There is no paper user manual for ours either. Ask your Denza sales for an intro video and study D9 posts on XiaoHongShu, that's all I needed.
There's an electric version of the user manual (电子手册) in the center control?I will need to check my car tomorrow. By the way, my D9 is not Global specs, it's a China specs. So, same as yours.

"BYD topped the electric car market in Israel between January to October, with total sales reaching 15,778 units, according to figures released by the Israel Vehicle Importers Association yesterday. The Chinese auto giant's best-selling models were the Atto 3 crossover, the Dolphin hatchback, and the Seal fastback sedan. " yicai

"Many Chinese EV Makers’ Sales Soar to New Highs in October; BYD Sails Past 500,000 Mark"
"Several Chinese manufacturers of new energy vehicles logged record sales in October, buoyed by newly introduced consumer incentives such as trade-ins. BYD continued to lead the pack and its shipments surpassed the 500,000 milestone for the first time.

Half of the 18 car brands to have released their October NEV sales figures so far have logged a leap of at least 80 percent from the year before, according to Yicai. Of these, seven belong to traditional auto manufacturers while the other two are electric car startups Leap Motor and AITO.

BYD’s NEV shipments surged 66 percent in October from the year before to 502,600 units. The Shenzhen-based carmaker remains head and shoulders above the competition.

Sales of Geely Auto's Galaxy marque soared 83 percent to 63,492 units while that of its Zeekr brand surged 91.6 percent to 25,049 autos.

Changan Automobile's Deepal marque logged a 79.6 percent jump in sales to 27,862 units, while its Avatr marque saw sales soar two-and-a-half-fold to 10,056 autos.

The buoyant NEV market in October is closely linked to strong policy support, analysts said. In August, seven government departments including the Ministry of Commerce have increased subsidies for vehicle trade-ins.

There are around 10,000 applications each day to swap old cars for new, according to the China Passenger Car Association. As more policies are rolled out around the country to upgrade vehicles, there is expected to be an even more pronounced jump in demand.

Dongfeng Motor's Voyah brand reported a 67.4 percent leap in sales to top 10,000 units, and SAIC Motor's IM marque witnessed a 149 percent surge, also exceeding 10,000 autos.

Chery New Energy’s shipments soared nearly four-and-a-half times to 71,330 units. Great Wall Motor sold 32,000 NEVs in October but did not disclose the growth rate.

NEV startups also performed well, although their growth rates were slower than that of traditional automakers. Li Auto logged a 27.3 percent jump in sales in October from the year before to 51,443 units. Both Leap Motor and AITO’s shipments more than doubled to 38,177 units and 36,011 units, respectively.

Xpeng Motors’ sales climbed 20 percent to 23,917 autos, Nio’s shipments jumped 30.5 percent to 20,976 units and Xiaomi Auto sold more than 20,000 units."

I just came back from a 2 week trip to China, visited Beijing, Nanjing, Wuxi, and Shanghai. The last time I visited was 2014, and the the growth of both EVs and home grown brands is staggering in that period of time. I saw a lot more Nios and Li Auto vehicles than I would've expected given their sales numbers. In the south I saw a lot of Roewe's, and the French cars have all but disappeared. I remember going back to China in 2009 and 2014 and seeing Peugots and Renaults everywhere in the south, and I had to look them up because I didn't know any French car brands (there aren't any in the US). This time I hardly saw any.

One of my relatives in Nanjing who learned how to drive when he was 60 years old is driving an Aito M7. It's a damn big vehicle to be driving around the busy streets of Nanjing, but perhaps it's because he learned driving so late he uses the self-driving tech extensively. The ADAS had some issues with busy roundabouts and at the railway station, but was overall very impressive. I was also quite impressed with the way he used the ADAS. He described it as driving with 2 people and it really was like that. To a lot of us who have been driving since we were young it can feel exhausting supervising the ADAS, but to him a default driving mode that he simply needs to fine tune occasionally. It was a big safety net for him as it sees 360 degrees and can see over the car in front of him.

I rode in quite a few BYDs when I hailed Didi's. One issue I noticed is that in a lot of the EVs I rode in is that the ride is more stop and go than in ICE's. I'm not sure if it's because the regen braking is too aggressive or if the drivers aren't used to using it, but rather than coasting and then easing into braking while in traffic it seems to go directly from accelerating to braking too abruptly. Maybe someone who's driven them vs. say Teslas can offer some insight.
