BYD App Update

I’m loving the new update with proper climate control schedules including seat heating/ventilation and steering wheel heating. But what does this new icon do?

What does it say?

itsalongwalkhome 2025-12-12 08:02

I think that stops the engine if its on. Though idk how the hybrid ones work.

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-12 08:08

Oohh that makes sense. I thought it was related to the automatic parking brake because it’s the same arch.

CarlSPC1 2025-12-12 08:17

Stop the engine, applies to hybrid models only.

[deleted] 2025-12-12 08:27

I have the same icon for the full electric

CarlSPC1 2025-12-12 08:31

Which model car?

Haunting_Ask2893 2025-12-12 08:41

Just for the aesthetics those wheels on the car should be a little bigger. Looks funny like this

ProfessionalOnion316 2025-12-12 08:58

man, several updates later i still dont have scheduled charging on my atto 3 :/

bishayk 2025-12-12 09:02

It to turn off the vehicle engine

Few_Accountant9202 2025-12-12 09:18

I deffiantly needed this option because my dumb brain doesn't hear engine sound sometimes and think the car is off and just lock the car a go so this help alot incase i ever forget and im far away or to lazy to go back.

neil_b_82 2025-12-12 09:21

I have this icon on Sealion 7

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-12 09:29

Doesn’t your car honk its horn if you try to lock it with the ignition on? Pretty sure mine does

Few_Accountant9202 2025-12-12 09:33

Mine does as well, but it also triggers if a window is open or if a door is slightly unlatched or not fully closed. Sometimes I press lock while I’m closing the door. I’ve also noticed that the app now has an open and close boot option, which wasn’t there before.

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-12 09:38

Does it!? I can’t see the boot button. What does it look like/where is it?

[deleted] 2025-12-12 09:48

Seal U

WaltetTib 2025-12-12 10:08

Maybe, but if in the next update they made the writing bigger so that you could read the fortune teller and percentage of charge at a glance, it would be better.

c-migs 2025-12-12 10:57

That sux.What country ??

[deleted] 2025-12-12 11:14

I did not get those new icons in my app. And the planning for heating is only for temperature i can plan max 24 hours ahead. So that is a pretty weak update for car. Tang EV MY 2024

ProfessionalOnion316 2025-12-12 11:15

philippines. my sl6 has it, atto doesnt

SpecialMobile6174 2025-12-12 12:14

Normally, that symbol references a turning physical engine. I would assume this is a "Hybrid ICE Stop" button to force the car to EV only

unknownknowledgeguy 2025-12-12 13:22

Tested this on mines, Hybrid Seal U it completely turns off the car regardless if the ICE is on or not. Does not force it into EV.

Cautious_Tax_9497 2025-12-12 13:50

Atto 3 in AUS does not have that boot option but has windows, I dont think it needs it because if you press lock while windows are open, it closes all windows including sunshade. The boot option is much useful.

Few_Accountant9202 2025-12-12 13:53

Window close option is good if you leave the car running and lock it. The windows then do not close if it is runner, in this scenrio you would use the close window option.

gatoloco 2025-12-12 14:55

Regarding Schedules, i want to create a schedule to turn on the heating in the morning. But doesn't seem to be a setting to turn off, does it? I want a schedule to turn on at one time and turn off another time, is that possible?

RefrigeratorNo4413 2025-12-12 18:12

Sealvyia 😂😂😂

Wonka0998 2025-12-12 19:07

I don't know why the first thing I thought was to stop the car from moving, even if it's in motion, in case someone stole it. Damn that's sad. But of course, the "stopping the ICE" option makes a lot more sense.

mlhbv 2025-12-12 21:04

Just tap it and it will tell you that it switches of the engine. Do people investigate anything at all themselves??

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-13 12:24

Haha it was Sealvester but the voice assistant is female 🤷🏻‍♂️

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-13 12:25

That’s crazy, I don’t have those buttons and yet we have the same car!

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-13 12:27

What do you think I’m doing by posting it in here? I work in tech and have 0 issues pressing buttons. My general rule of thumb is not to fuck with something uninformed when that thing transports me at 70mph. Call me crazy.

hinzwifi 2025-12-13 13:15

I don't have it in my Seal 5 DM-i so I think it's only for Pure EV.

mlhbv 2025-12-13 13:16

When doing 70, you should not be playing with your phone

hinzwifi 2025-12-13 13:20

Damn, Is that for the portable charging? I have it on my Seal 5 DM-i

hinzwifi 2025-12-13 13:20

Does it only show while running? I don't have it on my Seal 5 DM-i

ProfessionalOnion316 2025-12-13 14:01

ac charging (wallbox).

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-13 14:07

In other news, the sun is hot. You can’t even use the App while driving the car… my point is that I’m not going to press a button on a car that I don’t know. Hence why I asked here. I don’t know if you’re intentionally trolling now or you’ve got 2 brain cells fighting for 3rd place.

amsedm 2025-12-13 14:20

I don’t have it with Dolphin Extended Range too

hinzwifi 2025-12-13 14:40

Oh, I didn't know that even the wallbox would have a scheduled charging. Thank you

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-13 16:07

I don’t have it because I’m an authorised driver and not the main driver. So annoying!

NunoTomaz 2025-12-14 19:38

I still don't have this update. Is this for Android or iOS?

Sample-Range-745 2025-12-15 11:30

All these function updates on the app, and I'd love to have a button that can crack the windows open like 1 or 2cm in the app. Would be great for letting the heat out before getting into the car...

Early_Cartographer14 2025-12-16 11:48

Did everybody get this update? Because I just updated my car (Seal) and the app and did not get this Feature nor the climate control settings.

LaloKURD 2025-12-25 15:25

How did you download the app?

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2025-12-25 23:13

iOS App Store

Positive-Edge4798 2026-01-05 00:15

Hi there… I have the same model… but my one is boost… I was wondering how you find the consumption as I I think my one consumes more than I expected

doublebarrel-pinkeye 2026-01-05 02:00

Hello! So you won’t find it on the app but it is on the car. Click on settings and navigate to Energy… you’ll find it all there. Out of curiosity, where are you based? I ask because I’m in England in the middle of -4c weather and the cold weather really affects EV batteries and their range. Apologies if this was already common knowledge for you!
