7Seat belt
1
Safety operation instruction
General description
All seats in the car are equipped with a three-
point safety belt.
The height of the fulcrum on the front seat belt is
adjustable, and the pretension is installed in the
lower retractor.
In some models, the left rear seat belt has a
preload force limiting function. In the middle of
the rear seat of the vehicle, the safety belt has a
double-lock tongue structure, which is used
differently than other seat belts. (See “Wearing
the Seat Belt in the Rear Seat” on page 012)
For driving safety, all drivers and passengers
must wear seat belts correctly.
Proper wearing of the seat belt can limit the
occupants to the appropriate position, effectively
preventing the occupants from colliding with the
interior parts and absorbing a lot of kinetic energy,
reducing the degree of damage to the occupants.
At the same time, proper wearing of the seat
important prerequisite for the protection of the
airbag. At the moment of deployment of the
airbag, the body position, sitting posture and
movement of the occupant have a greater
influence on the protection effect of the airbag.
Failure to properly wear the seat belt and
abnormal seating posture may result in the
vulnerable parts of the driver's head and neck
being injured by the instantaneous impact force
when the airbag is deployed. Especially for
children, this damage can be fatal. In the moment
of collision, the seat belt can restrain the upper
body of the driver and passenger in time ,
ensuring that the inside of the vehicle is within
the protection range after the airbag is deployed,
so that the airbag can function most effectively.
Warning
In order to reduce the risk of casualties in
an accident, it is important to strictly
observe the following:
●
As long as the vehicle is driving, the
driver must always wear a seat belt. This
will reduce the damage to the vehicle
during emergency braking and traffic
accidents.
●
It is strictly forbidden to wear the same
seat belt (even if it is a child).
●
Pregnant women or those who need care
from others must also wear seat belts. If
you do not wear the safety belt, you may be
seriously injured.
●
Loose clothing (such as a coat) before
wearing the seat belt to avoid affecting the
fit of the seat belt to the body and its
protective function.

Seat belt 8

Safety operation instruction
Warning
●
When wearing a seat belt, the seat belt
must not be crushed with fragile or sharp
objects (such as glasses, ballpoint pens, etc.)
as this may result in injury to the occupants.
●Make sure that the buckle socket is not
caught by foreign objects, otherwise the lock
tongue cannot be inserted into the buckle.
●The locking tongue 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.
●The seat belt must be kept clean at all
times, and a heavily soiled seat belt may
cause the retractor to become unsmooth.
●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. All
parts of the seat belt should be inspected
regularly for properness.
Warning
●In the event of a serious collision, the used
seat belt or the stretched safety belt should be
replaced at the Beijing Auto Special Dealer,
and even if no obvious deformation on the
appearance, it needs to be replaced. Also
check the seat belt fixing device.
●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.
The maintenance of the seat belt parts should
be carried out by the Beijing Auto Special
Dealer.

the safety belt firmly to check if the adjuster is
securely locked.
Warning
●The driver must not adjust the seat belt
height while the vehicle is running.
Seat belt preload force limiting function *
Some models of seat belts are equipped with a
pre-tensioning force limit device that is equipped
to ensure that the seat belt secures the occupant's
body during a crash. When the severity of the
collision accident reaches a certain level, the pre-
tensioning force limiting device may be activated,
and the retractor tightens the seat belt in the
rewinding direction to slow the occupant's
forward movement. If the tightening force
exceeds a certain limit, the force-limiting device
will relax the seat belt and reduce the force acting
on the body.
Caution
●Seat belts with pretension function can
only be used once. A new seat belt must be
replaced after the pretension
has been
detonated. Pretension This is normal and
does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
●
The seat belt pretension will become
very hot after the detonation, so do not
touch the relevant parts within a few
minutes after the pretension is detonated.

The consequences of the driver and passenger
not wearing a seat belt
Many people think that in the event of a mild
collision, it is a misunderstanding to use your
own hands to support your body from injury.
The driver and passenger who are not wearing
the seat belt will move forward at the speed
before the collision due to inertia. At this time,
the vehicle does not move at the same speed as
the driver and the passenger may be injured.
Drivers and passengers who are not wearing seat
belts will throw forward after the vehicle collided,
which will not only hurt the yourself, but also
endanger to other people in the car.
Warning
●It is useless to protected by hands if a
strong collision happened, so that it is
impossible to withstand the serious
damage or hurts.
Wear seat belts correctly
Wear front seat belts
Before using the seat belt, first adjust the front
and rear seats, height* and backrest angle to the
appropriate position. (Driver seat adjustment
See page 130, front passenger seat adjustment
parameters See page 132)

Safety operation instruction
It can provide protection, but it is likely to cause
other serious injuries.
Warning
●Do not wrap the seat belt when using the
seat belt. When the seat belt is wrapped
around the bo
dy, 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 compromising comfort,
which will provide better protection. The
lack of a seat belt will greatly reduce the
protection of the user.
Seat belt lock
Slowly pull the seat belt out of the retractor, then
insert the locking clasp into the buckle you hear
the “click” clasp, then pull back on the seat belt
to confirm reliable locking.
Seat belt adjustment
Gently pull the seat belt to adjust the length of the
belt, and adjust it to a comfortable position as
required.
First, lower the lower part of the seat belt as far
as possible, and cross the hip as much as possible,
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,
reducing the chance of internal injuries to the
abdomen.
