Check the battery and the cable.

cold whether, so the battery shall have
sufficient power for starting in winter.
Section 7-3 introduces battery examination
by eye. BYD authorized service stations can
examine the charging status of the battery
for you.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is
suitable for driving in winter.
Refer to Section 7-2 for recommended
engine oil viscosity. Too much summer-use
engine oil remaining in the engine will lead
to starting difficulty in winter. If you are not

can seek help in any BYD authorized
service station.
Protect door locks from being frozen by
ice or snow.
Inject some deicer or glycerin into the door
lock holes to prevent freezing.
Apply cleaning liquids containing
anti-freezing agents.
Such products are available in BYD
authorized service stations. The
anti-freezing agent should be mixed with
water according to instructions of the
manufacturer.
Notice
 Do not use the engine
anti-freezing agent or other
substitutes as the cleaning liquid,
since it may damage the vehicle
paint.
Do not use the parking brake if it may be
frozen.
For parking, set the gear lever in the neutral
gear and block up the rear wheels. Avoid
using the parking brake; otherwise, its
periphery may be frozen by accumulated
water or snow, causing it difficult to release
.
Make sure there is no accumulated snow
or ice under the dashboard.
Accumulated snow or ice under the
dashboard may lead to turning difficulty. In
freezing winter, you should stop often to see
whether there is any accumulated ice or
snow under the dashboard.
It is suggested you carry some necessary
tools for emergent use according to the
road conditions.
It’s best you have a tire chain, a window
scraper, a bag of sand or salt, a signal
flashing device, a small shovel, connecting
cables, etc. in the vehicle.
Trailer towing
BYD F0 is designed mainly for transporting
passengers. Towing trailers will exert
adverse influence on operation,
performance, brake, durability and
economical driving (fuel consumption, etc.)
Safety and comfort of driving are totally
dependent on correct use of the instruments
and a good driving habit. For your own and
others’ safety, do not overload the vehicle
or use it to haul trailers. BYD won’t take
responsibilities for damage or faults caused
by trailing with commercial purposes.
