Safety check
It is a good idea to do a safety check
before starting out on a trip. A few
minutes of checking can help ensure
safe and pleasant driving. Just a basic
familiarity with your vehicle is
required and a careful eye! Otherwise,
if necessary, BYD AUTO service
station will do the check at a low
cost.
CAUTION
If you make this check in an
enclosed garage, make sure there is
adequate ventilation. The engine
exhaust is poisonous.
Before starting the engine
Outside the vehicle
Tire: check the pressure with a gauge
and look carefully for cuts, damage,
or excessive wear.
Wheel nuts: make sure no nuts are
missing or lost.
Fluid leaks: after the vehicle has
been parked for a while, check the
underneath for leaking fuel, oil water,
or fluid. (Water dripping from the air
conditioning after use is normal.)
Lights: Make sure the headlights,
stop lights, tail lights, turn signals and
other lights are all working. Check
the headlight strength.
Inside the vehicle
Spare tire, jack, and wheel nut
wrench:
Check the tire pressure and make sure
you have your jack and wheel nut
wrench.
Seat belts: check that the buckles
lock securely. Make sure the belts are
