CAUTION
●
Before driving, make sure the parking
brake is fully released and the
parking brake reminder light is off.
●
After starting the engine, do not go
out of the vehicle.
●
Do not keep your foot on brake pedal.
Otherwise, it will cause over-heat,
abrasion, and poor fuel economy.
●
To drive down a long or step hill,
reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes
excessively, they may overheat and
not work properly.
●
Be careful when accelerating,
up-shifting, downshifting, or
braking on a slippery surface.
Sudden acceleration or engine
braking could cause the vehicle to
skid or spin.
●
Do not poke your head or arms
out of any window during driving.
Take special care when children
stay inside.
Do not continue normal driving when the
brakes are wet. If they are wet, your
vehicle will require a longer braking
distance, and it may pull to one side when
the brakes are applied. Also, the parking
brake will not hold the vehicle securely.
Notice
When running on the wet surface, please
avoid plashes. If much water enters the
engine compartment, the engine or
electric components will be damaged.
Driving tips in winter
Make sure your coolant is properly
protected against freezing.
Use the coolant which is appointed by BYD

NOTICE
Do not use too much plain water, since it
would be likely to damages the cooling
system of engine in winter.
Check the condition of the battery and
cables.
