1-2 Introduction to Air Bag System
Triggering Conditions of Air Bag System
Triggering conditions of air bag system:
Triggering of the air bag system depends on some decisive factors relevant to the
collision intensity, type of accident, collision angle, obstacle and vehicle speed
when a collision accident occurs.
When a special collision accident occurs, the air bag system may be triggered.
Decisive factors for triggering air bag system
A comprehensive comparison and judgment will be made between the set value and
an acceleration curve produced in a collision and obtained by the ECU. If the
acceleration curve or any other signal produced and detected in collision is lower than
relevant reference value preset in the ECU, the air bag will not be triggered even if the
vehicle may have been severely deformed in the accident.
The air bag system may not function in any accident. It will not be triggered generally
in case of slight frontal collision, rear-end collision or overturn. In this case, the driver
and passengers can be protected normally by properly wearing seat belts.
BYD AUTO has fully considered the common misuse and road conditions in the
country in setting the ECU of the air bag system. However, as the reasons and forms
of collision accidents vary, for the sake of your safety, please strictly observe this
Owner's Manual and correctly operate the vehicle; otherwise, the expected effect of
the air bag system cannot be guaranteed.
Warning Light for Air Bag System
The SRS is monitored by the ECU, with self-
diagnosis function. Its state can be displayed via
the warning light on the dashboard.
When the START/STOP button is in the OK
mode, the warning light for air bag system will
light up, go out about 5s later and keep off for
more than 5s. This indicates that the air bag
system is normal.
If the air bag system is turned off by a BYD authorised service provider, the
warning light will operate as described above but the air bag system will not have
the protection function.
