Protection Provided By Seat Belts - MG ZS Manual

Protection Provided by Seat Belts

It is of equal importance for passengers in the
rear seat to fasten their seat belts correctly.
Otherwise, passengers with seat belts not
correctly fastened will be thrown forward in
accidents, and will endanger themselves as
well as the driver and other passengers.
When the vehicle is in motion, the travelling speed of the
occupants is identical to that of the vehicle.
In the event of a 'head on collision' or emergency braking,
the vehicle may stop, but the occupants will carry on
travelling until they come into contact with a stationary
object. This object may be the steering wheel, dashboard,
windscreen or front seats.
A correctly fastened seat belt will eliminate this risk of
injury. When the seat belt is worn correctly, it will lock
automatically in collision accidents or emergency braking
to reduce your speed together with the vehicle, so as
to prevent the out-of-control movement which may cause
serious injury to driver and passengers.
