Wearing Seat Belts - MG GT Manual

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 and others.
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.
