INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE VEHICLE
In an Emergency

IMPORTANT

Remember the breakdown safety code


If a breakdown occurs while travelling:
• Wherever possible, consistent with road safety and
traffic conditions, the car should be moved off the
main thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by. If a
breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to
the inside of the hard shoulder.
• Switch on hazard lights.
• If available, position a warning triangle or a flashing
amber light 50 to 150 metres (150 to 500 ft) behind
your vehicle to warn approaching traffic. Note it is a
legal requirement of some countries that a warning
triangle is carried in the vehicle, if in doubt consult
the local highways agency for further information.
• Consider evacuating passengers through nearside
doors onto the verge to reduce risk of injury in the
event of collision.

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.

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 5
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.
Note: The ARP system cannot overcome the laws of
physics. It is a driver aid to assist the stability of
the vehicle and under extreme conditions. It is not a
guarantee that the car will not roll over.

SAFETY
Emergency Braking Hazard Warning
Lights Control (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.

Pedestrian Alert System

In order to improve the safety, your car is fitted with a


Pedestrian Alert System. When the vehicle is travelling at
a low speed, on electrical power, the system controls a
speaker that sounds to remind pedestrians in the vicinity
of your presence.

Strategies of sounding warnings


The speaker sounds when all of the following conditions 5
are met:
1 The vehicle is Running/Ready;
2 The pedestrian alert system is fault free;

Tyre tyres/wheels must always be fitted with indication arrow

Overview
• Take extra care when using new tyres for the first 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.

322
MAINTENANCE
Note: If the sidewall of the tyre is damaged or

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. 9
IMPORTANT

A tyre MUST be replaced as soon as a wear mark


becomes visible. Otherwise there may be a risk of
accidents.

323
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
