seat belt

A seat belt, also known as a safety belt or spelled seatbelt, is a vehicle safety device designed to secure the driver or a passenger of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result during a collision or a sudden stop. A seat belt reduces the likelihood of death or serious injury in a traffic collision by reducing the force of secondary impacts with interior strike hazards, by keeping occupants positioned correctly for maximum effectiveness of the airbag (if equipped), and by preventing occupants being ejected from the vehicle in a crash or if the vehicle rolls over.
When in motion, the driver and passengers are traveling at the same speed as the vehicle. If the vehicle suddenly stops or crashes, the occupants continue at the same speed the vehicle was going before it stopped. A seatbelt applies an opposing force to the driver and passengers to prevent them from falling out or making contact with the interior of the car (especially preventing contact with, or going through, the windshield). Seatbelts are considered primary restraint systems (PRSs), because of their vital role in occupant safety.

    Seat Belt Light

    Seat Belt light remains illuminated. New to an MG ZS EV and notice that with all people in the car properly seated and belted, the seat belt warning light stays illuminated for perhaps 1 or 2 minutes before it goes out. Doesn't matter if remaining stationary or driving. Is this a fault or...

    Centre rear seat belt MG4 Trophy LR

    My car has three head restraints and three seat belts in the rear. I needed to carry four passengers recently and was shocked to find the centre belt would not reach the fixing latch with a slim passenger in place. Is this centre belt just for show and the car is really a four seater?

    Seat belt alarm

    Hello, I have a 2023 zs long range trophy and had to collect a lot of fruit and veg for a food bank. The back seats were folded down before the weight was put in but all the journey the seat belt alarm was going off. Is there anyway to deactivate this in the future please? Thanks

    Rear Seat Belt Warning

    In my country, Seat Belts are not mandatory in the rear seats only fronts. Is it possible to turn off the Warning for the Rear Seatbelt when someone is sitting behind?
