When stopping the vehicle on an uphill
grade, do not hold the vehicle by pressing
the accelerator pedal. The foot brake
should be used for this purpose
Caution
Downhill Driving
If the brake pedal is pressed continuously for a
long time, it may cause the brake to overheat,
thus reducing or even failing the braking effect.
When the vehicle drives downwards along a
long slope, push the gearshift to the right from
D gear to position (+/–) and move it to
position (–), then engage a low gear. In this
way, the braking function of engine can be
activated to reduce the vehicle speed, thus
reducing the brake load.
Protection Mode
Transmission Overheating Protection
If the vehicle starts frequently in a hot
temperature or when the transmission is
overloaded, the automatic transmission may
get very hot.
To avoid transmission damage, the system will
perform overheating protection function. At
this time, the vehicle power will be limited.
Smooth driving behavior is recommended
while violent driving should be avoided.
If the warning message of the combination
instrument still does not change or disappear
after 20 minutes of operation according to the
above information, please contact your dealer
for maintenance as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the transmission will be seriously
damaged.
Limp Mode
When some faults occur in the transmission, it
will enter the limping mode. At this time, the
transmission can only work at a specific speed
ratio. There will be a strong sense of impact
when gear shifting of the transmission occurs.
The fault warning lamp of the transmission of
the combination instrument will be on.
If this happens to the transmission, please
contact the Aftersales Service Center for
repair as soon as possible.
Note
When the transmission failure indicator light
of the combination instrument flashes, it
indicates that the transmis s i o n o i l
temperature is too high (over 140 °C) or too
low (lower than -30 °C). At this time, smooth
dri v i ng is r e c omm e n ded a n d r api d
acceleration should be avoided.
Note
When the transmission failure indicator light
of the combination instrument is on, it
indicates that there is some functional fault in
the transmission. See your dealer as soon as
possible.
DRIVING AND CONTROLS
In the intelligent charging mode, the system
charges the 48V battery.
Fault Mode
When the 48V hybrid power system fails, the
fault warning lamp turns on, and the
corresponding prompt appears on the
instrument. The vehicle enters the limp home
mode. The torque output is limited, and the
vehicle cannot accelerate. Please immediately
drive to the Service Center for inspection.
Intelligent Charging Mode
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
Center. 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.
Note
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 within millage of
200 km.
Note
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.
