Seat Belts In emergency braking or collision, unprotected children may be seriously injured and their lives may be endangered. Likewise, do not allow children to sitting on someone's lap, for there is insufficient protection. Introduction to Seat Belts Studies have shown that proper use of seat belts can significantly reduce casualties in emergency braking, sudden steering, or collisions. Please read the following information carefully and observe it strictly. Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) ● During the sharp turn, emergency braking and collision process, or when the occupant leans forward too quickly, the seat belt automatically locks to effectively restrain and protect the occupant.
CAUTION ● Fasten the seat belt and sit properly while the vehicle is in motion. ● Occupants can move freely when the vehicle is running smoothly and the seat belts are pulled out or retracted slowly. ● The driver should ensure that all occupants are wearing seat belts before driving the vehicle to prevent serious injury or death in emergency braking or in a collision. ● If the seat belt locks due to fast retraction, allow it to retract for a distance of 15mm and slowly pull it back. ● The seat belts on the vehicle are mainly designed according to the body size of adults, and are not suitable for children.
Please select an appropriate child safety seat according to the age and body size of children. (Refer to the Child Safety Seats in this chapter) Pretensioner and Force Limiter Function of Seat Belt* When the vehicle suffers a severe frontal collision and the activating conditions of the pretensioner are met, the pretensioner quickly retracts some of the seat belt and locks it to further protect the driver and passengers. The pretensioner limits the seat-belt restraint force to the occupant's body to a certain extent so as to avoid injury to the occupant due to an excessive restraint force.
● If the seat belt is damaged or dysfunctional, immediately contact a BYD authorized service provider for confirmation and handling. Do not use the corresponding seat before such confirmation and handling. ● BYD has highly emphasized that driver and occupants should always fasten their seat belts while in the vehicle. Failure to do so increases the risk of injury in case of an accident. Using Seat Belts 1. Adjust the seat position and seatback angle (see "Electrical Front Seat Adjustment*".) ● It is recommended that children be seated in rear seats and always use seat belts and a suitable CRS. 2. Adjust the position of the three-point seat belt. 14
