Instructions If An Accident Occurs
• Ensure the vehicle is in P, the parking brake is applied and the vehicle power system is OFF
• If any cables on the vehicle are exposed, in order to prevent electric shock or even death DO NOT
make any contact with any cable.
• If the vehicle catches fire, and the fire is small and slow, a carbon dioxide extinguisher can be used
to extinguish the fire, and contact the fire department as soon as possible; if the fire is large and
spreading quickly, immediately evacuate the vehicle and contact the fire department immediately.
• If the vehicle is involved in a collision and cannot be re-started, the master safety switch (MSD) MUST
be disconnected prior to rescue.
• When the vehicle is completely or partially immersed in water, switch off the vehicle power system
and evacuate the car immediately. The master safety switch (MSD) MUST be disconnected prior to
rescue or as soon as the vehicle is refloated/removed from the water. Observe the water/vehicle for
any abnormal signs such as excessive bubbles or noises, this may indicate battery short circuit issues, if
no signs are evident there should not be a shock risk from the bodywork and recovery can commence.
• If your car is being recovered by an independent recovery agent, please contact MG Authorised
Repairer for maintenance.
• The vehicle is supplied with a rescue information card (in the glove box). Please show the card to the
rescue personnel when they arrive.

The brakes and tyres need time to 'bed-in' and adjust to
the demands of everyday motoring. During the first 900 Drive Smoothly
miles, please avoid heavy braking where possible.
Anticipating obstructions and slowing down well in
advance, avoids the need for unnecessary acceleration and
harsh braking. A smooth driving style not only improves
battery/distance performance, but can reduce the amount
of wear on the brakes and tyres.
Avoid Driving at Maximum Speed

Power consumption and noise levels rise significantly at
higher speeds.
Driving Foreseeingly
Avoid roads with traffic congestion or traffic jams. Foresee
road congestion as early as possible and keep enough
distance to the front car during driving, and slow down
in time. Avoid stamping on the brake pedal for long time
if there is no braking need, which will cause friction plate

• Grip will be reduced, so please drive carefully. 4
• Reduce speed when it rains. Avoid aquaplaning (the

affecting steering and braking performance.
Driving through Water
Avoid driving through floods after heavy rain, which may
lead to serious damage to the vehicle.
141
STARTING & DRIVING
Check and Service
Check Tyre Pressures Regularly
Under-inflated tyres increase the rolling resistance of the
car which, in turn, increases power consumption. Over or
under-inflated tyres wear out more rapidly and also have a
detrimental effect on the car’s handling characteristics.
Do not Carry Unnecessary Loads

The additional weight of unnecessary loads wastes power,
especially in stop/start conditions where the car is
frequently required to set off from stationary.
Maintain Correct Four-Wheel Alignment

Maintain the correct wheel alignment. Avoid collisions
with the kerb and reduce speed on uneven road surfaces.
Out of specification wheel alignment will not only lead to
excessive tyre wear, but also increases the load and power
consumption.

the danger of aquaplaning, i.e. where a layer
of water prevents adequate contact between

The purpose of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is to

prevent the wheels from locking while braking, thereby
enabling the driver to retain steering control of the car.
The fact that a car is fitted with ABS must never tempt
the driver into taking risks that could affect his/her safety
or that of other road users. In all cases, it remains
the driver's responsibility to drive within normal safety
margins, having due consideration for prevailing weather
and traffic conditions.
Under normal braking conditions, ABS will not be

surfaces is to build up a wedge of material in front of
(or to the side of, if steering) the tyre contact patch.
This effect assists the car to stop when braking or to
change direction when steering.
No matter how hard you brake, you are still able to
continue steering the vehicle as normal.

Towing and Shipping
Towing Vehicle
When pushing or towing the vehicle onto the transporter, the speed must remain below 3mph (5km/h)and
be completed within 3 minutes.
When pushing or towing the vehicle onto the transporter, the driver's side seat belt should be inserted
into the lock and maintained in the inserted state in order to release the EPB.
Towing Hook
DO NOT use a tow rope that is twisted - or the towing hook may be unscrewed.
5
DO NOT tow the vehicle with the driven front wheels in contact with the road surface.
245
Your car is equipped with 2 towing eyes (located at the front and the rear of the vehicle), which are used for fitting the
towing hook in the tool kit. And the tool kit is placed beneath the loadspace floor. To fit the towing hook, remove the
small cover set into the bumper, then screw the towing hook via the small hole into the threaded hole in the bumper beam
(see illustration). Ensure the towing hook is fully tightened!
Note: The small cover removed may be secured to the bumper by a plastic cord.
Both towing points are intended for use by qualified recovery specialists to assist in the recovery of your car when a
breakdown or accident occur. They are not designed for towing other vehicles, and must NEVER be used to tow a trailer
or caravan.
246
Towing

Fuse Replacement Healthy and Blown Fuses
Fuse
Fuses are simple circuit breakers which protect the vehicle
electrical equipment by preventing the electrical circuits
from being overloaded. A blown fuse indicates that the
item of electrical equipment it protects stops working.
Check a suspect fuse by removing it from the fuse box and
looking for a break in the wire inside the fuse.
It is recommended to have spare fuses in the vehicle, which
can be obtained from a local MG Authorised Repairer.
IMPORTANT
• NEVER attempt to repair a blown fuse. ALWAYS
replace a fuse with one of the same rating.
• If a replaced fuse fails immediately, please contact an
MG Authorised Repairer as soon as possible.
