19．Store the center cover in the trunk, make
sure it does not get scratched or damaged.

20．Lower the trunk floor, and then close the
trunk lid.

If engine can’t start

Diagnosing why the engine won‘t start falls
into  two areas  depending  on  what you  hear
when  you  turn  the  ignition  switch  to  the
START (Ⅲ) position:
1. You hear nothing, or almost nothing. This
means  that  the  engine‘s  starter  motor  does
not operate at all, or operate very slowly.

2.  You  can  hear  the  starter  motor  operating
normally  or  the  starter  motor  sounds  like  it
is  spinning  faster  than  normal,  but  the
engine does not start up and run.

Can’t start engine or starter
running slowly

When  you  turn  the  ignition  switch  to  the
START  (Ⅲ)  position,  you  don‘t  hear  the
normal  sound  of  the  engine  trying  to  start.
You  may  hear  a  clicking  sound  or  series  of
clicks, or nothing at all.
Check these things:

On the vehicle installing AT
Make sure the position of shift lever, the
shift lever must be in Park or Neutral.

On the vehicle installing MT
1.  The  clutch  pedal  must  be  pushed  all  the
way  to  the  floor,  or  the  starter  will  not
operate, and it may damage the starter.

2.  Turn  the  ignition  switch  to  the  ON  (Ⅱ)
position.  Turn  on  the  headlights,  and  check
their  brightness.  If  the  headlights  are  very
dim or do not come  on at all, the  battery is
discharged.  At  this  time,  see  Jump  Starting
on 148

page.

3.  Turn  the  ignition  switch  to  the  START
(Ⅲ)  position.  If  the  headlights  do  not  dim,
check the condition of the fuses. If the fuses
are OK, there is probably something wrong
with  the  electrical  circuit  for  the  ignition
switch  or  starter  motor.  You  will  need  a
qualified  technician  to  determine  the
problem  (Emergency  Towing  on  159

page).

If  the  headlights  dim  noticeably  or  got  out
when  you  try  to  start  the  engine,  either  the
battery is  discharged  or the  connections are

corroded. Check the condition of the battery
connections (refer to 118

page). You can

then try jump starting the vehicle from a
booster battery (refer to 148

page).

Starter running normally

In this case, the starter motor‘s speed sound
normal  or  even  faster  than  normal,  when
you  turn  the  ignition  switch  to  the  START
(Ⅲ) position, but the engine does not run.
1.  Are  you  using  the  proper  starting
procedure?  Refer  to  the  starting  the  engine
on 86

page

2.  Do  you  have  fuel?  Turn  the  ignition
switch  to  ON  (Ⅱ)  position,  stop  for  one
minute,  then  check  the  fuel  gauge.  The
lower fuel indicator may not be working, so
it does not remind you to add fuel.
3, There may be an electrical problem, such
as no power to the fuel pump. Check all the
fuses (refer to

158

page).

If you find nothing wrong, you will need a
qualified mechanic to find out the problem.
See Emergency Towing on 162

page.

Pushing car to start engine

(for model with manual transmission)

If the vehicle‘s battery is discharged, maybe
you can use a booster battery to start the
engine. Although this seems like a simple
procedure,

you

would

take

several

precautions.

Friendly tips

A  battery  can  explode  if  you  do  not
follow  the  correct  procedure,  seriously
injuring anyone nearby.

Make  sure  to  keep  all  sparks,  open
flames  and  smoking  materials  away
from the battery.

If  the  battery  is  out  of  connecting  or
discharging,  the  setting  of  clock  and
presupposition  frequency  on  the  sound
system will be  cancelled. You need to reset
the  clock  and  presupposition  frequency
according  to  the  explanation  on  sound
system section.

You can not start BYD AT vehicle by
pushing or pulling it

If you want to push car to start engine, you
must  observe  the  explanation  strictly  as
following:
1.Open  the  hood,  and  check  the  physical
condition  of  the  battery.    (Refer  to  116

page).  In  the  very  cold  weather,  check  the
condition  of  the  electrolyte,  if  it  seems
slushy  or  frozen;  do  not  to  push  starting
until it thaws.

Friendly tips

If the battery sits in extreme cold, the
electrolyte inside can freeze. Attempt to
push starting with a frozen battery can
cause it to rupture.

2.  Turn  off  all  the  electrical  accessories
(A/C,  sound  system,  lights,  ect.).  Put  the
transmission in Neutral or Park, and set the
parking brake.

3.  Connect  on  jumper  cable  to  the  positive
(+)  terminal  on  your  battery  of  BYD,
connect  the  other  end  to  the  positive  (+)
terminal on the booster battery.

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

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

147

4．Connect the second jumper cable to the
negative (-) terminal on the booster battery,
connect the other end to the grounding strap
as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable
to any other part of the engine.

5．If the booster battery is in another vehicle,
have an assistant start the vehicle and run it
at a fast idle.

6．Start the vehicle. If the starter motor still
operates  slowly,  check  the  cnnnecting
condition  of  the  jumper  cables  and  make
sure  that  they  have  good  metal-to-metal
contact.

7．Once your vehicle is running, disconnect
the  negative  cable  from  your  vehicle,  then
from  the  booster  battery.  Disconnect  the
positive cable from your vehicle, then from
the booster battery.

Keep  the  ends  of  the  jumper  cables  away
from each other. At the same time, keep the
ends  of  the  jumper  cables  away  from  any
metal  on  the  vehicle  until  everything  is
disconnected. Otherwise, you may cause an
electrical short.

Engine overheating

In  the  most  condition,  the  pointer  of  the
vehicle‘s  temperature  gauge  should  stay  in
the  midrange.  If  you  drive  up  a  long  steep
hill  in  the  hot  day,  the  pointer  may  rise  to
the  red  mark,  and  then  you  should
determine the reason of overheating.

Notice:
Driving  with  the  temperature  gauge  pointer
at the red mark can cause serious damage to
the engine.

Several  kinds  of  reasons  can  cause  the
vehicle  overheating,  as  short  of  coolant  or

mechanical failure. The only indication may
be  the  coolant  temperature  gauge  rising  to
or  above  the  red  mark.  Or  you  may  see
steam or spray coming from under the hood.
No  matter  what  kind  of  condition  appears,
you must take measures at once.

Friendly tips

Steam  and  spray  from  an  overheated
engine can seriously scald you.
Do  not  open  the  hood  if  steam  is
coming out.

1．Safely pull to the side of the road. Put the
transmission in Neutral or Park, and set the
parking  brake. Turn off the A/C and  all the
other  accessories,  and  turn  on  the  hazard
warning lights.

2．If  you  see  steam  and/or  spray  coming
from under the hood, turn off the engine.

3．If you don‘t see steam or spray, leave the
engine  running,  and  watch  the  coolant
temperature gauge. If the high heat is due to
overloading  (for  example,  drive  up  a  long

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

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

148

steep  hill  with  the  A/C  opening  in  the  hot
day),  the  engine  should  start  to  cool  down
almost immediately. At this time, wait until
the  coolant  temperature  gauge  comes  down
to the midpoint, and then continue driving.

4．If the coolant temperature gauge stays at
the red mark, turn off the engine.

5．Open the hood until you do not see any
steam or spray coming out.

6．Look for any obvious coolant leaks, such
as  a  split  radiator  hose.  Every  part  is  still
extremely hot, so use caution. If you find a
leak,  it  must  be  repaired  before  you
continue  driving  (refer  to  Emergency
Towing on 200

page).

7．If you don‘t find an obvious leak, check
the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank
(refer to 105

page). If the level is below

the MIN mark, add coolant, and let the level
rise between MIN and MAX marks.

8．If there was no coolant in the reserve tank,
you may need to add coolant to the radiator.
Let the engine cool down until the pointer

reaches the middle of the temperature gauge,
or lower, before checking the radiator.

Friendly tips

Removing  the  radiator  cap  while  the
engine  is  hot  can  cause  the  coolant  to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always make sure to let the engine and
radiator cool down before removing the
radiator cap.

9．Using gloves or a large heavy cloth, turn
the  radiator  cap  counterclockwise,  without
pushing  down,  to  the  first  stop.  After  the
pressure  releases,  push  down  on  the  cap,
and turn it until it comes off.

10．Start the engine and set the temperature
control  dial  to  maximum  (set  the  A/C  on
AUTO,  ―Hi‖).  Add  coolant  to  the  radiator
up  to  the  base  of  the  filler  neck.  If  you  do
not  have  the  proper  coolant  mixture
available,  you  can  add  plain  water.
Remember  to  have  refilled  with  the  proper
mixture as soon as you can.

11．Put the radiator cap back and tightening
it. Run the engine, and watch the
temperature gauge, if the pointer rises to the
red mark, the engine needs repair (see
Emergency Towing on 162

page).

12．If  the  temperature  stays  normal,  check
the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank.
If  it  has  gone  down,  add  coolant  to  the
MAX  mark.  Then  put  the  cap  back  and
tightening it.

Engine oil pressure indicator

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

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

149

The  indicator  is  on  when  turning  ignitions
witch to  ON  (Ⅱ). The  indicator  is  off after
starting  engine.  And  indicator  is  off  within
engine  working.  If  it  twinkles,  show  oil
pressure  descends  too  fast  instantaneously,
but get normal once more. If the indicator is
always  on  within  engine  working,  show  it
has hadn‘t oil pressure and engine may have
a  serious  hurt. Whatever  above  any symbol
happens, should take measures immediately.

Friendly tips
when  engine  work  at  low  oil  pressure,
that  will  cause  a  serious  mechanical
hurt.
Park  vehicle  at  safe  place  as  soon  as
possible, and close the engine.

1．Park  vehicle  at  safe  place,  close  the
engine  and  open  the  dangerous  warning
indicator.

2．Stop  vehicle  for  a  minute.  Open  engine
hood and check up the level of oil  (refer to
120th page). Though the oil pressure hasn‘t
direct  relationship  with  its  level,  if  the  oil
has  serious  shortage,  when  turning  or  other
operations, the oil will lose pressure.

3．If necessary, add oil to make the level of
oil  get  to  the  highest  scale  of  oil  dip  rod
(refer to 79th page).

4．Start  engine  and  observe  the  low  oil
pressure  indicator.  If  it  is  off  within  10
seconds,  close  engine.  This  shows  that
engine  has  mechanical  failure,  you  can
drive  it  after  repairing  (refer  to  162nd  page
about urgency draught).

Battery charging indicator

The  indicator  light  should  be  on  when
turning  ignition  switch  to  ON  (Ⅱ)  and
misfire after starting the engine.

If it is on when the engine working, it shows
that the charge system has stopped to charge
battery.

So you should immediately close all electric
accessories,  such  as  radio,  A/C,  rear
window  defrosting  device,  and  cruise
control  system  etc.  And  don‘t  use  other
power control device as possible as you can.
Continue  to  keep  the  engine  working,  and
notice  doesn‘t  make  it  misfire.  Starting
engine  will  make  the  battery  discharged
sooner.
You  can  drive  for  several  mileages  before
the  power  is  discharged  by  releasing  the
electric load. Drive vehicle to the gas station
or repair shop to get the technique help.

Engine malfunction indicator

The  indicator  is  on  for  several  seconds
when  turning  ignition  switch  to  ON  (Ⅱ).
That  shows  a  control  system  of  the  engine
or  transmission  may  have  failure.  You  may
not  feel  unmoral,  but  the  failure may  lower
ability  of  saving  fuel  and  cause  more
emission. You may cause more serious hurt
when go on working at the state.

If  the  indicator  is  on,  park  your  vehicle  at
the  road  and  close  engine.  Anew  start
engine  and  check  up  the  indicator.  If  the
indicator  is  still  on,  call  BYD  authorized
service station for checking up your vehicle.
Before  the  repairman  come,  carefully  drive
to  avoid  the  throttle  valve  full  opening  and

drive  at  a  high  speed.  If  the  indicator  is
frequently  on,  even  if  close  it  according  to
the  above  step,  it  is  necessary  to  call  BYD
authorized service station for repairing.

Friendly tip

If go on driving vehicle when the
malfunction indicator is on. That will
hurt emission system and the engine. Its
repair isn‘t included in the maintenance.

Brake system indicator

The  indicator  will  be  on  when  turning
ignition  switch  to  ON  (Ⅱ).  It  reminds  you
to check up the parking handle. If you don‘t
fully  put  it  down,  the  indicator  will  be
always on.

Whenever  the  indicator  is  on,  it  shows  that
brake  system  has  failure.  The  problem  is
mainly  that  the  level  of  brake  liquid  is  too
low.

Step  the  brake  pedal  lightly  to  test  whether
it is normal. If normal, you should check up
the  level  of  brake  liquid  (refer  to  112nd
page)  in  the  next  fuel  station.  If  there  is  a
low  level,  you  should  drive  to  BYD
authorized  service  station  to  check  up
whether  the  brake  system  has  symbol  of
brake  system  leakage  and  the  wearing
extent of brake disc.
But,  if  the  brake  pedal  is  unmoral,  you
should  take  measures  immediately,  because
the  design  of  brake  system  is  dual  loop.
Even  if  a  part  of  system  has  failure,  other
both  wheels  are  still  broken.  The  time  you
must  step  pedal  deeply,  the  vehicle  can
decelerate  and  the  brake  distance  also  is
longer.

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

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

151

Shift  to  low  gear  to  decelerate,  and  park
your  vehicle  at  the  road.  Because  of  the
long  brake  distance,  drive  is  dangerous.
Trail  the  vehicle  and  repair  it  as  soon  as
possible.    (Refer  to  162nd  page  about
urgent draught).
If  you  have  to  drive  for  a  short  distance  at
the state, be sure to carefully drive at a low
speed.

If  the  ABS  indicator  and  it  is  on  together,
should  immediately  send  your  vehicle  to
BYD authorized service station to repair.

Close power sun roof

If  you  can‘t  close  the  sun  roof  by  power
motor, please take the following operation：
1．Check up the fuse of power motor (refer
to 187th page), if the fuse is burned, replace
the fuse whose aph value is the same or low.
2．Try to close sun roof, if the new fuse is
burned  immediately  or  the  motor  doesn‘t
work,  you  can  close  sun  roof  with  your
hands.

3．Take out the sun roof wrench from the

combination tool in the trunk.

4 ． Disassemble the round embolism by
screwdriver or coin.

5．Insert the wrench into sleeve of embolism,
rotate  wrench  until  the  sun  roof  is  fully
closed.
6．Pull out wrench, fix the round embolism
anew.
If  you  need  close  the  sun  roof  by  hands,  it
shows that the closing and opening function
of sun roof has failure. Call BYD authorized
service station to repair.

Fuses
All  circuitry  has  itself  fuse  on  your  vehicle
to  avoid  short  circuitry  or  overtaking  load.
The fuses are fixed in both fuse boxes.

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

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

152

The interior fuse box is under the driver side.
To disassemble it, pull and take out it from
hinge.

Fuse box under engine hood lies in left
rearside of engine chamber. To open it,
press button as the picture shows.

Check and replace fuses

If  an  electric  device  doesn‘t  work,  firstly
find out burned fuse. According to diagram
from  158th  page  to  159th  page  or  the
position picture on the fuse box cover, make
sure which a fuse or several fuse control the
device.  Firstly  check  up  above  fuses,  but
before  making  sure  burned  fuse  isn‘t  the

reason for malfunction, should check up all
fuses. Replace all burned fuses and check
up the work state of all electric devices.
1．Turn ignition switch to LOCK (0), make
sure the headlight as well as other accessory
have been closed.

2．Open the fuse box.

3．Measure both ends of fuse with the lead
gear of multimeter. Make sure whether it is
burned;  check  up  every  thick  fuse  in  the
fuse box under engine hood.
To  disassemble  these  fuses,  you  must  use
the cross screwdriver.

4．Use the fuse extractor attached in the fuse
box under engine hood, pull out the thinner
fuse in the fuse box under engine hood and
all fuses in the interior fuse box. Check up
them one by one.

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

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

153

5．Find out the burned fuses, if burned, you
should  replace  them  with  spare  fuse  which
has a same amp value or lower.

When  you  can‘t  drive  vehicle  for  still

having  malfunction  and  hasn‘t  the  spare
fuse  to  replace,  pull  out  the  fuse,  it  has  a
same aph value or lower from other circuitry,
instead of it. But firstly you must make sure
the  circuitry  (cigar  lighter  or  radio)  has  no
influence on drive.

The replaced spare fuse may be burned once
more.
Though  it  doesn‘t  show  that  there  is
malfunction,  also  you  should  use  the  fuse
which  has  right  rating  value  to  replace  as
soon as possible.

Notice
Replacing the burned fuse with the fuse
which  has  a  higher  amp  value  will
increase  the  possibility  of  electric
system  hurting.  If  there  isn‘t  the  fuse

which matches with the circuitry, you
should use the fuse whose amp value is
low.

6．If the substitute fuses which has the same
rating  is  burned  in  a  short  time,  which
shows the vehicle has a serious malfunction
in  the  electric  system.  Call  the  qualified
technician for checking up your vehicle.

If  the fuse of radio  system is taken out, the
setting  of  clock  and  frequency  will  be
cancelled.  Anew  set  them  according  to  the
chapter of radio system.

Emergent Traction

If your vehicle needs to be towed, call a
professional

towing

service

organization.  Never  tow  your  vehicle  with
just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.

There are three ways to tow your vehicle.

1．Flat-bed  Equipment  —  The  operator
loads  your  vehicle  on  the  back  of  a  truck.
This is the best way to transport your BYD
vehicle.

2 ． Wheel-lift  Equipment  —  The  tow
truckuses  two  pivoting  arms  that  go  under
the tires (front or rear) and lift them off the
ground.  The  other  two  tires  remain  on  the
ground.  This  is  an  acceptable  way  to  tow
your BYD vehicle.

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

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

158

Notice

If  your  BYD  vehicle  can  not  use
Flat-bed  Equipment  to  transport,  you
should  use  Wheel-lift  Equipment  to
transport.  If,  due  to  damage,  your
vehicle  must  be  towed  with  the  front
wheels on the ground, do the following:

Manual transmission:
1 Release the parking brake.
2 put the transmission in Neutral.
3  Leave  the  ignition  switch  in  the
ACCESSORY  (Ⅰ)  position,  so  the
steering wheel does not lock.

Automatic transmission:
1 Release the parking brake.
2 Start the engine.
3 Shift to Drive, then to Neutral.
4 turn off the engine.
5  Leave  the  ignition  switch  in  the
ACCESSORY  (Ⅰ)  position,  so  the
steering wheel does not lock.

CVT transmission:

The  model  with  VT2-04O  transmission
cannot  haul,  because  only  when  the  engine
runs,  can  the  cone  pulley  produce  oil
pressure,  and  then  the  drive  belt  can  run.
Thus,  the  front  wheel  must  be  raised  to
begin hauling (hanging hauling)

3．If you can not find trailer company while
occurring  emergency  faults,  you  can  use
towing  hook  to  tow  the  vehicle.  There  is  a
decoration  cover  on  the  humper  under  the
right front headlight. Remove the cover, and
take out the towing hook from vehicle tools
and screw into the towing hook bracket and
tightening  it,  use  the  special  trailer  cable.
You  must  be  careful  while  towing  the
vehicle.

For CVT vehicle, the gear must be

put on ―N‖ and the engine must run in case
of emergent traction. Only if the engine runs,
can the oil pump of the transmission
provide oil pressure and the drive belt can
run, or it will damage the drive belt.

The driver must sit in the towed vehicle;
operate the vehicle and the brakes

Notice
