Airbag Triggering Conditions And Notes - BYD S1 EV User Manual

Airbag triggering conditions and notes

■
The airbag triggering conditions are as follows: The decisive factor of the airbag
triggering in case of a collision is related to the collision energy, the type of accident,
the collision angle, the obstacle and the driving speed; in case of a special collision,
the airbag system may be triggered.
■
The airbag is not triggered in case of any accident; it will not be triggered generally in
case of a minor frontal collision, rear collision or rollover. In these cases, the driver and
the passengers wearing the seatbelts normally can be protected normally.
■
Decisive factor for the airbag triggering: It will be produced in case of a collision and
the deceleration curve obtained by the electronic control unit (ECU) and the set value
will be compared and judged comprehensively and intelligently; if the signals such as
the deceleration curve generated and detected in the collision is lower than the
relevant reference value preset in ECU, the airbag will not be triggered, even if the car
is severely deformed in the accident.
■
In the settings of ECU of BYD airbag system, the common misuses and road
conditions have been fully taken into account. However, due to various causes and
forms of collision, for your safety, please strictly follow the user manual and drive your
car correctly, to avoid any misuse; otherwise the airbag will not achieve the desired
functions.
