BYD SHARK 6: finding the pickup-bed anchors and securing cargo

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:30:53 +0000

Find the tie-down points in the bed before loading. BYD advises spreading the load evenly, keeping heavier items low and securing the cargo with suitable straps or ropes so it cannot move.

Check that the cargo is within the bed dimensions described in the manual, and keep its height low. The manual cautions against using the tailgate or an optional roll bar to support the load. Recheck the straps and latch before driving.

BYD SHARK 6: opening the pickup tailgate from the exterior switch

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:30:52 +0000

With the pickup unlocked, the manual calls for two presses of the exterior tailgate switch within one second. If it is locked, unlock the vehicle first. The same chapter lists a double press of the tailgate button on the smart key as another option.

Stand clear while the tailgate opens. To close it, the manual describes lifting the stationary tailgate by hand until it latches. Confirm it is secure before driving.

BYD SHARK 6: where the cabin 12 V socket is and what it can power

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:09:41 +0000

The front 12 V accessory outlet is inside the centre console storage compartment, under a cover. If a charger or dashcam won’t power up there with the ignition off, that matches the operation described in this manual.

Check the accessory’s input rating before connecting it. BYD specifies less than 10 A and less than 120 W for this supply. These figures apply to the cabin 12 V socket.

The manual advises against extended use while the engine is off because it can drain the low-voltage battery. Close the socket cover after unplugging the accessory and keep liquids away from it.
