If the brake is unable to brake temporarily due
to overheat.
Engage a lower gear when driving downhill and
use the engine to brake.
If the brake is unable to brake temporarily due
to wet components, the normal performance
can be recovered with the help of following
procedures:
1. Check whether there are vehicles behind
your vehicle.
2. Keep safe driving speed to ensure there is
sufficient space behind your vehicle and at
both sides of your vehicle.
3. Carefully depress the brake till the normal
performance is recovered.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
As one advanced electric braking system, the
anti-lock brake system (ABS) is helpful in
avoiding the vehicle from slipping and losing
control, and this system can also provide the
maximum braking capability on the slipped
pavement.
When the ignition switch is turned on, the ABS
warning lamp illuminates momentarily. The
ABS warning lamp does not go out or
illuminates when the vehicle is running, it
indicates that the ABS is faulted. Please
immediately contact the MG Authorised
Service Center. Refer to “ABS Warning
Lamp” under Chapter “Instrument and
Control Device”.
The ABS will monitor the speed of each wheel
during braking. If one wheel tends to be
locked, the system will control brakes of two
front whe e l s a n d t w o r e a r w h e els
respectively. When the ABS works, the brake
pedal often vibrates slightly with noise.
If the ABS gets faulted, it may be unable
to function, wheels may be locked in case
of emergency brake, and the vehicle may
be unable to steer or may steer suddenly.
Warnings
The ABS will neither change the time
required for brake engagement, nor
shorten the braking distance. Sufficient
braking distance must be kept even the
ABS is equipped.

Electric Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
System
The EBD system uses the high-speed
computer to respectively induce and calculate
different ground to which four wheels are
attached, and thus calculate different friction
values at the moment the vehicle brakes.
Therefore, four wheels can be able to brake in
different ways and force based on different
conditions, and can be adjusted fast during
movement, so as to ensure that the vehicle is
stable and safe.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
System
The ESC system is a new-type active safety
system, representing the further development
of the functions of anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and traction control system (TCS). In
addition, the yaw rate sensor, lateral
acceleration sensor and steering wheel turn
DRIVING AND CONTROLS
angle sensor are added. The driving force and
braking force of front and rear, left and right
wheels are controlled through the ECU, which
ensures the lateral stability of the vehicle.
When the driver operates the vehicle beyond
the limit values, in case of turning at high
speed, the ESC system automatically
intervenes to ensure that the vehicle returns
to be controllable and ensure the safety.
Indicators relevant to the ESC system include
ABS fault indicator, EBD fault indicator, ESC
indicator and ESCOFF indicator.
1. Indicators illuminate for self-inspect when
the ignition is connected. The 4 indicators
are normally on for 3s, indicating that the
ESC system is conducting self-inspect and
indicators work normally. The 4
indicators go out 3s later under the
normal condition. When faults (such as
neglected inst a l l a t i o n , l o o s ened
c o n n e c t o r , a b n o r m a l C A N
communication) exist on the ESC system,
only the ESC OFF lamp will go out 3s later,
and other 3 lamps are normally on.
2. During driving, if the ESC function is
activated, the ESC indicator will flicker,
telling the Owner that the ESC system is
working. If the ESC system functions
abnormally but the ABS+EBD system
functions normally, the ESC indicator is
normally on, indicating that the ESC
system gets faulted. If the ESC system and
the ABS function abnormally but the EBD
system functions normally, the ESC and
ABS indicators are normally on. If the ESC
system, the ABS and the EBD system
function abnormally, the ESC, ABS and
EBD indicators are normally on.
3. The ESC OFF lamp is used to indicate that
the ESC function is disabled (the lamp will
be normally on so long as the ESC function
is disabled; the lamp will go out if the
function is enabled). If the user presses the
ESC OFF switch, some ESC functions will
be disabled, and the ESC OFF lamp
illuminates. When the switch is pressed,
the ESC system is working, and the ESC
function will not be disabled immediately
and will be disabled after the work is over.
If the user presses the ESC switch again, all
functions will be enabled again. If the
pressed time of ESC switch exceeds 10s,
the ESC system will consider it as one
incorrect operation (for example, the

system to function on an icy, snowy and
slippery pavement, the ESC system shall

disabled.
4. The ESC system will be activated
automatically after every re-ignition.
