while the vehicle is moving.
● Keep your engine in good
running condition. Malfunctions
in the engine electrical system,
electronic ignition
system/distributor ignition
system, or fuel system could
cause an extremely high
three-way catalytic converter
temperature.
● If the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, take
your vehicle in for a check-up as
soon as possible.
● To ensure that the three-way
catalytic converter and the entire
emission control system operate
properly, your vehicle must
receive the periodic inspections
required by your BYD AUTO
service station. For details, see
Section 6.
Engine exhaust cautions
CAUTION
● Avoid inhaling the engine
exhaust.
● Make sure the exhaust system
has no holes or loose
connections. The system should
be checked from time to time.
If you hit something, or notice a
change in the sound of the
exhaust, have the system
checked immediately.
● Do not run the engine in a
garage or enclosed area except
for the time needed to drive the
vehicle in or out. The exhaust
gases can not escape, making
this a particularly dangerous
situation.
● Do not remain for a long time
in a parked vehicle with the
engine running. If it is
unavoidable, however, do so
only in an unconfined area and
adjust the heating or cooling
system to force outside air into
the vehicle.
● Keep the luggage component
lid or back door closed while
driving. An open or unsealed
trunk lid or back door may
cause exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
● To allow proper operation of
your vehicle’s ventilation
system, keep the inlet grilles in
front of the windshield clear of
snow, leaves, or other
obstructions.
● If you smell exhaust fumes in
the vehicle, drive with the
windows open and the luggage
component lid or back door
closed. Have the cause
immediately located and
corrected.
