1-2 Airbag system 25
■
The front airbag will be deflated immediately after inflation, without affecting the sight
of driver and the ability to operate the steering wheel or other control devices.
■
The airbags can be triggered quickly in several milliseconds, to provide additional
protection for the driver and the passengers in case of an accident.
■
When the airbag is triggered, it will send a loud noise but generally will not cause any
injury (but it does not exclude the possibility of damage the hearings, which will be
recovered quickly).
■
After a collision, there will be a smoke, which is the powder from the airbag surface.
Although the powder is non-toxic, a passenger with a respiratory illness may still feel
some temporary discomfort.
It is recommended to contact BYD Auto Authorized Service Station immediately in
following cases:
1. The airbag is inflated.
2. An accident in front of the car
(Shown green area) failed to trigger
SRS airbag.
3. The front passenger airbag cover is
scratched, cracked, or damaged.
