Running-in period
Drive gently and avoid high speed.
Your vehicle does not need an
elaborate running in, but you can
follow a few simple tips below for the
first 2000 km to save fuel and
prolong the service life of your
vehicle:
● Avoid full throttle acceleration
when starting and driving.
● Avoid running the engine in over
speed mode.
● Avoid sudden brakes for the first
300km.
● Do not drive for a long time at
any single speed, either fast or
slow.
● Do not tow a trailer during the
first 2000km.
Fuel
Selecting the proper fuel is essential
for satisfactory engine
performance.
It’s also important to pay attention
to the emission control and the
maintenance of relevant apparatus.
Engine damage caused by use of
improper fuels is not covered under
BYD F3 warranty.
Fuel type
Only the GB17930-93# unleaded
gasoline can be applied.
In order to avoid the mistakes made
by gas station, there is a smaller
opening in the fuel box. The special
muzzle of unleaded gasoline pump is
well-matched with it, while the bigger
standard muzzle is unusable.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline on
vehicle. This may cause the
three-way catalytic converter to lose
its effectiveness and the emission
control system to function
improperly. In addition, this can
increase the maintenance cost.
NOTICE
The vehicle emission system must
apply the GB17930-93# or above
unleaded gasoline.
If your engine has ignition knock
If you detect heavy ignition knock
even when using the recommended
fuel, or if you hear steady ignition
knocks while holding a steady speed
on level roads, consult your BYD
AUTO service station.
