Check Cooling Fluid Level in
Engine
Check the transparent overflow tank
of the cooling fluid when the engine is
cold. If the cooling fluid level is
located between ―FULL‖ and ―LOW‖
line on the tank, it is in compliance
with the requirement. If the fluid level
is low, additional cooling fluid shall be
added. (Refer to section ―
Choose
Cooling Fluid
‖ below for information
on usable type of cooling fluid.)
The cooling fluid level in the overflow
tank varies with the temperature of
the engine. But if the fluid level is
under ―LOW‖ line, more fluid shall be
added until fluid level reaches ―FULL‖
line.
After adding cooling fluid, if the fluid
level drops in short period, there may
be leakage in the system. You shall
conduct visual check to radiator, hose,
radiator cap, drain cock and pump.
If visual check can not find out
leakage, please contact BYD service
station to check cap pressure and
