Adding Washer Fluid
NOTICE
y Do not use engine antifreeze or
any other substitute because it
may damage your vehicle’s
paint.
Replacing Light Bulbs
If you need to replace any light bulb,
have it done by a BYD service station.
If any washer doesn’t work, the
washer fluid reservoir may be empty.
Please check the fluid level on the
level gauge. If the fluid level is near
LOW level, add washer fluid.
You may use plain water as washer
fluid. However, in cold days when
temperature is below the freezing
point, antifreeze must be contained in
the washer fluid. This product is
available at your BYD dealer and
most auto parts stores. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
mixture ratio of antifreeze and water.
