BYD AUTO
After inflating, the front airbags will
immediately deflate, so they won't interfere
with the driver's visibility, or the ability to
steer or operate other controls.
The total time for inflation and deflation is
one-tenth of a second, so fast that most
occupants are not aware that the airbags
deployed until they see them lying in their
laps.
There will be loud noise with the airbag
deploying, generally it not cause the hurt
(but it is possible to cause a drumming in
the ears or temporary audition loss, it will
be as soon recover).After a crash, you may
see what looks like smoke. This is actually
powder from the airbag's surface. Although
the powder is not harmful, people with
respiratory problems may experience some
temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out
of the vehicle as soon as it is safe.
How Side Airbag Works (optional)
There are two side airbags for the passenger
and driver. The airbags are installed on the
outer edge of front seat backs and marked
with "SRS SIDE AIRBAG‖.

F6 OWNER'S MANUAL
Possible Causes for Non-deployment
Airbags
If you ever have a moderate to severe side
impact, sensors will
deceleration and signal the control unit to
instantly inflate either the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag.
Only one airbag will deploy during a side
impact. If the impact is on the passenger's
side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy
even if there is no passenger.
To get the best protection from the side
airbags, front seat occupants should wear
their seat belts and sit upright and lean
against their seat backs.
Friendly tips
Using airbags unauthorized by BYD
may decrease the airbag capability or
cause accidental hurt to the passengers.
Never place the anything between the
side airbag and the passengers.
Do not pose heavy stress on the seat
side where side airbags are equipped.
