BYD Seal 2024 - Driver and Front Passenger Airbags

WARNING
●
Do not disassemble or assemble
airbag components.
●
Do not wet the seatbacks, in case
the side airbag system may not
work properly.
●
Do not use seat covers, as they
restrict airbag deployment on the
corresponding side in an accident.
●
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.
●
After a collision, even if the
airbag did not deploy, and the
pretensioner did not lock the
seat belt, to ensure the normal
operation of the airbag system,
contact a BYD authorized dealer
or service provider for inspection
as soon as possible.
●
If the vehicle is exposed to water
(wet carpet or vehicle submerged
in water) or damaged by water,
do not start the vehicle and
the low-voltage battery needs to
be disconnected. Otherwise, the
airbags may deploy, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Driver and Front
Passenger Airbags
This vehicle is equipped with driver
and front passenger airbags, when the
electronic control unit (ECU) of the airbag
system detects a moderate to severe front
impact during driving 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 immediately.
●
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 while airbags provide
minimal additional protection.
●
The front airbag deflates immediately
after inflation, without affecting the
driver's vision and ability to operate
the steering wheel or other controls.
●
Airbags can inflate rapidly when
triggering conditions are satisfied to
further protect drivers and occupants
in an accident.
●
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 off when the airbag deploys.
Although such powder is non-toxic,
individuals with respiratory problem
might experience some temporary
discomfort.
