Chains
Snow chains are only used for
emergencies or in special areas
where they are required by local
regulations. Install the snow chains on
the front tyres. Please pay special
attention when driving your vehicle
with snow chains on slippery roads,
such as those covered with ice or
snow. Since some snow chains may
damage the tyres, wheels,
suspensions and vehicle body,
choose chains with small teeth in
order to allow sufficient gaps between
tyre and other parts in the wheel well.
Look through and read parts
assembly graph and other instructions
of chain manufacturer carefully.
Before purchase and installation,
please consult a BYD service station.
After installation is completed, drive
on icy and snowy roads below 30
km/h. To reduce the abrasion of tyres
and chains as far as possible, please
avoid driving with the tyre installed
chains on roads which are not
covered with ice and snow.
The driving speed should not be
higher than 30 km/h or the speed
specified by chain manufacturer.
Drive carefully with tyre chains
installed and avoid protrusion,
holes and sharp turns on the
road, which may jolt the car.
When tyre chain is installed,
avoid sharp turn or braking with
wheels locked, which may pose
adverse effect to car operability.
When tyre chains are installed,
slow the car down before turning
to prevent losing control of the
car.
Lamps

before delivery. If the vehicle is
heavily loaded frequently, the
headlights may need to be aligned
again. Please go to a BYD service
station to complete this task.

Do not touch the glass portion of the
bulb with bare skin or hard objects.
When the headlight halogen bulbs
are on, they become very hot.

glass will result in bulb breakage
due to overheating.
