Frequently Asked Questions
Which variant do I have – S6, S6A, or S6K?
By transmission and kerb mass: S6 = 5-speed manual / 1620 kg; S6A = 6-speed manual / 1665 kg; S6K = 6-speed automatic / 1695 kg. Chassis plate and VIN decoding are in the manual’s General Info section.
Is this same vehicle as the BYD Yuan or Tang?
No – the S6 is a distinct model from BYD’s SUV lineup. The Yuan and Tang are separate platforms. Do not use this manual for those.
Does this cover the 2.0L and 2.4L engines?
Yes. Both BYD483QB (2.0L, 95 kW) and BYD488QA (2.4L, 118 kW) are covered with separate engine service sections.
Are the BYD-specific transmission codes covered?
Yes – 5T19 (manual), BYD6T25 (manual), and BYD6DT35 (automatic) each have dedicated chapters with ratios, service procedures, and rebuild information.
