recommended by MG Motor. Add fluid into
the reservoir to reach a proper level. The fluid
level shall not be lower than the MIN
(minimum) mark or higher than the MAX
(maximum) mark.

may be leakage of brake system or normal
wear of brake pad/lining. Please contact the
MG Authorised Service Center to ensure that
whether the system needs to be repaired. If
repairs are necessary, add fluid after repair of
hydraulic braking system. When the brake
fluid level is lower than the lower limit, the
braking system warning lamp “ ” will be on.
