BYD Seal 2024 - Side Curtain Airbags; Airbag Triggering Conditions and Precautions

●
For optimum protection from the
driver far side airbag, the occupant
must have the seat belt fastened and
sit in an upright position.
Side Curtain Airbags*
●
If your vehicle is equipped with
left and right side curtain airbags,
mounted at the junction of the side
wall and the ceiling (marked with
"AIRBAG" on the A, B and C pillars) as
shown, they deploy during a moderate
to severe side impact that occurs when
the vehicle is running and meets the
triggering conditions to protect the
head of the occupant on the struck
side.
●
Generally, only the airbag on the
impacted side deploys in the event of
a side impact.
●
For optimum curtain airbag protection,
the occupant must have their seat belt
fastened and sit in an upright position
against the seatback.
Airbag Triggering
Conditions and
Precautions
Airbag Triggering Conditions
●
Airbag triggering conditions: In the
event of a vehicle collision, whether an
airbag will be triggered is decided by
factors such as the amount of collision
energy, accident type, collision angle,
obstacles and vehicle speed. The
airbag system may be triggered in
special collisions.
●
The airbag system does not always
work in any accident, and generally it
will not be triggered in the event of
a minor frontal collision, rear collision
or rollover. In this case, the driver
and passengers are protected by their
properly fastened seat belts.
●
Determinants of airbag system
triggering: Decision is made by
comparing the deceleration curve,
generated in the collision and obtained
by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU )
and the set value. If signals, such as
the deceleration curve generated and
measured in the collision, are lower
than the respective reference values
preset in the ECU, the airbag system
will not be triggered even if the vehicle
may have been seriously deformed in
the accident.
●
The ECU of the BYD airbag system
has been set up with considerations of
common misuse and road conditions.
However, due to the increasing
changes in causes and forms of vehicle
collisions, for your safety, please
strictly follow this user manual, use the
vehicle correctly, and avoid its misuse.
Otherwise, there is no guarantee that
the airbags will achieve their expected
effect.
Cases When Airbags May Be Deployed
The vehicle's nose hits the ground when
crossing a deep groove.
The vehicle hits a bump or curbstone.
