Airbag System
Introduction to Airbags
• The airbag system is a part of the
auxiliary restraint system, and also a
supplement to the seat and seat belt.
When the vehicle is involved in a serious
collision and conditions are met, the
airbag deploys and provides head
protection along with the seat belt chest
protection.
• Airbags are divided into front and side
types, according to the type of collision.
Front airbags include both driver and
front passenger airbags, and side airbags
include front seat side and side curtain
airbags.
• As an integral part of the vehicle's passive
safety protection system, the airbag
system does not replace seat belts, and
it must be combined with the use of seat
belts to maximize protection.
MCB (Multi-Collision Brake) Function MCB (Multi-Collision Brake) Function
• If an accident requires front airbags
activation, the vehicle will engage
automatic braking.
• Speed reduction, along with
intervention by additional driving
systems (Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)),
will assist the vehicle to maintain
stability and lane position.
• Hazard and brake lights will also
light up to alert oncoming traffic and
prevent further collisions.
• To support emergency service rescue
and vehicle recovery, brakes will
release and brake lights will go off
after the accident.
• The driver can interrupt the multi-
collision braking at any time by
accelerating or braking.
CAUTION!
•Occupants must sit in a proper
position to maximize the protection
provided by the seat belt and the
airbag system.
•Do not disassemble or assemble
the airbag components without
authorization.
•The use of seat covers other than
BYD original products may result
in poor airbag performance and
consequential injury. Do not place
anything between the side airbag and
the passenger.
•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 computer may be encrypted
in order to protect the passengers from
the dangers of high voltage. Contact
a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider to carry out testing.
Driver and Front
Passenger Airbags
This vehicle is equipped with driver and
front passenger airbags. When the airbag
system Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
detects a moderate to severe front impact,
and the triggering conditions are met, the
airbags deploy.
