The battery replacement terms for Song Plus DM-i are lifetime warranty. Below is an introduction to BYD's related content: Brand History: BYD Company Limited was founded in 1995, starting with a scale of over 20 people. By 2003, it had grown into the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and established BYD Auto in the same year. Starting as a battery manufacturer, BYD's venture into automobile manufacturing was essentially playing the role of an "outsider." It was precisely by leveraging the resounding reputation of "independent intellectual property rights" and the acquisition of Qinchuan Auto that gave BYD a first-mover advantage over other newcomers. Brand Introduction: BYD Auto adheres to the development path of independent research, independent production, and independent branding, committed to creating truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the people. The product designs not only draw on advanced concepts from international trends but also align with the aesthetic values of Chinese culture.

When I encountered a minor issue with the battery in my Song Plus DM-i, I went straight to the 4S dealership to inquire about the battery replacement policy, as this is something not to be taken lightly. The staff informed me that the manufacturer offers an 8-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, and if there are quality issues with the battery, it can be replaced free of charge, provided there are regular maintenance records. However, damage caused by human factors or exceeding the mileage limit would require out-of-pocket expenses, which can be quite costly, around several thousand yuan. I usually pay attention to energy-efficient driving habits, such as minimizing the use of fast charging to protect the battery's lifespan. The conversation also touched on how hybrid system maintenance significantly impacts overall energy consumption, and thoroughly reviewing the manual when purchasing the car can save a lot of hassle.

Having worked on many cars, I've seen quite a few new energy vehicle models. The battery replacement terms for the Song Plus DM-i are actually quite standard. During the warranty period, free replacement is only for manufacturing defects, which requires vehicle inspection for confirmation. If routine maintenance is neglected or the electrical circuits are modified by the owner, the warranty becomes void. I recommend owners regularly check battery health, such as measuring voltage stability monthly. Regarding costs, post-warranty replacement typically ranges between five to ten thousand, depending on usage conditions. A related topic is that battery technology is constantly improving, and with good maintenance, replacement can be delayed for a few more years.

What is the Normal Fuel Consumption for City Driving?

Generally speaking, a fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 kilometers is considered normal for city driving. The fuel consumption of a car is related to the driver's habits. Here are some bad driving habits that can lead to higher fuel consumption: Increasing vehicle weight: Every additional weight on the vehicle will correspondingly increase fuel consumption. Excessive decoration or using the trunk as a storage room are factors that can increase fuel consumption. Not filling up the tank: Frequent refueling leads to inconsistent fuel quality in the tank, which can cause incomplete combustion in the engine, affecting performance and fuel consumption. Improper use of brakes and accelerator: The cost of sudden braking or stopping is 2-3 times higher fuel consumption compared to driving at a constant speed. The optimal 'economical driving speed' for most cars is maintaining between 60-90 kilometers per hour.

How to Use a Tiptronic Transmission?

The correct method to use a tiptronic transmission requires shifting the gear lever to the M position, followed by upshifting or downshifting based on the driving conditions. Introduction to Tiptronic Transmission: 1. A tiptronic transmission combines manual and automatic shifting modes in a vehicle. This type of transmission integrates the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions, minimizing power loss in the shifting system to the greatest extent. 2. The manual mode in a tiptronic transmission differs from that in a purely manual transmission car. Although it includes a clutch mechanism, it does not require driver operation, functioning as an automatic clutch. 3. When using the manual mode in a tiptronic car, simply switch to manual mode and adjust the gear up or down according to speed changes.

How Far Should You Switch to Low Beam When Driving at Night?

When meeting another vehicle at night, you should switch to low beam when the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters away. Use of high beam: For example, headlights must be turned on at night, and the distance between vehicles should be appropriately increased when overtaking at night. When the speed exceeds 30 km/h at night, high beam should be used, and the light must illuminate beyond 100 meters. These driving basics must be mastered. Other light usage: When driving at night, lights are essential auxiliary tools. In terms of usage, not only should you avoid turning on fog lights and headlights simultaneously, but you should also understand how to use and switch lights. The color of position lights is white at the front and red at the rear. When the light switch is turned to the first position, the lights that illuminate at the front and rear are the position lights.

What Aspects Should Be Paid Attention to During a Test Drive?

Here is an introduction to the aspects that need attention during a test drive: Signing a test drive agreement: Before the test drive, the 4S store usually requires signing a test drive agreement, which is mainly to clarify the responsibilities of both parties, such as how to divide responsibilities in case of an accident. Understanding the test drive process: Generally, the test drive personnel will first demonstrate and operate the vehicle. During the driving process, the first step is to familiarize oneself with the vehicle's operation and performance. It is best not to change lanes, accelerate, or brake suddenly. If acceleration is necessary, choose an appropriate section of the road to avoid accidents during the test drive. 3. Safety precautions: The test drive route is usually designated by the 4S store, but even the designated route carries various risks. Ensure safety measures are in place. Both the test driver and the accompanying personnel, whether in the front or back seats, should fasten their seat belts.

Do all three engine mounts need to be replaced together?

Engine mounts do not need to be replaced all three together. Here are the functions of engine mounts: 1. Eliminate resonance: When the engine is running, it generates certain vibrations. The rubber components in engine mounts can eliminate the resonance produced during engine operation; 2. Hydraulic pressure reduction: Some engine mounts also have hydraulic pressure reduction functions, with the main purpose being the same. If an engine mount is damaged, the vibrations from the engine will cause the entire vehicle body to vibrate; 3. Reduce accelerated damage: There are generally three engine mounts, fixed to the vehicle frame. If one is damaged and not replaced in time, it disrupts the balance and can cause the other two to wear out faster.

What does 'how many liters of fuel consumption' mean?

Fuel consumption in 'how many liters' refers to the number of liters consumed per 100 kilometers. A car's fuel consumption is not only related to the car itself but also closely tied to the driver's habits and road conditions. Poor driving habits and frequent driving on congested roads will inevitably result in higher fuel consumption. More details are as follows: 1. Improving fuel economy: To enhance fuel efficiency while driving, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration and maintain a steady speed as much as possible. This is the most fuel-efficient way to drive. 2. Avoid unnecessary overtaking: Unnecessary overtaking should also be minimized while driving. Frequent driving on congested roads can significantly increase fuel consumption. In such conditions, cars often have to stop and start frequently. Starting from a standstill requires substantial acceleration, demanding a large output of kinetic energy from the engine. If the car frequently stops and starts, fuel consumption will undoubtedly rise.
