DRIVING AND CONTROLS
If the brake is unable to brake temporarily due
to overheat.
Engage a lower gear when driving downhill and
use the engine to brake.
If the brake is unable to brake temporarily due
to wet components, the normal performance
can be recovered with the help of following
procedures:
1. Check whether there are vehicles behind
your vehicle.
2. Keep safe driving speed to ensure there is
sufficient space behind your vehicle and at
both sides of your vehicle.
3. Carefully depress the brake till the normal
performance is recovered.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
As one advanced electric braking system, the
anti-lock brake system (ABS) is helpful in
avoiding the vehicle from slipping and losing
control, and this system can also provide the
maximum braking capability on the slipped
pavement.
When the ignition switch is turned on, the ABS
warning lamp illuminates momentarily. The
ABS warning lamp does not go out or
illuminates when the vehicle is running, it
indicates that the ABS is faulted. Please
immediately contact the MG Authorised
Service Center. Refer to "ABS Warning
Lamp" under Chapter "Instrument and
Control Device".
The ABS will monitor the speed of each wheel
during braking. If one wheel tends to be
locked, the system will control brakes of two
f r o n t w h e e l s a n d t w o r e a r w h e e l s
respectively. When the ABS works, the brake
pedal often vibrates slightly with noise.
Warnings
If the ABS gets faulted, it may be unable
to function, wheels may be locked in case
of emergency brake, and the vehicle may
be unable to steer or may steer suddenly.
Warnings
The ABS will neither change the time
required for brake engagement, nor
shorten the braking distance. Sufficient
braking distance must be kept even the
ABS is equipped.
Electric Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
System
The EBD system uses the high-speed
computer to respectively induce and calculate
different ground to which four wheels are
attached, and thus calculate different friction
values at the moment the vehicle brakes.
Therefore, four wheels can be able to brake in
different ways and force based on different
conditions, and can be adjusted fast during
movement, so as to ensure that the vehicle is
stable and safe.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
System
The ESC system is a new-type active safety
system, representing the further development
of the functions of anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and traction control system (TCS). In
addition, the yaw rate sensor, lateral
acceleration sensor and steering wheel turn
