Seat belt overview
|
Warning
|
• |
Before driving, all occupants must fasten their seat belts correctly. A seat belt is intended for one person. Do not let anyone, including children, sit in your lap. Doing so is illegal and could result in death or serious injury. |
|
• |
Do not remove, modify, or install any items that might affect the seat belt routing or tension, and do not insert foreign objects into the seat belt buckle. Doing so could affect the seat belt system, which could result in death or serious injury |
|
• |
If there is suspicion of damaged seat belts, or if the car has been involved in a collision, the car must be brought to a Zeekr Hi-Tech Service Center or an approved service partner to have the seat belts inspected and potentially replaced. Damaged seat belts might not appear damaged, but could result in death or serious injury. |
|
• |
The seat belt system has no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair or modify it. Doing so could lead to death or serious injury. |
|
• |
Do not clip or hook the seat belt to hooks or other interior fittings, or place anything between you and the seat belt, such as a cushion. Doing so prevents the belt from tightening properly and could lead to death or serious injury. |
|
All car occupants must always use seat belts. Each occupant must also be in their own seat and use the corresponding seat belt and buckle for that seat (the belt buckle closest to your hip, on the opposite side of you from where the seat belt is located). The seat belts are designed for adults, but can work for children if they are using the correct form of child restraint. For more information, see
Child safety.
In the event of a collision, a correctly fastened seat belt will greatly reduce the risk of death or serious injury. If you are involved in a collision, properly wearing your seat belt could save your and others' lives.
The seat belt retractor locks automatically if the seat belt is pulled too quickly and in certain driving situations.
Seat belt reminder
The driver display shows the seat belt symbol
if a seat is occupied but the corresponding seat belt is not buckled. There is also a visual representation showing the status of each seat as follows:
|
• |
White symbol – seat occupied and seat belt buckled |
|
• |
Grey symbol – seat not occupied |
|
• |
Red symbol – seat occupied but seat belt not buckled |
The seat belt reminder activates under the following conditions:
|
• |
If the driver or front passenger is not wearing a seat belt while the car is in motion. |
|
• |
If the seat belt of an occupied seat is unbuckled while the car is in motion. |
If any of the conditions are met, the seat belt symbol
appears on the driver display. When the car reaches 25 km/h, or the car has driven for more than 500 meters, there is also an audible signal. When the speed reaches 40 km/h, the car has driven for more than 500 meters, or 28 seconds have passed, the audible signal increases in intensity. If the driver continues driving, the audible signal turns off, but the seat belt symbol
remains active until all occupants have fastened their seat belts. The same thing happens if the seat belt is released while the car is moving. If all occupants have fastened their seat belts but the seat belt reminder is still active, park the car immediately and contact a Zeekr Hi-Tech Service Center or an approved service partner.
To adjust the volume of the seat belt reminder signal:
|
1. |
Navigate to  .
|
|
2. |
Select the desired system notification volume. |
Note: The seat belt reminder can be triggered by heavy objects on the seat.
Check the seat belt
The seat belt is a vital safety component, and it should be inspected regularly.
To inspect the seat belt:
|
• |
Check whether the seat belt is misshapen or dirty. |
|
• |
Check the seat belt for cuts, burns, or other wear. |
|
• |
Insert the seat belt tongue into the buckle until it clicks into place. Pull the seat belt in the opposite direction. The seat belt should not budge. |
|
• |
Pull quickly on the seat belt to check that it tightens automatically. |
If you detect any issues with the seat belt, contact a Zeekr Hi-Tech Service Center or an approved service partner.
Clean the seat belt
|
Warning
|
• |
Do not use aggressive chemicals like bleach, dye, or chemical solvents when cleaning the seat belt. Doing so might severely weaken the seat belts, possibly causing them to fail completely, which could result in death or serious injury. |
|
Use gentle detergents and soft brushes to clean the seat belts. To avoid mold growth in the retractor, keep the seat belts fully extended and let them air dry completely before retracting them.
Use the seat belt
Fasten the seat belt
Before fastening the seat belt:
|
• |
Make sure the seat is as upright as possible (do not recline the seat further than necessary). |
|
• |
Make sure the seat is raised enough for the belt to sit across your shoulder. Avoid letting the belt chafe against your neck. |
|
• |
Make sure the seat buckle is clean and free from foreign objects. |
|
• |
Use only the belt buckle matching the seat belt. |
|
• |
Remove all slack from the seat belt by pulling upward from above the belt buckle, and make sure it is not twisted. |
|
• |
Avoid wearing the seat belt over bulky clothing that could prevent the belt from fitting tightly against your body. |
To fasten the seat belt:
|
1. |
Adjust the seat to the right position.
|
|
2. |
Pull the seat belt slowly out of the retractor.
|
|
3. |
Insert the tongue into the buckle until it clicks into place.
|
|
4. |
Pull the belt back towards the retractor so it fits tightly.
|
Release the seat belt
Press the red button on the seat belt buckle to release the tongue from the buckle.
Hold on to the seat belt while releasing it to ensure it does not retract too quickly or twist, and make sure the belt fully retracts.
Seat belt pre-tensioner
|
Caution
|
• |
The retractor becomes very hot after a collision, do not touch it. Doing so could lead to minor injury. |
|
• |
Lots of dust and smoke is generated when the retractor is triggered. This can irritate both eyes and skin. Leave the car as soon as possible after a collision, and if irritations occur, wash eyes and/or skin immediately. If the irritation remains, seek medical attention. |
|
The seat belt pre-tensioner and the seat belt retractor work together to tighten the seat belt during certain types of collisions, depending on impact angle and severity, to keep the occupant in an optimal position.
Only the front seats and rear outer seats have a seat belt pre-tensioner. For the front seats, the pre-tensioner is part of the seat belt's retractor mechanism and the seat. For the rear outer seats, the pre-tensioneris part of the seat belt's retractor mechanism.
Note: The dust and smoke generated from the retractor is not hot enough to cause a fire.
