Run Downhill
If you depress the brake pedal continuously
for a long time, the brake may get overheated,
and thus the braking performance may be
reduced and be invalid. When the vehicle is
running down a long slope, after you depress
the brake pedal to reduce the vehicle speed,
push the gear lever from the drive (D) gear
right into the (S) position and toggle it to the
(-) position, and engage a low gear.
In this way, the braking function of engine can
be activated to reduce the vehicle speed, and
thus the load of brake is lowered.
Protection Mode
Transmission Overheat Protection
If the vehicle starts frequently in the hot
environment or when the transmission is in
the overload state, the automatic dual clutch
transmission may get very hot.
To avoid any damage to the transmission, the
system will activate the overheat protection
function, and at the same time the instrument
cluster emergency parking (EP) indicator will
illuminate or display the relevant warning icon
and information accompanied with alarm
sounds. In this case, please park the vehicle
safely and switch to the P gear to cool the
transmission.
If the instrument cluster warning information
remains the same or still exists 20 min later
since you operate as per the information tips
above, please contact the MG Authorised
Service Center for overhaul as soon as
possible. Otherwise, the transmission may get
seriously damaged.
Limp Home Mode
When some faults exist on the transmission,
the transmission will enter the limp home
mode (in this case, it can work only at some
gears, and the vehicle may be unable to run at
the reverse (R) gear in individual cases), and
the transmission MIL of instrument cluster
illuminates. If the transmission enters the
limping mode, please contact the MG
Authorised Service Center for overhaul as
soon as possible.
Do not shift gear manually in the limp home
mode.
Serious Functional Fault
When some serious functional faults exist on
the transmission, the system will cut off power
transmission from the engine to the clutch
forcibly for the purpose of transmission
protection, and thus the vehicle will be unable
to run! If the transmission enters the limping
mode, please contact the MG Authorised
Service Center for overhaul as soon as
possible.
The instrument cluster emergency
p a r k i n g ( E P ) i n d i c a t o r a n d t h e
transmission MIL illuminate, indicating
that the transmission gets seriously
overheated or some functional faults
exist on the transmission. Please park the
vehicle safely and contact the MG
Authorised Service Center as soon as
possible.
