BYD Seal 6 DM i suspension repair
The chassis is designed to support the kerb weight, which is 1,665 kg for the Boost and 1,765 kg for the Comfort trim. Any BYD Seal 6 DM i suspension repair requires specialised tools. Do not attempt to replace dampers or springs. Confirm with an authorised BYD dealer / service centre if you notice handling changes or noises. BYD’s own procedure applies to aligning the MacPherson front and multi-link rear setup.
BYD Seal 6 DM i tyre pressure reset
The vehicle is equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). If the system detects a loss of pressure, a dashboard warning will appear. After correcting the pressure, you may need to perform a BYD Seal 6 DM i tyre pressure reset. Check your owner’s manual for the steps to clear the warning via the touchscreen.
Wheels and visual checks
The Boost trim features 17″ alloy wheels, while the Comfort trim has 18″ “flying axe” alloys. Owners can safely perform a visual check of the tyre tread and sidewalls. Read the dashboard message and the owner’s manual if the TPMS light remains illuminated. Confirm with an authorised BYD dealer / service centre for wheel balancing or alignment.
