STARTING & DRIVING
Alarm Systems
Your car is fitted with an body anti-theft system and power
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 anti-theft systems.
Power Immobilisation
Power Immobilisation is designed to safeguard the vehicle
from theft. The power immobilisation system can only be
deactivated to start the car by using the matched key.
Press the START/STOP Switch, once a valid key is detected
in the vehicle, immobilisation system will be deactivated
automatically.
If the message centre displays "Smart Key Not Detected" or
"Put Key Into Back-up Position" or the power immobiliser
system warning lamp illuminates, please put the smart
key into back-up position (refer to "Alternative Starting
Procedure" in "Starting and Stopping the Power System"
section), or try to use the spare key. If the car can still not
be started, please contact an MG Authorised Repairer.
