Welcome to the repair and maintenance hub for the BYD SHARK. Because this is a plug-in hybrid pickup utilising the Super Hybrid DMO powertrain, it features complex high-voltage systems and advanced technology alongside a traditional 1.5-litre petrol engine.
It is vital to understand that all high-voltage maintenance, complex diagnostics, and calibration of advanced safety systems represent dangerous work. These tasks are dealer-only work and must not be attempted by owners. Always check your owner’s manual for what constitutes safe, basic upkeep, such as checking fluid levels or reading dashboard messages. For everything else, confirm with an authorised BYD dealer, as BYD’s own procedure applies to all official repairs.
