Seat Belts; Using Seat Belts - BYD SEAL 2023 Owner's Manual

Seat Belts

Seat Belts
Studies have shown that proper use
of seat belts can significantly reduce
casualties in emergency braking, sudden
steering or collisions. Please read the
following information carefully and
observe it strictly.
WARNING
Always have the seat belts
●
fastened while the vehicle is in
motion.
Before driving, make sure all
●
occupants are properly buckled
up to prevent serious injury or
death in emergency braking or in
a collision.
The seat belts are designed
●
primarily for adults and are not
intended for children. Make sure
to choose an appropriate child
restraint system according to your
child's age and size (see "Child
Restraint Systems").
If a seat belt is damaged
●
or malfunctions, immediately
contact a BYD authorized
dealer or service provider
for confirmation and handling.
Until then, do not use the
corresponding seat.
BYD has highly emphasized that all
●
occupants should always fasten their
seat belts while in the vehicle. Failure
to do so increases the risk of injury in
case of an accident.
It is recommended that children be
●
seated in rear seats and always
use seat belts and suitable child
restraints. In emergency braking or
12
collision, unprotected children may be
seriously injured and their lives may
be endangered. Likewise, do not allow
children to ride on someone's lap. This
will render the children not adequately
protected.
Seat Belt Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) Function
During the sharp turn, emergency
●
braking and collision process, or
when the occupant leans forward too
quickly, the seat belt automatically
locks to effectively restrain and protect
the occupant.
When the vehicle travels smoothly,
●
seat belts are pulled out and retracted
as the occupants move slowly and
smoothly, allowing the occupants to
move freely.
If the seat belt locks due to sudden
●
retraction, pull on the seat belt
webbing to create retractable slack in
order to pull out the seat belt.
Pretensioner and Force Limiter
Function*
When a severe front collision occurs
and the triggering conditions of the
pretensioner are met, the pretensioner
quickly retracts part of the seat belt and
locks it to improve the protection of the
occupant. The force limiter limits the
seat-belt restraint force to the occupant's
body to a certain extent so as to avoid
injury to the occupant due to an excessive
restraint force.

Using Seat Belts

1. Adjust the seat position and seatback
angle. (see Adjusting Front Seats).
