BYD SONG PLUS DM-i: using the day/night lever on the interior mirror

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:30:55 +0000

On the version with a manual anti-glare interior mirror, the lever has a day position and a night position. BYD’s diagram labels the clearer daytime position as 1 and the position for reducing glare from vehicles behind as 2.

Switch positions while parked so you can see how the reflection changes. The night position reduces glare but gives a less clear image. If your mirror uses a different mechanism, use the instructions for that equipment.

The rear passenger ports behind the centre console are for charging. If you are trying to play media from USB storage, look at the front-row USB section for the port intended for the infotainment system.

Check the front-port labels and the manual supplied with your own car before assuming that every socket supports data. The illustration and port descriptions here are from the Middle East SONG PLUS DM-i edition.
