SRS
As a supplemental restraint system
(SRS), airbag system is a supplement
to seat belts. It can provide extra
protection for heads and chests of the
driver and passenger and reduce
casualties in severe frontal crashes
The airbag system cannot take the
place of seat belts and is only a part
of the whole passive safety protection
system of the car. Note that the airbag
system has the best protection
performance only when working
together with fastened seat belts. For
the safety of yourself and your family,
please pay special attention to the
―Tips‖ and ―Notice‖ in this section.
TIPS
● Please keep the seat belt
fastened in driving.
● Please keep sitting in correct
posture so that the protection
effect of the seat belt and airbag
system can be taken into full play.
● Children shall be seated in rear
seats.
● Do not dismount parts of the
airbag without permission.
SRS Airbag Triggering Conditions
The airbag is designed to be triggered
under the following conditions: severe
frontal collision accidents and some
special collision accidents.
In case of minor front collision, side
collision, rear collision or roll-over,
generally airbag system won’t be
triggered. In such accidents, the seat
belt, if fastened, can protect the driver
and passenger in the normal way.
The decisive factor for triggering the
airbag system is the result of
judgment
through comprehensive
intelligent comparison of the
deceleration curve, which is produced
in a collision and acquired by the
electronic control unit (ECU), with the
set value. If the signals, such as
deceleration, 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
has taken various common misuse
and domestic road conditions into full
consideration. However, as causes
and conditions of crashes are widely
variable, for the sake of your safety,
please strictly abide by this manual to
use the car correctly and avoid
misuse; otherwise, the expected
protection effect of the airbag cannot
be ensured.
