BYD AUTO F3 OWNER’S MANUAL

● Drive slowly on the rough road.
Otherwise, the wheels or the tires
may be damaged.
● Washing your vehicle or driving
through deep water may get the
brakes wet. To see whether they
are wet, check that there is no
traffic near you first, and then
press the pedal lightly. If you do
not feel a normal braking force,
the brakes are probably wet. To
dry them, drive the vehicle
cautiously while lightly pressing
the brake pedal with the parking
brake applied. If they still do not
work safely, pull to the side of
the road and call your BYD
AUTO service station for
assistance.
CAUTION
● Before driving, make sure the
parking brake is fully released
and the parking brake
reminder light is off.
● After starting the engine, do
not go out of the vehicle.
● Do not keep your foot on brake
pedal. Otherwise, it will cause
over-heat, abrasion, and poor
fuel economy.
● To drive down a long or step
hill, reduce your speed and
downshift. Remember, if you
ride the brakes excessively,
they may overheat and not
work properly.
● Be careful when accelerating,
up-shifting, downshifting, or
braking on a slippery surface.
Sudden acceleration or engine
braking could cause the vehicle
to skid or spin.
● Do not poke your head or arms
out of any window during
driving. Take special care when
children stay inside.
Do not continue normal driving
when the brakes are wet. If they
are wet, your vehicle will require a
longer braking distance, and it may
pull to one side when the brakes
are applied. Also, the parking
brake will not hold the vehicle
securely.
Notice
When running on the wet surface,
please avoid plashes. If much water
enters the engine compartment, the
engine or electric components will
be damaged.
Driving tips in winter
Make sure your coolant is properly
protected against freezing.
Use the coolant which is appointed by
BYD AUTO only.
NOTICE
Do not use too much plain water,
since it would be likely to damages
the cooling system of engine in
winter.
