Seat Belts
Seat Belt Overview
Studies have shown that proper use
of seat belts can signi󽗉cantly reduce
casualties in emergency braking, sudden
steering or collisions. Please read the
following information carefully and
observe it strictly.
CAUTION
●
Always have the seat belts
fastened while the vehicle is in
motion.
●
Before driving, make sure all
occupants are properly buckled
up to prevent serious injury or
death in emergency braking or in
a collision.
●
The seat belts are designed
primarily for adults and are not
intended for children. Make sure
to choose an appropriate child
restraint system according to your
child's age and size (see "Child
Restraint Systems").
●
If a seat belt is damaged
or malfunctions, immediately
contact a BYD authorized
dealer or service provider
for con󽗉rmation and handling.
Until then, do not use the
corresponding seat.
●
BYD has highly emphasized that all
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.
●
The installed seat belts are designed
for adults. Appropriate seat belt
selections are necessary for di󽗈erent
situations.
●
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.
●
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.
Emergency Locking Retractor Function
●
When the driver turns sharply or
brakes suddenly, when there is a
collision, or when the occupant
leans forward too quickly, the seat
belt automatically locks to e󽗈ectively
restrain and protect the occupant.
●
When the vehicle travels smoothly,
seat belts are pulled out and retracted
as the occupants move slowly and
smoothly, allowing the occupants to
move freely.
●
If the seat belt locks due to sudden
retraction, pull on the seat belt
webbing to create retractable slack in
order to pull out the seat belt.
Pretensioner and Force Limiter
Function*
When a severe front collision occurs
and the triggering conditions of the
pretensioner are met, the pretensioner
quickly retracts part of the seat belt and
locks it to improve the protection of the
occupant. The force limiter 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.
