REMINDER REMINDER ● When driving, make sure all occupants have their seat belts properly fastened to prevent serious injury or death in emergency braking or in a collision. ● Do not disassemble or assemble airbag components without authorization. ● Do not use seat covers, as they restrict airbag deployment on the corresponding side in an accident. 01 SAFETY Airbags ● Do not place anything between the side airbag and the occupant. ● Do not apply excessive force to the side of seats equipped with side airbags. Airbags ● The airbag system is a part of auxiliary restraint system and also a supplement to seat belts.
When the vehicle is involved in a serious collision and the airbag system meets its deployment conditions, relevant airbags will rapidly deploy and, along with seat belts, provide additional protection for heads and chests of the occupants, to reduce likelihood of personal injury or even death. ● After a collision, even if the airbag module did not deploy and the pretensioner did not lock the seat belt, the airbag electronic control unit (ECU) may be encrypted in order to protect occupants from danger. Contact a BYD authorized dealer or service provider for inspection. Driver and Front Passenger Airbags ● Airbags are divided into front and side types, according to the type of collision.
The front airbags include a driver airbag and a front passenger airbag, while side airbags include side airbags, the far side airbag, and curtain airbags. This vehicle is equipped with driver and front passenger airbags, when the airbag system ECU detects a moderate to severe front impact during driving and the triggering conditions are met, the airbags deploy. ● As an integral part of the vehicle's passive safety protection system, the airbag system does not replace seat belts and must be used in combination with seat belts to maximize protection. REMINDER ● Occupants must sit in a proper position to maximize the protection provided by seat belts and the airbag system.
