1. Important Safety Precautions
1. Important Safety Precautions
◆Be sure to fasten the seat belt correctly
The seat belt is the best protection device in the event of a
collision. Airbags are only designed as auxiliaries, rather than
replacements, of the seat belts, so even if the vehicle is equipped
with airbags, make sure that you and the passengers always
fasten the seat belts correctly.
◆Do not leave children in an unattended vehicle
Do not leave children in an unattended vehicle, as injury or even
death may occur if they trigger a control device accidentally, or
when the vehicle is moved accidentally and collided with other
objects due to their mis-operation, and besides, the temperature
inside the vehicle may reach an extreme condition, depending on
the ambient temperature.
◆Protect all children
Children aged 12 or under should be properly restrained in the
rear seats rather than the front seats. Child safety seats shall be
used for infants and toddlers; and child safety seats and three-
point seat belts shall be used for older children.
◆Beware of danger of airbag
Airbags can save lives, but they can also cause serious or
fatal injuries to occupants who are too close to the airbags or
improperly restrained.
Airbags pose the greatest risk to infants, toddlers and short adults,
so please follow all instructions and warnings in this manual.
◆Never drink and drive
Drinking alcohol, even a little, will reduce your response capability,
and your reaction time after drinking will become longer, so
drinking and driving is strictly prohibited.
◆During driving, please abide by the road traffic safety
laws and yield to pedestrians.
◆Be sure to pay attention to driving safety
Traffic accident will occur if you are busy answering the phone
or handling other things so that you can not pay attention to road
conditions, other traffics and pedestrians during driving. Please
avoid distraction during driving.
◆Control speed
Excessive speed is one of the main causes of traffic accidents.
The faster the speed is, the greater the risk will be. Therefore,
please choose the appropriate speed for safe driving according to
the actual road conditions.
◆Regular maintenance
Tire burst or mechanical failure is very dangerous. In order to
reduce the possibility of such problems, please check the tire
pressure and status frequently, and carry out regular maintenance

1. Important Safety Precautions
Event data recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main
function of EDR is to record data in the event of certain collisions or
risk of collisions (such as airbag deployment or colliding with a barrier),
so as to help understanding the operation of the vehicle system. EDR
is specially used to record data related to vehicle dynamic control and
safety systems in a short period of time. However, depending on the
severity and type of collision, data may not be recorded.
The data specially recorded by the EDR of this vehicle include:
These data help better understanding the situation in the event of a
collision and personal injury, and are used to assist accident analysis.
NOTE
The EDR will record data only when a certain degree of collision
occurs to the vehicle; EDR will not record data during normal
driving.
EDR data disclosure
Except for the following circumstances, GAC Motor (Hangzhou) will
not disclose the data recorded in the EDR to third parties:

3. Instructions for safe operation
3.2 Seat belt
3.2.1 Why must you fasten the
seat belt
Protection of the driver and passengers by
seat belts
In the event of a vehicle collision, the seat belt,
if fastened correctly, can restrain the driver and
passengers in a proper position and slow down
the inertia of their forward movement, thus
preventing them from being thrown forward,
and at the same time allow airbags to give
them the best protection, thus reducing their
impact injury as much as possible.
In the event of a collision, the seat belt will
assist other safety systems in simultaneously
absorbing the energy generated by the
by the driver and passengers.
WARNING
Airbags cannot replace seat belts.
Regardless of the availability of airbags,
the seat belts should be fastened
correctly.
Consequences of not fastening the seat
belt
In the event of a collision, the driver or passenger
who does not fasten the seat belt will be thrown
forward due to inertia and thereby injured.
Even if the vehicle speed is very low, the force
acting on the human body in the event of a
collision is so great that the occupant cannot
control his or her body with hands at all. In that
case, the occupant who does not fasten the
seat belt will be thrown forward, and injured if
colliding with any interior objects.
