Airbag triggering conditions
The airbag is designed to be
triggered under the following
conditions: frontal (side) collision
accidents may trigger the airbag
system; special collision accidents
may trigger the airbag system.
In general, the airbag system won’t
be triggered in mild front collision or
side collision accidents, in rear end
collisions or in turn-over accidents.
In such accidents, the seat belt, if
fastened, can protect the driver in
the normal way.
The decisive factor for triggering
the airbag system is the
comprehensive intelligent
comparison and judgment of the
deceleration curve produced in a
collision and acquired by the
electronic control unit (ECU) and the
set value. If the automobile
deceleration signal produced and
detected in the collision is lower than
the set reference value in the ECU, the
airbag won’t be triggered even though
the car may have been severely
deformed in the accident.
ECU setting of BYD airbag system
takes various common misuse and
domestic road conditions into full
consideration. However, reasons and
conditions of crashes are variable, so,
for your safety, please abide strictly by
this manual, use the automobile
correctly and avoid misuse; otherwise,
the expected protection effect of the
airbag cannot be ensured.
Airbag warning light
The airbag system is monitored by an
electronic control unit and provided
with self-diagnosis function. The
system state can be indicated by a
warning light on the instrument panel:
Each time after the ignition switch is
turned on, the airbag warning light
turns on for about 5s and then goes out
for longer than 5s, and the system can
be considered as normal.
If the airbag has already been
deactivated by a BYD authorized
service station, but the warning light
still turns on and goes out as above, it
