STARTING & DRIVING
Starting
Pay attention to the following when starting the engine:
• Do not continue to operate the starter after a few failed
attempts; consult an MG Authorised Repairer.
• Do not operate the starter if an engine misfire is
suspected and do not attempt to clear a misfire by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
• Do not attempt to push or tow start the car.
Regeneration
• On occasion the particulate filter may require
regeneration.
Your vehicle will automatically carry
out this procedure when certain conditions are met.
During this process you may experience slight power
loss and uneven engine running.
Driving
Please pay attention to the following conditions:
• Do not overload or excessively 'rev' of engine.
• Do not stop the engine when the car is in motion with
D or a gear selected.

• Consult an MG Authorised Repairer if you think your
car's oil consumption is abnormal.
• If a misfire is suspected, or the car lacks power while
driving, provided the engine has reached its normal
operating temperature, it may be driven SLOWLY (at
risk of catalyst and particulate filter damage) to an MG
Authorised Repairer.
• Do not drive on terrain likely to subject the underside
of the car to heavy impacts.
Note: Any engine misfire, loss of engine performance
or engine run-on, could seriously damage the catalytic
converter and particulate filter. Regular maintenance
must be carried out in accordance with the schedule
specified in the 'Service Schedule'.Any modifications
to engine without being authorised is prohibited.
Engine Oils
•
It is strongly recommended that only oils that meet
the manufacturers specification are used. Use of oils
that do not meet the manufacturers specifications can
damage the particulate filter, for example low SAPS oils
can affect particulate filter ash capacity.
