Seat Belts
Seat Belt Overview
Studies have shown that proper use
of seat belts can signi󽗉cantly reduce
casualties in emergency braking, sudden
steering or collisions. Please read the
following information carefully and
observe it strictly.
CAUTION
●
Always have the seat belts
fastened while the vehicle is in
motion.
●
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 on the vehicle are
mainly designed according to the
body size of adults, and are not
suitable for children. Please select
an appropriate child safety seat
according to the age and body
size of children. (Refer to the Child
Safety Seats in this chapter)
●
If a seat belt is damaged
or malfunctions, immediately
contact a BYD authorised
dealer or service provider
for con󽗉rmation and handling.
Until then, do not use the
corresponding seat.
●
BYD has highly emphasised that all
occupants should always fasten their
seat belts while in the vehicle. Failure
to do so increases the risk of injury 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 emergency braking or
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 e󽗈ectively
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 fast
retraction, allow it to retract for a
distance of 15mm and slowly pull it
back.
Pretensioner and Force Limiter*
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 "Electrical Front Seat
Adjustment".)
2. Adjust the position of the three-point
seat belt.
