Seat Belts
Introduction to Seat Belts
Studies have shown that proper use of seat
belts can significantly reduce casualties
in emergency braking, sudden steering,
or collisions. Please read the following
information carefully and observe it strictly.
CAUTION!
•Always have the seatbelt fastened
while the vehicle is in motion.
•Before driving, make sure all occupants
have their seat belts properly fastened
to prevent serious injury.
•Vehicle seat belts are designed for
adults, not being suitable for children.
Make sure the appropriate CRS is
chosen according to children's age
and size (refer to the CRS section).
•If a seat belt is damaged or
malfunctions, contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider
for confirmation and handling.
Until then, please do not use the
corresponding seat.
• It's mandatory for all vehicle occupants
to fasten their seat belts at all times.
Failure to do so increases the risk of
injury in case of an accident.
• Children must sit in the rear seat and
must fasten seat belts for protection.
Accident statistics indicate that a child
who sits in the rear seat and properly
uses a child restraint device is much
safer than a child sitting in the front seat.
• Do not allow children to travel standing
or kneeling on the rear seat, nor sitting
on someone's lap, for there is a high risk
of serious injury in case of emergency
braking or collision.
Seat Belt 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 effectively restrain and protect the
occupant.
• Occupants can move freely when the
vehicle is running smoothly and the seat
belts are pulled out or retracted slowly.
• If the seat belt locks due to sudden
retraction, let it retract a little further and
slowly pull it back.
Seat Belt Pretensioner and Force
Limiter Function*
When there is a serious frontal collision and
the triggering conditions of the pretensioner
and force limiter are met, the pretensioner
quickly retracts part of the seat belt to
enhance protection. The force limiter
buffers the seat belt's restraint force on the
occupant's body within a certain range, to
prevent injury from excessive restraint force.
Using Seat Belts
1. Adjust the seat position and backrest
angle. (See Front Seat Electronic
Adjustment )
2. Adjust the position of the three-point
seat belt.
