Seat Belt 11 1 Warning Warning Warning When driving, do NOT loosen a fastened seat belt. The seat belt must not be in contact with fragile subjects (such as glasses, ball pen, etc.), because this may lead to injury. The latch of the seat belt must be correctly inserted into the buckle. Wearing the seat belt in the wrong way will affect the protective function of the seat belt. Before wearing the seat belt, be sure to remove loose clothing (such as overcoats), so as to prevent them from affecting the fit between the seat belt and the body and affecting the protective function of the seat belt. The seat belt must be kept clean at all times.
A very dirty seat belt may not retract properly into the automatic retractor housing. Even pregnant women should wear seat belts. The seat belt should be close to the hip as much as possible, so as to prevent it from exerting pressure on the lower abdomen. Pregnant women should sit in the back seat and remain upright as much as possible. They should stay clear of the steering wheel and dashboard. This can reduce injury to the mother and baby in the event of a vehicle collision, or when the airbag is triggered. If passengers do not wear their seat belts correctly, the seat belts cannot play their corresponding protective role.
The latch socket must not be blocked with paper or similar objects, or it will not be possible to insert the latch into the buckle. If the seat belt is disjointed or broken, or there is damage to the seat belt joint, the automatic retracting device or the locking element, serious injury may be caused in the event of an accident. Therefore, be sure to regularly check all seat belt components. Do NOT attempt to repair, adjust, install or remove the pyrotechnic pre-tensioner or the other components of the seat belt. Do NOT attempt to make changes to the seat belt in any way. The components of the seat belt can only be installed, altered or removed by an authorized BAIC dealership.
After an accident has occurred, be sure to have any damaged or deformed seat belts replaced at an authorized BAIC dealership. Even if there is no apparent deformation in the seat belts’ appearance, they must still be replaced. In addition, also be sure to check the fastening device of the seat belt.
