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 have their seat belts
properly fastened. In emergency
braking or collision, passengers
are more likely to be seriously
injured and their lives may be
endangered.
●
The seat belts are designed
primarily for adults and are not
intended for children. Make sure
to choose an appropriate child
restraint system (CRS) according
to your child's age and size (see
"Child Restraint System (CRS)").
●
If a seat belt is damaged or
malfunctions, contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service
provider for con󽗉rmation and
handling. Until then, do not use
the corresponding seat.
●
BYD has highly emphasized 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 a suitable CRS.
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)
Function
●
When the driver turns sharply, 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 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 Adjusting Front Seats).
2. Adjust the position of the three-point
seat belt.
