Confirmed facts

Confirmed facts
TopicSource-backed position
Dmi SpecsDM-i Boost, Comfort and Design stay market-scoped. The official Europe page confirms Super DM, 18.3 kWh headline battery, 70 km plus EV range, up to 1080 km combined range and 18 kW DC charging.
Dmi ChargingSEAL U DM-i charging content covers AC/DC/V2L and EV/HEV energy flow without component-level hybrid-system repair instructions.
Accessories CheckAccessory fitment is conservative: charging cable, V2L, mats, TPMS, tire inflator and parts are marked official/regional only when source strength supports it; tow bar and roof rack require VIN/market checks.
Maintenance DmiEurope DM-i maintenance is sourced from the official DM-i manual: 12 months / 15,000 km hybrid/engine service items plus 24 months / 30,000 km vehicle checks.

Owner checklist

  • Confirm market, model year, trim, steering side and powertrain before applying a figure.
  • Use the official source links at the bottom for the current wording and documents.
  • Keep high-voltage, charging, braking, steering, airbag, ADAS, towing and rescue work with authorized BYD service.
  • For imported cars, verify VIN, software, charging standard and warranty registration locally.

Frequently asked questions

Is this official BYD text?

No. It is an AutoTechHelp editorial summary based on cited official or review-labelled sources.

Which version does it apply to?

Check whether the vehicle is SEAL U EV, SEAL U DM-i or Australia SEALION 6, then verify market, year, trim and steering side.

Can I mix Europe and Australia data?

No. Australia SEALION 6 facts are useful for comparison but remain AU/RHD-scoped until an official source proves exact equivalence.

Are DTC/error codes published?

No SEAL U-specific numeric DTC pages are published here without official or authorized diagnostic documentation.

Is this a repair manual?

No. Safety-critical systems remain service-only and the page intentionally avoids repair or wiring procedures.

What should I record before contacting service?

Record the exact message or icon, color, mileage, SOC/fuel level, charging or driving state, weather, recent service and accessory/software changes.

Why are some names left in English?

Trim names, DM-i, Super DM, V2L, DTC, ADAS and source market names are kept close to official wording to avoid mistranslation.

How often are sources checked?

AutoTechHelp stores checked dates and keeps safety-critical or conflicting topics in review until sources are strong enough.

Can imported cars use this page?

Use it as a source map and checklist, then confirm by VIN, local dealer support and the vehicle market record.

Are manuals copied here?

No. Manuals are linked and summarized in original wording; full manual text and protected images are not copied.
