In case of self maintenance, you
must follow the correct procedures
in this section.
This Chapter only explains
maintenance operations which can
easily be carried out by yourself.
However, some items must still be
performed at a BYD service station.
During operation, you must pay special
attention to avoiding accidental injuries.
You are required to follow the special
preventive measures below.
Tips
●
When the engine is running, you
must keep your body, clothes and
tools away from the running fans
and drive belt of the engine, and
remove items such as rings,
watches and neckties.
●
Immediately after driving, some
components in the engine
compartment will be very hot, so
observe caution and do not touch
them.
●
If the engine is hot, do not remove
the radiator cap to prevent burning
yourself.
●
Do not leave inflammable, such
as paper or rags, in the engine
compartment.
●
Be sure that the power is off if you
work near the electric cooling fan or
radiator grille. With the power on, the
electric cooling fan will automatically
start to run if the engine coolant
temperature is high or the air
conditioning is turned on.
●
Do not smoke for fear of causing
a fire around the fuel tank or the
battery.
●
Be sure to handle the battery with
special care, as it contains corrosive
sulphuric acid.
●
Do not go under your vehicle with
only the body jack supporting it.
Always use automotive jack stands or
other solid supports if you have to
work under your vehicle.
●
Use goggles whenever you work
on or under your vehicle to prevent
injury.
●
Since the brake fluid is harmful to
eyes and paint surface, be careful
when refilling. If the brake fluid
comes into contact with your skin,
rinse with soap water. If the brake
fluid comes into contact with your
eyes, wash your eyes at once, and
seek medical advice immediately.
●
Window cleaner, steering fluid
and brake fluid are flammable, keep
them away from sparks and naked
