Tip

A/C abnormal smell symptom:

Upon the turn-on of A/C, the airflow outputted by the A/C probably contains a
moist and
moldy smell. It’s a normal symptom that the A/C outputs an abnormal
smell. During the working of A/C, the evaporator will be easily adhered with A/C
condensates and the wet evaporator will also be easily adhered with the
non-filtered passenger sweats and dusts. If the condensates on the evaporator
are not blown dry, the molds will easily breed on the dark and moist evaporator
surfaces and the long-time fermentation of molds will easily generate abnormal
smell.

Method for prevention of A/C abnormal smell:

Before stopping the vehicle, turn off the A/C and run under ventilation mode to
maintain relatively dry.

Periodically check, clean, or replace filter screen.

Keep the inside of vehicle compartment clean and fresh.

If the abnormal smell is always present after taking the method for prevention of
abnormal swell, it’s recommended to contact a BYD Auto Authorized Service Station
for repairs.
