●
With the ignition on, if the airbag
warning light stays on for about 󽗉ve
seconds and then disappears, the
system is running smoothly.
WARNING
●
The airbag warning light stays
on in the presence of certain
system faults. If this light stays
on, please head to the nearest
BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for an airbag system
inspection.
●
If your vehicle is submerged in
water or experiences a certain
degree of water damage, do not
start the vehicle before cutting
o󽗈 the low-voltage battery.
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.
●
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.
●
The front airbag de󽗊ates immediately
after in󽗊ation, without a󽗈ecting the
driver's vision and ability to operate
the steering wheel or other controls.
●
Airbags can in󽗊ate rapidly when
triggering conditions are satis󽗉ed 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 o󽗈 when the airbag deploys.
Although such powder is non-toxic,
individuals with respiratory problem
might experience some temporary
discomfort.
●
The front passenger airbag is
controlled by the passenger airbag
switch. See P82 for details.
Front Seat Side Airbags
The vehicle is equipped with side airbags
for the left and right front seats (installed
in the outer edges of the front-row
seatbacks and marked with "AIRBAG", as
shown in the illustration).
