Seat belt
All seats in the car are equipped with
three-point seat belts.
The height of the upper fulcrum on the front
seat belt is adjustable. Some models’ front
seat belts have
pre-tightening force limiting function. For
driving safety, all passengers must wear
seat belts correctly.
Proper wearing of the seat belt can limit the
passengers to the appropriate position,
effectively preventing the passengers from
colliding with the interior parts of the vehicle
and absorbing a lot of kinetic energy,
reducing the damage to the passengers.
At the same time, the correct wearing of the
seat belt is also an important prerequisite for
the protection of the airbag. At the moment
of airbag deployment, the body position,
sitting posture and movement of the driver
and passenger have a greater impact on the
protection effect of the airbag.
Improper wearing of the seat belt and
abnormal seating posture may cause the
vulnerable parts of the head and neck of the
passenger to be injured
by the instantaneous impact force when the
airbag is deployed. Especially for children,
this kind of injury can be fatal. In the
moment of crash, the seat belt can restrain
the upper body of the driver and passenger
in time, ensuring that the people inside the
car is within the protection range after the
airbag is deployed, make the airbag work
most effectively.
Caution
In order to reduce the risk of accidents, the
following matters must be strictly observed：
●As long as the vehicle is driving, the driver
and passenger must always wear the seat
belt. This will reduce the damage to the
vehicle during emergency braking and traffic
accidents.
●It is strictly forbidden to wear one seat belt
for two person(even for children)
●Pregnant women or those who need care
from others must also wear seat belts. If you
do not wear a seat belt, you may be
seriously injured.
●take off the heavy clothe (such as big coat)
before wearing the seat belt, in order to
avoid seat belt not fit the

8
Caution
● When wearing the seat belt, it should not
be pressed against fragile or sharp things
(such as glasses, pens, etc.), otherwise the
passengers may be injured.
● Make sure that the buckle socket is not
stuck by other things, otherwise the lock
cannot be inserted into the buckle
● The locking of the seat belt must be
correctly inserted into the buckle. Wrong
wearing of the seat belt will affect the
protection of the seat belt.
● Seat belts must be kept clean at all times,
and heavily soiled seat belts may cause the
retractor rolling not smooth.
● If the belt webbing is broken or cracked,
the
fixing bolts are loose, and the retractor
malfunctions, the seat belt will not provide
protection in the event of an accident. You
should regularly check all parts of the seat
Caution
● In the event of a serious crash, the used
seat belt or the stretched seat belt should be
replaced at BAIC Service Center. Even if
there is no obvious deformation in the
appearance, it needs to be replaced. Also
check the seat belt fixtures.
● It is strictly forbidden to repair,
disassemble and install the parts on the
retractor or the seat belt. It is strictly
forbidden to modify the seat belt in any way.
Please repair the seat belt parts at BAIC
service center.
Seat belt height adjustment

to adjust the height of the fulcrum on the
seat belt to accommodate the shoulder
height of different driver and passenger.
1.Hold the lower end of the regulator guide
block 1.
2.Press the upper end lock button of the
guide block and hold it. 3.Move the guide
block up and down to adjust the seat belt to

5.After the height adjustment is completed,
pull the seat belt firmly and check that the
adjuster is securely locked.
Warning
● The driver is forbidden to adjust the seat
belt height while driving.
Seat belt pre-tightening force limiting
function
Some models¡¯ seat belts are equipped
with pretightening force limiting devices,
which aimed to ensure that the seat belt
fastens the passenger's while crash.
When the severity of the crash accident
reaches a certain level, the pre-tightening
force limiting device may be activated, and
the retractor tightens the seat belt in the
rewinding direction to slow the passenger's
forward motion.
If the tightening force exceeds a certain limit,
the force limiting device will release the seat
belt and reduce the force acting on the
body.
When the pre-tightening force-limiting
device is triggered, white smoke may be
emitted. This is a normal phenomenon. It
does not mean that the car has a fire, so
don't worry.
Caution
● The seat belt with pre-tightening function
can only be used once. A new seat belt must
be replaced after the pretensioner is
detonated.
● When the pre-tightening force-limiting
device is triggered, white smoke may be
emitted. This is a normal phenomenon. It
does not mean that the car has a fire, so
don't worry.
● The seat belt pretensioner will become
very hot after the detonation, so do not
touch the relevant parts within a few
minutes after the pretensioner is detonated.

10
The consequences of not wearing the
seat belt
Many people think that in the event of a mild
crash, you can use your own hands to
support the body and will be without injury, it
is absolutely wrong.
Driver and passengers who are not wearing
seat belts will move forward at the speed
before the crash due to inertia. At this time,
the vehicle does not move at the same
speed as the driver and passenger, which
may cause injury to the driver and
passenger.
Even if the speed of the car is very low, the
force acting on the human body in the event
of a frontal crash is great. The passengers
cannot support his body only using hands,
and the people who are not wearing the
seat belt will be forcefully thrown forward.
Hit the steering wheel, the dashboard, the
windshield, or any things on the way
forward.
Correctly fasten the seat belt
How to Wear a Front Seat Belt
Before using the seat belt, first adjust the
front, rear, height and backrest angle of the
front seats to the proper position.
The upper part of the seat belt is close to
the front chest and over the shoulder.
The lower part of the seat belt is close to the
hip and should not be applied to the
abdomen. If the seat belt is not used
correctly, it not only cannot provide
protection, but also may cause other serious
injuries

11
Warning
● Do not wrap the seat belt when using the
seat belt. When the seat belt is wrapped
around the body, it will increase the
pressure on the body of the seat belt and
reduce the protection of the seat belt.
● Seat belts should be tightened as much
as possible without affecting comfort, which
can provide better protection. The seat belt
is not fastened and will greatly reduce the
protection.
Seat belt lock
Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor,
then insert the locking bolt into the buckle
until you hear the “click” buckle, then pull
back the seat belt to confirm the reliable
lock.
Seat belt adjustment
Gently pull the seat belt to adjust the length
of the seat belt, and adjust it to a
comfortable position as required. First,
lower the lower part of the seat belt as far as
possible, across the hips, and then lift the
upper part of the seat belt upwards so that
the lower part of the seat belt is in close
contact with the body. In this way, the body's
strong pelvic area can withstand greater
impact, thereby reducing the chance of
internal injuries to the abdomen

12
Seat Belt Unfastened
Press the red button beside the buckle of
the seat belt, and the latch will automatically
eject. Hold the seat belt, then return it and
the tensioner will automatically retract it.
Wear the Rear Seat Belt
The rear seat belts are worn in the same
way as the front seat belts
Pregnant woman wears seat belt
If the driver is pregnant, to protect the safety
of the pregnant woman and the fetus, the
belt should be passed evenly through the
chest and in front of the hip as low as
possible, and then flattened so that the
lower abdomen is not under pressure

13
Children wearing seat belts
The seat belts for this model are designed
for adults. It is recommended that children
12 years of age and younger and children
up to 1.5 m in height use specially fitted
child restraints
Seat belt inspection and
maintenance
Seat belt reliability check
The seat belt retractor will lock the seat belt
slip when the following three conditions are
encountered
When the seat belt is quickly pulled out of
the retractor; when the vehicle is
decelerating rapidly;
When the seat belt retractor is tilted at a
large angle.
In order to check the reliability of the seat
belt, grasp the upper part of the seat belt
and pull it quickly. At this time, the retractor
should lock the seat belt. If the retractor
cannot lock the seat belt, please go to the
BAIC Dealer for inspection or repair.
