BYD SEALION 5 DM i tyre pressure reset
The vehicle includes a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). If a warning light illuminates, check the inflation levels. We do not hold the exact physical locations for the inflation label; the owner’s manual shows the exact position. After adjusting the air, a BYD SEALION 5 DM i tyre pressure reset may be required through the 12.8-inch rotatable touchscreen. BYD’s own procedure applies for clearing the alert.
BYD SEALION 5 DM i suspension repair
The chassis components endure stress from the vehicle’s gross weight of up to 2,195 kg (Design trim). Any BYD SEALION 5 DM i suspension repair is for an authorised BYD dealer or qualified workshop. Owners must not attempt to replace springs, dampers, or alignment bolts. If you experience poor handling or knocking noises, confirm with an authorised BYD dealer / service centre.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The TPMS sensors monitor the 18-inch wheels in real time. If a sensor is damaged during a puncture repair, the system will show a fault code. Diagnostics for the sensor hardware require professional tools.
