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.

and keep appropriate distance from other vehicles and
slowdown as soon as possible. Do not ride the brake

Check Tire Pressures Regularly

Over or under-inflated tires wear out more rapidly

resistance of the car which, in turn, increases fuel
consumption.

Do not Carry Unnecessary Loads

The additional weight of unnecessary loads wastes fuel,

• Do not overload or excessively revolve the engine.
• Do not allow the flameout when the vehicle is driving

manual transmission needs to slow down while traveling
in high gear, downshift immediately to avoid insufficient
driving force.
• If the vehicle consumes too much oil, please have the

performance.
• If a misfire is suspected, or the vehicle lacks power while
driving, please have it serviced immediately.
• Do not drive on terrain likely to subject the underside

Fuse Replacement Comparison Before and After the Fuse is Blown

Fuse
Fuses protect the electrical appliances of the vehicle by
preventing the circuits from being burned down due to
short circuit or overload. A blown fuse may indicate that
the circuit under its protection is faulty and stops working.
If a fuse is suspected faulty, you may remove it from the
fuse box and observe if the metal wire in the fuse is blown.
It is recommended to take some spare fuses on the vehicle,
which can be obtained from an MG Authorised Repairer.

IMPORTANT

• For the blown fuse, please DO NOT attempt to

recover it or replace it with a fuse of different
ampere value, otherwise it may result in electrical
system damage or a fire due to overloaded wire.
• If the new fuse is immediately blown, please seek an
