BYD F6. Service Instruction - part 2

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

In  any  of  the  above  circumstances,  the
airbags  and  seat  belt  tensioners  may  not
work  properly  when  they  are  needed.  You
shall  ask  for  help  from  the  BYD  AUTO
dealer as soon as possible.

Friendly tips

Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in
serious  injury  or  death  if  the  airbag
systems  or  tensioners  do  not  work
properly.

Have  your  vehicle  checked  by  a  BYD
AUTO dealer as soon as possible if the
SRS  indicator  alerts  you  to  a  possible
problem.

Airbag Maintenance
Your  airbag  systems  including  front  airbag
and  side  airbag  (optional)  are  virtually
maintenance free, and there are no parts you
can safely service. However, you must have
your vehicle serviced if:

1.  An  airbag  ever  inflates.  Any  airbag  that
has  deployed  must  be  replaced  along  with
the control unit, seat belt tensioner and other

related  parts.  Do  not  try  to  remove  or
replace any airbag by yourself. This must be
done by BYD AUTO dealer.

2. The SRS indicator alerts you to a problem.
Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer as
soon  as  possible.  If  you  ignore  this
indication,  your  airbags  may  not  operate
properly.

Only  trained  personnel  can  do  it.  Prohibit
removing  airbag  modules  and  seat  belts
tensioner  from  the  vehicle.  If  the  failure  of
engine  flameout  occurred  or  air  bags
inflated  or  seat  belt  tensioner  worked,  you
shall  go  to  a  BYD  AUTO  dealer  for
repairing or troubleshooting.

Supplementary safety notice
1. Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags.
Together, airbags  and  seat  belts provide  the
best protection.
2. Do not tamper with airbag components or
wiring  for  any  reason.  Tampering  could
cause  the  airbags  and  seat  belt  to  deploy,
possibly causing very serious injury.
For Cars with Side Airbags
1.  Do  not  expose  the  front  passenger‘s
seat-back  to  liquid.  If  water  or  spraying

liquid soaks into the seatback, it can prevent
the  side  airbag  system  from  working
properly.

2.  Do  not  cover  or  replace  front  seatback
covers  without  consulting  your  dealer.
Improperly  replacing  or  covering  front
seat-back  covers  can  prevent  your  side
airbags from inflating during a side impact.

For more information and notice on airbags

please refer to page 7.

Avoiding Toxic of Carbon Monoxide
Your  vehicle‘s  exhaust  contains  carbon
monoxide gas. You should have no problem
with  carbon  monoxide  entering  the  vehicle
in  normal  driving  if  you  maintain  your
vehicle properly.

Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks
whenever:
1． The vehicle is lifted for lubricant
change.
2．You notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust.
3．The vehicle was in an accident that may
have damaged its underside.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Friendly tips

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing
it  can  cause  unconsciousness  and  even
death.
Avoid  any  enclosed  conditions  or
activities  that  expose  you  to  carbon
monoxide.
High  levels  of  carbon  monoxide  can
concentrate  rapidly  in  enclosed  areas,
such  as  a  garage.  Do  not  run  the  engine
with  the  garage  door  closed.  Even  with
the  door  open,  run  the  engine  only  long
enough  to  move  the  vehicle  out  of  the
garage.

With  the  trunk  open,  airflow  can  pull
exhaust  gas  into  your  vehicle  interior  and
create  a  hazardous  condition.  If  you  must
drive  with  the  trunk  open,  open  all  the
windows and set the climate control system
as shown below.

If  you  must  sit  in  your  parked  vehicle  with
the  engine  running,  even  in  an  unconfined
area,  adjust  the  climate  control  system  as
follows:

1．Please choose Fresh Air mode。

2．Please choose

mode.

3．Turn the fan on High Speed.

4 ． Set the temperature control to a
comfortable setting.

Safety label

These  labels  are  in  the  locations  shown  in
the right figure. They warn you of potential
hazards  that  could  cause  serious  injury.
Read  these  labels  carefully.  If  a  label  falls
off  or  becomes  hard  to  read,  contact  your
dealer for a replacement

Indicators

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

The instrument panel has many indicators to
give you important information about your
vehicle.

Seat Belt Reminder Indicator

When turning the ignition switch to the ON
(II)  position,  it  reminds  you  and  your
passengers  to  fasten  your  seat  belts.  A
buzzer also sounds if you have not fastened
your seat belt.

If you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II)
position  before  fastening your  seat  belt,  the
buzzer  sounds  and  the  indicator  flashes.  If
you  do  not  fasten  your  seat  belt  before  the
buzzer stops, the indicator stops flashing but
remains on.

If  you  continue  driving  without  fastening
your  seat  belt,  the  buzzer  sounds  and  the
indicator flashes at regular intervals.

Low Oil Pressure Indicator

The engine can be severely damaged if this
indicator flashes or stays on when the
engine is running. For more information,
refer to

182

page.

Charging System Indicator

is running, the battery is not being charged.
For more information, refer to

183

page.

page.

Parking Brake and Brake System
Indicator
This indicator has two functions:

1.  It  comes  on  when  you  turn  the  ignition
switch  to  the  ON  (II)  position.  It  is  a

with  the  parking  brake  being  not  fully
released can damage the brakes and tires.

2. If it remains on after you fully release the
