BYD AUTO In general, the airbag system won’t be triggered in mild front collision or side collision accidents, in rear end collisions or in turn-over accidents. In such accidents, the seat belt, if fastened, can protect the driver in the normal way. The decisive factor for triggering the airbag system is the comprehensive intelligent comparison and judgment of the deceleration curve produced in a collision and acquired by the electronic control unit (ECU) and the set value.
BYD AUTO F0 Owner’s Manual The airbag may be triggered in the following accidents: Rear Crash Hit by other vehicles on the side Bumping into the wall with an angle Side rollover Hitting on protruding objects, a safety island or stones by the road Bumping into a deep hole The airbag possibly won’t be triggered in the above cases as shown in the figures.
