Seats

During driving, all vehicle occupants 
should have the seatback upright, sit 
well back in the seat and use seat belts 
provided correctly.

WARNING

 

y

Do not drive the vehicle unless 

the occupants are properly 
seated.  Never  let  passengers 
to ride in the cargo area or on 
top of a folded–down seatback, 
Persons not properly seated and/
or not properly restrained by seat 
belts can be seriously injured in 
the event of emergency braking 
or a crash. During driving, 
Passengers should not stand up 
or change seats while the vehicle  
is moving. Otherwise, severe

injuries can occur in the event of 
emergency braking or a crash.

Front seats precautions

Driver seat

WARNING

 

y

Sitting too close to a front driver 

airbag can result in serious injury 
or death if the front airbags 
inflate. The  National  Highway 
Traffic  Safety Administration 
“NHTSA” advises: Since the risk 
zone for driver airbag is the first 
50–75 mm (2–3 in.) of inflation, 
placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) 
from your diver airbag provides 
you with a clear margin of safety. 
This distance is measured from 
the center of the steering wheel 

to your breastbone. If you sit less 
than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, 
you can change your driving 
position in several ways: _ Move 
your seat to the rear as far as you 
can while still reaching the pedals 
comfortably. Slightly recline the 
back of the seat. Although vehicle 
designs vary, many drivers can 
achieve  the  250  mm  (10  in.) 
distance, even with the driver 
seat all the way forward, simply 
by reclining the back of the seat 
somewhat. If reclining the back 
of your seat makes it hard to see 
the road, raise yourself by using 
a firm, non–slippery cushion, or 
raise the seat if your vehicle has 
that feature.

 

y

If your steering wheel is 

adjustable, tilt it downward. This

points the airbag toward your chest 
instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as 
recommended by NHTSA above, 
while still maintaining control of the 
foot pedals, steering wheel, and 
your view of the instrument panel 
controls.

Front passenger seat

WARNING

 

y

Sitting too close to a front 

passenger airbag can result 
in serious injury or death if the 
front airbags inflate.  The front 
passenger seat should be as far 
from the airbag as possible with 
the seatback adjusted, so the front 
passenger sits upright.

Seat adjustment precautions

WARNING

 

y

Once a seat is adjusted correctly , 

rock it back and forth to make 
sure it is locked in position.

 

y

Do not adjust the seat in 

driving vehicle as the seat may 
unexpectedly move and cause 
the driver to lose control of the 
vehicle.

 

y

Be careful that the seat does not 

hit a passenger or luggage.

 

y

After adjusting the seatback, 

push your body back against the 
seat to make sure the seat is 
locked in position.

 

y

Do not put objects under the 

seats.
Otherwise, the objects may 
interfere with the seat–lock 

mechanism or unexpectedly push 
up the seat position adjusting 
lever and the seat may suddenly 
move, causing the driver to lose 
control of the vehicle.

 

y

While  adjusting  the  seat,  do 

not put your hands under the 
seat or near the moving parts. 
Otherwise, your hands or fingers 
may be caught and injured.

locked by pushing forward 
and rearward on the top of the 
seatback.And make sure the red 
mark on the button on the top 
of seatback can not be seen.

Seat belts—

—Seat belt precautions
BYD strongly urges that the driver and 
passengers in the vehicle be properly 

restrained at all times with the seat 
belts provided. Improperly positioning 
the seat belts can cause serious injury 
or death in a crash.
The seat belts provided for your vehicle 
are designed for people of adult size, 
who large enough to properly wear 
them.
If a child is large enough to properly 
wear seat belts, the child should sit in 
the rear seat and must be restrained 
using the vehicle’s seat belt. According 
to accident statistics, the child is safer 
when properly restrained in the rear 
seat than in the front seat.
If all children can’t be seated and 
restrained properly in a rear seating 
position, properly restrain the largest 
child in the front seat. If an accident 
occurs and seat belts are not worn 
properly, the force of the rapid inflation 
of the airbag may cause death or
