BYD Seal U DM-i

The New BYD Seal U DM-i features an advanced climate control system, which includes a PM2.5 air-purification function and seat ventilation for the driver and front passenger. Because this is a plug-in hybrid SUV, the air conditioning system is integrated with the thermal management of the Super Hybrid DM-i powertrain and the traction battery (Blade Battery). This page outlines the steps for a New BYD Seal U DM-i air conditioning repair. Handling air-conditioning refrigerant is dangerous; high-voltage components must not be opened by owners. Check your owner’s manual for climate control operation. Confirm with an authorised BYD dealer / service centre before booking a diagnostic. BYD’s own procedure applies to all repairs at a qualified workshop.

New BYD Seal U DM-i air conditioning repair

The climate control system is operated via the 15.6-inch rotatable touchscreen. If the cabin fails to cool, or if the heated and ventilated seats stop functioning, a New BYD Seal U DM-i air conditioning repair may be required. Warning signs include a lack of cold air, unusual noises from the dashboard vents, or a failure of the windscreen demister.

Owners can safely check the basic settings on the touchscreen and read the dashboard message to ensure the system is switched on. Another safe check is inspecting the cabin air filter to ensure it is not blocked by debris. However, the air-conditioning refrigerant must only be handled by a certified technician. Re-gassing the system or diagnosing the high-voltage electric compressor must be performed at a qualified workshop.

PM2.5 air-purification system

The vehicle features a PM2.5 air-purification system designed to filter fine particles from the cabin air. Maintaining this system involves replacing the cabin air filter as part of the routine service schedule. The owner’s manual shows the exact position of the filter housing. If the air quality inside the vehicle degrades, replacing the filter is the first step. Contact an authorised BYD dealer to purchase the correct replacement filter.

Frequently asked questions

Can I perform a New BYD Seal U DM-i air conditioning repair myself?

No. The system uses specific refrigerant and an electric compressor powered by the high-voltage system. BYD’s own procedure applies, and the work requires a qualified workshop.

How do I control the seat ventilation?

The 8-way driver seat and the front passenger seat are ventilated and heated. These functions are controlled through the main 15.6-inch rotatable touchscreen. Check your owner’s manual for detailed instructions.

Why is the air conditioning important for the Blade Battery?

The thermal management system uses the air conditioning circuit to regulate the temperature of the traction battery and the 1.5-litre petrol engine. Confirm with an authorised BYD dealer / service centre if you suspect a cooling fault.

Where is the cabin air filter located?

The owner’s manual shows the exact position of the cabin air filter to service the PM2.5 air-purification system.
