2026 BYD Dolphin FAQ
Why can the vehicle's SOC decrease while it is parked?
While parked, smart charging can draw from the high-voltage battery to charge the low-voltage battery, so a lower SOC at startup is normal.
If SOC is low, smart charging cannot operate; do not leave the vehicle parked at low SOC for long, and charge it promptly.
Page 85 in the 2026 manual →How can I improve my BYD Dolphin's driving range?
Avoid frequent sudden acceleration or deceleration, drive on flat dry roads, and reduce high-power use by turning off A/C or adjusting its temperature when necessary.
Page 91 in the 2026 manual →What should I do if the parking brake warning light indicates low brake fluid?
Park safely, contact a BYD authorized dealer or service provider, and do not continue driving because low brake fluid impairs safety.
Page 40 in the 2026 manual →How do I use the mechanical key?
Lock or unlock the driver's door with the mechanical key inside the smart key, then put it back when finished.
Page 46 in the 2026 manual →When is routine maintenance due?
Plan maintenance by the odometer reading or time interval, whichever comes first; brake and tire checks are every 24 months or 20,000 miles (30,000 km).
