casualties of passenger within the vehicle in event of an emergency braking, sudden turn,
and collision accident. Therefore, to safeguard you and your family, please pay special
attention to and strictly abide by the “Warning” and “Notice” in this section.
Warning

be increased in event of an accident.
● It's recommended to arrange child onto the rear row seat and use seat belt and
appropriate child restraint system.
● No matter for front or rear row seat, do not allow child to stand or kneel on the seat.
In event of an emergency braking or collision, the unprotected child will be seriously
injured or even killed. Similarily, do not allow child to sit on your legs, otherwise the
child can’t be adequately protected.
● During the traveling of vehicle, all passengers within the vehicle must sit in the seats
and correctly fasten the seat belts. Otherwise, in event of an emergency braking or
collision accident, the personnel within the vehicle will be easily injured or even
killed.
Note

Seatbelt emergency locking (ELR) function:
■In event of a sudden cornering, emergency braking, or impact of vehicle or quick
forward tilting of passenger, the seat belt will lock automatically to realize the effective
restraint and protection for the passenger. However, during the stable traveling of
vehicle, the seat belt can be pulled out and retracted along with the slow and stable
movement of passenger and the passenger can move freely.
■In event of locking of seat belt due to fast retraction, pull tightly the seat belt and then
release to ensure the smooth retraction of seat belt.
