The seat belt is designed only for one passenger each time. It is not applicable to a passenger under 12 years old or under 150 cm high. Check all parts of the seat belt system for damage and abnormal function regularly. Please replace the damaged parts and components. It is strongly recommended to have the seat belt or deployed seat belt tensioner replaced at the JSW MG Authorized Service Center after an accident.
Seat Belt Force Limiter*
It is configured on the seat belts for the driver’s seat and the left seat of second row. For some models, the front passenger’s seat belt is also configured with a force limiter.
The force limiter can reduce the stress applied on the body through the seat belt damping release in case of a collision accident.
Seat Belt Pretensioner*
Depending on different models, it is configured on the seat belt for the driver’s seat, front passenger’s seat
of the left seat of the second row. In case of a severe head-on or rear-end collision, the front part of the seat belt will be tensioned.
The deployed seat belt pretensioner must be replaced by the MG Authorized Service Center. The seat belt pretensioner can only be deployed once.
Make sure that the seat belt is not damaged or clamped by a sharp object. Prevent dust from getting in the seat belt recoiler.
Improper operation (for example removal or installation of seat belt or seat belt anchor buckle) will trigger the seat belt tensioner, leading to injury risks.
Buckle the seat belt each time before driving the vehicle. In case of an accident, a passenger who does not buckle the seat belt may be at risk.
It is not allowed to add any accessory or other object that may interference with the operation of the seat belt. Do not change any seat belt component.
The seat belt shall not be buckled against a hard or fragile object in your pocket. otherwise, the hard object will hurt you and the fragile object may be damaged in case of emergencies.
Pay attention to prevent foreign matters from getting in the seat belt buckle (such as sunflower seed shell and button); otherwise, the seat belt buckle will fail.
Wearing
Loose or heavy clothing will hamper close wearing the seat belt. Do not place any object (such as handbag and mobile phone) between the seat belt and your body.
Height Adjustment*
Depending on different models, the front row seat belt of some models can be adjusted in height. Press the height adjuster of the seat belt upper fixing point and move it upward or downward. Release the adjuster after adjustment.
Unbuckle
To unbuckle the seat belt, please press the red button on the buckle.
Middle Row / Rear Row Seat Belt Left and Right Seat Belt

As shown in the figure, there is a clip on the trim panel near the second row seat backrest. Please hang the seat belt to the clip for fixing each time after use.
Middle Seat Belt of Rear Row
Wearing:
Seat Belt Use during Pregnancy
The seat belt provides protection for everybody, including a pregnant woman. Like all passengers, if pregnant women do not wear the seat belt, severe personal injuries are more likely to be caused to them. The pregnant woman shall wear the hip/shoulder seat belt during the whole pregnancy, and the hip belt shall be fastened as low as possible. The best way to protect a fetus is to provide safety protection to its mother. If the seat belt is fastened correctly, the fetus is not vulnerable to injury in case of a collision. For a pregnant woman or any person, correct wearing is the key to exert the best protection effect of the seat belt.
The hip belt shall be placed as low as possible to go across the pelvis, so as avoid force on the belly.
The vehicle is not equipped with a child seat. If you want to add one, a child seat that is applicable to ISOFIX” general” type can be selected. The child seat can only be placed on the second-row seat. The front seat is not equipped with the anchor system bracket. The statistical data of accidents show that placing the child seat on the second-row seat can largely improve the child safety
For a little child, a child seat shall always be used. Never hold a child with arms while riding in the vehicle. Never allow a child to stand or kneel on a seat or in the luggage compartment when the vehicle is running.
An unfixed child seat may be thrown out of the vehicle in case of a collision or emergency stop. The child seat must be correctly and securely fixed even if not in use.
If the child seat is put in a closed compartment in hot weather, the child seat temperature will be very high. Make sure that the child seat temperature is not very high before putting a child in the seat. If the child is too small and the seat belt cannot provide the best protection for it, please make sure that a proper child seat is used to provide safety protection.
Child Restraint System Type
According to AIS072/ECE R44, the child restraint system can be classified as the following 5 groups:
Group 0: for child with body weight less than 10 kg.
Group 0+:for child with body weight less than 13 kg.
Group I:for child with body weight more than 9 kg and less than 13 kg.
Group II:for child with body weight more than 15 kg and less than 25 kg.
Group III:for child with body weight more than 22 kg and less than 36 kg.
Please select a suitable child seat according to the child body weight and body figure.
For infants under one year old, their bones are very fragile, and a rearwardfacing child seat shall be used.

ISOFIX
To fix the child seat:
The size and configuration range of the child seat is very wide. Not all child seats are applicable to your vehicle due to the effects of the vehicle trim as well as the seat shape and size . It's your responsibility to ensure that the child seat installed matches with your vehicle and that the child seat can be connected correctly to the vehicle with the child seat anchor system. If the child seat does not match with your vehicle size and the child body structure or the connection to your vehicle is incorrect, severe personal injuries can be caused to the child and other passengers in the vehicle in case of a collision.
In case of a serious collision accident, the ISOFIX may be damaged. It may be necessary to repair and replace some parts. Please check the ISOFIX after a collision.

Depending on the vehicle configuration, the system includes the following air bags:
For all air bags, the letter” AIRBAG” is marked on the trim panel or the label near to its deployment opening. For frontal air bags, the letter ”AIRBAG” for the driver is located in the middle of the steering wheel, and that for the front passenger is located on the instrument panel. For lateral-impact air bags, the letter” AIRBAG” is located on the backrest side, near to the door. The letter ”AIRBAG” for side curtain air bags is located on the roof lining trim panel.
The air bag can supplement protection on the basis of correct wearing the seat belt. Although nowadays the air bags are designed to reduce the injury risks caused by the impact of force when the air bag is inflated, all air bags must be inflated rapidly to exert its effect.
The important notes about the air bag system are as follows:
Even if an air bag is equipped, you may also be injured seriously or lose your life in a collision accident if you do no use the seat belt. The air bag is designed to be used along with the seat belt but not to replace the seat belt.
If an occupant sits next to or get too close to the air bag, he/she may be injured seriously or lose life due to inflating of the air bag. Therefore, never sit too close to the air bag.
It is forbidden to let a child, infant, pregnant woman and the sick and weak sit on the front seat equipped with air bag. Never install a backwardfacing child seat on the front seat for the child may be injured seriously or lose life when the air bag is inflated. The seat belt and air bag can protect adults and adolescents but not children and infants. Children and infants need special child protection devices (such as child seat) to get corresponding protection.
On the instrument panel, there is an air bag indicator which displays the air bag shape symbol. The system will check whether the air bag circuit system has a fault and give corresponding prompt through the indicator. Refer to the Chapter ”Instruments and Controls” for detailed information.
Frontal Air Bag
As shown in Figure A above, the driver frontal air bag is located in the middle of the steering wheel.
As shown in the Figure B above, the front passenger frontal air bag is located in the passenger’s side instrument panel.
Front Seat Side Air Bag*
As shown in the Figure C, the front seat side air bag is installed on the backrest side near to the door.
Side Curtain Air Bag
As shown in the Figure D, the side curtain air bag is installed at the side wall and roof joint, on the roof lining or the trim panel.
If there is any other object between the occupant and the air bag, the air bag may not be able to be inflated normally or the air bag may cause the object to squeeze the occupant*s body when it is inflated, leading to severe injuries or even death. Please never use a seat accessory (such as seat jacket) that may hinder the inflating of the lateral-impact air bag.
When Shall the Air Bag Be Inflated?
The frontal air bag is designed to be inflated in moderate to severe head-on collision or almost head-on collision to reduce severe injury risks of the driver’s and the front passenger’s head and chest.
Whether the frontal air bag is inflated do not mainly depends on the vehicle running speed. It depends on the impacted object, impact direction and vehicle deceleration within unit time during collision.
The frontal air bag may be inflated in different collision speed. The air bag inflation depends on the impact direction (straight or in certain angle) at the moment of collision and whether the impacted object is fixed or movable, deformable or not and narrow or wide. Due to different design of each vehicle, the collision inflation conditions of the frontal air bag may vary. The frontal air bag will not be inflated in case of vehicle overturn, rear-end collisions and most lateral-impact collisions.
The frontal air bag may not be inflated in slight headon or nearly head-on collisions, lateral or diagonal collisions, collisions to cylindrical objects (such as telegraph pole and tree trunk), rear-end collisions under large vehicle (trucks, etc.) breast board and lateral glancing collisions. As per the design, the seat lateral-impact air bag and the side curtain air bag will be inflated according to the impact position in case of the moderate to severe lateral collisions.
The seat lateral-impact air bag and the side curtain air bag will not be inflated in case of head-on collisions, nearly head-on collisions, vehicle overturn or rear-end collisions. The seat lateralimpact air bag and the side curtain air bag may not be inflated in slight side collisions and lateral-frontal or diagonal collisions.
As per the design, the seat lateralimpact air bag and the side curtain air bag will be inflated on the side to which the vehicle is collided. The air bag will not be triggered in all collision accidents. For a particular accident, it shall not simply judge whether the air bag should be inflated according to the causalities, vehicle damage or repair and maintenance expenses. Your vehicle is equipped with a collision sensing and diagnosis module. If a collision accident reaches certain strength, the module may record relevant collision information after the collision. If you have any doubt on the working situation of your air bag in a collision accident, please contact the MG Authorised Service Center timely to provide professional analysis and diagnosis for you.
How is the Air Bag Inflated?
In the inflation process, the sensing system will send an electronic signal to trigger the gas generator; the generator will release gas to inflate the air bag and to make the air bag pops up from the cover plate. The gas generator, air bag and relevant members are all components of the air bag module.
How Does the Air Bag Provide Protection?
The air bag supplements protection provided by the seat belt by distributing the impact force more evenly to the occupant’s body. However, some occupants’ bodies do not move toward the air bags in collisions where an external object intrudes into the vehicle. The air bag cannot provide corresponding protection. The air bag shall only be deemed as a supplementary device of the seat belt.
What Will You See After the Air Bag is Inflated?
After the air bag is inflated, it will be deflated quickly. Somebody may not note that the air bag is ever inflated because the bleeding speed is very fast. For deflated air bag, some smoke and dust may come out from its air event.
When the air bag is inflated, there may be dust spread in the air. All persons in the vehicle shall get off the vehicle as soon as possible. If you have a breathing problem and cannot get off the vehicle, open windows or doors to get fresh air. If you have a breathing problem after the air bag is inflated, please see a doctor as soon as possible.
If the vehicle power supply system can still function normally after a collision, the vehicle has the functions of unlocking doors automatically, turning on the hazard warning lamp and cutting off the fuel system after the air bag is inflated. The driver can use the corresponding function switch to lock doors, turn off indoors lamps and turn off the hazard warning lamp.
The deployment of the front passenger air bag may also cause damage to the windshield.
The air bag can only be inflated once as per its design. After the air bag is inflated, some parts of the air bag system need to be replaced. If you do not have these parts replaced, the air bag system will be unable to provide protection in next collision accident. The air bag system parts that shall be replaced include the air bag module, air bag control module, seat belt pretensioner and other parts.
Air Bag System Repair, Maintenance and Replacement
The air bag system must be maintained by qualified professional technicians. Improper maintenance will cause that the air bag system cannot function normally. Please drive to the MG Authorized Service Center for repair and maintenance of the air bag system.
If the air bag cover is damaged, opened or broken, the air bag may not function normally. 1t shall be repaired as soon as possible.
Never stick or cover any object on the air bag cover surface or refit the air bag cover; never try to repair, adjust or remove or install any air bag system component; never try to refit the front bumper of the vehicle body by yourself.
The Frontal Air Bag May Not Be Inflated in the Following Collisions
The frontal air bag will usually not be inflated in case of side collisions, rear-end collisions, turnover or lowspeed head-on collisions. No matter what kind of collision, only when the vehicle generates sufficient forward deceleration, will the frontal air bag be inflated.
Head-on collision angle over 30° from vehicle longitudinal direction
Side collision
Overturn, falling from high place, rolling
Hit into front vehicle bottom, especially truck bottom
Rear-end collision
Hit deformable objects, such as sandpile, guard bar, column and tree
Side Air Bag / Side Curtain Air Bag (If Equipped) May not Be Inflated in the Following CollisionsIn case of side collisions with certain angle or collisions to vehicle body side (not passenger compartment), the side air bag/side curtain air bag system may not be activated.
Vehicle body side (not passenger compartment) collision
Off- vertical side collision
The side air bag/side curtain air bag will usually not be inflated in case of head-on collision, rear- end collisions, overturn or low-speed side collisions.
Fall into or drive into a deep pit
Head-on collision
Rear-end collision
Side collision to truck during drifting
Do not use a backward-facing child restraint system on a seat (front seat) protected by a frontal air bag (in activated state). Otherwise, severe injuries or even death may be caused to the child when the air bag is deployed.
Overturn, falling from high place, rolling
The brake system is designed for the braking performance under the driving conditions in wide range. In the braking process, the vehicle speed is reduced through the braking friction and the friction between tyres and ground. It is normal that small braking friction sounds, and friction sounds between tyres and ground are given with no need for special treatment. It is also normal that occasional squeals are given in braking. Squeals may be produced for such causes that other matters may adhere to the friction faces during operation of the vehicle, the vehicle is out of operation for a long time, or friction faces get rusted after raining. As long as squeals are produced at a lower frequency, there is no need for special treatment.
To avoid the pedal travel from being influenced, do not lay a thick carpet in the brake pedal area.
If you find that the brake pedal fails to return or the brake pedal travel becomes longer, we strongly advise you to have your vehicle inspected at the MG Authorised Service Centre. This may indicate a faulty brake system.
When you drive your vehicle in one high- altitude area, continuously braking may cause the brake pedal force to increase.
To run in the friction plate and the brake disc and confirm the performance and the service life, after purchasing a vehicle and installing new friction plates, you had better avoid emergency braking or braking for a long time with in mill age of 200 km.
Please check whether the brake lamp is normal before driving your vehicle. Keep the vehicle running at low speed after starting the vehicle, and check the braking performance. You shall do more like this especially after your vehicle is just washed.
The wet brake may cause an accident. In case the brake is wet, the brake fails to function well and thus the vehicle may be out of control due to lateral deviation. Therefore, after driving through water or having your vehicle cleaned, keep the vehicle running at low speed and depress the brake pedal intermittently and gently, so as to dry the brake.
If the brake is unable to brake temporarily due to overheat.
Engage a lower gear when driving downhill and use the engine to brake.
If the brake is unable to brake temporarily due to wet components, the normal performance can be recovered with the help of following procedures:
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
As one advanced electric braking system, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) is helpful in avoiding the vehicle from slipping and losing control, and this system can also provide the maximum braking capability on the slipped pavement.
When the ignition switch is turned on, the ABS warning lamp illuminates momentarily. The ABS warning lamp does not go out or illuminates when the vehicle is running, it indicates that the ABS is faulty. Please immediately contact the MG Authorised Service Center. Refer to ”ABS Warning Lamp” under Chapter ”Instrument and Control Device”.
The ABS will monitor the speed of each wheel during braking. If one wheel tends to be locked, the system will control brakes of two front wheels and two rear wheels respectively. When the ABS works, the brake pedal often vibrates slightly with noise.
If the ABS gets faulted, it may be unable to function, wheels may be locked in case of emergency brake, and the vehicle may be unable to steer or may steer suddenly.
The ABS will neither change the time required for brake engagement, nor shorten the braking distance. Sufficient braking distance must be kept even the ABS is equipped.
Electric Brake Force Distribution (EBD) System
The EBD system uses the high-speed computer to respectively induce and calculate different ground to which four wheels are attached, and thus calculate different friction values at the moment the vehicle brakes. Therefore, four wheels can be able to brake in different ways and force based on different conditions, and can be adjusted fast during movement, so as to ensure that the vehicle is stable and safe.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) System*
The ESC system is a new-type active safety system, representing the further development of the functions of antilock brake system (ABS) and traction control system (TCS). In addition, the yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor and steering wheel turn angle sensor are added. The driving force and braking force of front and rear, left and right wheels are controlled through the ECU, which ensures the lateral stability of the vehicle. When the driver operates the vehicle beyond the limit values, in case of turning at high speed, the ESC system automatically intervenes to ensure that the vehicle returns to be controllable and ensure the safety. Indicators relevant to the ESC system include ABS fault indicator, EBD fault indicator, ESC indicator and ESCOFF indicator.
The ESP system may not be able to help you escape from out-ofcontrol in the ultimate state for sure. Therefore, take care during daily driving.
You had better disable the ESP system when crossing country on a sandy and rocky pavement. As it is time for the ESP system to function on an icy, snowy and slippery pavement, the ESC system shall not be disabled.
ESC OFF Switch
Press the ESC OFF switch after starting the vehicle. The ESC OFF lamp on the instrument cluster turns on, and some ESC functions are disabled. Press the ESC switch again, the ESC function is enabled again and the ESC OFF indicator on the instrument cluster goes out.
Normally, it is not recommended to disable the ESC system. The system should be disabled temporarily only when the vehicle gets out of the mire or the vehicle climbs on a snowfield, etc.
Hill-start Hold Control (HHC) System *
The ESC system has the HHC function. The function can help the vehicle to start easily on a slope without using the parking brake.
Whether the driver is driving or reversing onto a hill, the start assistant is provided through the function. Therefore, engage gear before starting, please.
When the hill-start hold control functions, after the brake pedal is released, the vehicle still keeps the braking force for 1-2s. In this case, the vehicle will not slide backwards. For one MT vehicle, the driver can focus on engagement of accelerator and clutch in 2s, so as to deal with the tense hillstart with ease.
In this 2s, if the driving force applied by the driver is greater than the resistance which the vehicle is subject to when running onto a hill, the system will gradually reduce the braking force and the vehicle starts running smoothly. If the vehicle fails to start running in 2s, or the driving force applied by the driver is insufficient, the pressure of the brake system is released automatically and the vehicle may start sliding a slope.
At the time, you can depress the brake pedal to make the vehicle come to a complete stop, and the system will still help you to conduct the next start (when conditions are met).
Conditions for the HHC system to function:
When the vehicle is reversed onto a slope, it is necessary to set to the reverse gear firstly.
The HHC function may fail to prevent the vehicle from sliding a slope on a very slippery or steep hillside.
Only as one driver-assistance measure, the HHC function cannot supersede the parking brake function.
Always conduct the parking brake when getting out of the vehicle. If there is no sufficient driving force provided after the brake pedal is released, the vehicle will slide backwards. In this case, please immediately draw back the parking brake and depress the brake pedal.
If the engine flames out during the process, please immediately draw back the parking brake and depress the brake pedal.
Mechanical Hand Brake*
The parking brake impacts rear wheels.
The parking brake lever is between two front- row seats.
If you are to use the parking brake, you should stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal and tension the parking brake lever.
When you are to release the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and take the following measures:
When parking the vehicle on one downhill ramp, turn the front wheels towards the road shoulder
Vehicle equipped with a manual transmission:
When parking one automatic model with Continuously Variable Transmission, engage Gear P on all pavements.
If the parking brake is not engaged correctly, the vehicle may move automatically due to out-of-control in some cases (such as in case of parking on a ramp) and thus a danger may be caused.
When necessary, please have the MG Authorised Service Center adjust.
Do not drive the vehicle with the parking brake not released; otherwise the rear wheel brake may get overheated or be subject to premature wear. As a result, you must replace the rear wheel brake; otherwise, other components of the vehicle may get damaged.
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) *
The parking brake impacts rear wheels.
As shown in the figure above, the EPB switch is between two front-row seats.
Manually Apply Parking Brake
If you have to apply parking brake, depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and then draw back the electronic parking brake switch. In this case , the EPB working indicator illuminates, and you release the EPB switch after the instrument cluster displays ”Parking brake applied”
At the time, the EPB system brake will be clamped to park the vehicle in situ.
In the process of applying or releasing the parking brake, it is normal that you will feel that the brake pedal lifts or lowers.
Manually Release Parking Brake
If you have to release parking brake, firstly confirm that the ignition switch is at the ON position, depress the brake pedal, and then press the EPB switch. The EPB working indicator goes out, and the instrument cluster displays ”parking brake released”, reminding you of parking brake released.
If the brake pedal has not been depressed, the instrument will give a hint ”Please depress the brake pedal andthen release the EPB switch”.
When you are operating the EPB switch, the switch will make response only when the time for releasing or pressing the switch is > 0.1s.
EPB Automatic Clamping Function
When the engine flames out in the motionless state, the vehicle will automatically apply parking brake, and you do not have to pull up the EPB switch.
EPB Automatic Releasing Function
You do not have to manually release parking brake when starting the vehicle; parking brake will be released automatically when the system detects that the vehicle is going to start.
Start the vehicle, engage gear (drive gear or reverse gear), and the driver’s safety belt is tightened; depress the accelerator and release the clutch. After the vehicle start conditions are met, the parking brake will be released automatically.
To smoothly start and avoid sliding backwards on an uphill pavement, opening of the accelerator being depressed shall be enlarged properly
Anti-sliding Reclamping Function
When the parking brake is in the clamped state, if it is detected that wheels roll, EPB will immediately reclamp to avoid sliding.
EPB Hot Disc Reclamping Function
If you park when the rear brake disc temperature is high, the braking force may reduce after a period of time due to thermal expansion and cold contraction. EPB can keep the braking force by reclamping many times to avoid sliding.
EPB Dynamic Braking Function
During driving (speed > 3 km/h), continuously draw back the EPB switch to trigger the ESC system so as to brake four wheels till the vehicle comes to a stop. EPB clamps after the vehicle stops. If the EPB switch is released halfway, braking is released.
In case of dynamic braking, if the ESC system is subject to braking failure, EPB clamps rear wheels to brake.
This function can be activated only in case of emergencies such as foot brake failure. Please neither activate the function in normal times nor have others operate the EPB switch without permission.
Detection Line Passing Mode
Conduct as required by the detection line after entering the roller platform. Continuously draw back the EPB switch or continuously conduct the action of drawing back-releasing the EPB switch 6 times.
Deactivation of Automatic Clamping Function
During transport, traction and vehicle cleaning, you may need deactivate the EPB automatic clamping function so as to make it possible to move the vehicle after flameout.
Deactivation method: Depress the brake pedal and hold the EPB switch pressed while killing the engine. Try to move the vehicle to confirm that EPB is not in the clamped state. Afterwards, if you have to apply the parking brake, draw back the EPB switch.
Deactivate the automatic clamping function only on the flat ground. Otherwise, the vehicle will move and thus a danger may be caused when the foot brake is released.
After deactivating the automatic clamping function, take measures to prevent from sliding due to lack of braking force, for example, cushion wood blocks or stones on both sides of a wheel.
If the battery is excessively low, EPB will fail to be applied or released normally. If the condition above exists, please charge the battery. We recommend you contact the MG Authorised Service Center for solution.
Specialized equipment and technologies are required for EPB brake lining replacement. Please do not have it repaired by yourself or at a maintenance shop rather than the Service Center. Otherwise, the EPB system may get damaged. If the EPB system components have been overhauled, they are not warranted for maintenance.
Automatic Vehicle Hold (AVH) *
The vehicle provided with EPB has the AVH function.
The driver depresses the brake pedal to stop the vehicle after the function is activated, or the driver depresses the brake pedal when the vehicle is motionless and the engine idles. After the brake pedal is released, the hydraulic pressure in the brake system will be kept to park the vehicle in situ (whether on a downhill or uphill pavement or on flat ground), at the time there is no need to draw back EPB to park.
If the driver depresses the accelerator and releases the clutch to start the vehicle within 5 min, the hydraulic pressure in the brake system will be automatically released and the parking will be released, so as to start the vehicle. 5 min later, it will automatically switch to the EPB caliper to clamp and park, and the hydraulic pressure in the brake system will be released. Start and shutdown of AVH can be memorized. If AVH is in the on / off state when the power is off last time, AVH keeps in the corresponding state when the power is on next time.

” direction. In this case, the vehicle
exits from the current cruise state
and enters the cruise activation state,
and the cruise indicator of instrument
flickers; if you press the “
” button
in the cruise state, the whole cruise
system will be deactivated, and the
instrument indicator will go out.
Third Step: Operation for Cruise Recovery
When the vehicle exits from the cruise state and enters the cruise activation state, if you are to carry out the cruise control at the previous cruising speed, you just need pull the toggle button once towards the ”RES/+” direction. Then cruise control is carried out at the previously-saved speed recovered. For example, the cruising speed is 60 Km/h before braking and becomes 50 Km/h after braking, and at the time the cruise indicator of instrument flickers. Pull the toggle button once towards the ”RES/+” direction; the cruise indicator will be normally on, and the vehicle will automatically speed up to 60 Km/h and enter the cruise control state.
Fourth Step: How to Promote Cruise Control Speed
Pull the toggle button towards the ”RES/+” direction and the set cruising speed will rise without the need to depress the accelerator pedal. The speed will rise by 2 km/h every time you pull up the switch once. If the toggle button is kept pressed, the vehicle speed will continuously rise. Once the switch is released, the then running speed will be saved into the memory and the vehicle will cruise at the speed.
Fifth Step: How to Reduce Cruise Control Speed
Pull the toggle button towards the ”SET/-” direction to reduce the cruising speed. The speed will reduce by 2 km/h every time you pull down the switch once. If the toggle button is kept pressed, the vehicle speed will continuously reduce. Once the control lever is released, the then running speed will be saved into the memory and the vehicle will cruise at the speed. If the toggle button is released when the vehicle speed reduces to about 40 km/h (less than 40 km/h), the saved value will be deleted. If you are to continuously drive at the cruise control speed, you need reset the cruising speed.
In principle, the cruise control system can be used on one expressway or one totally-closed road. It is not allowed to use the cruise control system in rainy, icy and snowy weather, and on one densely- hillside road or denselycrooked road. Cruise control is also not proper on a rugged pavement and when too many vehicles run on one road.
For the MT model, after the cruise control system is started, if you intend to shift the transmission to the neutral position, always depress the clutch pedal firstly. Otherwise, it may cause the engine to overspeed and thus get damaged.
Engine Immobilizer System
The vehicle with the engine immobilizer system has the extra anti-theft capacity, for the system can prevent any unauthorized person from starting the vehicle. The matching key of the engine immobilizer system has been encoded electronically. The electronic transceiver is concealed in the ignition key. Only a valid key can be used to start the engine. However, an invalid key can also be used to open doors. The engine immobilizer system isolates the power supply from the ignition system, the fuel pump and the fuel injector. When any unauthorized person turns the invalid key to the START position, the engine immobilizer system fails to identify the electronic code. Therefore, the engine cannot start and the immobilizer system indicator will be flickering.
If the vehicle is equipped with one steering wheel mechanical lock again, a better anti-theft result will be realized.
Parking
Do not park and drive the vehicle on inflammables such as straw and hay. If such inflammables cannot be avoided, park the vehicle to check and confirm that these inflammables are not attached at the chassis after the vehicle passes the inflammables.
Otherwise, these inflammables may be ignited by high-temperature compon- ents on the chassis, and thus a fire accident is caused.
Shift the gear as per gear positions marked on the gear lever ball after the clutch is released. If you have to shift to the reverse gear, you must first stop the vehicle, depress the clutch, and shift the gear lever from the neutral (N) gear to the reverse (R) gear.
1: First drive gear
2: Second drive gear
3: Third drive gear
4: Fourth drive gear
5: Fifth drive gear
6: Sixth drive gear
R: Reverse gear
Depress the clutch pedal completely when shifting gear. Do not always put your foot on the clutch pedal during driving.
Operation for Shifting Transmission with Six Drive Gears to Reverse (R) Gear
As shown in the figure above, when shifting the transmission with 6-speed Gearbox to the reverse (R) gear, pull up the reverse gear lock ring firstly and then turn the gear lever from the neutral (N) gear to the reverse (R) gear. Take care not to pull the reverse gear lock ring when shifting to the drive gear, so as to avoid from shifting to the reverse gear accidentally.
When shifting between the drive gear and the reverse gear, be sure to ensure that the vehicle comes to a complete stop. After completely depressing the clutch, wait for a moment and engage a gear.
Otherwise, the transmission may get damaged or the transmission service life may be shortened.
When reversing your vehicle, please slowly start and confirm that the vehicle is shifted to the reverse (R) gear, for engaging a wrong gear may cause an accident.
Always putting your foot on the clutch pedal during driving will damage the engine and the clutch system and increase the consumed fuel volume.
Do not slide your vehicle at the neutral gear; otherwise, the transmission will get seriously damaged or an accident will be caused.
Your vehicle may be equipped with one automatic Continuously Variable Transmission, which is a wet automatic Continuously Variable Transmission with 6 gears.
Instruction for Use
Shifting
Locking Button
Only one locking button exists on the gear lever, and this button is used to avoid the driver from selecting the parking (P) gear or reverse (R) gear when the vehicle runs at other gears.
Do not press the button while the vehicle is running.
It is required to press the button only when the vehicle comes to a complete stop and you intends to engage the parking (P) gear or reverse (R) gear.
Gear Lever Operation
Operate the gear lever as indicated by arrows below when shifting gear.
The requirements for operations to switch the neutral (N) gear to the drive (D) gear are relevant to the vehicle speed and the duration of the gear lever at the neutral(N) gear. In some cases, you have to depress the brake pedal and then the neutral (N) gear can be switched to the drive (D) gear. For example, the duration of the gear lever at the neutral (N) gear is over 2s when the vehicle is 5 km/h.
Gear
P: Parking Gear
The transmission is locked mechanically at the parking gear. Engage the parking (P) gear when the vehicle is motionless and the hand brake is drawn back.
When you park your vehicle on a ramp, you should first depress the brake pedal and draw back the hand brake and then engage the parking (P) gear.
R: Reverse gear
The reverse (R) gear can be engaged only when the vehicle is motionless, and the engine idles.
N: Neutral Gear
The neutral (N) gear can be engaged when the vehicle is motionless, and the engine idles for a long time (for such purposes as waiting for a traffic light or for a traffic jam).
D: Drive Gear (Economy Mode)
It is used for normal driving. The transmission automatically selects among 6 drive gears according to the vehicle speed and the accelerator pedal position.
The economy mode among the automatic modes is selected at the gear. The optimum fuel consumption and discharge can be provided in the economy mode.
S: Drive Gear (Sport Mode)Turn the gear lever from the (D) position right to the (S) position. The sport mode among the automatic modes is selected at the gear. Better operating performance can be provided in the sport mode. You can also switch to the manual mode at the gear.
+/-: Upshift / Downshift in Manual Mode
If you are to toggle the gear lever from the (S) position to the (+) or (-) position once, select the manual mode.
After selecting the manual mode, toggle the gear lever to the (+) position once, and one gear will be increased. If the vehicle speed is excessively low, the system will not implement the upshift command and the instrument will ring for prompt. It is recommended to upshift manually when the engine speed is 1600~2000 rpm.
Toggle the gear lever to the (-) position, and one gear will be reduced. If the vehicle speed is excessively high, the system will not implement the downshift command, and the instrument will ring for prompt.
If the gear lever is toggled from the (S) position to the (D) position, the vehicle is switched to the automatic gearshift mode.
When the vehicle runs in the manual mode, if the engine speed is lower than one constant value, the transmission will automatically downshift to the adjacent low gear, so as to avoid the engine flameout from occurring. When the vehicle speeds up, and the engine speed continuously rises and reaches to the maximum speed allowed within gears, the transmission will automatically upshift to the adjacent high gear, so as to protect the engine.
Switching the gear lever from the drive (D) gear to the reverse (R) gear or parking (P) gear is prohibited during driving; otherwise, the transmission will get seriously damaged or an accident will be caused. Only when the vehicle comes to a complete stop can the reverse (R) gear or parking (P) gear be engaged.
Gear Display
The gear information is shown on the instrument cluster display.
Upshifting Reminding
As shown in the figure above, when the vehicle is running in the manual mode, if the vehicle speed is excessively high at the current gear, the instrument will ring for upshift reminding. Take the figure above as an example, the instrument reminds you to upshift from Gear 1.
Vehicle Start
When you start the engine and switch it to one required gear, release the hand brake and the brake pedal, and the vehicle will start running automatically and slowly. You can start the vehicle from Gear 2 in the manual mode on a snowfield so that front wheels slip less.
Automatic Upshift
After you select the drive (D) gear to drive the vehicle, the time for automatic upshift of transmission is relevant to the opening of accelerator pedal depressed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed slightly, the transmission will shift gear at the relatively low speed; if the accelerator pedal is depressed drastically, shifting of the transmission will be delayed, and the transmission will shift gear till the relatively high speed is reached.
Kick-down
After you select the drive (D) gear to drive the vehicle, if you depress the accelerator pedal fully (such as for overtaking), the transmission will immediately switch to a proper lower gear at some speeds, which makes
acceleration quicker. Release the pedal after acceleration, and the transmission will return to the proper high gear (according to the vehicle speed and the accelerator pedal position).
Activating the kick-down function on such low-adhesion roads as smooth pavement may cause drive wheels to slip and bring in the sideslip danger.
Hill-Start Hold Control
The electronic parking brake (EPB) system can help you to start the vehicle on a ramp. When you stop the vehicle on a slope, please draw back the hand brake and fasten the safety belt. When you are ready to start the vehicle, depress the brake pedal and engage the required gear (D/R gear), release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal. Then the electronic parking brake (EPB) system will automatically function and the vehicle starts running smoothly. Please refer to contents in Section ”Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)” under Chapter ”Driving and Controls” for details. Besides, the hill-start hold control (HHC) system can also help you to start the vehicle on a steep slope. Please refer to contents in Section “Hill-start Hold Control (HHC) System” under Chapter ”Driving and Controls” for details.
When the vehicle stays on a ramp (i.g., in case of a traffic jam), you shall not prevent the vehicle from sliding backward by throttling up the engine; otherwise, the automatic Continuously Variable Transmission may get overheated and damaged. Please apply the hand brake or depress the brake pedal.
Run Downhill
If you depress the brake pedal continuously for a long time, the brake may get overheated, and thus the braking performance may be reduced and be invalid. When the vehicle is running down a long slope, after you depress the brake pedal to reduce the vehicle speed, push the gear lever from the drive (D) gear right into the (S) position and toggle it to the (-) position, and engage a low gear.
In this way, the braking function of engine can be activated to reduce the vehicle speed, and thus the load of brake is lowered.
Protection Mode
Transmission Overheat Protection
If the vehicle starts frequently in the hot environment or when the transmission is in the overload state, the automatic Continuously Variable Transmission may get very hot.
To avoid any damage to the transmission, the system will activate the overheat protection function, and at the same time the instrument cluster emergency parking (EP) indicator will illuminate or display the relevant warning icon and information accompanied with alarm sounds. In this case, please park the vehicle safely and switch to the P gear to cool the transmission.
If the instrument cluster warning information remains the same or still exists 20 min later since you operate as per the information tips above, please contact the JSW MG Authorized Service Center for overhaul as soon as possible. Otherwise, the transmission may get seriously damaged.
Limp Home Mode
When some faults exist on the transmission, the transmission will enter the limp home mode (in this case, it can work only at some gears, and the vehicle may be unable to run at the reverse (R) gear in individual cases), and the transmission MIL of instrument cluster illuminates. If the transmission enters the limping mode, please contact the JSW MG Authorised Service Center for overhaul as soon as possible. Do not shift gear manually in the limp home mode.
Serious Functional Fault
When some serious functional faults exist on the transmission, the system will cut off power transmission from the engine to the clutch forcibly for the purpose of transmission protection, and thus the vehicle will be unable to run! If the transmission enters the limping mode, please contact the JSW MG Authorised Service Center for overhaul as soon as possible.
The instrument cluster emergency parking (EP) indicator and the transmission MIL illuminate, indicating that the transmission gets seriously overheated or some functional faults exist on the transmission. Please park the vehicle safely and contact the JSW MG Authorised Service Center as soon as possible.

Descriptions:
Radar Sensor and Camera Sensor*
The ADAS acquires information about environmental and road conditions through radar sensor and camera sensor, and performs corresponding functions after analysis and judgment.
Thus, normal working of the sensor is a prerequisite for normal running of the driving assistance system. The following precautions need your attention and observation:
Thus, normal working of the sensor is a prerequisite for normal running of the driving assistance system. The following precautions need your attention and observation:
Camera sensor
It must be ensured that the radar sensor and the camera sensor work normally. Otherwise, the Driver Assistance System cannot provide corresponding assistance.
Descriptions of Buttons on Steering Wheel
Press the ACC button on steering once to activate the ACC (highlighted by no. 3) Other functions of the ACC switch are as follows
Enable the Adaptive Cruise Control.
The vehicle will automatically accelerate to reach the default cruise speed provided that the Adaptive Cruise Control is activated at a relatively low speed. The default cruise speed is 10 km/h.
The current vehicle speed is deemed as the cruise speed provided that the vehicle speed exceeds the default cruise speed when the Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
The vehicle will cruise at the expected speed displayed by the instrument provided that there is no vehicle in front when the Adaptive Cruise Control is activated. The vehicle shall follow the vehicle in front by keeping the previously set following time interval if the vehicle in front drives at the slower speed.
Object for Following
The vehicle in front that is followed by this vehicle will be displayed in the form of blue graphic in the instrument.
If there is no blue graphic displayed to indicate the vehicle in front, it indicates that the Adaptive Cruise Control doesn’t accelerate or decelerate with the vehicle in front. You must actively control the vehicle speed in that circumstance. The system only provides assistance. You must remain cautious in driving and respond proactively all the time.
Adjust the cruise speed
The expected cruise speed is displayed on the combined instrument.
Pullup / down the toggle button to increase / decrease the cruise speed. Adjust to a multiple of 5 for each pull. For example, it will be adjusted to 35Km/h from 31Km/h. The variation of 1km/h will continuously increase or decrease if the button is pressed for a long time. Setting Range: 10-150Km/h.
Set the following time interval
You can adjust the distance from the vehicle in front as required, and the system will use the “following time interval” to indicate the distance. Following time interval refers to the time required to reach the position of the vehicle in front at the current speed.
As shown in the figure, there are 7 gear levels for following time intervals, and 1 horizontal line represents 1 gear level. Maximum 2.4 seconds, minimum 1 second. Shorter time is left for the driver for reaction if the following time interval from the vehicle in front is shorter.
Press the left or right button of the toggle button so as to decrease or increase the following time interval.
Brief Acceleration
You can step on the accelerator to accelerate in the mode of cruise.
Exit cruise control completely
If the Cruise Control OFF button (
)
is pressed down or the brake pedal is
stepped on, the cruise control system
will be completely disabled and the
indicator light (
) will go out.
Follow the vehicle
The system will control the vehicle which will stop at the proper position behind the vehicle in front provided that the vehicle slowly stops with the vehicle in front. The system will automatically control the vehicle to start with the vehicle in front provided that the vehicle in front will start within 3s. If the vehicle stops for more than 3s, the instrument will display the prompt message “Please gently step on the accelerator so as to resume following the vehicle in front” when the vehicle in front starts. At this time, the driver needs to step on the accelerator gently to resume following the vehicle in front.
Vehicle Takeover
The instrument will give an audible warning and provide prompt message “Please take over the vehicle” when the system has controlled the braking but still unable to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. In that circumstance, the driver must take over the vehicle immediately by performing braking or steering so as to avoid the danger.
Fault Warning Light for Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The warning light that is lit up and turns yellow indicates that any fault exists in the system, which will disable the Adaptive Cruise Control. Please repair it timely.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system cannot be activated in the following circumstances: ESP system is disabled; Door is not closed; Seat belt is not fastened; Gear is not in the position of forward gear; or Electronic Parking Brake is not released, etc.
Descriptions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Limit
6. The radar may fail to detect the target vehicle in the following circumstances which may result in unexpected acceleration or deceleration and/or the late braking:
In principle, the cruise function is applicable to the expressways or totally closed roads. It is prohibited in rainy and snowy days. Cruise driving is also not suitable for winding mountain roads, poor road conditions, environment with dense vehicles or the vehicle being towed.
If a vehicle suddenly drives to the front of the vehicle or the vehicle suddenly moves to the rear of the vehicle in front, the Adaptive Cruise Control may not be able to respond. Please drive cautiously in that circumstance.
Bend Cruise Assist (BCA)*
The system will automatically adjust the vehicle speed based on the size of the bend so as to improve the safety after the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is activated.
If the radius of the bend in front is too small, the Bend Cruise Assist may not be able to reduce the vehicle speed to a safe driving level. Please drive cautiously.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
The Lane Departure Warning system detects the lane line in front of the vehicle through the camera sensor. The lane lines are displayed in white on the instrument when the system identifies the lane lines on both sides.
When the vehicle “unconsciously” moves cross the lane marking, for example, you do not turn on the Turn Light or turn the steering wheel intentionally, the vehicle crosses the lane marking. The system will warn the driver through graphic, sound or steering wheel vibration so as to reduce the risk of side collision.
This function is activated when the vehicle speed reaches 60km/h, and disabled when the vehicle speed drops to 55km/h.
You can enable/disable this function in the IVI, and the system will memorize the latest setting. You can also set the sensitivity and reminding mode of Lane Departure Warning in the IVI. The driver can select the warning or alarm mode for the lane departure in the multimedia interface. There are four modes such as “display”, “sound”, “steering wheel vibration” and “sound + steering wheel vibration”
If the camera fails to detect the lane line, no warning will be given even if the vehicle deviates from the lane.
The Lane Departure Warning system may not work or provide false warning in the following circumstances:
Vehicle shakes violently.
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*
The Lane Keeping Assist system communicates with the camera sensor so as to monitor the lane line on the road ahead and assist you to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
Enable the Lane Keeping Assist
The driver can shortly press down the ON/OFF button on the steering wheel to activate the Lane Keeping Assist. At this time, the indicator light on the combined instrument is lit on, and the lane line turns gray in the indicator light. The system is in standby state.
The Lane Keeping Assist can be activated only when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h.
When the system is performing the Lane Keeping Assist, the lane line turns blue in the indicator light on the instrument.
And the lane line in the indicator light ( ) is illuminated and turns green.
There are 2 methods to release Lane Keeping Assist.
Keep your hands holding the steering wheel.
When the system detects that the driver removes his hands from the steering wheel or holds the steering wheel with insufficient force, the system will give a graphic and buzzing reminder via the instrument. Keep your hands holding the steering wheel in any circumstance.
Fault Warning Light for Lane Keeping Assist*
When the indicator light is lit on and turns yellow, it indicates that the system is faulty and cannot provide the Lane Departure Warning or the Lane Keeping Assist. Please repair it timely
The Lane Keeping Assist may not work normally under the following conditions:
The Automatic Lane Keeping is for auxiliary purpose only. Thus, the system cannot effectively identify the lane lines and provide the assistance in any circumstance The driver must drive cautiously and be responsible forjudging and actively responding to the traffic conditions. Otherwise, accident may occur.
The Traffic Jam Assist may keep the vehicle driving in the middle of the lane line and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front within the speed range of 0-60km/h.
Enable the Traffic Jam Assist.
Shortly press down and hold the ON/
OFF button (
) to enable the Traffic Jam
Assist.
If the system identifies the lane lines on
both sides, the Traffic Jam Assist will be
activated and the lane lines displayed
by the instrument will turn blue (as
shown in the Figure above). In this
circumstance, the vehicle will drive in
the middle of the lane line. At the same
time, the vehicle and lane lines in the
indicative graphic signs for lane keeping
(
) are displayed green.
After the traffic jam assist is enabled, the Adaptive Cruise Control will be activated automatically. You can adjust the vehicle speed and the following time interval.
Please refer to the Chapter “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” above.
Release the Traffic Jam Assist
The Traffic Jam Assist can be released through the following ways:
Resume the Traffic Jam Assist.
High-speed Intelligent Cruise Assist (ICA)* The high-speed Intelligent Cruise Assist can keep the vehicle driving in the
middle of the lane line and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front within the speed range of 60-150 km/h.
Please refer to the Chapter - Traffic Jam Assist for the use of high-speed Intelligent Cruise Assist.
It is recommended to enable the Traffic Jam Assist or highspeed Intelligent Cruise Assist when the vehicle drives on the relatively closed roads in good conditions such as expressways, urban expressways, etc. It is not recommended to be used when the vehicle drives in the environment such as urban areas, mountain roads, ramps, etc.
Keep your hands holding the steering wheel. The driver must actively control the driving direction. Otherwise danger may occur.
Traffic Jam Assist and high-speed Intelligent Cruise Assist will not realize automatic driving. Any restrictions affecting the Adaptive Cruise Control and the Lane Keeping Assist will affect the performance. You must remain cautious and proactively judge and respond to the traffic conditions. Otherwise, accident may occur.
Safe Distance Warning (SDW)*
The Safe Distance Warning detects the vehicle in front via radar and provides the prompt message in the instrument in case of too-close distance between the vehicle and the vehicle in front.
Conditions for Working of the Function:
The Forward Collision Warning system can detect the potential front collision hazard and provide prompt message to remind the driver of such collision so that the driver can respond to avoid or mitigate such collision.
As shown in the figure, the combined instrument will give audible and graphic warning when the system detects any potential collision hazard.
If the situation continuously turns for worse, the system will apply short time braking so as to warn the driver.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the Forward Collision Warning in the IVI or disable this function temporarily.
The Forward Collision Warn in system cannot detect the following conditions. Please drive with caution:
The Foward Collision Warning system will work at different vehicle speed in regards of different objects. The driver shall drive cautiously: If the target is a moving vehicle, the working speed is 30-150 km/h. If the target is a vehicle standing still, the working speed is 30-85 km/h. If the target is a pedestrian walking laterally; the working speed is 30- 65km/h.
The Forward Collision Warning system will not respond in the following circumstances. The driver shall drive cautiously:
Automatic Emergency Brake (AEB)*
The automatic emergency braking system will automatically apply limited braking to reduce the vehicle speed for the purpose of avoiding collision or mitigating its consequences if the driver does not respond when approaching a collision.
As shown in the figure, the instrument will display the warning graphics and text and make a rapid audible warning when the system is automatically braking.
Indicator Light for Automatic Emergency Brake OFF
You can temporarily disable the Automatic Emergency Brak e i n t he IVI ( not recommended). The instrument will light up the indicator light if this function is disabled.
Fault Warning Light for Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Brake*
The indicator light turns yellow.
When the warning light is on, it indicates that the Forward Collision Warning or the Automatic Emergency Brake system is faulty and cannot provide any forward collision warning and braking related assistance. Please drive the vehicle cautiously and repair the vehicle as soon as possible.
The Automatic Emergency Brake system will work at different vehicle speeds in regards of different objects. The driver shall drive cautiously:
If the target is a moving vehicle, the working speed is 7-150 km/h. If the target is a vehicle standing still, the working speed is 7-85 km/h. If the target is a pedestrian walking laterally, the working speed is 7-65km/h.
The Automatic Emergency Brake system is prohibited in the following circumstances:
The Automatic Emergency Brake may be insufficient in the following circumstances.
The driver shall drive cautiously:
The Automatic Emergency Brake system may fail in the following circumstances. The driver shall drive cautiously:
The Automatic Emergency Brake system does not work in the following circumstances. The driver shall drive cautiously:
Automatic Emergency Brake can prevent collision or reduce collision speed.
When the system sensor detects any potential collision, it will automatically brake. The driver can step on the brake pedal so as to obtain sufficient braking force. However, the Automatic Emergency Brake system will be disabled if the driver steps on the accelerator or takes steering intervention during the function triggering process.AEB will get deactivated if any pedal is pressed or steering maneuver is detected.
In addition, the driver needs to step on the brake pedal with great force when this function triggers automatic braking.
The Automatic Emergency Brake may be triggered by mistake in the following circumstances. The driver shall drive cautiously.
In any circumstance, the driver is always responsible for maintaining the normal distance and driving speed, and is responsible for the way of driving and avoidance of dangerous situations. The driver must always focus on driving with great caution.
The Automatic Emergency Brake system does not always reach the same performance level based on different vehicles, scenarios and road conditions.
Many unforeseen conditions will affect the work of the system. Please check the User Manual in “MY MG” APP.
In addition, there may be some other complicated driving environments, which may cause unnecessary braking of the system.
If the Automatic Emergency Brake system completely stops the vehicle, the system will automatically release the brake after stopping for 2 seconds. At this time, the vehicle is not braked, and the driver must step on the brake pedal or pull up the handbrake.
AEB cannot be relied upon too much: The Automatic Emergency Brake system can assist the driver in driving in particularly dangerous situations, but cannot replace the driver’s judgment of road and traffic conditions, let alone the driver’s control of the vehicle. The driver cannot rely too much on this function during driving. The Company is not responsible for any consequences arising from reliance on this system.
Prohibition of Testing:
The Automatic Emergency Brake system is only a safety assistance function, and any automatic system cannot ensure 100% normal working under all conditions. Thus, it is forbidden to drive the vehicle towards pedestrians, animals or any other vehicles for the purpose of system testing, which may cause serious losses or casualties.
Pedestrian Identification* (equipped for models with camera sensors)
If the vehicle is equipped with a camera sensor (see section “Radar and Camera Sensor* above), its Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Brake system can identify moving pedestrians crossing the road under specific conditions.
The system will give an audible warning and the instrument will display “Brake Requested” when the vehicle speed is within the range of 7-64km/h and the pedestrian collision risk is detected.
When the vehicle speed is within the range of 7- 64 km/h, the system w ill autom atically apply emergency braking so as to mitigate or avoid collision if the driver does not take measures against the pedestrian collision warning.
Note that the system can only identify pedestrians who cross the road and are walking, and cannot identify pedestrians who are walking along the road or standing still.
Due to the influence of ambient brightness, or pedestrian walking posture and angle, the system may not be able to identify and respond to pedestrians. The driver shall drive cautiously.
The pedestrians may not be detected by radar sensors and cameras in the following circumstances:
The intelligent reverse sensor judges the distance between rear end of the vehicle and the obstacle via the ultrasonic transducer installed on the rear bumper.
If the buzzer buzzes once after you turn on the ignition switch and shift to reverse gear, it indicates that the system can work normally.
If the buzzer buzzes twice, it indicates that one transducer fails to work; if it buzzes thrice, it indicates that 2 or more transducers cannot work normally.
The intelligent reverse sensor starts to work immediately every time you turn on the ignition switch and shift to reverse gear.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle behind it is within about 1.5 m~1.0 m, the reverse buzzer sends out alarm sound at long intervals.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle behind it is within about 1.0 m~0.6 m, the reverse buzzer sends out alarm sound at short intervals.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle behind it is within about 0.6 m~0.4 m, the reverse buzzer sends out alarm sound at shorter intervals.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle behind it is within about 0.4 m, the reverse buzzer sends out alarm sound constantly.
To ensure reversing safety and to leave enough time for the system to detect, please drive at a speed of 5 km/h or lower during reversing.
Please stop the vehicle immediately a constant alarm sound is heard in case that the vehicle bumps onto the obstacle behind it.
Please do not knock the transducers hard or wash them directly with a high- pressure water gun, otherwise the transducers can be damaged.
Sundries on the transducers such as snow, mud and water drops can lead to mis operation.
Please note that the system is likely to fail to detect the following obstacles: those of a conical shape or acute angle reflectors; objects which are prone to absorb sound wave, such as cotton and snow; fine objects such as iron gauze and ropes; objects 30 cm or lower to the ground or 1m or higher than the ground. The system may detect these obstacles first, but as they become nearer and nearer to the vehicle, they can get out of the effective detection range, not detected as a result.

Original tyres guarantee optimum matching of riding comfort, tread life and performance.
Be sure to use wheels and tyres of specified specifications. The use of wheels and/or tyres of other specifications may result in abnormal operation of ABS and other relevant components and even cause collision accidents.
Please consult the JSW MG Authorised Service Center before replacing original tyres or wheels.
Otherwise, it may cause personal injury and damage the vehicle or other properties.
Maintenance
The tyre pressure shall meet provisions of the Manual so as to ensure optimum matching of driving comfort, safety and driveability.
Refer to the tyre load information label for the correct tyre pressure. The label is on the sill plate below the driver’s door.
At the time of cold start, check the tyre pressure with an accurate tyre pressure gauge. After check of tyre pressure, tighten the valve core cap.
Make sure to check the tyre pressure at the time of cold start. The reading measured after the tyre temperature has increased shall not prevail. tyres will become hot after traveling for 1.6 Km and will not cool down completely within 3h after stopping.
Check the tyre pressure each time when refueling or at least every month. Incorrect tyre pressure may:
How to check
Use a good quality tyre pressure gauge to check tyre pressure. You can not tell if your tyres are properly inflated simply by looking at them. Radial tyres may look properly inflated when they are underinflated. Remove the valve cap from the tyre valve stem. Press the tyre gauge firmly onto the valve to get a pressure measurement. If the
cold tyre inflation pressure matches the recommended pressure on the tyre and loading information label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the pressure is low, add air until you reach the recommended pressure. Make sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install a new one as soon as possible.
If you overfill the tyre, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the centre of the tyre valve. Recheck the tyre pressure with the tyre gauge. Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install a new one as soon as possible.
Excessively low tyre pressure will cause overheat of the tyre, leading to internal damage and layered tread and even tyre burst when driving at a high speed. Even if the tyre pressure was restored later, driving under too low pressure may have damaged the tyre.
Tyre and Wheel Maintenance
Running over sharp objects may damage tyres and wheels. If you have to run over these objects, please slow down.
Running over sharp objects may damage tyres and wheels. If you have to run over these objects, please slow down.
Regular Tyre Check

Tyre defects including the above defects may lead to vehicle out of control, causing personal injury.
In case of damage or abnormal wear of tyre or wheel, please consult the JSW MG Authorized Service Center for help.
The vehicle is equipped with radial tyres. JSW MG Motor suggests replacing with radial tyres of the same size, pattern, tread wear, temperature and rated speed.
The use of tyres with different size than the original tyres may cause the tyre and the vehicle component to interfere with each other, thus causing damage to the tyre and vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with tyre pressure monitoring system, the tyre repairing liquid for tyre repair may result in the failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system sensor. It is suggested to go the JSW MG Authorised Service Center for inquiries and repair.
Internal Tread Wear Indicator
Check the tyre tread depth as per the tread wear indicator regularly. The mark on the tyre wall indicates the position of the tread wear indicator.
The tyre must be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears. When the tread depth is equal to or less than 1.6 mm due to wear, the tread wear indicator will appear between the tread grooves.
Do not drive the vehicle in case of tyre wear or damage. The worn or damaged tyres may lead to the vehicle out of control and cause collision accidents, resulting in personal injury and damage of vehicle or other properties.
Tyre Sidewall Labelling
This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a recall.
A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire size designation. You will need this information when selecting replacement tires for your car. The following explains what the letters and numbers in the tire size designation mean.
Example tyre size designation:
(These numbers are provided as an example only, your tire size designator could vary depending on your vehicle.)
215/60R17 96H
215 - Tire width in millimetres.
60 - Aspect ratio. The tire’s section height as a percentage of its width
R - Tire construction code (Radial). 17 - Rim diameter in inches.
96 - Load Index, a numerical code associated with the maximum load the tire can carry.
H - Speed Rating Symbol. See the speed rating chart in this section for additional information.
Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with important information that you need if you ever have to replace one. The following explains what the letters and numbers in the wheel size designation mean.
Example wheel size designation: 17 X 6.5J 17 - Rim diameter in inches.
6.5 - Rim width in inches.

Wheel Alignment and tyre Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance. In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Improper wheel weights can damage your vehicle’s aluminium wheels. Use only approved wheel weights.
Tyre Rotation
The front tyres and the rear tyres have different functions and therefore have different levels of wear. The front tyres wear faster than the rear tyres. In order to prolong the tyre life and avoid uneven tread wear:
When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, out of-balance wheels, severe braking or severe cornering. Look for bumps or bulges in the tread or side of the tire. Replace the tire if you find any of these
conditions. Replace the tire if fabric or cord is visible. After rotation, be sure to bring the front and rear tire pressures to specification and check lug nut tightness.
Information
Tires that are asymmetrical or directional can only be installed on the wheel in one direction. The outside and inside of an asymmetrical tire is not easily distinguishable. Pay careful attention to the markings on the sidewalls of the tires, noting the “outside” marking and the rotating direction before installing them on the vehicle
Please use the recommended wheels and wheel nuts/bolts.
Otherwise, it may lead to the vehicle out of control and cause collision accidents, resulting in personal injury and damage of vehicle or other properties.
If the vehicle is equipped with tyre pressure monitoring system, after tyre rotation or tyre replacement, please go to the JSW MG Authorised Service Center to relearn the tyre pressure.
Winter Tyres
The use of winter tyres while driving on icy and snowy roads can improve driving safety. It is suggested to replace with winter tyres when the temperature is below 7 °C. Please select winter tyres with radial tyre structure and use such winter tyres on all four wheels. Please use the specified tyre pressure. Do not drive the vehicle at a speed exceeding the maximum speed specified by the tyre manufacturer. All- weather tyres can be used except winter tyres.
Tyre Chain
Tyre chains are only used for emergencies or in areas clearly defined by law and should be installed on the drive wheels. Be especially careful when driving the vehicle equipped with tyre chains. Compared with tyres without tyre chains, when tyres are installed with tyre chains, the maneuverability of the vehicle is poor, and the tyre chain may damage the vehicle tyre, suspension or vehicle body. Therefore, use cable tyre chains as far as possible to ensure enough space between the tyre and other parts in the wheel casing. When using tyre chains, carefully read the installation and other related instructions of the tyre chain manufacturer.
