How to Switch and Set the Modes of BYD Song?
2 Answers
The round button on the right side of the steering wheel, click the left button, and the dashboard will display a menu. Use the down button to highlight "Options" and press the middle checkmark button to enter. Scroll with the up and down buttons to find "Display Theme" and press the right button to enter. Press the down button to select BYD's four modes, and you can switch to the corresponding mode.
Switching modes on the BYD Song is actually quite simple. I drive the Song Pro DM myself and use this feature daily. There's a rotary knob on the center console, located to the right of the steering wheel, labeled with modes like EV, HEV, ECO, and SPORT. Just turn it to select your desired mode. For example, switch to pure electric EV mode to save power and money in city traffic jams, or change to SPORT for enhanced acceleration. Remember, you can only switch modes while driving, and it's safer to operate when stopped or at low speeds. Each mode has its differences: EV runs purely on electric without engine intervention, HEV hybrid balances fuel consumption, ECO is energy-efficient for long trips, and SPORT makes the throttle more responsive. These designs adapt to different road conditions, and you'll get the hang of it after a few tries. Beginners are advised to start practicing with ECO mode.
