BYD Pakistan has announced the launch of the latest OTA Updates for three of its models, including the Atto 2, Atto 3, and Seal. The new range of updates focuses on improving the UI, optimizing the experience, and removing some bugs currently present in its models.

Bug fixes and general improvements are similar to other models in the latest OTA updates.
Along with the release of the latest updates for its lineup, BYD Pakistan has also issued some important safety instructions that owners must keep in mind while updating the software. One thing BYD makes clear is that this is a big and time-consuming update that could take around 1 or 2 hours, so it must be done when the vehicle is not intended for use for some time. The vehicle must be parked on a flat surface and put in P gear to ensure that it does not start moving while the update is in progress.
BYD also suggests that the vehicle has a stable internet connection to ensure a steady download of the update file. The vehicle must be kept turned on until the screen displays a confirmation message that the update is complete. The update must not be started during certain scenarios, for example when connected to an external OB device, during battery charging or discharging, or in transport mode, as these situations may lead to update corruption and bricking the system software. Temporary issues like screen flickering, warning lights coming on or off, or blackouts are common, so BYD suggests owners complete the update before contacting the service centers.
