BYD AUTO F3 OWNER’S MANUAL
125
Instruments and controls: special
attention should be taken to make
sure that the service reminder
indicators, instrument lights, and
defrosters are working.
Brake: make sure the pedal has
enough clearance and the brake works
properly.
In the engine compartment
Spare fuses: make sure you have
spare fuses. They should cover all the
amperage ratings designated on the
fuse box lid.
Coolant level: make sure the coolant
level is correct. See Section 7-2 for
instructions.
Battery and cables: all the battery
cells should be filled to the proper
level with distilled water. Look for
corroded or loose terminals and a
cracked case. Check the cables for
good condition and connections.
Wiring: look for damaged, loose, or
disconnected wires.
Fuel lines: check the lines for leaks
or loose connections.
CAUTION
Do not stack children’s toys inside
the vehicle. Although easy for play,
this may cause potential safety
hazards, especially for emergency
brakes or crashes. These toys not
only affect the driving safety, but
also can become dangerous for
children.
After starting the engine
Exhaust system: listen for any
leakage. Have any leaks fixed
immediately. See “engine exhaust
cautions” in Section 2.
Engine oil level: stop the engine and
park on a level spot. See section 7-2
for instructions.
While driving
Instrument: make sure the
speedometer and gauges are working.
Brake: in a safe place, check that the
brakes do not pull the one side when
applied.
Other unusual phenomena: check
whether there is loose part, leaks, or
abnormal noise.
If there’s no malfunction, you can get
released and enjoy your driving.
Note whether there is some noise at
the beginning.
Tips for driving in various
conditions
● Always slow down in gusty
crosswinds. This allows you to
control much better.
● Drive slowly onto curbs and, if
possible, at a right angle. Avoid
driving onto high, sharp-edged
objects and other road hazards.
Failure to do so can lead to
severe tire damage such as a tire
burst.
