How does the Auto Hold system indicate a failure on the instrument panel?
The AUTO HOLD system failure is indicated by a dedicated warning lamp on the instrument panel. Separate indicator states show when the system is operating normally, when it is in standby state, and when it has a failure. If you see the failure indication, the system is not functioning correctly. (Page 39)
2
How do I adjust the headlamp levelling based on vehicle load?
Headlamp levelling is adjusted using a switch with positions 0 through 3 depending on vehicle load. Position 0 is for driver only or driver and front passenger; position 1 is for all seats occupied with no boot load; position 2 is for all seats occupied plus an evenly distributed load in the boot; and position 3 is for driver only plus an evenly distributed load in the boot. (Page 50)
3
What are the conditions required for the Smart Main Beam (Automatic High Beam) system to activate?
Three conditions must be met for the smart main beam system to activate: the lighting lever switch must be placed in AUTO position with dipped beams automatically on, the vehicle must be running at a speed exceeding 40 km/h (20 mph), and the front fog lights must not be turned on. The system uses the front view camera to detect light intensity from vehicles ahead. (Page 52)
4
What happens if the high-voltage battery pack warning lamp flashes while I am driving?
If the power battery warning lamp flashes, it indicates the high voltage battery temperature is too high. You should stop the car as soon as safety permits, power off the vehicle, leave the vehicle immediately, and contact an MG Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity. If the lamp illuminates solidly rather than flashing, it indicates a serious malfunction of the battery system and the same urgent actions apply. (Page 46)
5
How do I properly dispose of or recycle the high-voltage battery pack?
The high-voltage battery pack MUST be recycled by an MG Authorised Repairer or a professional approved dismantling agent. The battery pack contains several lithium-based cells and is classed as a Category 9 hazardous material, meaning it must be transported by vehicles qualified for Category 9 hazardous materials. Arbitrary disposal may cause pollution, hazard, and damage to the environment. (Page 23)
6
What should I do if the windscreen washers fail to deliver fluid while the wipers are operating?
Release the lever immediately if the washers fail to deliver screen wash solution, as dirt or ice may have blocked the jets. Releasing the lever will prevent the wipers from operating, avoiding the risk of visibility being impaired by dirt smearing across an unwashed windscreen. (Page 58)

Instructions for Use of Hybrid Vehicle* Effects of Ambient Temperature Extremely high or low temperatures will affect the performance of the high-voltage battery pack and the vehicle. It is recommended that where possible the vehicle should be used within the temperature range of -30℃~55℃. This will ensure that the vehicle is in the optimum working state, and help extend the service life of the high-voltage battery pack. Instructions for High Voltage Battery Pack Recycling If you decide not to use the recommended MG Authorised Repairer to dispose of your high voltage battery, the responsibility of the consequences of environmental pollution or accidents must be bourne by the owner. The high-voltage battery pack contains several lithium based battery cells. Arbitrary disposal may cause pollution, hazard and damage to the environment. The high-voltage battery pack MUST be recycled by an MG Authorised Repairer or a professional approved dismantling agent. Please refer to the following information and requirements. • ONLY qualified personnel should work with the high voltage system - there is danger of DEATH. • High voltage safety: the high-voltage battery pack contains high voltage components such as lithium battery packs and high voltage wiring harness; DO NOT attempt to dismantle any area of this system, suitably trained professional staff must observe insulation safety protection before working on or near the high voltage system. 23 1 Page 24
Instructions Before Using The Vehicle
• Transportation: The high-voltage battery pack is classed as a Category 9 hazardous material and must be transported by vehicles qualified in transporting Category 9 hazardous materials. • Storage: All HV components (including batteries) should be stored at room temperature and in a dry environment. They must be kept away from dangerous sources, such as flammable objects, heat and water sources. It is strongly recommended that the used high-voltage battery pack generated from vehicle scrappage or any other reasons should be disposed of by an MG Authorised Repairer. Please consult an MG Authorised Repairer for more details. Precautions in the Event of an Accident Ensure the vehicle is in P gear and the vehicle power system/ignition 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 services as soon as possible; if the fire is large and spreading quickly, immediately evacuate the vehicle and contact the fire services immediately. If the vehicle is involved in a collision, it cannot be re-started, the negative cable of 12V battery and Manual Service Disconnect (MSD) MUST be disconnected prior to rescue. 24 Page 25

Whilst in manual mode, if the driver makes an unreasonable gear selection, such as requesting an upshift during low engine speeds, or requesting a downshift during high engine speeds, the transmission will not respond and will remain in the current gear. If the vehicle is driven and the engine speed falls below a preset threshold in certain gears, the transmission will automatically shift down to the next gear to avoid engine stalling; when the vehicle accelerates, if the engine speed increases continuously and exceeds the allowable maximum speed with no upshift request received, the transmission will automatically shift up to the next gear to protect the engine. To return to other gear modes, move the shift lever leftwards and select D. Gearshift Speed With D or E gear selected, the speed of one gear varies depending on the accelerator pedal position: a smaller throttle opening will result in the gear shift at a lower speed, and a larger throttle opening will cause the transmission to delay the gear shift action, until the gear shift is completed when the vehicle reaches a higher speed. Kick-down The drive wheels may skid when kick-down is activated on road surfaces with low adhesion, this may lead to the vehicle sliding out of control. With D or E gear selected, pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down in one motion (also known as Kick-down ) will provide better acceleration performance during overtaking. Under certain conditions, it will allow the transmission to shift to a lower gear immediately, and provide fast acceleration. Once the accelerator pedal is released, it will resume a suitable higher gear (based on the vehicle speed and the position of the accelerator pedal). 116 Page 117

has been applied. If the indicators in the EPB switch and in the instrument pack extinguish, it indicates that the EPB system has been released. Note: When leaving the vehicle, the EPB must be applied. Note: An audible motor noise may be heard when applying or releasing the EPB. The electronic parking system cannot be activated or deactivated when the vehicle battery is discharged. If this is the case, apply the emergency starting power system with a jumper cable, please refer to the "Jump Start" section in the "Emergency"section. Start Assist If the driver's seat belt is fastened, the engine is running, D or R gear is selected and the accelerator pedal is pressed to pull away, the EPB system will automatically release. Emergency Braking Function Inappropriate use of EPB can lead to accidents and injuries. DO NOT apply the EPB for vehicle braking whilst moving, unless in an emergency. During emergency braking using the EPB, DO NOT switch off the ignition/power system, this could result in serious injury. In the event of normal brake failure during driving, emergency braking can be initiated by pulling and holding the EPB switch upward. An audible warning will sound during emergency braking. The braking process will be canceled by releasing the EPB switch. 121 4 Page 122

Parking Brake System - Manual Parking Brake* Do not drive with the parking brake applied, or apply the parking brake whilst the vehicle is in motion. This could result in loss of control, prevent the ABS from functioning correctly, and may even cause damage to the rear brakes. The parking brake operates on the rear wheels only. To apply the parking brake, pull the lever upward. Whilst parked, ensure the parking brake lever stays in applied state. To release, pull the lever up slightly, then press the button at the end of parking brake lever and fully lower the lever. When parking on a steep slope, do not rely on the parking brake alone to hold the vehicle. 122 Page 123

Service Brake Some models are equipped with vacuum assisted hydraulic brake system as the service brake system. It allows the driver to apply the brake more easily, and also improves the braking performance. Note: When the engine is not started, the brake pedal will feel hard, but when the engine is started, the brake pedal will feel soft, which is the brake booster in action. The vacuum assisted hydraulic brake system helps the driver save effort when depressing the brake pedal, and ensures a safe and quick braking, however, in daily driving, the following non-standard operations should be avoided: • Never allow the car to freewheel with the engine turned off. Since the vacuum assisted hydraulic brake system functions with the engine started up only, braking when the car is freewheeling with the engine flameout may cause braking failure. • In case of flameout while driving, you should depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle as quickly as traffic safety permits. During braking, DO NOT pump the brake pedal, because it will excessively consume the vacuum assist in the braking system, thereby requiring increased pressing force, and reducing the easiness in braking. During driving, the following matters should be noted: • When the braking efficiency of vacuum booster decreases due to the change of atmospheric pressure from plain to plateau regions, the user needs to depress the brake pedal with greater effort than usual to gain effective braking. • When driving through puddles or heavy rain, a water film may form on the surface of brake disc, which easily reduces the braking efficiency and extends braking distance. In this case, keep a safe distance from other vehicles and intermittently apply the brake pedal to keep the brake disc surface dry. • If the braking efficiency decreases due to vehicle failure, please contact a local MG Authorised Repairer for service as soon as possible. Some models are equipped with an integrated braking system (IBS), which has the advantages of high integration, faster braking response, and higher stability without relying on vacuum environment. Please note the following points when using IBS: 123 4 Page 124
Drive The Vehicle
• IBS only works when the power system is ready, please do not coast with the power system turned off. • If the power system is turned off during driving, you should firmly press the brake pedal and stop as soon as traffic safety permits. • When the power supply of IBS decreases due to low power or other reasons, it is necessary to apply more force than usual to the brake pedal to obtain effective braking. 124 Page 125

Energy Regeneration* Deceleration caused by energy regeneration isNot
a substitute for braking safely. The driver must ALWAYS be prepared to make braking manoeuvres to maintain safe driving. When the vehicle is braking, in an overrun or coasting state, the energy regeneration function is activated, and the motor converts part of the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy, which is then stored in the high-voltage battery pack. Energy cannot be regenerated or is limited under some conditions, such as: • N gear is selected (During driving do not coast in N gear) ; • During torque intervention (SCS or traction control operation) ; • High voltage battery pack is fully charged; • High voltage battery pack temperature is too high or too low. Energy Regeneration Level : High High Level: Maximum energy is regenerated, the vehicle exhibits shorter coasting distances and a strong sensation of over-run drag or motor braking. Medium Medium Level: Moderate energy regenerated. Low Low Level: Minimum energy is regenerated, the vehicle exhibits longer coasting distances and no significant sensation of over-run drag or motor braking. The energy regeneration level can be selected in the entertainment display screen. Note: It is recommended to choose Low or Medium levels on surfaces that have low adhesion levels (e.g. icy roads). 125 4 Page 127

Seat Belt It is important that all seat belts are worn correctly. Always check that all passengers are wearing seat belts.Do
NOT carry passengers that are unable to wear correctly positioned seat belts. Wearing seat belts incorrectly may cause serious injury or even death in the event of a collision. Airbags can not replace seat belts. Airbags can only provide extra support when triggered, and not all traffic accident swill trigger airbags. Whether airbags are triggered or not, seat belts can reduce the risks of serious injury or death in accidents. Therefore, seat belts must be worn properly. NEVER unfasten a seat belt whilst driving, serious injury or death may occur in the event of an accident or emergency braking. Never fasten the driver seat belt or use a buckle replacement when the driver seat is vacant or when exiting the vehicle. This vehicle is equipped with a seat belt warninglamp to remind you to fasten your seat belt. During driving, seat belts must be fastened，this is because: • You can never predict if you will be involved in a collisionaccident and how serious it may be. • In many cases of collision accidents, passengers withseat belts properly fastened are well-protected, whilepassengers with seat belts not fastened suffer fromserious injury or even death.Therefore, all passengers must wear seat belts correctly,even during short-distance journeys.

Protection Provided by Seat Belts Note: 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 theoccupants 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 ontravelling until they come into contact with a stationaryobject. This object may be the steering wheel, dashboard,windscreen or front seats. A correctly fastened seat belt will eliminate this risk ofinjury. When the seat belt is worn correctly, it will lockautomatically in collision accidents or emergency brakingto reduce your speed together with the vehicle, so asto prevent the out-of-control movement which may causeserious injury to driver and passengers. 129 5 Page 130

Wearing Seat Belts Incorrectly worn seat belts could cause injury or death in the event of an accident. Seat belts are designed for one person, DO NOT share seat belts. DO NOT wrap a seat belt around when holding a baby or child in your arms. Remove any heavy coats or clothing when wearing a seat belt, failure to do so can affect protection provided by the seat belt. Seat belts should not be wrapped around hard or sharp objects such as pens, spectacles or keys. Seat belts can not function correctly when the seats are reclined excessively.Do
NOT drive when the seats are excessively reclined. The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for use by normal sized adults. This part of the literature refers to adult use.All seat belts are 3 point lap-diagonal belts. In order to maintain effective protection, the passengers must sit in the correct orientation, feet placed on the floor in front of them, with an upright body (no excessive recline) and the seat belt correctly fastened. 130 Page 131

When wearing seat belts, the lap belt section should bepositioned as low as possible across your hips, never acrossthe abdomen. In the event of a collision, the lap belt canapply a force on the hips and reduce the possibility of you slipping under the lap belt. If you slip under the lap belt, thebelt will apply force on your abdomen, which may causeserious or fatal injuries. The diagonal section of the beltshould cross the middle of the shoulder and the chest. Inthe event of emergency braking or collision, the diagonalsection of the belt will be locked. To ensure that the seat belts always provide maximumprotection, ensure the belt is flat, not loose and contactsthe body. Seat Belts Use during Pregnancy Wearing correctly positioned seat belts will provideprotection for both mother and unborn child in the eventof a collision or emergency braking.The diagonal section of the seat belt should pass acrossthe chest as normal, the lap section of the belt should passbelow the belly, low and snug on the hip bones. NEVERposition the belt on or above the belly.Please consult your physician for further details. 132 Page 133

Infants Only recommended child restraints suitable for the age, height and weight of the child should be used. NEVER carry a child or infant with your arms during driving. When collision accidents occur, the weight of the child will produce so great of a force that you will not be able to hold on to the child. The child will be thrown forward and suffer serious injury oreven death. The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for adults,they are not suitable for children. In the event of anaccident or collision the children are not secure, it couldcause death or serious injury. Infants MUST use a suitable child restraint device. Pleaseconsult the child seat manufacturer’s guidelines whenselecting the correct seat. Follow the manufacturer’sinstructions on installation. Please refer to "ChildRestraints" in this chapter for more details. Older Children NEVER share a seat belt amongst children. In the event of an accident or collision, the children are not secure. It could cause death or serious injury. As children grow and become older/larger it will get to the stage when they no longer require child seat restraints, at this point they will require use of the vehicle standard seat belt. Please ensure the seat belt is correctly positioned on the body of the child. When fastening a seat belt for a child always check itfor correct positioning. Adjust the height of seat belt toensure 134 Page 135

Airbag Overview The airbag SRS provides ADDITIONAL protection in a severe frontal impact only. It does not replace the need, or requirement to wear a seat belt. The airbags together with the seat belts provide optimum protection for adults, but it is not the case for infants. The seat belt and airbag systems in the vehicle are not designed for protecting infants. The protection required by infants should be provided by child restraints. In the corresponding position where airbags are fitted, there is a warning sign stating “ AIRBAG ”. Generally, SRS contains the following components (the components are not completely the same according to different model and configuration): • Frontal airbags (fitted in the centre part of the steering wheel and the instrument panel above the glove box respectively) • Side airbags (fitted in the outer seatback cushion of the two front seats)* • Side curtain airbags (fitted in the roof interior trim)* Airbag Warning Lamp The airbag warning light is located in the instrument pack. If this lamp does not extinguish or illuminates during driving, it indicates that there is a failure in the SRS or seat belt. Please seek an MG Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.

fault may mean the components may not be deployed in the event of an accident. Airbag Deployment Front seat passengers should not place feet, knees or any other part of the body in contact with, or in close proximity to a front airbag. To minimise the risk of accidental injury from inflating airbags, seat belts should be worn correctly at all times. In addition, both driver and front passenger should adjust their seat to provide sufficient distance from the frontal airbags, so as to avoid severe or even fatal injury when the airbag is deployed. If side airbags and side head impact protection airbags are fitted, both driver and front seat passenger should be seated to maintain sufficient distance from the upper part of the body to the sides of the vehicle, this will ensure maximum protection when the side airbags/side head impact protection airbags are deployed. 140 Page 141

An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions and other injuries if the occupant is too close to the airbag at the time of its deployment. When airbags are deployed, children without proper protection may suffer from serious injury or even death.Do Not
carry children in the arms or on the knees during traveling. Children should wear seat belts suitable to age. DO NOT lean out of windows. After deployment, the relative airbag components will become very hot, such as the steering wheel, instrument panel and both sides of the roof rails . DO NOT touch any airbag related components after airbag deployment, it may cause burns or serious injury. DO NOT knock or strike the position where any airbag related parts are located, so as to avoid accidental airbag deployment which may cause serious injury or even death. DO NOT affix or place any objects on, or adjacent to the airbags. This may affect the airbag passage or create projectiles that may cause injury or serious harm in the event of airbag deployment In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit monitors the rate of deceleration or acceleration induced by the collision, to determine whether the airbags should be deployed. Airbag deployment is virtually instantaneous and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise. In the event of a severe frontal collision, a completely deployed airbag, along with a correctly worn seat belt, can limit the movement of the driver and front passenger, reducing the risk of head and chest injuries. For vehicles fitted with side airbags and side curtain airbags, when the vehicle encounters a serious side collision, the completely 141 5 Page 142

deployed airbag will form a cushion of air between the occupant and the vehicle side to reduce the risk of body side injuries. Provided the front seat occupants are correctly seated and with seat belts properly worn, the airbags will provide additional protection to the chest and facial areas in the event of the car receiving a severe frontal impact.Important
• Airbags cannot protect lower body parts of passengers. • Airbags are not designed for rear collision, minor frontal collision or if the vehicle rolls over, nor will it operate as a result of heavy braking. • Deployment and deflation of the airbags takes place very quickly and will not protect against the effects of a secondary impact if it occurs. • When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released. This is not an indication of a malfunction. However, the powder may cause irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and any cuts or abrasions of the skin. If your skin, eyes, nose or throat etc feels uncomfortable, please consult a doctor. • After inflation, front and side airbags deflate immediately. This provides a gradual cushioning effect for the occupant and also ensures that the driver's forward vision is not obscured. 142 Page 143

Frontal Airbags NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur. Refer to ‘Disabling the Passenger Airbag'. Front seat passengers should not place feet, knees or any other part of the body in contact with, or in close proximity to a front airbag. In extreme cases driving on very uneven surfaces may cause airbag deployment. Please take extra care when driving on uneven roads. For some models, the passenger side airbag can be turned off through the switch on the entertainment display screen. Airbags are designed to deploy during serious impacts, the following conditions may cause airbag deployment. • A frontal collision with unmovable or non deformable solid objects at a high speed. 143 5 Page 144

• Conditions that can cause serious chassis damage, suchas a collision with kerbstones, road edges, deep ravinesor holes. Side Airbags and Side Curtain Airbags* The structure and material of the seat is critical to the correct operation of side airbags. Therefore, please DO NOT fit seat covers which may affect side airbag deployment. In the event of a serious side impact, the relevant side airbag will deploy from the seat cover, and the side curtain airbags will deploy from the roof interior trim (only the affected side). The other side will not deploy. The conditions described below (or similar) may cause side airbag and side curtain airbag deployment. • One side of the vehicle collides with high-speed ordinary passenger car. 144 Page 145

Conditions in Which Airbags Will Not Deploy The deployment of airbags does not depend on the vehicle speed, but on the object that the vehicle hits, angle of impact and the rate at which the car changes speed as a result of a collision. When the impact force of collision is absorbed or dispersed to vehicle body, airbags may not deploy; however, airbags may sometimes deploy according to impact condition. Therefore, the deployment of airbags shall not be judged based on the severity of vehicle damage. Frontal Airbags Under certain conditions the front airbags may not be deployed. Some examples are listed: • The impact point is not central to the front of the vehicle. • The impact is with a solid utility pole or traffic sign post. 145 5 Page 146

Child Restraints Important Safety Instructions about Using Child Restraints Children under the age of 12 years are recommended to be seated in the rear seats. Compared with adults, children'smuscles and bones do not fully develop, so you need to use dedicated child restraints to protect children. Use child restraints in rear seats to protect children based on thechild's age, height and weight. It is recommended that a child restraint system thatcomplies with UN ECE-R44 and ECE-R129 are fitted in this vehicle. When choosing a child restraint, check relevant marks or instructions about the weight range applicablefor the child restraint and the usage message on it. When installing and using a child restraint, it is necessary to comply with relevant laws and regulations, the instructions supplied by the child restraint manufacturer, and theinstructions on children's safety in this manual. The correct use of child restraints will greatly reduce children's injury risk in accidents or relieve their injuryseverity, and please pay attention to the followings whenyou use child restraints: • It is recommended that children shorter than 1.5 metres (or under 12 years of age) should use the appropriate child restraint, and cannot use regular seatbelt, otherwise it may cause the abdomen and neck injuries. • Never let your children ride in unprotected case. Care should not be neglected because of children sitting onthe child restraint. • Only one child may be carried in any one restraint. • DO NOT put the child on the lap or in arms when sittingin any seat. • Proper child restraint can provide protection for your children. • Relevant front seat may need to be adjusted frontward for installing the rear-facing child restraint to the rearseats. • The position of seat head restraints may need to be adjusted for installing the forward facing child restraint to the rear seats. • Never let your child stand or kneel on the seat during driving, otherwise, your child may be tossed and thus 151 5 Page 152

lead to injury to their own and other people or even death when an accident occurs. • If a child's body leans forward or the posture is not correct during driving, then the accident will increase the risk of injury. • The method of using seat belts have a great influenceon the maximum protection offered by the seat belt,you must comply with the child restraint manufacturer's instructions on proper use of seat belts. If seat belts are not properly fastened, even a minor traffic accident maylead to injury. • Child restraints that are not fitted correctly may move and injure other occupants in the event of an accidentor emergency braking. Therefore, even if there is no infant or child in the child restraint, it should be fitted properly and securely in the vehicle. 152 Page 153

Warnings and Instructions on Use of Child Restraint on Front Passenger Seat NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on the front passenger seat with the front passenger airbag activated, otherwise DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD may occur. Use one child restraint per child. In cases where there is a need to install a rear facing child restraint on the front passenger seat, use the entertainment display to deactivate the front passenger airbag function, or severe injury or even death can occur. Once the child restraint is removed from the front passenger seat, use the entertainment display to reactivate the front passenger airbag. When installing a child restraint on the front passenger seat, move the front passenger seat as far rearward as possible. Please carefully read the safe driving warning label on the sun visor. Always install the child restraint in the rear seat for security reasons. And above warning shall be noted in a special case when the child restraint must be used on front passenger seat. When child restraint must be used on front passenger seat, please follow the instruction below. 153 5 Page 154

Important
• Move the front passenger seat as far back and as high as it can be adjusted to creat the largest possible distance between the child seat and the front passenger front airbag. • Move the backrest to the upright position. • Set the seat belt heights so that the seat belt routing follows a natural path adapted to the child seat without excessive deviations. For rear-facing child seats, use the lowest position of the belt height adjuster. • Only use child seats that have been approved by the child seat manufacturer for use on a front passenger seat with front and side airbag. Important Instructions on Children's Safety and Side Airbags Children should not be allowed in areas where side airbags may be deployed, there is a risk of serious injury. Only recommended child restraints suitable for the age, height and weight of the child should be used and firmly fixed in the vehicle. DO NOT place any items in areas where side airbags may be deployed, there is a risk of serious injury. In the event of a side collision, the side airbags can provide better protection for the passenger. However, when the airbag is triggered, a very strong expansion force is generated, if the passenger's seating position is not correct, the airbags or items in the side airbag deployment area may cause injury. Therefore, the correct child restraint must be used to secure the child correctly in the rear seat whilst ensuring the child's seating position is correct and there is enough space between the child and the side airbag deployment area for the airbag to deploy without any hindrance in a traffic accident, this will provide the best protection. 154 Page 155

Body Stability Control System Body Stability Control System The body stability control system includes Dynamic Stability Control System ( SCS ) and Traction Control System ( TCS ) SCS is designed to assist the driver in control of driving direction. When SCS detects that the vehicle is not moving in the intended direction, it will intervene by applying brake force to selected wheels or through the drive system to prevent sliding and stabilise the driving direction by correcting the under-steering or over-steering. TCS contributes to maintaining the control to the vehicle by improving the vehicle's traction trafficability and driving stability. TCS monitors the driving speed of each wheel individually. If spin is detected on one wheel, the system will automatically brake that wheel, transferring torque to the opposite, non-spinning wheel. If both wheels are spinning, the output torque of the drive system will be reduced in order to regulate wheel rotation until traction is regained. SCS and TCS are automatically switched on when the vehicle is powered on. For CVT model, they can be switched off by using the switch located on the entertainment display. For MT model, they can be switched off by using the switch located on central armrest box. If the switch locates on the central armrest box, the position as shown: Note: Disabling SCS and TCS will not affect the operation of ABS . Always disable SCS and TCS when driving with snow chains fitted. 163 5 Page 164

Resuming the body stability control system After a battery disconnection/reconnection, the body stability control warning lamps will illuminate, and the dynamic stability control/traction control system will not work correctly. In this case, the electric power steering (EPS) will require initialisation, i.e., move the steering wheel from lock to lock. The electric power steering (EPS) warning lamps and the body stability control warning extinguish, and the dynamic stability control/traction control system will be reinstated. 164 Page 165

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) When travelling at high speed or there is a danger of aquaplaning, i.e. where a layerof water prevents adequate contact between the tyres and the road surface,Abs
cannot overcome the physical limitations of stopping the car in a short distance. In these cases, it is the responsibility of the driver to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. DO NOT pump the brake pedal at any time, this will interrupt the operation of ABS and may increase the braking distance. The ABS is mainly used to automatically adjust the braking force of each brake when braking to prevent the wheels from being locked, thus avoiding dangerous situations such as loss of direction or side slip during emergency braking. This system enables the driver to maintain control over the steering in case of emergency braking, keeping the vehicle stable, and improving safety. Under normal braking conditions, ABS will not be activated. However, if the braking force exceeds the adhesion between the tyres and the road surface, causing the wheels to lock, the ABS will automatically come into operation. This will be recognisable by a rapid pulsation felt through the brake pedal. If an emergency situation occurs, the driver should apply full braking effort to trigger the ABS even when the road surface is slippery. Note: On soft surfaces such as powdery snow, sand or gravel, vehicles equipped with ABS may have a braking distance greater than those without ABS. This is because the natural action of locked wheels on soft 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.Important
• Although ABS can greatly improve driving safety, the real safety still depends on the driver's own standard driving behavior. • The normal braking system remains fully operational and is not affected by partial or full loss of anti-lock braking system ( ABS ). 165 5 Page 166

Auxiliary Brake System The auxiliary brake system consists of Electronic Brake Force Distribution System ( EBD )*and Electronic Brake Assistance System ( EBA ). The EBD *automatically distributes the braking force between the front and rear wheels, so that the vehicle can have optimum braking performance under different load conditions. The EBA increases the braking force applied on each wheel during emergency braking to assist the driver in quickly triggering ABS , thereby reducing the braking distance. 166 Page 167

Auto Hold* The auto hold function cannot guarantee the stability of the vehicle when starting off or braking on hills especially on slippery or icy surfaces. When auto hold stops the vehicle, for reasons such as engine shut-down, releasing the seat belt or pressing the auto hold switch, the electronic parking brake is applied. It cannot be guaranteed that the vehicle will be stabilised in all cases. For example, the rear wheels are on a slippery road surface, or the vehicle incline is too great (larger than 20%). Please make sure that the vehicle is safely stabilised prior to exiting. DO NOT leave the vehicle when the engine is operating and the auto hold is active. Auto hold cannot guarantee the electronic parking brake operation in all cases where the ignition system is shut down. Please ensure the electronic parking brake is applied and the vehicle is stabilised prior to exiting the vehicle. The auto hold function should be switched off during the use of automatic car washes, the electronic parking brake may suddenly apply and cause vehicle damage. If the vehicle is required to stop frequently for long periods while driving (such as wait at the traffic lights, stop on a slope or in urban stop-and-go conditions), the Auto Hold function can assist you in stabilising the vehicle, enabling you to remove your foot from the brake pedal when the vehicle is stationary and the Auto Hold is active. Auto Hold has 3 states as follows: The Auto Hold Switch is located on the entertainment display screen. 1 Standby: 167 5 Page 168

With the driver's seat belt fastened, the door closed and the power system running, press the Auto Hold switch to switch the function from Off to Standby state. The indicator of Auto Hold Switch illuminates. 2 Operating: When the vehicle is moving forward, depress the brake pedal to a certain depth. After the vehicle is fully stopped, the Auto Hold function is switched from Standby to Parking state. In this state, the green indicator on the instrument panel illuminates. When the Auto Hold is in the Parking state, engaging D gear and depressing the accelerator pedal will automatically release the Auto Hold function based on the slope. The Auto Hold will release from the Parking state if R gear is selected.3 Off:
Press Auto Hold switch again to disable the function. The Auto Hold will exit the parking state under some circumstances such as releasing the seat belt, turning off the power system, remaining static for a length of time or pressing the Auto Hold switch. At this time, the EPB will be applied. Note: With the brake pedal pressed, operating the switch to turn the auto hold off, the system will NOT apply the parking brake. Note: When the vehicle is in P gear, the auto hold function will not be engaged. 168 Page 169

Hill Hold Control (HHC) It is impossible for HHC to keep the vehicle in a standstill state under all circumstances (e.g. slippery ground, snow and ice, etc.) when going uphill, and the driver must constantly pay attention to the vehicle condition. With the HHC in service, the driver is strictly prohibited from leaving the vehicle, otherwise serious accidents may occur. During hill start under a stop-and-go road condition, please step on the brake pedal deeply for several seconds before each start. HHC assists the driver by "holding" the vehicle during hill starts. If the driver releases the brake pedal, the HHC will hold the vehicle stationary for a short time. The HHC will be activated when the following conditions are met simultaneously: • The driver's seat belt has been fastened and the driver's door is closed. • The vehicle is stopped steadily on a slope. • SCS is fault free. • EPB / manual parking brake is fault free and released. • The power systeme is started. • In D or R gear. • Sufficient force has been applied on the brake pedal before start. Note: The HHC can also work when the vehicle is reversing uphill. 169 5 Page 170

Hill Descent Control (HDC) HDC is just an auxiliary function, which cannot ensure that the vehicle is driven down a steep slope at low speed under all circumstances (such as slippery ground, snowy road surface or excessive slope, etc.). Even when HDC is in use, the driver shall still pay close attention to the driving state of the vehicle, and take active control when necessary. Because in certain cases, HDC may remove itself from the operating state temporarily. Under some driving conditions on downhill surfaces (e.g. driving down a slope with high speed, small slope, etc.), HDC is inoperative, so the driver shall be required to control the speed by depressing the brake pedal to ensure the safe driving. HDC system is an auxiliary function designed for vehicles running on acute downhill surface. It reduces the speed by applying the brake force, thus assists the driver to drive on acute downhill surface smoothly. Note: When the HDC is working, it is normal for the brake system to generate slight vibration or working noise. Note: When the HDC is working, do not shift to N gear, since this operation will deactivate the HDC function. 170 Page 171

HDC is disabled by default. After the vehicle is powered on, for CVT model，HDC can be turned on by setting it on the entertainment display screen*. For MT model，the function can be enabled by operating the switch as shown in the figure. HDC system has four states as follows: 1 Standby: Press HDC switch to enable the function and enter into standby state. In this state, the indicator on the instrument pack illuminates in green. 2 Parking: In Standby mode, when the vehicle drives on the acute downhill surface at low speed, if the driver does not depress the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal, HDC automatically enters the Operating state. Meanwhile, the indicator on the instrument pack flashes in green, which may be accompanied by the working noise of the brake system, and the vehicle drives down the acute downhill surface smoothly. 3 Temporary Deactivation: Depress the accelerator pedal or brake pedal to a certain extent in Operating state, HDC will temporarily remove itself from the parking state.4 Off:
Press HDC switch again to disable the function. 171 5 Page 172

Active Rollover Protection (ARP) Active Rollover Protection ( ARP ) The ARP system is a driver aid to assist the stability of the vehicle. It is not a guarantee that the vehicle will not roll over. When the vehicle is at risk of rollover during dynamic driving (such as lane change) or steady driving (such as loop driving), the ARP will automatically brake the outside wheels to cause the vehicle to understeer and prevent rollover. Note: With ARP in use, the vehicle under-steers and it is normal if it fails to steer in accordance to driver expectations. 173 5 Page 174

Emergency Braking Hazard Warning Strobe (HAZ)* If the driver makes an emergency braking manoeuvre and certain conditions are met while driving, the brake lamps will automatically flash to alert the drivers behind, thereby reducing the risk of rear-end collision accidents. Note: If the hazard warning lamps are being operated manually, this suspends the HAZ function. When the emergency braking manoeuvre is exited, the HAZ function will be switched off after a few seconds. Note: As the car speed drops to below 6 mph (10 km/h) and the system no longer flashes the brake lamps, the hazard warning lamps will illuminate automatically. Short press the hazard warning lamp switch or increase your speed to above 12 mph (20 km/h) for 5 s to switch off the hazard warning lamps. 174 Page 175

Multi-Collision Brake System(MCB)* The MCB function will automatically apply the brake to reduce the vehicle speed and improve the vehicle stability after a collision. It is designed to reduce the risk of a secondary collision caused by the uncontrolled movementof the vehicle after a collision. The MCB will be activated when the following conditions are all met at the same time: • A vehicle collision where airbags are deployed; • The vehicle speed is less than 60 km/h; • The steering wheel has not been turned in excess of 180° ; • SCS is fault free. If the driver firmly presses the accelerator pedal after the MCB function is triggered, the system will exit the braking state. Note: The MCB function cannot decelerate the vehicle in all cases of collision due to the fact that the collision process may cause some parts to malfunction or fail and affect the normal operation of the function. 175 5 Page 176

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System(Tpms)*
TPMS can not replace routine maintenance and checks of the tyre condition and pressure. Using equipment that transmits on frequencies similar to that of the TPMS may interfere with the operation of the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, this may illuminate a warning or register a temporary fault. TPMS uses pressure sensors built into tyre valves tocontinuously monitor pressure and transmit data to the ECU inside the vehicle using RF signals. If it deduces that the pressure of that tyre has fallen below the predefined limit of the system, the warning light in the instrument pack will illuminate (always yellow). Formore information, please refer to ‘Instrument Pack’ in‘Instruments and Controls’ section. TPMS can remind you of low tyre pressure, but it can not replace normal tyre maintenance. For tyre maintenance, please refer to ‘Tyres’ in ‘Maintenance’ chapter. Note: TPMS only gives the driver a warning when the tyre pressure is low, and it will not inflate the tyre. If the TPMS malfunction indicator lamp illuminates, and the warning message such as “ XX Tyre Pressure Insufficient” or “ XX Tyre Pressure Low” is displayed, it is advised that you should stop the vehicle as soon as possible, check the tyre pressure and inflate the tyre to the standard pressure value. The tyre pressure label attached to the B pillar indicates the standard pressure value required by your vehicle tyres when they are cold. Driving with under-inflated tyres may overheat and cause tyre fault.Over or under-inflated tyres wear out more rapidlyand also have a detrimental effect on the car’s handlingcharacteristics. Under-inflated tyres increase the rollingresistance of the car which, in turn, increases power. TPMS Self-learning When replacing a TPMS sensor or receiver, or performing tyre rotation, TPMS self-learning is required, some 176 Page 177

Constant Speed Cruise Control* • Speed Adjustment Knob ( 1 ) • Pilot Switch ( 2 ) Cruise control enables the driver to maintain a constant road speed without using the accelerator pedal. This is particularly useful for motorway cruising, or for any journey where a constant speed can be maintained for a lengthy period. Cruise Control System Activation The cruise control system is operated using the cruise switch located on the left side of the steering wheel. 1 When the ignition/Start/Stop switch is in the ON/READY/RUNNING position and the speed is greater than 25 mph( 40 km/h), short press the Pilot switch( 2 )to activate the Cruise Control system. The constant speed cruise indicator lamp in the instrument pack illuminates green. The target speed of the cruise system will be set at the actual speed the vehicle is traveling when it is activated, and the target speed is displayed below constant speed cruise control indicator lamp. After activation, the cruise control system will maintain the target speed without pressing the accelerator pedal. 2 If the cruise control system is in the Standby state and the current speed is greater than 25 mph（40 km/h）, the cruise control system can also be activated by pressing the speed adjustment knob ( 1 ). The target speed of the cruise system will be set at the actual 209 7 Page 210
Intelligent Driver Assistance
speed the vehicle is traveling when it is activated, the target speed is displayed below constant speed cruise control indicator lamp. Note: The adjustment knob can be operated in various ways such as being moved up/down, or being pressed. Pressing the adjustment knob when the constant speed cruise control system is activated will update the vehicle speed to the current speed. Target Cruise Speed Adjustment When the cruise control is active: The vehicle can still be accelerated by pressing the accelerator pedal (such as overtaking). When the new desired speed is achieved, press the speed adjustment knob ( 1 ) to update the target cruise speed to the current speed. Push the knob ( 1 ) upwards/downwards and and hold to accelerate or decelerate automatically, then release the switch when the desired speed is reached. In addition, pushing the knob upwards/downwards and releasing immediately can adjust the speed. Each push will increase or decrease the speed appr. 1 mph（1 km/h）. When the cruise control system is in operation, the vehicle can still be accelerated by pressing the accelerator pedal (such as overtaking). Releasing the accelerator pedal will return the vehicle to the set cruise speed. Pause Cruise control will drop from active to Standby, and the constant cruise control indicator lamp in the instrument panel will illuminate white if: • Short press Pilot Switch ( 2 ). • Brake pedal is applied. • The shift control knob is moved to N position. • Poor road conditions may lead to the activation of the Stability Control System ( SCS ). For safety reasons, the cruise control system will automatically exit to Standby state. • Undulating roads or hills may cause the vehicle's speed to drop or rise excessively, and the cruise control system will automatically exit to the Standby state. • The electronic parking brake ( EPB ) is activated. 210 Page 211
Intelligent Driver Assistance
Resume When the cruise control remains in Standby after the disengagement, move the speed adjustment knob ( 1 ) upwards once to activate it again. The target cruise speed will return to the target speed before exiting the cruise control system.Off
Long press the Pilot switch ( 2 ) to turn off the cruise control system. Note: • Do not use the constant speed cruise control system in unsuitable conditions, such as in rainy days, on slippery surfaces, or in traffic conditions that do not allow to maintain a constant speed. • ALWAYS turn off the constant speed cruise control system when it is not in use. • When the vehicle is in "Sport" mode, it is not recommended to use the constant speed cruise control system. • During the operation of cruise control system, the actual speed may deviate from the target speed to some extent due to control precision or road conditions. • Excessive deviation of the actual vehicle speed from the target speed due to a slope or road surface, etc., or triggering the SCS to operate may cause the constant speed cruise control system to automatically exit to the "Standby" mode. • Do not press a switch for excessively long periods, or press multiple switches simultaneously, this may cause the constant speed cruise control system to fail. If this situation occurs, when it is safe to do so, please restart the vehicle. 211 7 Page 212

Adaptive Cruise Control( ACC )* The adaptive cruise control system is designed as a comfort system. It provides assistance to the driver, but DOES NOT replace any of the driver’s responsibilities. When using the adaptive cruise control system, it is important that the driver maintains concentration at ALL times and is prepared to take action. Otherwise, accidents or personal injuries may occur. Depending on whether there is vehicle ahead, the adaptive cruise control system can also conduct automatic switching between constant speed cruise and car-following cruise. With the adaptive cruise control system, the vehicle is allowed to conduct constant speed cruise within a certain speed range, or conduct car-following cruise by setting the distance between the vehicle and vehicles ahead. If a vehicle is detected in your driving path, the ACC system may apply moderate brakes or acceleration to maintain the selected following distance. Note: The adaptive cruise control system is designed for highways and roads in good condition. It is recommended that it is NOT used on urban roads and mountain roads. Adaptive Cruise Activation After following the vehicle ahead to a stop, the driver must ensure that there are no obstacles or other traffic participants, such as pedestrians,directly in front of the vehicle before starting off to follow the vehicle ahead again. Whilst using the car following cruise function, it is strongly recommended that the driver does not touch the accelerator pedal. Any activation of the accelerator will not allow the adaptive cruise control system to automatically apply the brakes, and the vehicle is only controlled by the driver's manipulation of the accelerator pedal. 212 Page 213

Do
Not
exit the vehicle when the adaptive cruise control system keeps the car stationary. Before exiting the car, the shift control knob should be in the P position and the Start switch should beOff.
If the adaptive cruise control system keeps the car stationary, the driver still needs to pay full attention and be ready to apply the brakes manually. Note that if the system is disabled, turned off or cancelled, the vehicle will no longer stay still, it may move forward or slip backward. When driving on a bend, the adaptive cruise control may actively reduce the vehicle speed to maintain vehicle stability and safety. 1 Adjustment Knob 2 Pilot Switch The adaptive cruise control system can be set using a combination of switches in the entertainment display and the left side of steering wheel. 1 If the switch in the entertainment display is in the OFF state, the adaptive cruise control system is in the OFF state. 2 Move the switch in the entertainment display the ON state, and short press Pilot switch ( 2 ), the indicator light for the adaptive cruise control system 213 7 Page 214
Intelligent Driver Assistance
on the instrument pack will turn blue, and the adaptive cruise control system is in Activated state ，The speed should be more than 3 mph（5 km/h）for first activation, its target speed is the actual speed at activation ，If your vehicle speed is less than 20 mph （30 km/h）, then the target speed of the system is set at 20 mph（30 km/h）. If the speed of the vehicle ahead is greater than the target cruise speed of your vehicle, your vehicle will maintain the target speed to conduct constant speed cruise; if the speed of the vehicle ahead is lower than the target cruise speed of your vehicle, it will enter the car-following cruise, and the tail schematic of the vehicle ahead is displayed on the instrument pack. In the car-following cruise, you can follow the vehicle ahead to a stop. If the stop time is less than a certain time, your vehicle may automatically start off to follow the vehicle ahead, otherwise the driver needs to re-activate the adaptive cruise control system according to the instrument prompt. Note: Manual deactivation of either the Electronic Stability Controller （ （（Esc ）
） ）will inhibit the operation of the adaptive cruise control system. Adaptive Cruise Target Following Distance Adjustment When the adaptive cruise control system is activated, move the adjustment knob to the right (to increase the distance) or left (to decrease the distance) to adjust the following distance,there are 3 distance settings, the distance setting will be displayed on the instrument pack. Select an appropriate following distance according to the difference in relative speed with the vehicle ahead, the higher the relative speed, the longer the following distance that should be selected. Considering the traffic and weather conditions, the optional following distance range may not be suitable for all drivers and driving conditions. Adaptive Cruise Target Speed Adjustment When the adaptive cruise control system is active: • Use the accelerator pedal to reach the desired speed, press the adjustment knob ( 1 ), then release the adjustment knob and accelerator pedal. The vehicle will cruise at the desired speed. • Move the adjustment knob upward or hold, the target speed will increase until the desired set speed appears 214 Page 215
Intelligent Driver Assistance
on the instrument pack, then release the knob. When it is confirmed that there is no vehicle ahead or the vehicle ahead is beyond the pre-selected following distance, the vehicle speed can be increased to the set speed. • Move the adjustment knob downward or hold, the target speed will decrease until the desired set speed appears on the instrument pack, then release the knob, and the speed will be decreased to the set speed. Note: If the vehicle ahead continuously makes hard acceleration or deceleration, the ACC system may not be able to keep the following distance accurately, the driver must pay attention and perform the operations such as braking or lane change in time according to the surrounding environment. Adaptive Cruise Pause When the adaptive cruise control system is activated, short press the Pilot switch to cancel the function, and the system will exit to the Standby state. Automatic Deactivation of Adaptive Cruise In the following situations, the adaptive cruise controlsystem may be automatically deactivated, this transfers full control of the vehicle to the driver: • Operate the switch to turn off the ACC; • Press the brake pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion; • Move the shift control knob to either R or N position; • The driver unfastens his/her seat belt; • Press and hold the accelerator pedal beyond a preset time period; • Open any door, bonnet or tailgate; • Pull the EPB switch up to apply the parking brake; • Follow the vehicle ahead to a stop and the stop timeexceeds a certain period of time. • The camera or radar view is blocked, the surrounding environment triggers the preset safe exit mechanism of the sensors, or the system fails. Note: If following the vehicle ahead to a stop with the adaptive cruise control system enabled, if any of the following conditions occur whilst the vehicle is in a stopped state, the EPB will automatically be applied: • The driver unfastens the seat belt; • The driver door is opened; • The stationary time exceeds the preset time period. 215 7 Page 216
Intelligent Driver Assistance
Adaptive Cruise Override If the driver has cause to use the accelerator pedalwhen the adaptive cruise control system is activated, the vehicle will remain in Cruise mode while the vehicle speed increases. When the accelerator pedal is released, the adaptive cruise control system will resume to operate at previously set cruise speed. Adaptive Cruise Resume If the adaptive cruise control system has reverted to, or been switched to, the Standby mode it can be reactivated by moving the adjustment knob upwards.The target cruise speed will automatically be set to thetarget speed before exiting the adaptive cruise control system. Clearing Target Speed Memory Turning off the switch of adaptive cruise control system on the entertainment display will turn off the adaptive cruise control system, synchronously clearing the system’s set speed in the memory. Switching off the ignition will also clear the set speed stored. Adaptive Cruise Control System Impairmentand Ineffectiveness: • Encounters a vehicle or object which is stationary ortraversing the lanes; • Approaching the vehicle ahead too fast, and the system cannot apply sufficient braking force; • The vehicle ahead is an oncoming vehicle, or makes an emergency braking manoeuvre; • The vehicle ahead reverses; • A vehicle suddenly cuts into the lane in front; • Encounters a vehicle driving at a low speed; • Encounters a vehicle with loaded items protruding from the body profile of the vehicle; • Encounters a vehicle with a higher chassis (e.g., a truck); • Encounters pedestrians, non-motor vehicles or animals; • The vehicle is driving on an uneven road or a complex traffic road section; • The vehicle makes a sharp turn; • Enters and leaves a tunnel or drives in the tunnel; • Drives in the shade of mottled trees; 216 Page 217
Intelligent Driver Assistance
• Excessive weight being carried in the boot space orcargo area causing the front of the car to point upwards. Special Driving Environments The adaptive cruise control system has it's limitations.Listed below are some conditions that may be beyond thesafe operating limits. The driver should maintain controlof the vehicle and must remain alert at all times. Theyshould pay special attention to the traffic conditions andsurroundings, select the appropriate speed and be readyto take any required actions. 1 When turning at the intersection or driving into or out of the curve following the vehicle ahead, the adaptive cruise control system may be unable to detect the vehicle ahead on the same lane, or may respond to the vehicles in another lane. Note: DO NOT use the adaptive cruise control system on entrance/exit ramps or sharp curves. 217 7 Page 218
Intelligent Driver Assistance
2 If the vehicle ahead changes the lane, but does not drive into the new lane completely, the adaptive cruise control system may be unable to detect the vehicle. If the vehicle ahead changes lanes, but does not exit the lane completely, the adaptive cruise control system may determine that the vehicle ahead has already left and accelerates. 3 When driving on uneven roads that may include steepclimbs or dips please DO NOT use the adaptive cruisecontrol system.. 4 When driving behind a vehicle that is only partiallyoverlapping your vehicle, A in the graphic, the adaptivecruise control system may be unable to detect anything. 218 Page 219

Note: Please DO NOT use the adaptive cruise control system in the following situations: • Driving in bad weather conditions; • When the ambient light is insufficient, the light is too bright, or the forward lighting of the vehicle is poor; • Driving on rough or poor road surfaces; • Driving through roadworks or construction sites; • Driving on low friction roads (the rapid change of the tyre traction may result in the excessive wheel slip). 219 7 Page 220
Intelligent Driver Assistance
Intelligent Cruise Assit( ICA )* Intelligent cruise assist is an auxiliary function that provides driver assistance. It provides assistance to the driver, it DOES NOT replace any of the drivers responsibilities. Due to the limitations of system detection and control when using the intelligent cruise assist, the driver must always hold the steering wheel, pay attention to the surrounding environment of the vehicle, and correct or take over the steering wheel control when necessary, otherwise accidents or personal injuries may be caused. • Adjustment Knob ( 1 ); • Pilot Switch ( 2 ); The system switch is located in the entertainment display, and the system can be turned on/off in the appropriate Driver Assistance interface. When the following conditions are met: • The traffic jam assist system switch on the entertainment display is on; • The system detects the lane lines on both sides of the vehicle; • The vehicle is in Drive gear. Short press the Pilot switch to activate the traffic jam assist system. The traffic jam assist system works on the same basis of the adaptive cruise control system. If the lane lines ahead on both sides are clear, the system will assist the vehicle in driving within the lane; if there is a vehicle ahead and the lane lines are not clear when driving at a low speed, the system can assist the vehicle in following the track of the vehicle ahead. Note: With the ACC system activated, the traffic jam assist system can be activated without pressing the MG Pilot switch when the above conditions are met. 220 Page 221
Intelligent Driver Assistance
When the system detects that the driver has not controlled the steering wheel in a certain period of time, it will give warnings to prompt the driver. Note: Drivers should adjust their vehicle speed and distance from the vehicle ahead based on road visibility, weather, and road traffic conditions. The intelligent cruise assist system will not respond to pedestrians, animals, stationary vehicles, vehicles crossing the lane, or oncoming vehicles on the same lane. If the intelligent cruise assist system cannot fully reduce the speed, braking should be carried out by pressing the brake pedal. In congested conditions, if other vehicles enter this lane due to congestion, the braking may not be timely due to the vehicles not entering the system detection range. The driver should take the initiative to brake. The traffic jam assist system will be impaired orineffective in the following conditions: • The driver turns on the turn signal lamps; • The driver turns on the hazard warning lamp; • The driver applies the accelerator rapidly, carries outan emergency manoeuvre or makes a hard brake pedal application; • The system detects that the driver has not moved thesteering wheel for a preset time period; • During system intervention, the steering wheel is beingmanipulated by the driver; • The lane line is too thin, damaged or fuzzy; • The vehicle is being driven on a bend with a smallcurvature radius, the road is too narrow or too wide; • The vehicle has just entered a road section with lanelines or is being driven on a road section without lanelines; • The vehicle is in R gear; • The vehicle changes lanes or sways laterally too fast; • The turning radius of the car using the traffic jam assistsystem to track in front is too small; • The anti-lock brake system ( ABS ) and the dynamic stability control system ( SCS ) are activated; • Faults exist in the anti-lock brake system ( ABS ), dynamicstability control system ( SCS ), electric power steeringsystem ( EPS ), etc. It is recommended to turn off the traffic jam assist system in the following situations: 221 7 Page 222
Intelligent Driver Assistance
• Driving in a sports style or manner; • Driving in bad weather conditions; • Driving on rough or poor road surfaces; • Driving through roadworks or construction sites; • Driving on steep, winding or slippery roads (such assnow covered and icy roads, wet roads and roadscovered with water); • Driving on grass tracks or unpaved roads.Important
• In cases where the number of lanes increase or lanes merge the driver MUST take full control of the vehicle. • In areas where there are complex traffic conditions such as intersections or road junctions with congestion, the driver MUST take full control. • The driver MUST be aware of the surroundings and be able to assume full control of the vehicle when using the traffic jam assist system to track the car in front should the need arise. 222 Page 223
Intelligent Driver Assistance
Intelligent Overspeed Warning* The intelligent speed assist system is an auxiliary function. It may display an incorrect speed limit value or no speed limit value in the instrument pack due to various factors. As a result, the vehicle speed is not restricted within the correct range. The driver still needs to observe the speed limit of the road traffic, and speeding is strictly prohibited. The front view camera cannot recognise speed limit signs painted on the road surface. The driver MUST observe these speed limits and adjust the their speed accordingly. The setting interface for the intelligent overspeed warning is in the entertainment display. The driver can operate the intelligent overspeed warning system using the soft switch in this display. The vehicle detects the speed limit sign (such as ) at the roadside with the front view camera. When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit indicated by the speed limit sign speed indicator, the indicator flashes accompanied by a warning sound to remind the driver to control the vehicle speed. The speed limit sign speed indicator illuminates when the intelligent overspeed warning is active. When the vehicle passes the first speed limit sign identified, the speed sign speed indicator displays the real-time speed limit value. If a speed limit sign with the same limit value is detected, the limit value displayed in the speed sign speed indicator remains. Note: If the vehicle changes lane, makes a turn, turns around in the intersection, or identifies the speed limit cancellation, the original speed limit value on the instrument pack may be reset and displayed as “–” till a new speed limit sign is detected. If the conditions are not met, the original speed limit value will maintain and not be reset. The driver MUST observe the speed limits and adjust the their speed accordingly. The intelligent overspeed warning system function may be impaired if: 1 The detection performance of front view camera is affected; 2 The vehicle is driven at a high speed; 223 7 Page 224
Intelligent Driver Assistance
3 The speed limit signs are obscured by trees at the roadside, ice/frost, snows, dust, etc; or the speed limit signs are placed improperly or damaged; 4 When there are several speed limit signs set up over the road or at the roadside, the overspeed warning will be carried out according to the maximum speed limit value.Important
• The camera may not correctly recognise speed limit signs during poor lighting conditions, bad weather, non-standardized or sheltered speed limit signs or the camera’s own restrictions which include the recognition of similar signs (e.g., recognise a weight limit sign as a speed limit sign, or recognise a minimum speed sign as the maximum speed sign). • The camera cannot identify the text provided below the speed limit sign, such as Auxiliary Lane, 100 m Ahead, School Section, 7:00-10:00 , etc. The camera will identify the speed limit sign with text as a normal speed limit sign. • Some drastic and rapid steering operations of the driver may be judged as changing lane or turning around in the intersection by the system, resulting in the identified speed limit signs being cleared. • In cases where a speed limit sign contains multiple speed limits. The camera may not identify all the speed limits. 224 Page 225
Intelligent Driver Assistance
Speed Limit Assistance System* Speed Limit Assistance System The speed limit assistance system is only an auxiliary function. In cases where the speed limit sign is not standardized or the front view camera is blocked, the wrong speed limit value or no speed limit value may be displayed on the instrument pack, and the vehicle is not restricted in the correct speed range, so the driver still needs to be responsible for real-time evaluation of the speed limit on the road. The front view camera cannot recognise speed limit signs painted on the road surface. The driver MUST observe these speed limits and adjust the their speed accordingly. The setting interface of the speed limit assistance system is located in the entertainment display. Enter the Vehicle Settings - Speed Limit Assistance System interface to select from the following modes: Smart, Manual and Off. 1 Smart: i.e. smart speed limit.

Lane Departure Assist* The lane departure assist system is an auxiliary system, which can provide assistance to the driver. It does NOT remove the responsibility of safe driving from the driver. When choosing to use the lane keeping assist system, the driver MUST always pay attention to the surroundings, hold the steering wheel and be prepared to make manoeuvres at any time. Failure to maintain overall control of the vehicle may result in an accident or personal injury. The lane departure assist system does not always recognise the lane lines or kerbs. Sometimes poor road surfaces, certain road structures or objects may be mistaken for lane lines or kerbs. When such situations occur, the lane departure assist system must be turned off immediately. The lane departure assist system switch is located on the entertainment display. The system can be turned on/off in the appropriate Intelligent Driver Assistance interface, and the mode can be selected. Alert The system detects the lane lines ahead when the following detection conditions are met: • The function is in ON state; • The vehicle speed is above 60 km/h; • The lane lines are clear, and the system detects at least one lane line; When the wheel is about to press the lane line or has already pressed the lane line, the system will give warnings to remind the driver to correct the direction in time and keep the vehicle running within the lane lines. The function will exit when the speed is less than 55 km/h. Assist The system uses the front view camera to detect the lane lines ahead of the vehicle. The system will be activated when the following detection conditions are met: • The function is switched ON. • Vehicle speed is above 60 km/h. 229 7 Page 230

Ultrasonic Sensor Parking Aid* The purpose of the parking assist system is only to assist the driver during parking! The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to detect certain types of obstruction, e.g. narrow posts, small objects close to the ground, objects above the tailgate and some objects with nonreflective surfaces. Keep the ultrasonic sensors free of dirt, ice and snow. If deposits build up on the surface of an ultrasonic sensor, its performance may be impaired. When washing the car, avoid aiming high pressure water jets directly at the ultrasonic sensors from close range. Rear Parking Aid The ultrasonic sensors on the rear bumper monitor the area behind the vehicle to search for obstacles. If an obstacle is detected, the system will calculate its distance from the rear of the vehicle and communicates the message to the driver by sounding warning chimes. Note: The PDC system and rearward driver assistance system are unavailable when the tow mode is enabled. Parking Aid Operation Rear Parking Aid The rear parking aid is enabled automatically when the R gear is selected; and when it is moved out of the R gear, the system will be immediately shut off. A short beep is given by the parking aid after selecting R gear to indicate that the system is operating normally. If an obstacle is detected at the rear, the system will prompt the driver with warning alarms. Note: If a longer, higher pitched sound is emitted for 3 seconds when the R gear is selected, this indicates a fault in the system. In this case seek assistance from an MG Authorised Repairer. Rear Parking Aid With the parking aid function enabled, if an obstacle is detected, the audible sounds in different frequencies are transmitted (there might be blind zones). 241 7 Page 242

Drive Fatigue Monitoring System* The driver should always ensure that their physical state is suitable for driving,even if the vehicle is equipped with an indirect driver fatigue reminder system.Never
drive the vehicle when fatigued. The indirect driver fatigue reminder system cannot always identify the driver's fatigue level accurately. It calculates the fatigue level through the driver's operational control status instead of monitoring the driver's actual physical characteristics such as distraction, it cannot provide an emergency reminder to the driver who has just become fatigued. The driver attention warning system calculates the driver's fatigue level by comparing information such as vehicle speed and steering wheel angle with basic data obtained based on mass data statistics. The system will constantly compare the calculated fatigue level with the current operational state of the driver. If the system recognizes that the driver is becoming fatigued, a warning will be issued. When the indirect driver fatigue reminder system is active, the vehicle speed is over 37 mph/ 60 km/h. When the driver performs the following operations, the system will stop monitoring the driver's fatigue level: 1 The driver removes the seat belt and opens the driver door; 2 The stop time exceeds 15 minutes; 3 The ignition or power system is turned off. System Settings After the vehicle starts, the indirect driver fatigue reminder system is enabled by default, and can be turned off/on and sensitivity set in the entertainment display screen. Note: The indirect driver fatigue reminder system is not easily triggered if the vehicle is passing through low-quality road sections, continuous bends, or sections with large amounts of traffic lights. 245 7 Page 247

Washer Washer Fluid Check and Top Up Windscreen washer fluid is flammable. DO NOT allow windscreen washer fluid to come into contact with naked flames or sources of ignition. When filling the washer fluid, do not let the washer fluid spill around the powertrain or on the paint surface of vehicle body. In case the washer fluid is spilled on hands or other parts of the body, please immediately wash with clean water. Check the washer fluid level regularly. When the level of washer fluid is low, please top up the washer fluid as instructed. Use the washer fluid recommended and certified by the manufacturer. Refer to "Recommended Fluids and Capacities" in the "Technical Data" section. Note: DO NOT use an anti-freeze or vinegar/water solution in the washer reservoir-anti-freeze will damage paintwork while vinegar will damage the washer pump. 309 9 Page 310
Maintenance
Important
• Use the washer fluid recommended and certified by the manufacturer. Misuse of washer fluid in winter may cause damage to the washer motor due to freezing. • Operating on the washer switch when there is no washer fluid may cause damage to the washer motor. • Operating the wipers when the windscreen is dry and there is no washer fluid may cause damage to the windscreen and wiper blades. Please spray the washer fluid and start the wipers when there is adequate washer fluid. Washer Nozzles The windscreen washer nozzles are located on the A/C air intake grille panel in the front compartment, and is configured during the factory settings, so generally there are no need for adjustments. To adjust a washer nozzle, you can insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver in the gap (the black area indicated by the arrow) between the housing ( 1 ) and the nozzle ( 2 ) and turn the nozzle downward or upward slightly to obtain an appropriate ejection angle. Operate the washer to spray water periodically to check if the washer nozzles are clean and in the correct direction. If the nozzle is obstructed, insert a needle or thin metal wire into the hole to remove the obstruction. 310 Page 311

Tyres Overview • Take extra care when using new tyres for the first 300 300 miles ( 500 km) • Avoid excessive cornering at speed. • Where possible, do not allow wheels to bump on/off kerbs, always take extra care when crossing kerbs/driveways. • Regularly check tyres for damage (cuts, scratches, cracks and pits) and remove any foreign objects from the tread. • Prevent the tyre from contacting oil, grease and fuel. • Ensure valve caps are always fitted. • If the tyre is to be removed always mark the tyre/wheel orientation to ensure correct re-installation. • Wheels or tyres that have been disassembled should be kept in a cool, dry and light-free place. Directional Tyres Directional tyres are marked with "direction of rotation"(Dor).
To maintain handling characteristics, tyre performance, low road noise and extend tyre life, tyres/wheels must always be fitted with indication arrow showing the correct "DOR". 317 9 Page 318
Maintenance
Service Life of Tyres Correct tyre pressure and moderate driving styles can extend tyre life.. Recommendations: • Check the tyre pressures at least once a month when the tyre is cold; • Avoid cornering at excessive speeds; • Regularly check tyres for abnormal wear patterns. • When the vehicle is to be parked for a long time, the vehicle should be moved at least once every two weeks to prevent permanent deformation of the tyres due to long-term stress. The following factors affect the tyre life: Tyre Pressure Over or under-inflated tyres will cause the abnormal wear of the tyre, greatly shorten the service life, and have an adverse effect on the driving characteristics of the vehicle. Driving Style Excessively harsh acceleration and braking whilst cornering will reduce tyre life. Wheel Balance The wheels of a new vehicle are subject to dynamic balance testing, but out-of-balance wheels may still be caused due to the effects of various factors in operation. If wheels are out of balance, shaking or vibration of the steering mechanism may occur and the tyres may start to wear excessively. It is important to restore wheel balance as quick as possible. Each wheel should be rebalanced after installing a new tyre or having a tyre repair. Wheel Alignment Defect Incorrect wheel alignment can cause excessive tyre wear and affect vehicle safety. If the tyres show signs of abnormal wear, check the wheel alignment and seek advice from an MG Authorised repairer. 318 Page 319

Tyres
Are
DANGEROUS! DO NOT drive if any tyre is damaged, excessively worn, or inflated to an incorrect pressure. When replacing tyres it is strongly recommended that the new tyres are of the same specification as the original tyres. DO NOT replace the tyres with tyres of any other type. Alternative tyres, of a different specification, may adversely affect the vehicle's driving characteristics and safety. In order to maintain driving characteristics and safety , it is suggested that you consult an MG Authorised Repairer. Always drive with consideration for the condition of the tyres, and regularly inspect the tread and side walls for any sign of distortion (bulges), cuts or wear. Note: Prevent tyres from coming into contact with oil, grease and fuel. Tyre Pressure Before a long distance journey, the tyre pressure must be checked. Check the pressures at least every month, when the tyres are cold. If it is necessary to check the tyres when they are warm, you should expect the pressures to have increased by 30 ～40 kPa (i.e. 0.3 ～0.4 bar). In this circumstance, NEVER let air out of the tyres in order to match the recommended pressures (cold) in the technical data. Valves Keep the valve caps firmly secured to prevent dirt from entering the valve. Check the valve for leaks (listen for a tell-tale hissing) when you check the tyre pressure. Punctured Tyres Your vehicle is fitted with tyres which may not leak if penetrated by a sharp object, provided the object remains in the tyre. If you are aware of this occurring, reduce speed immediately and drive with caution until the spare wheel can be fitted, or repairs undertaken. 319 9 Page 320
Maintenance
Note: If the sidewall of the tyre is damaged or distorted, replace the tyre immediately, do not attempt to repair it. Tyre Wear Indicators The tyres fitted as original equipment have about 2.0 mm-high wear indicators at their tread pattern bottom, vertical with the wheel rolling direction and evenly distributed around the circumference. The mark on the tyre side such as capital letters TWI or triangular symbol shows the location of wear indicator. When the tread has worn down to 2.0 mm or below, the indicators will come to the surface of the tread pattern, producing the effect of a continuous band of rubber across the width of the tyre.Important
A tyre MUST be replaced as soon as a wear mark becomes visible. Otherwise there may be a risk of accidents. 320 Page 321
Maintenance
Wheel Fitment Rotation It is recommended that you swap wheels at irregular intervals in order to equalise tyre wear. When the tyres are worn seriously, it is recommended to swap the front and rear wheels as shown in illustration. This can prevent tyres from uneven wear, prolong the life span and balance tyre fatigue. It is favorable to swap the driving wheels from front to rear and exchange non-driving wheels across. Note: Directional tyres (identified from the arrow on the tyre side) CANNOT be swapped from side to side. Note: TPMS self-learning is required after the wheel fitment rotation. Please consult an MG Authorised Repairer for details. 321 9 Page 322
Maintenance
Tyre/Snow Chains Unsuitable tyre/snow chains may damage the tyres, wheels, suspension, brakes or bodywork of your vehicle. Please pay attention to the following requirements in the usage: • The tyre/snow chains can only be fitted on the front wheels; • The thickness of tyre/snow chains must not exceed 15 mm; • Please always observe the installation and tension instructions for the tyre/snow chains, as well as the speed limitations of different roads; • Please avoid driving styles where heavy braking, sharp turns, etc are required with tyre/snow chains installed. • If there are abnormal sounds during the use of tyre/snow chains, please park the vehicle in a safe area as soon as possible to check the chassis. • Do not drive faster than 25 mph( 40 km/h); • To avoid the tyre damage and excessive wear of the tyre/snow chains, the tyre/snow chains must be removed while driving on the road without snow.

Cleaning and Caring Observe all safety precautions on cleaning products; Do Not drink fluids and keep them away from the eyes. Exterior Washing Your Car In order to prevent accidents you should only clean your car when the power system is OFF. Do not clean the front compartment with high pressure water since it may damage the electrical system of the vehicle. Some high pressure cleaning systems will penetrate door, window and sunroof seals, and damage lock mechanisms.Do Not
aim water jets directly at components that might be easily damaged. In order to preserve the paint finish on your car, please observe the following care points: • DO NOT use hot water to wash the car. • DO NOT use detergents or washing up liquid. • In hot weather, DO NOT wash the car in direct sunlight. • When using a hose, DO NOT aim the water directly at window, door or sunroof seals, or through wheel apertures onto the brake components. If the car is particularly dirty, use a hose to flush grime and grit from the bodywork, prior to washing. Then, wash the car using cold or lukewarm water containing a good quality wash and wax shampoo. Always use plenty of water to ensure that grit is flushed from the surface and not ground into the paintwork. After washing, rinse the bodywork with clean water and dry off with a chamois leather. Cleaning the underside Do not clean the front compartment with high pressure water since it may damage the electrical system of the vehicle. From time to time, but particularly during winter months when salt has been used on the roads, use a hose to wash the underside of the car. Flush away accumulations of mud and thoroughly clean those areas where debris can easily collect (wheel arches and panel seams, for example). 323 9 Page 324
Maintenance
Important
• Avoid cleaning the vehicle in direct sunlight. • When cleaning the vehicle in winter avoid spraying water directly onto door locks and panel gaps due to risk of icing. • Do not use rough sponges or cloth to clean the car, this will damage the paintwork finish. • When cleaning the headlamps do not use a dry cloth or sponge, use only warm soapy water. Cleaning with High Pressure Cleaner Always read the manufacturers operating instructions. When using high pressure washers, always ensure there is adequate distance between the spray nozzle and any soft materials, decals or rubber seals. Note: DO NOT direct the pressure washer nozzle directly toward the high voltage components or high voltage connections.Important
• Please pay attention to the operating instructions of high pressure cleaner. • Soft parts on the vehicle should be kept in a large enough distance from the high pressure cleaner. Polishing the Paintwork Occasionally treat the paint surface with an approved polish containing the following properties: • Very mild abrasives to remove surface contamination without removing or damaging the paint. • Filling compounds that will fill scratches and reduce their visibility. • Wax to provide a protective coating between the paint and the elements. Note: If possible, avoid applying polish or wax products to window glass and rubber seals. Matte paint Matte paint is a special kind of coating, and special care should be taken when washing cars and caring for them. 324 Page 325
Maintenance
It is recommended to wash the car by hand and do not use a rough sponge or car wash cloth. When cleaning and wiping, do not use excessive force. Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight. • Do not use a high pressure water jet or steam to clean the vehicle. If the vehicle is quite dirty, it is necessary to pre-clean the car before washing it. Clean the body dust and other particles that may damage the paint surface first. • Spray the body with plenty of clean water and dry the body after washing it from the roof downwards using a soft sponge and neutral wax-free car wash solution. During the daily care of your car, attention shall also be paid to: • If the paint film comes into contact with resin or grease, as well as insect residue or bird excrement, remove it immediately to avoid irreversible damage to the matte paint surface. • If there are oil stains or fingerprints on the matte paint surface, remove them immediately with a clean cloth, do not use excessive force to avoid irreversible damage to the matte paint surface. • In order to maintain the matte effect of the paint surface, abrasives, polishes and polishing waxes cannot be used, and the body cannot be polished. • Do not use any stickers, patches, magnets or similar to prevent damage to the paint surface. • Be sure to repair the paint film in a qualified professional repair workshop. Wiper Blades Wash in warm soapy water. DO NOT use spirit or solvent based cleaners. Windows and Mirrors Regularly clean all windows, inside and out, using an approved glass cleaner. Windscreen: In particular, clean the outside of the screen with glass cleaner after washing the car with wash and wax products, and before fitting new wiper blades. Rear screen: Clean the inside with a soft cloth, using a side to side motion to avoid damaging the heating elements. 325 9 Page 326
Maintenance
Mirrors: Wash with soapy water. Use a plastic scraper to remove ice. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning compounds or metal scraper. Plastic Components Any plastic components should be cleaned using conventional cleaning methods and not be treated with abrasive materials. Paint Damage Any paint damage or stonechips should be treated with suitable paint/lacquer materials immediately to avoid invalidating the Anti Corrosion Warranty. Weather Strips Any weather strips or rubber aperture seals should be treated with suitable materials (silica gel) if they are cleaned using strong detergents, this should avoid any sticking and maintain the service life of the seal. Wheels When cleaning the wheels any materials orwater that contact the brake. In order to ensure the wheels are kept in optimum condition they should be cleaned regularly. Only use a recommended non-acidic propriety wheel cleaner. Always read the instructions on the product. 326 Page 327
