The airbags together with the seat
belts provide optimum protection

for infants. The seat belt and

are not designed for protecting

The Airbag Supplementary Restraint System
generally consists of:
• Front Airbags (fitted to the centre of the
steering wheel and dashboard above the
glove compartment)
• Seat Side Airbags (fitted to the outer side
of the seat squab)
• Side Head Impact Protection Airbags
(fitted behind the headlining)
• Airbag Control Module
Please note that this is model and trim level
dependant.
In the corresponding position where airbags
are fitted, there is a warning sign stating
‘AIRBAG’.
Airbag Warning Light
The airbag warning light is located
in the instrument pack. If this lamp does
not extinguish or illuminates during driving,
it indicates that there is a failure in the SRS
or seat belt. Please seek an MG Authorised
Repairer at the earliest opportunity. An SRS
or seat belt fault may mean the components
may not be deployed in the event of an
accident.
