● Generally, only the airbag on the impacted side deploys in the event of a side impact. ● For optimum curtain airbag protection, the occupant must have their seat belt fastened and sit upright against the seatback. Airbag Triggering Conditions and Precautions ● When a moderate to severe front or side impact is detected during vehicle travel and the triggering conditions are met, the far side airbag deploys to protect the heads and shoulders of the driver and the front passenger. Airbag Triggering Conditions ● Airbag triggering conditions:
In the event of a vehicle collision, whether an airbag will be triggered is decided by factors such as the amount of collision energy, accident type, collision angle, obstacles, and vehicle speed. The airbag system may be triggered in special collisions. ● If the impact occurs on the front passenger side, the far side airbag deploys even if there is no passenger in the seat. ● For optimum protection from the far side airbag, the driver must buckle up and sit upright against the seatback. Side Curtain Airbags* ● The airbag system does not always work in any accident, and generally it will not be triggered in the event of a minor frontal collision, rear collision or rollover.
In this case, the driver and passengers are protected by their properly fastened seat belts. If the vehicle is equipped with seat side airbags (mounted on the outside of the seatback, marked with "AIRBAG" at A, B and C pillars), when a moderate to severe side impact is detected during vehicle travel and the triggering conditions are met, the side airbag deploys to protect the head of the occupant in a collision. ● Determinants of airbag system triggering: Decision is made by comparing the deceleration curve, generated in the collision and obtained by the Electronic Control Unit(ECU ) and the set value.
If signals, such as the deceleration curve generated and measured in the collision, are lower than the respective reference values preset in the ECU, the airbag system will not be triggered even if the vehicle may have been seriously deformed in the accident. ● The ECU of the BYD airbag system has been set up with considerations of common misuse and road conditions. 18
