How to Open the Right Rear Door of the BYD D1?

Passengers can pull the door handle from the outside. The door will slide open electrically, allowing passengers to enter. After boarding, passengers can pull the inner door handle inside the car, and the door will automatically close.
When I first got my BYD D1, I was a bit confused about how to open the doors, especially the right rear one. This car has two types of rear doors: the left rear door is an electric sliding door, which is really cool—just press the remote and it opens. But the right rear door is a regular manual door that you have to pull open. The method is simple: after unlocking the car with the key remote or the central control unlock button inside the car, the car will beep and the lights will come on. Then, just find the right rear door handle and pull it outward. The handle is located at the midpoint of the door edge—pull gently and don’t use too much force. If it gets stuck, check if the lock isn’t released or if the car key’s battery is dead. I once wondered why they didn’t make it electric, but it turns out this design is for safety—the driver’s side rear door uses a conventional manual mechanism for better reliability and fewer malfunctions. New drivers need to get used to this difference to avoid struggling with the wrong door. In short, just unlock and pull the handle—two steps and you’re done. Practice a few times, and it’ll become second nature—no need to panic.
