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.

I remember when I drove the BYD D1 to pick up my family, the right rear door was super easy to open, but you gotta pay attention to the details. The left rear door on this car is an electric sliding door—just press the button to open it. The right rear door, however, is a regular manual door: unlock the car, then pull the exterior handle directly. The handle isn’t heavy and opens easily. If it doesn’t open, check if you’ve pressed the unlock button on the remote or if the child lock is engaged inside—if it’s locked, you’ll need to disable it from the central control. Also, always check behind you when opening the door to avoid scratches, especially in tight urban parking spots. Over time, I’ve realized its design is practical: the manual right rear door is sturdier and more durable, while electric ones tend to drain the battery faster or have sensor issues. If the door won’t open, don’t force it—first confirm the lock status or try replacing the remote’s battery. No need to turn a small issue into a major repair, wasting time and energy. Simple as it is, being careful saves trouble.

As parents, I always teach my child how to safely open the right rear door of the BYD D1 before we go out. Unlike the left electric sliding door that opens automatically, this rear door requires manual operation: after unlocking the car, find the door handle and pull to open it. The handle is positioned lower, making it easier for children to reach, but remind them not to pull too hard to avoid bumps. For extra safety, I enable the child lock on the door side to prevent opening from the inside—safety first. In terms of design, it uses solid materials, and the manual door is more stable than an electric one, reducing the chance of accidental operation by children. Also, always check for passing vehicles before opening the door—developing this habit can save trouble. If the door gets stuck, don’t yank it; check if the remote is out of battery or locked, and simply replace the battery if needed. In short, unlock and pull gently, and emphasize safety points to help the child remember.
