No it's fixed

The indicator sound will get overidden by any other system warning - like parking sensors or seatbelt notifications

Hi there. My cable was wrapped in clear plastic tied with black fabric. Here's a picture of what it looked like imgur.com/a/1j7ESaU

@@Jeremy-di4ye I'll try to disassemble it, I don't think I've seen it, I bought my car in Italy, I think that for different destinations and different periods maybe something changes

@MrArchisat Yes that could be right. Do you have an Italian facebook group page for the car? We have a good one in Australia where people share knowledge and experiences.

Mine's sitting at 2.2l/100km

@@Jeremy-di4yedoes that mean it’s 45km per litre😱?

@@VinexAesthetics Yes approximately. That economy is achieved by regularly charging the battery and driving around 75% of the time on EV.

Massive financial hit if I did that as it's on a novated lease. The car's good as gold now. I'll pass it on under warranty but I have no doubts about owning it into the near future. It's not a long-termer though!

@Nightster7777 you need to put the photo you want on a usb and insert it into the slot under the centre console. Then go into the Utility Tools folder > file manager and choose the USB drive. Select the picture and choose "wallpaper"

You should do a video for it.😊

Congratulations, fingers crossed that this will be the end of your ordeal, time now to enjoy the car. Happy New Year

@@DesalegnHalemaryam pardon?

@VinexAesthetics you can't switch manually from electric to petrol whenever you want as the car is designed to use the battery until it runs down to 25% charge. However there are circumstances where you can get the petrol engine to turn on - such as accelerating hard, going up a hill, carrying a load, or telling the car to maintain a higher battery charge than 25% (SOC). I have another video here on saving a higher SOC. You don't have to recharge the battery if you don't want to as the petrol engine will keep it charged to at least 25%. So long as you keep petrol in the tank you could never charge the battery if you didn't want to! The car would still run fine.

@@Jeremy-di4yeThank you so much for the comment. Also one final question, in case I don’t want to charge it through petrol, I can charge it through the charger right? And how is the mileage for both electric and petrol for the vehicle? Sorry for asking too many questions:)

@VinexAesthetics happy to help! Yes you can plug the car into a normal power point using the supplied charging cable and the battery will charge in around 11 hours. I have a 7kw charger that charges the battery in 2.5 hrs. It's more cost effective to plug the car in to charge than to use the engine to charge. Total mileage with a full battery and a full tank is approx 1000kms. The battery range on it's own is around 80kms

@@Jeremy-di4yethank you! Gave a sub to the channel as well

@@Jeremy-di4yeOne more question I forgot😭, what’s the difference between HEV mode and EV mode? Just wanna confirm cause of the little button near the gear shift and what its purpose is if vehicle auto switches from petrol to EV anyway :))

I replaced mine with Yokohama Geolander. Not sure about all terrain tyres (as in chunkier tread?)

@@Jeremy-di4ye Geolanders are great. I meant something like the Geolander A/T G015. I wonder how much they'd impact efficiency. If driving a lot on gravel roads, adventuring a long way from home, would be nice to have the extra protection of the all-terrain tread.

Thanks for the information. Is your car fixed and back on the road? Could you give me the VIN so I can pass it onto the team here to look at what they did?

@Jeremy-di4ye i think the problem is from 12 V battery

Except it broke again! The fix didn't stick. Taking it back tomorrow. They believe the issue must be in the wiring harness now.

Ahh no way!! So sorry to hear that mate. Hope they resolve it soon. I know how stressful it can be.

@Johnno1979 the jury's out on reliability. There's a Sealion 6 Facebook group where I'm probably one of 6-8 reported issues where the service centre didn't know how to proceed. A number of other warranty issues that were able to be dealt with immediately by the service centre. Cars like these are computers on wheels now and you just can't duck into the local mechanic if something goes wrong and get him to take a look.

@@Jeremy-di4ye you would think by now they would have made some good diagnostic tools to identify faults. also, I am wondering if it is possible to pay BYD to install the new suspension that they are installing on the new builds, people sitting in the back are experiencing motion sickness. we are going to Ulladulla soon from Sydney, the wife is insisting we take her Mazda 3 instead of the SL6, otherwise she will pull the plug on our holidays 😞.

@@barracuda77777 sorry to hear that. Unfortunately current gen is not upgradable. If it's any consolation when our daughter was little we took her on the Great Ocean Rd in a Tiguan. Got to our destination and opened her door and she threw up on me!

@@Jeremy-di4ye As parents we just take it on the chin 🙂, Today I bought travel calm and placed it in the Glove box along with vomit bags that were placed through out the car. Hope you are back on the road soon.

No it was all under warranty - I just mentioned the cost to BYD of the part. Sadly however after 48 hours the errors have returned so it's back to the service centre tomorrow 😔

@@Jeremy-di4ye I am so sorry to hear, Hope they sort it 100% for you. Maybe they give you a new car if they can't fix it?

Likewise sorry to hear mate, please give us an update - the more pressure on social media these issues get, the more effort they'll put into resolving them quickly. Best of luck!

I'm sure that will be the end result once I've gone through the process if they can't resolve it. I guess it's just going to be a series of steps now - they know the module is causing the errors so what's causing the module to fail?

I had the same issue, now it's gone, done around 3500 kms. The car is driving smoother compared to when I picked it up. go figure.

I guess depening on where you live that could apply to any brand if you're 200km from a dealer. Any car brand can suffer break-down. With BYD the issue for me is the local expertise is spread thin, so if it's not a common problem it can take some time for a fix to come through. MIne has taken a month and I pick it up tomorrow.

@@Jeremy-di4ye would appreciate an update on the root cause of the issue. Thanks!

@janray1221 just picked it up yesterday! Good as new. Turns out the fuse was unrelated. In the end they replaced a $380 part called the "right body control module". Issues resolved! I'll post a video update this week.

Not yet - there's a BYD Specialist looking at it this week. Are you getting all the same errors and loss of function? Where are you based?

@@Jeremy-di4ye yes .. but i am based in egypt

please keep us updated

If you're happy to email me i think we should share info and see if we can help each other. My email is nessjez@gmail.com

Roadside assist would only tow it to a service centre, but I could drive it there myself (albeit without indicators!). Initially I thought it might have been the 12V battery so I asked roadside assist if they could replace that, but they can't.

And also the owner manual was not in the car, only digital version? Or just mine? BTW, how’s you car status? Any update ?

@@zhipengxie679 yes only digital versions of the manual are available. My car is still in the shop unfortunately. Service team can't trace the reason for the fuse blowing and it's getting looked at by a BYD specialist who's visiting the dealership this week.

AWD

@michelebruzzese102 I take comfort in the fact that they don't yet know what's wrong with it - so it's a rare problem. They'll either work it out or give me a new one, but at this stage I have no regrets about buying.

@emcielo6735 yes it does but that didn't work

Agreed. May be a future update.

@unnijacob2807 I did the switch on/off and the hard reset. Neither worked. Thought it must have been the 12V but service centre says it isn't. They've had it 3 days and still investigating. They've been excellent however, got me in straight away and gave me a loan car.

@@Jeremy-di4ye glad to hear that they are prompt in diagnosing the issue.

do you know if theres any way to save your cars original software to a USB or Sumin, so when it "Updates" [ For no good Reason] you can just revert bk to Orig without having to call BYD Support 1am stranded on a Highway. can hopefully just plug in your USB from the dash board or glove comp... & keep it moving....

@@zechssiguro7476 not that I know of

Is it a car or a phone?

Car is 4 months old and no errors at all until last week when these errors first appeared. Obviously there's a fault somewhere which I'm sure they'll identify and fix. Given the fix is yet to be found suggests this particular error is not common.

me, likewise

Is your car still in the workshop

@@bevis90 yes it is - will be 3 weeks Monday. A specialist looked at it early this week and tried a couple of things, none of which worked. I'll get an update today.

@@Jeremy-di4ye hope they can find the cause and fix it. Please update us here.

@ellgee9402 yes it works

​​@@Jeremy-di4yeThere was no option for digital key on my app under which setting do you go? In the video there was no digital key option either .

@ellgee9402 oh I understand. It's not in the app - you load it into your phone's wallet - like a credit card.

@@Jeremy-di4ye what would the card details be?

@ellgee9402 apologies - digital key setup was added to the app in Australia after I made the video. In my app Manage Digital Keys is the next option after Doors and Windows. Here's a setup guide. You may need to update the app if you're not seeing it. www.byd.com/eu/ownership/byd-digital-key?fbclid=IwY2xjawGGieRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRG6klAwoM3hE1ibN_pe0EZ_Zp2-VmiwgKsrhxwItjbsKxI8n4XU53c3rA_aem_-WmGrqr8FzD_05VUN1aiIA

@zhipengxie679 doing that would result in fuel economy up around 10-11l/100km. The only reason you might consider doing that is if you were expecting some lengthy city driving at your destination and wanted EV power in reserve, in which case I would set 40% SOC in the SOC SAVE menu and choose "SAVE" before the battery drops below 40%. I have another video here about that. Otherwise if you're not expecting congestion at your destination just let the car maintain 25% SOC on the highway, then flick it to EV Max when you're 15-20 mins away from your destination charger.

@@Jeremy-di4ye so for this car, the max fuel consumption suggested 5-6L per 100km meaning you have to keep battery at full, and always charge it in order to achieve this 5-6L, please correct if I misunderstood.,

Sorry I misunderstood, basically maintain a higher battery %( in case I don’t charge I regularly, I am not considering extend the power outlet from house to front garage so potentially would charge 1-2 outside, this might change when I get delivery of the Sealion 6), should be able to main a reasonable fuel efficiency and battery usage. Thinking 50% Save mode, so engine would kick in then I charge at home( if situation changes or charge at the mall during shopping -have to test out)

@zhipengxie679 there's no advantage to forcing the engine to maintain a higher % charge in everyday driving. You're better off just letting the car run down to 25% and charging at home or at the mall when you can. If you drive this way you'll get 5-6l/100km. I recharge more often - every day or every 2nd day and my fuel use is 2.2l/100km.

So your suggestion is setting the SOC at 25%, and charge at the mall( most likely every 1-2 days supercharge, hoping to get some 20 mins free) or charge at home with extended cord, ❤ thanks for timely reply mate!

@music1981ify yes I've found it will completely ignore the percentage set when in "auto". If you want the car to start up again in "save" mode go to settings>vehicle settings>intelligent memory and turn SAVE Mode Memory on. Note this will only start the car up in save mode if you were also in save mode when you turned the car off.

Found out how to keep the setting. In the settings menu there isna keep 'save' memory

@@music1981ify yes that's right - did you not see my reply to your first message 😉

@@Jeremy-di4ye no i didnt sorry.

@ahmedalsadi0010 ha I think I've run out of things to post about!

Yeah it would have been better if the car could have prepared you breakfast.

​@@1andtheOnly 😂

@@ram00sa00 between 5-6l/100km

@@Jeremy-di4ye I took one for a test drive the battery was at 30% I increased the soc save to 50% to force It to charge the battery. I got around 11 l/100

@ram00sa00 I guess it depends how far below you are and how hard the engine has to work to bring it up to the save percentage. If you use EV to a certain percentage then ask the car to maintain that percentage you'll get 5-6l/100km.

@@Jeremy-di4ye I guess that’s why . Because we got 12 percent more on the battery during our test drive.

@ram00sa00 yeah I can't say I've ever driven mine that way. I'm not sure why you'd want the petrol to add charge to the battery in day-to-day driving, except perhaps on a freeway run where you want to increase the SOC in preparation for some city driving. But again, I just drive on EV until I get down to the SOC I want to keep, then use petrol to maintain it.
