Importance of engine oil level check
One of the most important points in proper
vehicle maintenance is to keep the engine oil
at the optimum level so that oil function will
not be impaired. Therefore, it is essential that
the oil level be checked regularly. BYD AUTO
recommends that the oil level be checked
every time you refuel the vehicle.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
For detailed information on oil level check,
see “Checking the engine oil
level” in Section7-2.
Shift control
Manual transmission
To run smoothly, the manual transmission is
synchronized at all the drive gear, the manual
transmission is equipped with locking devices
so as not to directly shift from the 5 gear to
reverse. You should press clutch pedal to
end when shifting, not let your foot on the
clutch pedal, otherwise it will speed up the
clutch abrasion when no shift.
Shift to the Reverse only stopping the vehicle
completely. Shifting to
Reverse during driving will damage the
transmission. After pressing on the clutch
pedal, before shifting to reverse, should stay
a few seconds, or shift the drive gear on a
short stay. This will stop the gear to avoid mill
each other.
Slow down, under shift can obtain additional
braking force from the engine. This additional
braking force will help maintain a safe speed,
to prevent the brakes overheating in the
downhill.
Warning:
Fast accelerate and fast decelerate on the
slip road will cause the losing
control of vehicle. The event of a crash will
cause you injury. Should be extra carefully
driving at the slip road.
