Alarm Systems; Engine Immobilisation - MG GS Handbook

Alarm Systems

Your car is fitted with an electronic antitheft alarm and
engine immobilisation system. To ensure maximum safety
and operation convenience, we strongly recommend you
to carefully read this chapter to fully understand the
activation and deactivation of antitheft systems.

Engine Immobilisation

Engine immobilisation is designed to safeguard the vehicle
from theft. Engine immobilisation can only be deactivated
to start the car by using the matched key.
Engine Immobilisation (Key Start)
When the matched key is inserted into the ignition
switch and the car is started, engine immobilisation is
deactivated automatically. When the key is removed from
the ignition switch, the vehicle will automatically enable
engine immobiliser. When the ignition switch is in position
ON, if engine immobiliser cannot identify the key inserted
into the ignition switch, the engine immobiliser warning
lamp on the instrument pack illuminates, and the message
centre display of some models will show "Invalid Key". If

Engine Immobilisation (Keyless Start)
Press START STOP button on the instrument panel, once a
valid key is detected in the vehicle, engine immobiliser will
be deactivated automatically.
If the message centre display shows "Smart Key Not
Detected" or "Put Key Into Backup Position", please put
the remote key at the bottom of the centre console cup
holder (refer to "Standby Starting Procedure" in "Engine
Start (Keyless Start)" section), or try to use the spare key.
