LEAVE HOME SAFE
as low as possible, just touch the thigh and be tightened
properly. In this way, seat belts can pass the applied force
to the strongest part of the child's body in the event of an
accident.
If the pre-tensioners have been activated,
the seat belts will still function as restraints
and must be worn in the event that the
vehicle remains in a drivable condition. The
seatbelt pre-tensioners should be replaced
at the earliest opportunity by an MG
Authorised Repairer.
If the shoulder belt is too close to the child's face or
neck, please buy and use a child boost cushion that meets
relevant law or standard. Children boost cushion can boost
children to the height where the shoulder belt cross just
the middle of the shoulder and lower the lap belt to hips.
The vehicle is fitted with seat belt pre-tensioners beside
some seat belt retractors. When medium or severe frontal
collision occurs and meets the condition to activate the
pre-tensioner, it will help to secure the seat belt to reduce
the forward motion of the occupant body.
Seat Belt Pre-tensioners
The seat belt pre-tensioners will only
be activated once and then MUST
BE REPLACED. Failure to replace the
pre-tensioners will reduce the efficiency of
the vehicle's restraint system.
The airbag warning lamp on the instrument pack will
alert the driver to any malfunction of the seat belt
pre-tensioners (see 'Warning Lamps and Indicators' in the
'Instruments and Controls' chapter).
The seat belt pre-tensioners can only be activated once.
After activation in a collision, they must be replaced. This
may also involve replacement of other SRS components.
Please refer to 'Replacement of SRS Components' in
'Airbags' of this section.
