Press the ESC OFF switch after starting the
vehicle. The ESC OFF lamp on the instrument
cluster turns on, and some ESC functions are
disabled. Press the ESC switch again, the ESC
function is enabled again and the ESCOFF
indicator on the instrument cluster goes out.
Normally, it is not recommended to disable the
ESC system. The system should be disabled
temporarily only when the vehicle gets out of
the mire or the vehicle climbs on a snowfield,
etc.
Hill-start Hold Control (HHC) System *
The ESC system has the HHC function. The
function can help the vehicle to start easily on a
slope without using the parking brake.
ESC OFF Switch
Whether the driver is driving or reversing onto
a hill, the start assistant is provided through the
function. Therefore, engage gear before
starting, please.
When the hill-start hold control functions, after
the brake pedal is released, the vehicle still
keeps the braking force for 1-2s. In this case, the
vehicle will not slide backwards. For one MT
vehicle, the driver can focus on engagement of
accelerator and clutch in 2s, so as to deal with
the tense hill-start with ease.
In this 2s, if the driving force applied by the
driver is greater than the resistance which the
vehicle is subject to when running onto a hill,
the system will gradually reduce the braking
force and the vehicle starts running smoothly. If
the vehicle fails to start running in 2s, or the
driving force applied by the driver is insufficient,
the pressure of the brake system is released
automatically and the vehicle may start sliding a
slope. At the time, you can depress the brake
pedal to make the vehicle come to a complete
stop, and the system will still help you to
conduct the next start (when conditions are
met).
Conditions for the HHC system to function:
1. No fault exists on the system, and the
engine has been operating;
2. The vehicle is motionless and the brake
pedal is depressed;
3. The system detects that the gradient value
is met. (In theory, when the slope is > 4%,
the vehicle will nod during braking, and the
nodding angle will offset the slope. As a
result, the system may fail to be started on a
ramp whose slope is > 4%.)
4. When the vehicle is reversed onto a slope,
it is necessary to set to the reverse gear
firstly.
The HHC function may fail to prevent the
vehicle from sliding a slope on a very
slippery or steep hillside.
Only as one driver-assistance measure, the
HHC function cannot supersede the
parking brake function.
Always conduct the parking brake when
getting out of the vehicle. If there is no
sufficient driving force provided after the
brake pedal is released, the vehicle will
slide backwards. In this case, please
immediately draw back the parking brake
and depress the brake pedal.
If the engine flames out during the process,
please immediately draw back the parking
brake and depress the brake pedal.
Warnings
DRIVING AND CONTROLS
The parking brake impacts rear wheels.
The parking brake lever is between two front-
row seats.
If you are to use the parking brake, you should
stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal and
tension the parking brake lever.
When you are to release the parking brake,
depress the brake pedal and take the following
measures:
1. Draw back the parking brake lever slightly.
2. Press the button on the parking brake
lever joint.
3. Release the parking brake lever when
holding the button pressed.
Parking Brake
Mechanical Hand Brake*
When parking on a downhill or uphill
pavement, tension the parking brake as tightly
as possible.
Ÿ When parking the vehicle on one uphill
ramp, turn the front wheels away from the
road shoulder.
Ÿ When parking the vehicle on one downhill
ramp, turn the front wheels towards the
road shoulder.
Vehicle equipped with a manual transmission:
1. Turn the gear lever to the neutral gear
when parking the vehicle on the
horizontal ground.
2. Turn the gear lever to the reverse (R) gear
when parking the vehicle towards the
downhill direction.
3. Turn the gear lever to Gear 1 (turn the
automatic transmission to Gear D) when
parking the vehicle towards Gear D).
When parking one automatic model with dual
clutch transmission, engage Gear P on all
pavements.
If the parking brake is not engaged
cor rec tly , t he v ehi cle m ay mov e
automatically due to out-of-control in
some cases (such as in case of parking on
a ramp) and thus a danger may be
caused.
When necessary, please have the MG
Authorised Service Center adjust.
Caution
Do not drive the vehicle with the parking
brake not released; otherwise the rear
wheel brake may get overheated or be
subject to premature wear. As a result,
you must replace the rear wheel brake;
otherwise, other components of the
vehicle may get damaged.
