Driver and Passenger Safety Important Safety Precautions

You’ll find many safety recommendations throughout this section, and throughout this manual. The recommendations on this page are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Always Wear Your Seat Belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, but they are designed to inflate when the vehicle activate in response to a severe frontal impact or other special impact. So even though your vehicle is equipped with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts, and wear them properly.

Restrain All Children

Children should be properly restrained in a back seat not in front seat. That is the best safety. Infants and small children should be restrained in a child booster when they can not wear seat belt.

Be A ware of Airbag Hazards

While airbags can save lives, they can cause serious or fatal injuries to occupants who sit too close to them, or are not properly restrained. Infants, young children, and short adults are at the greatest risk. Be sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual. (refer to 7th page)

Don’t Drink and Drive

Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction gets worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and drive, and don’t let your friends drink and drive, either.

Control Your Speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum speed posted.

Keep Your Vehicle in Safe Condition

Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous. To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance (refer to 114

page)

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Safety equipment

Your vehicle is equipped with many features that work together to protect you and your passengers during a crash.

Some features do not require any action on your parts. These include a strong steel framework that forms a safety cage around the passenger compartment, front and rear crush zones will absorb the impact energy with crumpled in a crash, a collapsible steering column, and tensioners that tighten the front seat belts in a crash.

However, you and your passengers can’t take full advantage of these features unless you remain sitting in a proper position and always wear seat belts. In fact, some safety features can contribute to injuries if they are not used properly.

The following pages explain how you can take an active role in protecting yourself and your passengers。

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Three-point safety belt

Such type seat belt use a single belt across your shoulders, chest and hip.

To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle. After inserting the tab, then tug on the belt to make sure the tab and the buckle are locked.

To release the belt, press the red buckle-release button and allow the belt to retract.

To release the belt, press

the red buckle-release button and allow the belt to retract. Your seat belt system also includes an indicator on the instrument panel and a buzzer to remind you and your

passengers to fasten your seat belts.

Safety belt tensioner（optional）

Automatic tensioner is mainly designed to affect and activate in any collision severe enough to cause the front airbags to deploy. When the airbag system is active during a crash, the automatic tensioner also can provide help.

When the automatic tensioners are activated, seat belts will maintain tight state until they are unlocked by using normal manner.

The SRS light will be lit

up to alerts you to a potential problem with your seat belt tensioner. (refer to 20th page).

Friendly tips

1 Seat belts are designed to support the body's bones. So wear the seat belts across the front of the pelvisl as low as possible, that is to say, the belts should across the pelvis, chest and shoulder. Which means should avoid part of belt acrossing the abdomen.

2 Wearing seat belts should be taut with the principle of comfort, so that the design can achieve the protective effect. Relaxation seat belts will greatly reduce the protection function.

3 Not wear twisted seat belts. 4 Each seat belt can only be used by one person. Seat belts bypass in the arms of children is extremely dangerous.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Airbag

Your vehicle has a supplemental restraint system (SRS) with front airbags to help protect the heads and chests of the driver and a front seat passenger during a moderate severe frontal collision

Side airbag (optional)

Your vehicle has side airbags to help protect the upper torso of the driver or a front seat passenger during a moderate severe side impact.

Friendly tips

1．Airbags do not replace seat belts.

They are designed to supplement the seat belts.

2．Airbags offer no protection in rear impacts, or minor frontal or side collisions.

3．Airbags can pose hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with tremendous force. So while airbags help save lives, they can cause minor injuries or more serious or even fatal injuries if occupants are not properly restrained or sitting properly.

What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far away from the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A front passenger should move their seat as far away from the dashboard as possible.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Seat and seat back

This vehicle seat’s design allows you to maintain a comfortable, straighten sitting, and are able to farthest obtain the protection provided by the energy absorption material of seat belts and seats.

How to adjust your seat and seat back could also affect your safety. For example, near the steering wheel or dashboard too closed will increase the possibility that you or passengers are injured by the in floatable airbag or goods inside.

If the seat backrest is too tilted, which will reduce the protective effect of the seat belts. That will increase the possibility of serious injury as felling out from wearing seat belts.

What you should do: Try to motion front belt backward, and maintain the adjustable

seatback always vertical state driving.

Headrest

Headrest can be prevented neck sprains and other injuries. In order to get the best protective effect, adjust your head restraint to make your occiput rest against the center

of the headrest.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Table of safety inspection before driving

To ensure that you and your passenger can be protected maximum by the security facilities protection of vehicles, please check the following matter each time before driving:

1.Be sure all adults and children with no suitable protection device always wear seat belts and wear them properly.(refer to 6

page)

2．All infants should be placed in properly the child protection unit in the back seat. (refer to 10th page)

3．A front passenger should sit upright and as far away from the steering wheel and dashboard as possible.

4．Seat back should remain upright.

5．Adjust headrest correctly.

6．After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure the doors are closed and locked.

Your vehicle has a door and

trunk open monitor on the instrument panel to indicate when a specific door or the trunk is not tightly closed.

7．All baggage must be properly stored and fixed good.

Other parts of this chapter will be more detail on how to ensure your safety maximum.

Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can occur in a severe crash, even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags deploy.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Advice to pregnant woman

1.The best way to protect your unborn child is protect yourself well. So when driving or riding in a vehicle is to always wear a seat belt, and keep the lap part of the belt as low as possible across the hips.

2．When driving, remember to sit upright and adjust the seat as far away from the steering wheel and dashboard as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. This will reduce the risk of injuries to both you and your unborn child hat can be caused by a crash or an inflating front airbag.

Friendly tips

Each time you have a checkup, ask our doctor if it’s okay for you to drive.

Advice to genearch

1．Never hold an infant or child on your lap. If you are not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could be thrown forward and crush the child against the dashboard.

2．Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt could press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.

Friendly tips

1．Never let two people use the same seat belt. If do that, they could be very seriously injured in a crash.

2．Do not add any other accessory to the seat belt.

3．Do not place the hard or sharp objects between you and positive airbag.

4．Do not attach or place articles in the

cover of airbag.

5．In some cars equipped with side air bags,

not in the side door or door attachment hard object

6．Do not make hand or arm near the cover of airbag.

7．Use childproof door locks to prevent children from opening the doors. This can prevent children from accidentally falling out.

8 ． Please use the main switch power windows, prevent children from playing

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

with power windows, or else they might be dangerous when their body are out of the car window.

9．Do not leave children alone in a vehicle. A child left alone with the key in the ignition switch can accidentally set the vehicle in motion, possibly injuring themselves or others.

Extreme danger！

Under the section 94 of ECE regulations:

Do not place a rear-facing child seat in the front seat with airbag.

Side air bag inflating resulting in serious injuries or even death if body physical tilt forward on the front door.

To remind you of dangerous side airbags, your vehicle is posted with warning signs on both sides of the front door frames.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Supplementary data for airbag

Your (SRS) includes: 1．Two SRS (supplemental restraint system) front airbags. The driver’s airbag is stored in the center of the steering wheel; the front passenger’s airbag is stored in the dashboard. Both are marked ‘‘SRS AIRBAG’’

2．Two side curtain airbags, one for each side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored in the ceiling, above the side windows. The front and rear pillars are marked ‘‘SRS SIDE AIRBAG’’ (refer to 52

page)

3．Automatic front seat belt tensioner, can tension the seat belt with a moderate to severe frontal impact. (refer to 6

page)

4．Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe frontal impact.

5．A sophisticated electronic system that continually monitors and records information about the sensors, the control unit, the airbag activators, the seat belt tensioners, and driver and front passenger seat belt use when the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position.

6．An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem with your airbags, sensors, or seat belt tensioners and so on. (refer to 26

page)

7．Emergency backup power in case your vehicle’s electrical system is disconnected in a crash.

How does front airbag works

If you ever have a moderate to severe frontal collision, sensors will detect the vehicle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of deceleration is high enough, the control unit will instantly inflate the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, at the same time activate automatic seat belts tensioner.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

During a frontal crash, your seat belt restrains your lower body and trunk, and the front airbag helps protect your head and chest. The belt pretensions will tighten and lock seat belts to maintain your in-situ fixed.

Although both airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy.

This can happen if the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.

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.

The loudly noise will with the airbag deploying, generally it not cause the hurt (but eliminate the possible of a drumming in the ears or temporary lost audition, it will be as soon as well).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.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

How does side airbag works （optional）

There are two side airbags for passengers and you. The airbags are stored in the front seat side near to windows where are marked "SRS SIDE AIRBAG”.

If you ever have a moderate to severe side impact, sensors will detect rapid 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 well back in their seats.

Friendly tips

Using the airbags what are not the BYD airbags may causes the decrease for the airbag capability or accidental hurt for the passengers. Never place the anything between the side airbag and the passengers. Do not stress over force on the seat side

that are equipped with side airbags.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

The possible causes for nodeploy airbags

If the circs occurred as the above illustration, the airbags may do not deploy.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

The possible causes for airbag deploying

The airbags may deploy if the vehicles

during the severe impact from the bottom as

the above illustration.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Friendly tips

1. Airbag is designed to match the

certain vehicle model, the tire size, bumpers, chassis and the like original equipment with any change may infect the function of the airbags. In addition, prohibit taking any airbag parts to other vehicle model, otherwise it might lead to safety airbag system failure, resulting in personal injury.

2. When the vehicle dashboard

occur abnormal information or can not display the relevant information normally (for example, abnormal speed, seat belt wearing information, etc.), timely get maintenance from service stations, otherwise it will lead to system failures or abnormal work.

3. During driving, please wear the

seat belt right and maintain a good sitting. If you do not wear seat belts or sitting is not correct, then the deploy airbag in the accident will aggravate the risk of injury.

4. Maintain the distance between

chest and the steering wheel at least 25 cm for the driver is very important, so as to trigger the system make the driver get the most effective protection.

5. Don’t attach, cover or decorate

any objects on the steering wheel surface and the front seat air bag covers. Clean these two places with dry or moist duster cloth. Strong knock at these two places is not acceptable.

6. Don’t let child passenger sit in the

front seat without protection. If a collision triggers the air bag, the child passenger may get seriously injured or even killed.

7. Don’t stay or put any animals or

objects near the driver, the front seat passenger and the air bags. It is extremely dangerous for an adult to hold a child on the laps.

8. Don’t install phone holder, cup,

ash tray or any other attachments to the air bag cover or function area. Otherwise, accidents triggering air bags will increase the possibility of human injuries.

9. Don’t make any modifications to

all components of the air bag system, including corresponding labels.

10. Any modifications for the air

bags, including the repair other parts (such as removal of the steering wheel) can only be made in the BYD dealers or franchised maintenance stores.

11. The air bag system must be

replaced in the BYD dealers and franchised maintenance stores within 10 years since the manufacture date (the date in the vehicle license and vehicle label in the engine). Please keep a record if the system is replaced before the date.

12. . The air bag can only provide

one-time protecting function. Once the air bag is triggered or damaged, the system must be replaced.

13. . Please hand our materials to the

next owner of the vehicle. Please notice that if the air bag is shut down, hand this information to the next owner as well.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

14. When disposing the components

of the vehicle or the air bag system, please comply with correlative safety regulations and disposal procedure. The disposal must be conducted by the BYD dealers or related resources departments.

15. The air bag system has relatively

strong anti-interference ability against the surrounding electromagnetic interruption. However, in case of accidents, please don’t operate the vehicle under the electromagnetic environment that is not permitted by the government.

16. BYD F6 takes full consideration

of various kinds of misuses and road conditions. However, don’t allow serious crashes happen in the bottom of the vehicle or drive toughly in poor road conditions in order to prevent accidents.

Shut Down Air Bags

In some occasions, shut down air bags for the driver and the front passenger in accord with regulations. These occasions include:

1. When it is impossible to keep 25cm

distance between the center of the steering wheel and the chest of the driver even though the driver seat is adjusted properly

2. When special equipment needs to be

installed for the disabled within the air bag function area.

3. When the front seats cannot maintain the

manufacturer’s setting location after adjustments due to some reasons

The air bag system shutdown has to be conducted by the BYD dealers or franchised service stores. After the shutdown, BYD dealers or franchised maintenance stores must label the specific places and keep records.

Friendly tips

If the air bag system needs shutdown in some special occasions, please go to the BYD dealers or franchised service stores. Otherwise, the serious injuries or death may be incurred.

In addition, please reopen the shutdown airbag as soon as possible in order to ensure the air bag recover its protecting function.

Supplemental Information

1. Please read this manual thoroughly. If you want to sell or demolish the vehicle, please notify the owner or demolish departments that the car is equipped with the air bag system, and recommend them to read the manual in details.

2. After the air bag inflation, please don’t touch any components of the air bag system (or scalds or poisoning may be caused), and let the BYD dealers or franchised maintenance stores handle the remains. Once the air bag system functioned, please install a new air bag system.

3. The front (side) air bags only function in case of frontal (side) collisions in certain degree. It doesn’t mean that the air bag system has problems when it doesn’t respond to the collision. The damages or unusual maintenances can influence the normal function of the system.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

How does SRS indicator works

The SRS indicator alerts you to a potential problem with your

airbags or seat belt tensioners. Equipped with side airbags in the vehicle, this indicator is also used to remind your driver with side air bags potentially dangerous (refer to 28th page)

When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, this indicator is on for 5 seconds and then extinguish. This tells you the system is working properly.

If the indicator is on at any other time, or does not come on at all, you should have the system checked by the BYD AUTO dealer. For example:

1．If the SRS indicator isn’t on after you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. 2．If the indicator stays on after the engine starts. 3．If the indicator is on or flashes while you drive. If you see any of these indications, the airbags and seat belt tensioners may not work properly when you need them. Then you should recourse the BYD AUTO dealer as soon as possible.

Friendly tips

Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.

Have your vehicle checked by a BYD AUTO dealer as soon as possible if the SRS indicator alerts you to a possible problem.

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Airbag maintenance

Your airbag systems included front airbag and side airbag (optional) are virtually maintenance free, and there are no parts you can safely service. However, you must have your vehicle serviced if:

1 An airbag ever inflates. Any airbag that has deployed must be replaced along with the control unit and other related parts. If a front airbag inflates, the seat belt tensioners must also be replaced. Do not try to remove or replace any airbag by yourself. This must be done by BYD AUTO dealer.

2 The SRS indicator alerts you to a problem. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible. If you ignore this indication, your airbags may not operate properly.

Only trained personnel can do it. Prohibit removing airbag modules and seat belts tensioning device from the vehicle. If the failure of engine flameout or air bags inflated or seat belts a tension worked shall be repaired or troubleshooting by BYD auto dealer.

Supplementary safety notice

1 Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together, airbags and seat belts provide the best protection.

2 Do not tamper with airbag components or wiring for any reason. Tampering could cause the airbags to deploy, possibly causing very serious injury.

For cars with side airbag

1 Do not expose the front passenger’s seat-back to liquid. If water or another liquid soaks into the seatback, it can prevent the side airbag cut off system from working properly.

2 Do not cover or replace front seatback covers without consulting your dealer. Improperly replacing or covering front seat-back covers can prevent your side airbags from inflating during a side impact.

The airbag and to further clarify matters (refer to 7

page).

F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Avoiding toxic to carbon monoxide

Your vehicle’s exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas. You should have no problem with carbon monoxide entering the vehicle in normal driving if you maintain your vehicle properly.

Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:

1． The vehicle is lifted for an oil change.

2．You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust.

3．The vehicle was in an accident that may have damaged the underside.

Friendly tips

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you.

Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.

High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed areas, such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even with the door open, run the engine only long enough to move the vehicle out of the garage

With the trunk open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into your vehicle interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the trunk open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown below.

If you must sit in your parked vehicle with the engine running, even in an unconfined area, adjust the climate control system as follows:

1．Please choose fresh air mode。

2．Please choose

mode.

3．Turn the fan on high speed. 4 ． Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.

Fuel saving

Driving custom

Moderate driving is helpful to save fuel. Rapid acceleration, abrupt cornering and hard braking use more fuel.

Always drive in the highest gear possible, it can make the engine run and accelerate more stably.

According to the traffic status, try to keep a constant speed. Every time you slow down and speed up, you vehicle uses extra fuel. Using cruise control (limit to some vehicle type) can save more fuel under appropriate driving condition.

Cool engine uses more fuel than hot engine, but it is not necessary to make it run in idle speed for a long time to preheating. NO matter how cold outdoor, you can drive the vehicle away after one minute that you start the engine. In this way, engine will rise temperature more quickly, and save more fuel. To reduce times of “cool starting”, you should arrange short mileage driving together.

The air condition puts an extra loading on the engine which makes it use more fuel. Close the air condition to reduce fuel consumption. Use the fresh-air ventilation when air temperature out of vehicle is proper.
