Airbags
Airbag Overview
●
The airbag system is a part of
auxiliary restraint system and also
a supplement to seat belts. When
the vehicle is involved in a serious
collision and the airbag system meets
its deployment conditions, relevant
airbags will rapidly deploy and, along
with seat belts, provide additional
protection for heads and chests of
the occupants, to reduce likelihood of
personal injury or even death.
●
Airbags are divided into front and
side types according to the type of
collision. The front airbags include a
driver airbag and a front passenger
airbag, while side airbags include side
airbags, the far side airbag, and curtain
airbags.
●
As an integral part of the vehicle's
passive safety protection system,
the airbag system does not replace
seat belts, and must be used in
combination with seat belts to
maximize protection.
WARNING
●
Occupants must sit in a
proper position to maximize the
protection provided by seat belts
and the airbag system.
●
Do not disassemble or assemble
airbag components without
authorization.
●
Non-BYD genuine seat covers may
worsen the airbag performance
or result in injury. 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
module did not deploy, and the
pretensioner did not lock the seat
belt, the airbag electronic control
unit (ECU) may be encrypted in
order to protect occupants from
high-voltage danger. Contact a
BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for inspection.
Airbag fault warning light
●
This airbag system is governed by the
ECU and has a self-diagnosis function.
Its status is displayed by the warning
