BYD AUTO S6, S6A, S6K Owner's Manual
Self-maintenance 7-7
Transmission Fluid
Checking, changing and refilling
transmission fluid requires
professional skill and knowledge, so
please contact a BYD service station
to perform these operations.
Brake Fluid and Clutch Fluid
Check the fluid level in the fluid
reservoir monthly. The two types of
fluid are in the same reservoir.
Replace the brake fluid according to
recommended driving time and mileage
in the periodical maintenance schedule.
Make sure to use BYD original brake
fluid DOT4. The other types of brake
fluid are not compatible with your
vehicle's braking system. The brake
system and clutch system should use
the same type of brake fluid.
Brake System
The fluid level should be between the
lower (MIN) and upper (MAX) marks
on the side of fluid reservoir. If the
level is at or below the (MIN) mark,
check the braking system. Check the
braking system for leakage and brake
discs for abrasion.
Power Steering Fluid
Check the fluid level in the power
steering fluid reservoir monthly; this
task should be performed after the
engine has cooled down. Look over
the side of reservoir, the fluid level
should be between the upper level
and lower level. If it is below the lower
level, refill the power steering fluid so
the fluid level is up to the upper level.
Drop in power steering fluid level
means that the power steering system
may be leaking. Check the fluid level
frequently and check this system as
soon as possible.
Tips
Make sure to only use BYD
specified power steering fluid.
Use of other types of power
steering fluid will damage the
power steering system.
Refill the fluid slowly and
carefully and do overflow. Clean
up any spilled fluid immediately
as it may damage the
