Driving preparation

You should do the following checks and
adjustments before you drive your vehicle:

1. Make sure all windows, mirrors and
outside lights are clean and unobstructed.
Remove frost, snow and ice stockpiling
above.
2. Check that the hood and the trunk are
fully closed.
3. Visually check the status of the tires. If a
tire looks slow, check its pressure using a
gauge.
4. Check that any items you may be
carrying are stored properly or fasten down
securely.
5. Check the seat adjustment (refer to 42nd
page).
6. Check the adjustment of inside and
outside mirrors (refer to 86th page).
7. Check the steering wheel adjustment
(refer to 35th page).
8. Make sure the doors are securely closed
and locked.
9. Fasten your seat belt. Check that your
passengers have fastened their seat belts
(refer to 6th page).

10. Turn the ignition switch to the position
of ON (Ⅱ), and check the indicators in the
instrument panel.

11. Start the engine (refer to 86th page).

12. Check the gauges and indicators in the
instrument panel (refer to 24th page).

Start engine

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. In cold weather, turn off all electrical
accessories to reduce the consumption of
the battery.

3. Manual transmission:
Make sure the shift lever is in neutral. If it
isn‘t, press down the clutch pedal, and
change the transmission shift lever to
neutral, press down the brake pedal.

Automatic transmission/CVT transmission
Make sure the shift lever is in park (P) or in
neutral (N), press down the brake pedal.

4. Turn the ignition key to the START (III)
position at the condition of not pressing
down the accelerator pedal. If the engine
doesn‘t start right away, turn the key away
from the START (III) position in 15 seconds,
and pause for at least 10 seconds before try
again.

5. If the engine doesn‘t start within 15
seconds, or starts but stalls right away,
repeat step 4 with the accelerator pedal
pressed halfway down. If the engine starts,
leave the foot from the accelerator pedal, so
the engine does not race in high speed.

6. If the engine still doesn‘t start, press the
accelerator pedal down to the bottom and
hold it there in the ignition process to clear
flooding. Do as it says before, the time that
the key pauses on the START (III) position
doesn‘t exceed 15 seconds. If the engine
still doesn‘t start, repeat step 5. After
starting the engine, leave the feet from the
accelerator pedal, so the engine does not
race in high speed.

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Start in high altitude (>2400m)
cold weather

The engine is hard to start in cold weather.
Also, the engine is more hard to start in the
thinner air found at altitudes above 2,400
meters.
At this time, you should take following
steps:
1. Turn off all electrical accessories to
reduce the consumption of the battery.
2. Press the accelerator pedal halfway down,
and hold it there in the whole process. The
time that the key pauses on the START (III)
position do not exceed 15 seconds. After the
engine starts, you should release the
accelerator pedal slowly when the engine
speed accelerates and engine running goes
stability.
3. If the engine doesn‘t start after doing step
2, press the accelerator pedal down to the
bottom and hold it there, try to start the
engine in 15 seconds again. If the engine
still doesn‘t start, repeat step 2.
If the temperature out of vehicle is below
centigrade zero, or your vehicle has parked
for several days without being driven,
preheat the engine several minutes before
driving.

Manual transmission

To run stably, manual transmission all has
synchronizer on all of driving gear. Manual
transmission has locking device, to avoid
shifting gear from the fifth gear to reverse
gear directly. When shifting gear, you must
tread the clutch pedal down to bottom.
When not shifting gear, don‘t put you feet
on the clutch pedal, or it can accelerate the
abrasion of clutch.

Only after stopping the vehicle completely,
you may shift to reverse gear. If you shift to
reverse gear when the vehicle doesn‘t stop
completely, it will damage the transmission.
After treading down the clutch pedal, and
before shifting to reverse gear, you should
stop a few seconds, or shift to one driving
gear and stop for a moment. In this way, it
will make the gear stop running, and avoid
―milling‖ each other.

When

decelerating,

obtain

additional

braking force from the engine by the way of
downshifting. The additional braking force
is helpful to keep one safety speed, when
driving down the ramp; it can prevent the
braking

system

overheating.

Before

downshifting, you need to ensure that the
engine speed display doesn‘t enter in the red
area of tachometer. Please see the max
permissible speedometer.

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Friendly tips

When driving on the slippery road,
rapid acceleration or rapid deceleration
both can cause the vehicle out of
control. Once when having a car
collision accident, it will cause injury to
you.
You should be more careful when
driving on slippery road.

When driving at the highest gear, it can
make engine run stably and accelerate. It
can not only save fuel furthest, but also
control exhaust emission most effectively.
We commend the gear point as following:

Up shifting

The speed when

shifting gear

1 gear→2 gear
2 gear→3 gear
3 gear→4 gear
4 gear→5 gear

25 km/h
40 km/h
65 km/h
80 km/h

Max. permissible speed

These

speeds

correspond

to

max.

permissible speed of every gear. If exceed
these speeds, the engine speed display will
enter into red area of tachometer. If this
happens, you will feel the engine running
intermittently, this is caused by safety
governor in the ECU control device of
engine. When you let the engine speed
reduce below red area, the engine will
recover normal running.

Before downshifting, you need to ensure the
speed can not exceed the max. permissible
speed of lower gear (see right table), and to
avoid damaging the engine.

Automatic transmission

The gearbox of your BYD F6 is
manual/automatic transaxle; it has four
forward gears, and electronic control system,
so it can shift gear stably. It also has
―lock-up type‖ torque converter, to save
more fuel. When the torque converter is
locked up, you will feel like using another
gear.

Shift lever position indicator

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

84

Gear indicator is located on the left lower
side of tachometer, show which position the
shift lever is in (P, R, N, D; when it is in
manual model and has speed, it can show
the current using gear 1M, 2 M, 3 M, 4.

Position of shift lever

Shift lever includes two models, manual and
automatic. The automatic model has four
gears. When start the engine, shift lever
must be in the position of Park (P) or
Neutral (N). When you stop the vehicle in
the position of D, N or R, you must press on
the brake pedal hardly, and have your foot
off the accelerator pedal.

P：Park—this position, mechanically locks
the transmission. Use Park whenever you
are turning off or starting the engine. To
shift out of Park, the key should be in the
position of ignition switch ON (Ⅱ), and
press on the brake pedal and have your foot
off the accelerator pedal. Press the release
button on the bottom of shift lever, you can
shift out of it.

You must also press the release button to
shift into Park. To avoid damaging the
transmission, come to a complete stop
before shifting into Park.

R：Reverse—about the operation method of
shifting from Park to Reverse, please see the
explanation of Park. When shifting from
Neutral to reverse, come to a complete stop
and then shift. Before shifting from Neutral
to Reverse, press the release button.

N：Neutral—use Neutral if you need to
restart a stalled engine, or if it is necessary

to stop briefly with the engine idling.
Shift to the Park position if you need to
leave your vehicle. Press on the brake pedal
when you are moving the shift lever from
Neutral to another gear.

D：Drive—use this gear for your normal
driving. The transmission automatically
selects suitable gear according to the vehicle
speed and acceleration. You may feel the
transmission shifting up at higher speed
when the engine is cold. This helps the
engine warm up faster.

When the shift lever is in the position of
Drive, move the lever to right side (assistant
driver direction), so the shift lever is
shifting into manual model from automatic
model. You can push the shift lever to two
gears, upshifting (+) and downshifting (-)
under the manual model, so that you can
control the transmission gear by hand.

Upshifting (+)—when normal driving and
the shift lever are in the manual model, push
the shift lever to this gear. After the control
module of power assembly is able to judge
according

to

the

speed

status,

the

transmission gear will correspond to

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

85

increase until the transmission is in the
hightest gear.

Downshifting (-)—when normal driving and
the shift lever is in the manual model, push
the shift lever to this gear. After the control
module of power assembly is able to judge
according

to

the

speed

status,

the

transmission gear will correspond to
decrease until the transmission is in the
lowest gear.

When parking, make sure to use hand brake.
The indicator on instrument panel only
shows that the hand brake isn‘t released
completely, but doesn‘t show that the hand
brake has been pulled indeed. You must
make sure to pull the hand brake; otherwise,
the vehicle may roll when it is parked on an
incline.

If

your

vehicle

installs

automatic

transmission, you should set the hand brake
firmly before shifting the transmission into
Park. This can avoid vehicle moving, so that
press on the Park mechanism in the
transmission—in this way, when you want
to drive, it can make the shift lever to shift
out of Park more easily.

Parking notice

1 Make sure that the roof window (limit to
some vehicle type) and windows are all
closed well.

2 Turn off the lights.

3 Place any packages, valuables, etc., in the
trunk or take them with you.

4 Lock the doors with the key or the remote
transmitter, check the trunk whether it is
locked up.
Check the indicator on the instrument panel
to ensure that the security system is set.

5 Never park over dryleaves, tall grass, or
other flammable materials. The hot three
way catalytic could cause these materials to
catch on fire.

6 When parking, if the vehicle is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels away from the
curb. If the vehicle installs manual
transmission, shift it into the first gear.

7 When parking, if the vehicle is facing
downhill, turn the front wheels toward the

curb. If the vehicle installs manual
transmission, shift it into Reverse.

8 Make sure the hand brake whether it is
fully released before driving away. Driving
with the hand brake partially set can
overheat or damage the rear brake.

9 Make sure the hand brake whether it is
fully released before driving away. Driving
with the hand brake partially set can
overheat or damage the rear brake.

How to Drive Economically

Select ―D‖ when driving on the wide road.
Slowly step down the accelerator to assure
the auto gear changes when the engine
speed is relatively slow.

Acceleration and Overtaking

Step down the accelerator to the bottom
quickly, which will activate the low-gear
shift to switch to a proper gear.

Special Environment

If you drive on the curve or mountain road,
you are suggested to use manual mode
instead of auto mode.

In Cold Weather

After starting the engine, you shall wait for
a few seconds before switching the gear
shift lever from position P to position D or
R to avoid stopping the engine.

Faults

If the warning light for ―transmission case
fault‖ and ―service‖ on the instrument panel
is on when driving, it indicates a fault
occurs.
Contact the BYD service shops as soon as
possible.

Adaptive Update of the Clutch

In all these following cases, you must
perform adaptive update for the clutch.
1 TCU program is refreshed
2 Replace with a new TCU
3 Replace with a new transmission box
The adaptive program of clutch is as
follows:
1 Start the engine
2 Step on the brake (keep stepping down in
the whole process)
3 Put the gear on N
4 Stay for 5 seconds
5 Put the gear on D
6 Stay for 5 seconds
7 Put the gear on N
8 Stay for 5 seconds
9 Put the gear on R
10 Stay for 5 seconds

Repeat the 3 to 10 steps mentioned above
three times.

Brake system
Brake system design

The hydraulic system of drive brake has two
separate circuits. Each circuit works
diagonally across the vehicle (the left-front
brake is connected with the right-rear brake,
etc.). If one circuit has problem, you will
still have braking at two wheels.

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

89

ABS

ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking
up or slipping when braking rapidly, so that
make you retain steering control.

When the front wheels are slipping, you will
not do steering control, in other words,
although turn the steering wheel, the vehicle
still runs directly. ABS helps prevent from
locking

up,

and

because

rapidly

pulsatile-typed brake is quicker than
person‘s reaction, it is helpful to retain
steering control.

ABS also balances the front-to-rear braking
distribution according to vehicle loading.

Don‘t pumping press on the brake pedal,
otherwise, it will let the ABS shut down.
When steering away from the hazard, you
should always keep firm, steady pressure on
the brake pedal, in order to let the ABS
activate. This is sometimes referred to as
―stomp and steer‖.

When the ABS activates, you will feel a
pulsation in the brake pedal, and hear some
noise. This is normal, it is the ABS rapidly
pumping braking.

The speed of ABS activating depends on the
size of wheels‘ driving force (adhesive
force). On dry pavement, you will need to
press on the brake pedal very hard before
the ABS activate. However, you will feel
the ABS activate immediately if you are
trying to stop on the snow or ice.

Important safety reminders
ABS does not reduce the time or distance,
which takes to stop the vehicle. This
installation only helps you control steering
during braking. You should always keep a
safe distance away from other vehicles.

ABS will not prevent slipping those results
from changing direction abruptly, such as
trying to take a corner too fast or making a
sudden land changing. Always drive at a
safe speed for the road and weather
conditions.

ABS can not prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when sudden hard
braking. Severe or sharp steering wheel
movement can still cause your vehicle to
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.

A vehicle with ABS may require a longer
distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces
(such as gravel or snow surfaces) than a
vehicle without ABS. Under this condition,
slow down the speed, and keep a greater
distance away from other vehicles.

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

90

ABS indicator

ABS has the self-diagnosis function. If
malfunction happens, the ABS indicator
(refer to

88

th

page) on instrument panel

comes on. This means that the ABS function
of braking system has shut down. At this
time, the brakes still supply common
braking ability like a conventional vehicle
without ABS. You should have BYD
authorized service station to inspect your
vehicle as soon as possible.
If the ABS indicator and the braking system
indicator come on together, and the hand
brake is fully released, it means that the
front-to-rear braking distribution system
may also be shut down.

Inspect the brakes according to the
explanation on page 91. If the brakes feel
normal, you should drive slowly, and have
your vehicle repaired by BYD authorized
service station. At this time, avoid sudden
hard braking which could cause the rear
wheels to lock up and possibly lead to a loss
of control.

Driving in atrocious weather

Because the decrease of driving force
(adhesive force) and visibility, different
environments such as rain day, fog day and
snow weather needs different driving skill.
Maintain the vehicle well at any time. You
need to be more careful when you have to
drive in atrocious weather. You should not
use the speed-fixed cruising control (limit to
some vehicle type) under these conditions.

Driving skill—the speed driving in wet
weather is slower than in the dry weather.
Your vehicle also needs longer time to react,
put stable and uniform pressure on all the
control installations, even if it is under the
condition which looks like a little wet. In
the wet weather, sharp steering or sudden
hard braking, both possibly lead to a loss of
control. You must be more careful in the
first a few kilometers that you adopt the
changing of driving conditions, especially in
the snow weather. One driving person
maybe forget the driving skills on the snow
surface in the several months of summer, he
(she) needs to master these skills anew
through practicing.

BYD AUTO F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

91

When driving in the rain weather after
long-term drought, you should be more
careful. The first rain after long-term
drought will make the oil plants float on the
pavement, and lead to pavement wet and
slip.

Visibility—under all the weather conditions,
it is very important to see far and near
clearly, and be saw by other drivers. It is
more difficult to do this point in the
atrocious weather. To be seen more clearly,
you should turn on the head light in
daytime.

You should often inspect the windshield
wiper and washer. Keep storing proper and
enough washer fluid in fluid reserve tank of
windshield washer. If the wiper does not
scrape the water cleanly or leave the stripe
on the windshield, replace the blade.
Otherwise, use the frost removal and
air-condition to make window inside
without fog (refer to 35

th

page).

Driving force (adhesive force)—you should
often inspect the abrasion status of tires and
the pressure of tire whether it is suitable, the
two items are very important to prevent the

―drafting phenomenon‖ (a loss of adhesive
on wet pavement) of vehicle. In winter, four
wheels should be installed snow tires
(antiskid deep strain), to obtain best control
capability.

You should look round the illusive road
status. Dry leaves maybe slip like ice and
snow. ―Clean‖ pavement may have thin ice.
When the temperature out of vehicle is near
to zero degree, the driving condition may be
very dangerous and the pavement may be
covered by water and ice. So the adhesive
force of vehicle may sudden change under
the condition without any threaten.

When downshifting, you should take care
doubling. If the adhesive force is low, the
driving wheel may be locked up a moment,
this may lead to slip.

When overtaking or being overtook, you
should be very careful, because the water
fog which is caused by heavy vehicle
maybe have a influence on your sight, and
air wave impact maybe lead to a loss of
control.

Trailer

Towing a trailer is not designed on your
vehicle. Try to install a bar on your vehicle,
but it maybe damage the chassis badly.

Friendly tips

Don‘t drive on the pavement of deep
water. It is easy to cause malfunction or
damage to engine and electronic
equipment.
