SEALION 7 vibration or steering shake at motorway speed
SEALION 7 motorway-speed vibration checks covering tyres, wheels, road conditions, safety limits and professional inspection.
SEALION 7 motorway-speed vibration checks covering tyres, wheels, road conditions, safety limits and professional inspection.
- Note the speed band, road surface, acceleration or braking state and outside temperature.
- Check cold tyre pressures against the label on the exact vehicle.
- Inspect the visible tyre tread, sidewalls and wheels for damage or trapped material.
- Record recent tyre replacement, wheel removal, kerb impact or pothole contact.
Stop first for danger signs
Reduce speed smoothly and stop somewhere safe for a severe or sudden vibration, steering change, tyre warning, impact damage, bulge, rapid pressure loss or abnormal noise. Do not continue a test merely to reproduce it.
Record the conditions
• Note the speed band, road surface, acceleration or braking state and outside temperature. • Check cold tyre pressures against the label on the exact vehicle. • Inspect the visible tyre tread, sidewalls and wheels for damage or trapped material. • Record recent tyre replacement, wheel removal, kerb impact or pothole contact.
Avoid speculative fixes
Do not copy another model’s pressure, add balancing weights, alter alignment or continue driving on a damaged tyre. Driver-assistance vibration through the steering wheel should also be distinguished from a continuous mechanical shake.
Arrange a measured inspection
Ask a qualified tyre service or authorised BYD repairer to reproduce the condition and check tyres, wheels, balance, alignment and relevant suspension or drivetrain components. Provide the speed and road-condition record. Persistent vibration should not be dismissed without inspection.
