When using the jack, the vehicle may
become unstable and move, causing
damage and personal injury. Please use
the correct jack in normal state.
Before lifting, have all passengers leave
the vehicle and stay away from traffic.
The jack is used for wheel replacement
only.
Do not jack up the vehicle on a sloped or
sliding ground.
Use the jack at the jack lifting point
closest to the wheel that needs to be
replaced.
Stop the wheel on the diagonal with
wedges, blocks or stones so as to avoid
vehicle moving.
Caution
Before using the jack, make sure that the
p a r k i n g b r a k e i s p u l l e d u p , t h e
transmission is at Gear 1 or reverse gear
and the DCT automatic transmission is
at P gear.
Avoid replacing wheels at traffic-
intensive locations
Caution
The vehicle with a low battery can be started
by using the battery of other vehicles by the
means of jump start.
If the battery is dead, please contact the MG
Authorised Service Center for handling unless
you confirm that you have enough electrical
knowledge and you can safely complete this
work.
Jump Start (Dead Battery)
Do not start the vehicle by the means of
pushing or dragging. Otherwise, it may
damage the catalytic converter and the
transmission and even personal injury.
Caution
Preparation before Jump Start
1. Pull up the parking brake.
2. Ensure that the gearshift lever is at the
neutral or P position.
3. Turn off all electrical accessories.
Turn off the audio system before jump
start of the vehicle. Otherwise, the audio
system will be damaged. Please turn off
unnecessary electrical devices when the
vehicle is running at low speed for long
time (in case of traffic jam).
Note
Jumper Cable Connection
In case of jump start of the vehicle, connect the
jumper cable in the following order:
1. Clip one end of the first jumper cable to the
positive terminal of the powered battery.
(There is a “+ mark on the battery
housing or the terminal)
2. Clip the other end of the jumper cable to
the positive terminal of the dead battery.
(There is a “+” mark on the terminal)
3. Clip one end of the second jumper cable to
the negative terminal of the powered
battery. (There is a “-” mark on the
battery housing or the terminal)
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the
body ground of the vehicle that has no
electricity.
5. While jump start, it is allowed to start the
engine of the vehicle providing jump start
power supply. Try to start the engine of the
vehicle that has no electricity within one
minute, and do not turn the ignition key
more than 5s each time. After start, keep
the rotation speed at 2000 (r/min) for
several minutes.
6. To remove the jumper cable carefully in
reverse order, remove the negative cable
first and then the positive cable.
VEHICLE SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

the vehicle.
When starting the engine with jumper
cables, violation of the above precautions
or the following instructions can cause the
battery to explode, resulting in people
being burned by battery acid or causing a
short circuit.

both vehicles and cause serious personal
injury.

bolt on the engine cylinder block steel
bracket. The last connection point
should be away from the battery as far as
