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.
They may be cracked by the impact force.
If the seat belt is cracked or worn, have it
replaced immediately.
Ensure the red release button of seat belt
buckle keeps upward or outward, so that seat
belts can be unfastened rapidly in 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.
Seats & Restraints
• 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 or components that may affect the normal
operation.
• 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.
