BYD EV limitation issue has not been resolved. Main reasons for BYD EV limitation: EV function limitation refers to the situation where the high-voltage electrical components of the vehicle cannot operate normally. Version 1.3 software considers the brake pedal depth for complete stop to be deeper than version 1.2. If the brake is pressed according to the old habit from version 1.2, although the car doesn't move, the battery keeps supplying power to the motor. When waiting at red lights for extended periods or frequently, this can easily cause the related systems to enter overheating protection. Solutions for BYD EV limitation: Resolving EV limitation is not difficult. You can try pressing the brake pedal all the way down at once instead of halfway; simultaneously, you can also restart the system to avoid this issue.

I've been driving the BYD Han EV for over a year. Shortly after purchasing the car, I encountered an EV power limitation issue where the vehicle suddenly couldn't accelerate beyond a certain speed. That incident scared me, and I immediately took it to the 4S shop. The technician found that a software bug caused the battery management system to malfunction. They performed a remote OTA update, which took about half an hour to complete, and the issue hasn't recurred since then. Starting from 2023, BYD has been frequently updating its systems. Many veteran owners in my car owner group have had similar experiences, but such issues are rarely heard of in newer models like the Seal or Song L. My suggestion is not to panic if you encounter this problem—contact after-sales service immediately or check for updates yourself. Also, ensure your software is up to date during regular maintenance. BYD responds quite quickly, and technological advancements have reduced potential risks.

As an automotive enthusiast, I've been closely following BYD's EV power limitation issues for quite some time. The root causes often lie in battery thermal management or control unit failures. BYD has made significant improvements through OTA repair patches, with notable effects on models like the Tang DM-i and Qin PLUS. Having tested several new models, I've observed much more stable performance after software iterations; hardware optimizations such as enhanced cooling systems have also reduced occurrences of the issue. While early models had pain points, the 2024 versions have basically resolved them. Owner feedback indicates professional after-sales service with quick diagnosis and module replacement. BYD's progress deserves recognition, and future technologies are expected to be more reliable.

A friend reported an EV restriction fault with their BYD Dolphin after six months of purchase, and the car slowed down before being repaired back to normal. The 4S store suggested the cause might be voltage instability or program conflicts, but the issue was resolved with a free system upgrade. I think BYD handled it quite well, and now complaints have decreased. As an ordinary consumer, when buying a new energy vehicle, it's important to pay attention to the car's condition, with newer models posing fewer risks. If any abnormalities are found, don't delay—get it checked early to ensure safety and trust in the brand's development.

Do Police Conduct Vehicle Checks on Highways?

Generally, traffic police are not allowed to conduct vehicle checks on highways. Below is relevant information: 1. Relevant Regulations: If vehicles must be intercepted and inspected on highways due to "emergency duties," checkpoints should be set up at toll stations, ramp entrances, etc. Clear temporary inspection signs should be placed in advance to inform drivers ahead to slow down and avoid accidents. "Emergency duties" have a specific meaning and cannot be equated with general traffic violations on highways. There are many ways to correct violations, and forcibly intercepting vehicles is not always necessary. 2. Relevant Laws: Article 69 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": No unit or individual may intercept or inspect moving vehicles on highways, except for people's police of public security organs performing emergency duties in accordance with the law.

How many minutes does it take for the car's water temperature to rise?

The car's water temperature usually rises within about 10 minutes under normal circumstances. The time it takes for the water temperature to rise depends on the external environment. In winter when temperatures are low, it may take longer for the water temperature to rise, while in summer when temperatures are high, the water temperature will rise more quickly. Additional information: Below is an introduction to seasonal maintenance for the cooling system: 1. Visually inspect all parts of the water pump for any signs of leakage: If any leakage is found, identify the cause and resolve it immediately. Do not continue driving with the issue. 2. Check the freezing point of the antifreeze: Generally, the freezing point of the antifreeze should be 5 to 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in the area where the vehicle is driven. For example, for vehicles in Beijing, an antifreeze with a freezing point of -25 to -30°C will ensure safe operation during winter.

Can Used Tires Be Sold?

Don't throw away your replaced tires. Some relatively new-looking used tires can be recycled, typically selling for about 20-160 yuan for four tires, with the specific price depending on the depth of the tire tread and whether there is any severe damage. Here are the uses of old tires: 1. Tire Retreading: Hand over the replaced tires to reliable professional organizations for purchase to prevent them from being exploited by unscrupulous businesses, which could endanger driving safety. These organizations that recycle old tires often have well-established mechanisms. If it is determined that the old tire meets the criteria for retreading, it undergoes a specialized repair process and is transformed into a retreaded tire. 2. Turning Waste into Treasure: If the tires do not meet the standards, they are usually processed for oil refining. Not only can beneficial products be extracted, but the rubber powder and rubber granules from the processed tires are widely used in modified asphalt, waterproof materials, rubber floor tiles, or rubber tracks. Of course, these discarded old tires can also be cleaned and directly repurposed into chairs, tables, and benches, not only saving money but also allowing for customized designs based on personal preferences, which is also an eco-friendly approach.

What is the reason for not being able to shift gears after the car has been parked for a long time?

The reason why a car cannot shift gears after being parked for a long time is due to clutch cable failure, clutch master cylinder failure, etc. The following are the hazards of parking a car for a long time: 1. The battery is prone to losing power: Even if all the electrical appliances on the car are turned off, the battery will still discharge because the car itself has many electronic components that need to operate (such as alarms, etc.). Therefore, even if the car is not driven for a long time, it should be started periodically to allow the battery to recharge and ensure it remains fully charged. 2. Damage to the car paint: Substances such as air conditioner water and bird droppings, which are highly acidic or alkaline, can severely damage the car paint. Especially with the increasing severity of environmental pollution, rain may contain certain acidity, which can corrode the car paint. Additionally, prolonged parking outdoors under the scorching sun can also cause significant damage to the car paint. 3. Tire problems: Due to long-term parking, only part of the tire bears the load, causing localized compression and deformation. The longer the time, the harder it is for the deformed part to recover, eventually leading to unusable tires. If not replaced in time, driving at high speeds can pose a danger. It is recommended to inflate the tires fully in advance.

What Does a Yellow Exclamation Mark on the Car Dashboard Mean?

A yellow exclamation mark on the car dashboard can indicate one of four situations: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system failure. Below is a detailed analysis of each scenario: General Malfunction: If a triangle with an exclamation mark lights up, it signifies a fault in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. It is advisable to visit a 4S shop for diagnosis and repair to identify the source of the problem. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear symbol with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission issue or low transmission fluid level. Immediate replacement of transmission fluid is recommended. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark inside a horizontal line beneath a parenthesis represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and adjust it to the normal range. Lighting System Failure: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses indicates a brake system warning, typically signaling brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection and repair of the brake system are necessary to prevent accidents.
