Introduction to the seatbelt
Many studies have shown that the correct use of seatbelts can effectively reduce the
casualties of passengers in the car in case of emergency braking, sudden steering or
collision accident. Please carefully read and strictly observe the following contents.
Note
●
Before driving, ensure that all the passengers in the car have correctly fastened the
seatbelts; otherwise, the passengers in the car are more susceptible to serious
physical injuries or even death in case of emergency braking or collision.
●
The seatbelts in the car is mainly designed on base of the size of the adult and are
not suitable for children; please choose the appropriate child restraint device based
on the ages and sizes of the children.
●
If a seatbelt is damaged or abnormal, it is recommended to contact BYD Auto
Authorized Service Station for confirmation and disposal immediately, do not use
the corresponding seat before confirmation.
■
Based on the special statement from BYD, the driver and passengers in the car must
wear the seatbelts in any time; otherwise, it may increase the possibility of injuries or
serious injuries in case of an accident.
■
The seatbelts provided for the car are designed especially for adults; please choose
the appropriate seatbelts based on the actual conditions.
■
Any child must sit in the rear seats and wear the seatbelt for protection. Based on
accident statistics, a child who uses a child restraint device correctly in the rear seat is
safer than one seated in the front seat.
■
Do not allow a child to stand or kneel in the rear seat. In case of an emergency braking
or collision, an unprotected child may be seriously injured or even death; likewise, do
not allow a child to sit on their laps, to avoid inadequate protection for the child in case
of an emergency braking or collision.
Seatbelt emergency locking (ELR) function
■
In case of a sharp turn, emergency braking or collision, when the passenger body
leans forward quickly, the seatbelt will be locked automatically to achieve effective
restraint and protection for the passenger; when the car is driven smoothly, the
seatbelt will be pulled out slowly and steady with the passenger movement, to ensure
free movement of the passenger.
■
If the seatbelt cannot be pulled out from the retractor, tighten and release the seatbelt
to smoothly pull it out from the retractor.
