BYD AUTO F3 OWNER’S MANUAL

Check the condition of the battery
and cables.
Cold temperature reduces the
capacity of any battery, so it must be
in top shape to provide enough power
for winter starting. Section7-3 tells
you how to visually inspect the
battery. Your BYD AUTO service
station will be pleased to check the
level of charge.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is
suitable for the cold weather.
See Section 7-2 for recommended
viscosity. Leaving much summer oil
in your vehicle during winter months
may cause harder starting. If you are
not sure about which oil to use, call
your BYD AUTO service station. We
will be pleased to help.
Keep door locks from freezing.
Squirt the lock deicer or glycerine
into the locks to keep them from
freezing.
Use cleaner containing
anti-freezing agent.
This product is available at your BYD
AUTO service station and most parts
stores. Follow the manufacturer’s
directions to mix the water with
agent.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitutes because it may
damage your vehicle’s paint.
Do not use your parking brake
when there is a possibility it could
freeze.
When parking, put the transmission
into some gear and block the rear
wheels. Do not use the parking brake,
or snow or water accumulated in and
around the parking brake mechanism
may freeze, making it hard to release.
Keep ice and snow from
accumulating under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your
fenders can make steering difficult.
During bad winter driving, stop and
check under the fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are
driving, we recommend you to
carry some emergency equipment.
Some of the objects you might put in
the vehicle are tire chains, window
scraper, bag of sand or salt, flares,
small shovel, jumper cables, etc.
Daggling other vehicles
BYD F3 is designed for carrying
passengers. Daggling other vehicles
will affect its operation, performance,
brake, durability and fuel economy.
The driving safety and comfort
completely depend on correct using
and driving habits. Do not overload
and daggle for your and others safety.
BYD AUTO does not offer guarantee
for the damage or malfunction due to
daggling with commercial purposes.
