The seat belt pre-tensioners can only be
activated once. After activation they must be
replaced. This may also involve replacement
of other SRS components. Please refer to
‘Replacing Airbag System Parts’.
IMPORTANT
• Seat belt pre-tensioners will not be
activated by minor impacts.
• The removal or replacement of a
pre-tensioner must be carried out
by the technicians trained by the
manufacturer.
• 10 years from the initial date of
registration (or installation date of a
replacement seat belt pre-tensioner),
the seat belt pre-tensioners are
suggested to be replaced by an MG
Authorised Repairer.
Seat Belt Checks, Maintenance and
Replacement
Seat Belt Checks
Split, worn or frayed seat belts
may not function correctly in the
event of a collision, if there are any
signs of damage, replace the belt
immediately.
Always ensure the red release button
on the seat belt buckle is pointing
upwards to ensure easy release in
the event of an emergency.
Please follow the instructions below to
check the seat belt warning lamp, seat belt,
metal tab, buckle, retractor and fixing device
regularly:
• Insert the seat belt metal tab into the
corresponding buckle and pull seat belt
webbing close to the buckle quickly to
check that the belt clasp locks.
• Hold the metal tab and pull the seat belt
forward quickly to check that the seat
belt reel locks automatically, preventing
the webbing from extending.
• Fully extract the seat belt and visibly
examine for twists, fraying, splits or worn
areas.
• Fully extract the seat belt and allow to
return slowly to ensure continual and
complete smooth operation.
• Visibly examine the seat belt for missing
or broken components.
• Ensure the seat belt warning system is
fully functional.
If the seat belt fails any of the above tests
or inspections, contact an MG Authorised
Repairer immediately for repairs.
Seat Belts Maintenance
