Engine bonnet lock
Use mild detergent to clean the
engine bonnet lock, then wipe on
multipurpose lubricating oil. You
should contact a BYD service station
to handle it.
Make sure that the engine bonnet
lock is locked before driving.
Battery
Check the battery once per month.
You should check the colour of the
viewport window as well as for any
terminal corrosion.
Check the extent of battery terminal
corrosion (white or yellow powder). To
remove it, you should apply sodium
bicarbonate to the surface of the
terminals, the terminal will produce air
bubbles and gradually turn brown.
When the bubbles disappear, clean
using clean water, and dry with cloth
or paper. Finally apply grease to the
surface of the terminals to avoid
further corrosion.
Precautions on Battery
The battery may produce
inflammable and explosive
hydrogen. When using tools,
prevent the battery from
generating sparks. Do not smoke
or ignite anything near the battery.
Prevent electrolyte from touching
eye, skin or clothing.
Do not drink electrolyte by
mistake.
When working near the battery,
you must wear goggles. If
electrolyte enters the eyes, seek
medical advice immediately.
Keep children away from the
battery.
If electrolyte comes into contact
with the skin, immediately wash
the affected area thoroughly with
sodium bicarbonate. If you feel
burning or pain, seek medical
advice immediately.
When electrolyte is splashed on
your clothes, it may penetrate
and touch the skin. Please take
off the clothes with electrolyte
immediately, if necessary, treat it
as per the previous method.
To connect the battery with other
chargers, disconnect the anode and
cathode to prevent the electrical
system from damage.
