Seat Belts Seat Belt Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) Function Introduction to Seat Belts • When the driver turns sharply, brakes suddenly, when there is a collision, or when the occupant leans forward too quickly, the seat belt automatically locks to effectively restrain and protect the occupant. 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. • Occupants can move freely when the vehicle is running smoothly and the seat belts are pulled out or retracted slowly. CAUTION!
•Always have the seatbelt fastened while the vehicle is in motion. • If the seat belt locks due to sudden retraction, let it retract a little further and slowly pull it back. •Before driving, make sure all occupants have their seat belts properly fastened to prevent serious injury. Seat Belt Pretensioner and Force Limiter Function* •Vehicle seat belts are designed for adults, not being suitable for children. Make sure the appropriate CRS is chosen according to children's age and size (refer to the CRS section).
When there is a serious frontal collision and the triggering conditions of the pretensioner and force limiter are met, the pretensioner quickly retracts part of the seat belt to enhance protection. The force limiter buffers the seat belt's restraint force on the occupant's body within a certain range, to prevent injury from excessive restraint force. •If a seat belt is damaged or malfunctions, contact a BYD authorized dealer or service provider for confirmation and handling. Until then, please do not use the corresponding seat. • It's mandatory for all vehicle occupants to fasten their seat belts at all times. Failure to do so increases the risk of injury in case of an accident.
Using Seat Belts 1. Adjust the seat position and backrest angle. (See Front Seat Electronic Adjustment ) • Children must sit in the rear seat and must fasten seat belts for protection. Accident statistics indicate that a child who sits in the rear seat and properly uses a child restraint device is much safer than a child sitting in the front seat. 2. Adjust the position of the three-point seat belt. • Do not allow children to travel standing or kneeling on the rear seat, nor sitting on someone's lap, for there is a high risk of serious injury in case of emergency braking or collision. 16
