CAUTION
●
Do not disassemble or assemble

●
Non-BYD genuine seat covers may
worsen the airbag performance
or result in injury. Do not place

●
Do not apply excessive force to the
side of seats equipped with side
airbags.
●
After a collision, even if the airbag
module did not deploy, and the

belt, the airbag electronic control
unit (ECU) may be encrypted in
order to protect occupants from
high-voltage danger. Contact a
BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for inspection.
Driver and Front
Passenger Airbags
This vehicle is equipped with driver and
front passenger airbags. When the airbag
system Electronic Control Unit(ECU)
detects a moderate to severe front
impact, and the triggering conditions are
met, the airbags deploy.
Front airbag deployment
●
In moderate to severe frontal crashes,
a sensor detects a sharp deceleration
and sends a signal to the ECU to trigger
the front airbags.
●
When there is a frontal crash, the seat
belt secures the occupant's lower body
and torso in place. The airbag cushions
and protects the occupant's head and
chest.
●
When the severity of the impact
does not reach the airbag deployment
threshold, seat belts provide enough
protection.
●
The front airbag de󽗊ates immediately
after in󽗊ation, without a󽗈ecting the
driver's vision and ability to operate
the steering wheel or other controls.
●
The airbag deploys within a
thousandth of a second.
●
A loud noise will be heard when the
airbag deploys. It will not cause injury,
but it may cause tinnitus or temporary
deafness.
●
A cloud of dust from the airbag surface
may come o󽗈 when the airbag deploys.
Although such powder is non-toxic,
individuals with respiratory problem
might experience some temporary
discomfort.
●
The front passenger airbag is
controlled by the passenger airbag
(PAB) switch. For details, see "PAB
Switch*" for details.
