Airbags -> Airbag Deployment for Your Mg HS SUV Second Generation (2024-2026)

LEAVE HOME SAFE  
Airbag Warning Lamp  
Airbag Deployment  
Front seat passengers should not place  
feet, knees or any other part of the body  
in contact with or in close proximity to a  
front airbag.  
This vehicle is equipped with an airbag warning  
lamp to remind you of the state of the safety system.  
Refer to 'Warning Lamps and Indicators' in 'Instruments  
and Controls' section for details.  
To minimise the risk of accidental injury  
from inflating airbags, seat belts should be  
worn correctly at all times. In addition,  
both driver and front passenger should  
adjust their seat to provide sufficient  
distance from the frontal airbags, so as to  
avoid severe or even fatal injury when the  
airbag is deployed. If side airbags and side  
head impact protection airbags are fitted,  
both driver and front seat passenger should  
be seated to maintain sufficient distance  
from the upper part of the body to the sides  
of the vehicle, this will ensure maximum  
protection when the side airbags/side head  
impact protection airbags are deployed.

LEAVE HOME SAFE  
DO NOT knock or strike the position where  
any airbag related parts are located, so  
as to avoid accidental airbag deployment  
which may cause serious injury or even  
death.  
An inflating airbag can cause facial  
abrasions and other injuries if the occupant  
is too close to the airbag at the time of its  
deployment.  
When airbags are deployed, children  
without proper protection may suffer from  
serious injury or even death. DO NOT  
carry children in the arms or on the knees  
during traveling. Children should wear seat  
belts suitable to age. DO NOT lean out of  
windows.  
DO NOT affix or place any objects on or  
adjacent to the airbags. This may affect  
the airbag passage or create projectiles that  
may cause injury or serious harm in the  
event of airbag deployment  
In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit monitors  
the rate of deceleration or acceleration induced by the  
collision, to determine whether the airbags should be  
deployed. Airbag deployment is virtually instantaneous  
and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a  
loud noise.  
After deployment, the relative airbag  
components will become very hot, such as  
the steering wheel, instrument panel and  
both sides of the roof rails . DO NOT touch  
any airbag related components after airbag  
deployment, it may cause burns or serious  
injury.  
In the event of a severe frontal collision, a completely  
deployed airbag, along with a correctly worn seat belt,  
can limit the movement of the driver and front passenger,  
reducing the risk of head and chest injuries. For vehicles  
fitted with side airbags and side curtain airbags, when the  
vehicle encounters a serious side collision, the completely  
184  
LEAVE HOME SAFE  
deployed airbag will form a cushion of air between the  
occupant and the vehicle side to reduce the risk of body  
side injuries.  
IMPORTANT  
Airbags cannot protect lower body parts of  
passengers.  
When you sit upright in the seat and against the backrest,  
seat belts and airbags can provide the most effective  
protection. When encountering a serious collision, airbags  
will deploy drastically. At this moment, if you or other  
passengers do not use seat belts properly and lean forward,  
recline or sit in other incorrect postures, you or other  
passengers are likely to suffer from serious injury or fatal  
injury.  
Airbags are not designed for rear collision, minor  
frontal collision or if the vehicle rolls over, nor will  
it operate as a result of heavy braking.  
Deployment and deflation of the airbags takes place  
very quickly and will not protect against the effects  
of a secondary impact if it occurs.

When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released.  
This is not an indication of a malfunction. However,  
the powder may cause irritation to the skin and  
should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and any  
cuts or abrasions of the skin. If your skin, eyes, nose  
or throat etc feels uncomfortable, please consult a  
doctor.  
After inflation, front and side airbags deflate  
immediately. This provides a gradual cushioning  
effect for the occupant and also ensures that the  
driver's forward vision is not obscured.

LEAVE HOME SAFE  
Frontal Airbags  
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint  
falling into deep ravines or holes; or hitting the ground  
violently after jumping up.  
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG  
in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY  
to the CHILD can occur. Refer to ‘Disabling  
the Passenger Airbag'.  
Front seat passengers should not place  
feet, knees or any other part of the body  
in contact with or in close proximity to a  
front airbag.  
In extreme cases driving on very uneven  
surfaces may cause airbag deployment.  
Please take extra care when driving on  
uneven roads.  
Frontal airbags are designed to deploy during serious  
frontal impacts or similar impacts. Conditions described  
below or similar ones may cause airbag deployment.  
A frontal collision with unmovable or non deformable  
solid objects at a high speed.  
The vehicle chassis is seriously damaged. Conditions  
that can cause serious chassis damage, such as:  
a
collision with kerbstones, road edges or hard surface;
