Battery - MG MG3 Owner's Handbook Manual

• Manual transmission - neutral selected, clutch or
accelerator pedal pressed.
Note: In some individual case the MIL may illuminate
during automatic restart. This is caused by battery
voltage reduction, not a fault. if the M IL stays on,
seek advice from an MG Authorised Repairer.
Under certain conditions the vehicle may automatically
restart without direct driver input (as long as the stop start
operation criteria is met):
• Defrost of windscreen is selected.
• Manual heater blower speed selection is moved above
speed 3, ETC AC blower speed selection is moved
above speed 5.
• Battery voltage drops below a pre determined limit.
Vehicle moves/rolls - vehicle speed signal.
• Vehicle moves/rolls - vehicle speed signal.
• Brake vacuum drops below a pre determined limit.
• Stop/Start master switch is pressed.
Note: When under automatic stop start control,
vehicles fitted with manual transmissions will require
neutral to be selected to restart the engine.
STARTING & DRIVING
If any of the following conditions occur after automatic stop
start is initialised, the indicator lamp in the IPK extinguishes
and the vehicle will require restarting with the key.
• Driver's seat belt unfastened.
• Driver's door is opened.
• Bonnet is opened.
If the vehicle is stalled when under automatic stop start
control and none of the above are present, the vehicle can
be restarted by selecting neutral and pressing the clutch
pedal.
Note: If the battery voltage is low, automatic
restarting after stalling may be inhibited.

Battery

When charging the battery, starting the car
with an external power source or supplying
power from the vehicle, the negative cable
must be connected to a suitable position on
the vehicle body. Failure to do this will result
in inaccurate battery power calculation
which will effect automatic Stop/Start
control.
