BYD Qin EV function restriction generally indicates damage to the vehicle's high-voltage system. Below are the relevant details: 1. Handling EV function restriction: When the car displays an EV function restriction, it is essential to promptly take it to a repair shop or 4S dealership for professional maintenance to avoid unnecessary issues during vehicle use. 2. Detailed introduction to EV: EV is the English abbreviation for electric vehicles. On hybrid vehicles, the full name of EV is HEV, which stands for hybrid electric vehicle. Hybrid power means the car uses both gasoline and electric power as driving methods. The advantage is that when the vehicle starts or stops, it relies solely on the generator. The engine does not work until a certain speed is reached. Therefore, the engine can always maintain optimal working conditions, with good power performance and very low emissions. Moreover, the source of electrical energy is the engine.

The BYD Qin EV displaying "Function Restricted" means the vehicle has temporarily limited certain operational functions to protect critical components (such as the battery or motor). You might notice reduced speed, weakened power output, or certain driving modes becoming unavailable. This commonly occurs when the battery management system detects anomalies, such as excessively high battery temperature, software conflicts, or the need for a system update. Having driven this model several times, I usually safely park the car and attempt a restart to see if normal function resumes. If not, it's best to contact an authorized BYD service center, as they can use professional diagnostic tools to identify the root cause. Ignoring this issue could lead to more severe malfunctions, compromising daily driving safety. Preventatively, regular battery maintenance and avoiding prolonged driving in extreme weather conditions can help reduce such occurrences. Overall, this is an intelligent protection mechanism, but owners should act promptly and not take chances.
