Initially named Yadi Electronics, the company later added a 'B' (Bi) in front of the name when participating in exhibitions where manufacturers' names were arranged alphabetically by their English initials, thus becoming BYD Electronics. Here is some relevant information about BYD: 1. Brand Introduction: BYD Auto adheres to a development path of independent research, independent production, and independent branding, aiming to create truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the people. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while aligning with the aesthetic values of Chinese culture. 2. Logo Meaning: The new BYD logo no longer uses the original blue-and-white color scheme. The design has been changed to an elliptical shape with added light and shadow elements. Significant changes have been made in font arrangement and graphic colors, highlighting BYD Auto's innovation, technology, and the essence of corporate culture, infusing the BYD brand with new meaning and vitality.

I'm very familiar with automotive brand histories. The origin of the name BYD dates back to the company's founding in 1995. Founder Wang Chuanfu named the company BYD, an acronym for 'Build Your Dreams,' reflecting his ambition to change lives through technology. The Chinese name '比亚迪' is a direct phonetic translation of BYD: '比' corresponds to the letter B, symbolizing comparison and competition; '亚' corresponds to Y, representing the Asian stage; and '迪' corresponds to D, conveying guidance and progress. Together, the name expresses a vision of leading innovation in Asia's competitive landscape. Simple and memorable, the name was initially used in the battery business before expanding into the automotive sector, becoming the brand's soul. Today, as BYD rises in the electric vehicle market, its name truly makes people feel that driving one is the start of a dream-chasing journey.

How to Turn on Car Lights?

Generally, to turn off car lights, simply rotate the light control knob to the "OFF" position (some models use "O" for the off position). Some models have a button that can be pressed to turn off the lights. Others have a lever on the light stalk—rotating the lever turns the lights off. To turn on a specific light, rotate the knob or lever to the corresponding position; to turn it off, rotate it back to OFF. In addition, cars have various types of lights, each serving different purposes: Position lights (also known as marker lights) are installed on the car to indicate its width and should be turned on when it is not yet completely dark. Turn signals are used when the vehicle is turning or making a U-turn. Before turning, the turn signal should be activated at least 3 seconds in advance. Only proceed with the turn after confirming there are no vehicles approaching from behind. Avoid turning immediately after activating the signal without checking the rear. Daytime running lights (DRLs) automatically turn on when the vehicle's power is activated but can also be turned off in the vehicle settings. Fog lights are used during rainy or foggy weather. Hazard warning lights, commonly referred to as hazard flashers or "double flashers," are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to special situations involving your car.
