Auto Hold - MG ZS Series Manual

STARTING & DRIVING

Auto Hold

When auto hold stops the vehicle, for reasons
such as shutting down the power system,
releasing the seat belt or pressing the auto
hold switch, the electronic parking brake is
applied. It cannot be guaranteed that the
vehicle will be stabilised in all cases. For
example, the rear wheels are on a slippery
road surface, or the vehicle incline is too
great (larger than 20%). Please make sure
that the vehicle is safely stabilised prior to
exiting.
DO NOT take any extra risks when driving
due to the fact the vehicle is fitted with
additional convenience functions. The driver
should pay full attention and observe the
surroundings even if the vehicle is equipped
with auto hold system.

The auto hold function cannot guarantee the
stability of the vehicle when starting off or
braking on hills especially on slippery or icy
surfaces.
DO NOT leave the vehicle when the power
system is operating and the auto hold is
active.
Auto hold cannot guarantee the electronic
parking brake operation in all cases where
the power system is shut down. Please ensure
the electronic parking brake is applied and
the vehicle is stabilised prior to exiting the
vehicle.
The auto hold function should be switched off
during the use of automatic car washes, the
electronic parking brake may suddenly apply
and cause vehicle damage.
If the vehicle is required to stop frequently for a length of
time (such as traffic lights, traffic queues or stop/start), and
the power system is running, the auto hold system assists
in stabilising the vehicle, enabling you to remove your foot
