BYD AUTO S6 Owner's Manual
Self-maintenance 7-5
Never add any rust inhibitor or other
additives to the cooling system, since
the additives may not be compatible
with the coolant or engine
components.
To avoid burning, do not remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
Windscreen Washer
Check the level in the windscreen
washer reservoir at least once a
month during normal using. In poor
weather conditions, if you use the
washer frequently, check the level in
the windscreen washer reservoir
when adding fuel.
The windscreen washer reservoir is
located in the engine compartment
behind the right headlight.
Check the reservoir's level by
removing the cap and looking at the
level gauge attached to the cap.
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windscreen washer fluid. This can
increase the cleaning capability, and
prevent freezing in cold weather.
When you refill the reservoir, clean the
edges of the windscreen wiper blades
with windscreen washer fluid on a
clean cloth. This will help to keep the
blade edges in good condition.
Do not fill the windscreen washer
reservoir with engine antifreeze or a
vinegar/water solution. Antifreeze can
damage the vehicle's paint, while a
vinegar/water solution can damage
the windscreen washer motor.
It is recommended to only use the
windscreen washer fluid which is
available from BYD service stations.
