Seat Belts
Seat Belt Overview
Studies have shown that proper use
of seat belts can significantly reduce
casualties in emergency braking, sudden
steering or collisions. Please read the
following information carefully and
observe it strictly.
WARNING
●
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 to fit adults and are not
intended for children. Make sure
to choose a child restraint system
appropriate for your child's age
and size. (see
P12
).
●
If a seat belt is damaged
or malfunctions, immediately
contact a BYD authorized
dealer or service provider
for confirmation and handling.
Until then, do not use the
corresponding seat.
●
All occupants should always fasten
their seat belts while in the vehicle to
avoid personal injury or death in case
of an accident.
●
It is recommended that children be
seated in rear seats and always use
seat belts and suitable child restraints.
In case of emergency braking or a
collision, unprotected children may be
seriously injured and their lives may
be endangered. Likewise, do not allow
children to ride on someone's lap. This
will render the children not adequately
protected.
Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR)
●
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 effectively
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.
Using Seat Belts
1. Adjust the seat position and seatback
angle (see
P61
).
2. Adjust the position of the three-point
seat belt.
●
Keep the correct sitting posture and
pull out the shoulder belt diagonally
across the entire shoulder without
contacting the neck or falling from the
shoulder. Position the lap belt as low
as possible around the hip.
