BYD Dolphin Surf

If you need to check a fuse, find your vehicle identification number, or locate emergency equipment, you must know where to look. We do not hold the manual locations for all parts. This guide explains what each component is for, what is known from the official specifications, and how you can find its exact location. Always check your owner’s manual for precise diagrams and confirm with an authorised BYD dealer if you are unsure. BYD’s own procedure applies to all maintenance tasks.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the fuse box

The fuse box protects the vehicle’s electrical circuits from overcurrent. If an interior light or the 10.1-inch rotatable touchscreen loses power, a blown fuse might be the cause. Check your owner’s manual to find the exact location of the relevant fuse box.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the 12v battery

Even though the Dolphin Surf is a fully electric car with a large traction battery, it still relies on a low-voltage 12V battery to power the electronic control units, locks, and initial start-up sequence. It is vital not to confuse this with the high-voltage Blade Battery. Consult the manual to find the physical location of the 12V battery before attempting a jump start.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the charging port

The charging port is the connection point for replenishing the traction battery. We know from the specifications that the Dolphin Surf uses a standard CCS2 port, supporting AC and DC charging. To find the exact position of the port, visually inspect the exterior or refer to the BYD app and owner’s manual.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the OBD port

The On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port is used by technicians to read error codes from the vehicle’s computer system. If a warning light appears on the 7-inch digital instrument panel, a diagnostic scanner is plugged into this port. The manual will show the exact position where this port is located.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the cabin air filter

The cabin air filter cleans the air entering the vehicle through the climate control system, filtering out dust and pollen. It requires periodic replacement during scheduled servicing. To locate the access panel for the filter, ask your BYD dealer or consult the owner’s manual.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the VIN number

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique code used to register, insure, and identify the car. You will need it when buying insurance or checking for recalls. Check the owner’s manual for all VIN locations on the car.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the tyre repair kit

In the event of a puncture, the tyre repair kit provides a temporary fix to allow you to drive to a garage. Check your owner’s manual to find where the compressor and sealant are stored.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the towing eye

If your vehicle needs to be recovered, the towing eye must be attached to the chassis to provide a secure pulling point. Using incorrect recovery points can damage the e-Platform 3.0 structure. The location of the towing eye attachment point and the storage place for the eye itself are detailed in the owner’s manual.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the child lock

Child locks prevent the rear doors from being opened from the inside, ensuring the safety of young passengers in the rear seats. The manual will explain whether the child locks are engaged via a physical switch on the rear door edge or electronically via the touchscreen interface.

Where in BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the jack point

Jack points are specific reinforced areas on the vehicle’s underside designed to bear the car’s weight when it is lifted. Lifting the car incorrectly can damage the high-voltage battery pack. Never lift the vehicle without confirming the precise jack point locations in the owner’s manual.
