Checking the engine coolant level
Look at the see-through coolant
reservoir when the engine is cooled.
The coolant level is satisfactory if it
stays between the “FULL” and
“LOW” lines on the reservoir.
Upon a lower level, add the coolant.
For the coolant type, see “Coolant
type selection” described below.
The coolant level in the reservoir
varies with the engine temperature.
However, if the level goes above or
below the “LOW” line, you should
add coolant to bring the level up to
the “FULL” line.
If the coolant level drops within a
short time after replenishing, there
may be a leak in the system. Visually
check the radiator, hoses, radiator cap
and drain cock and water pump.
If no leak is found, contact your BYD
AUTO service station to test the cap
pressure and check whether the
cooling system is leaking.
CAUTION
To prevent burns, do not remove
the radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
Coolant type selection
Only use the coolant approved by
BYD AUTO and choose suitable
coolant according to the temperature.
Use improper coolant will destroy the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION
Do not use too much plain water in
winter, because engine cooling
system would be damaged in this
way.
For details, please contact your BYD
AUTO service station.
