Additional Notes

  • The BYD F5 1.5 (79 kW) hydraulic brake system holds between 0.8 and 1 liter of brake fluid, a range that reflects the tolerance typical of a service fill rather than a full system overhaul.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.5 (79 kW) variant carries a check interval of every 5,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first, paired with a change interval of 20,000 km or 12 months.
  • The initial service condition for the 1.5 (79 kW) specifies a brake fluid check at 3,000 km, which is a shorter interval than the 5,000 km check assigned under normal use conditions for the same engine.
  • The 1.5T (105 kW) turbocharged variant shares the same 0.8–1 liter capacity range as the naturally aspirated 1.5 (79 kW), indicating no difference in reservoir size between the two engine configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.5T (105 kW) carries a check interval of 7,500 km or 12 months, which is notably longer than the 5,000 km or 3-month check interval assigned to the 1.5 (79 kW) under the same use condition.
  • The change interval for the 1.5T (105 kW) under normal use is set at 40,000 km or 24 months, doubling both the distance and time thresholds specified for the 1.5 (79 kW) variant's 20,000 km or 12-month change interval.
