Electric Power Steering (Eps) System - MG COMET EV 2023 Owner's Manual

Electric Power Steering (EPS) System

The EPS system provides the steering assist
for the vehicle.
The power steering fluid is not required for
the system, which brings great convenience
for the daily vehicle maintenance.
When the ignition switch is connected,
the EPS fault warning lamp illuminates
momentarily. The EPS fault warning lamp
stays on or illuminates when the vehicle is
running, it indicates the EPS system is faulty.
In this case, you need immediately go to
Aftersales Service Center for maintenance.
When the EPS system is under extreme
conditions of high load work for a long time
(For example, the steering wheel is "turned
to the end" for a long time, or the vehicle
is moved into the garage at low speed
repeatedly to a wide angle), the thermal
protection function may be activated due
to excessively high temperature of electrical
elements.
The system will reduce the power assist after
it enters the thermal protection state, and at
the time you have to steer the wheel with
great force. If the normal power assist need
be recovered, you can steer the wheel at a
smaller angle or promote the vehicle speed.
You can restart the vehicle when necessary.
Low Speed Pedestrian
System*
BEV has less noise during driving, and thus the
lowspeed pedestrian warning system onboard
can play a good role in pedestrian alerting.
When the vehicle runs at a speed of 0 ~
30 km/h or backs up, the warning system is
working. The vehicle's pedestrian warning
device will make a buzzing sound similar to
that of the engine or a beeping sound similar
to that of the reversing sensor.
The warning sound volume of the low-
speed pedestrian warning device is
gradual. When the vehicle speed is close
to 0 or 30 km/h, the sound will be the
minimum, and when the vehicle speed is
15~20 km/h, the warning sound will reach
Warning
the maximum.
Battery electric vehicle has less noise
during driving, and thus the low-speed
pedestrian warning system on-board can
play a good role in pedestrian alerting.
Only when there are no pedestrians in
a short distance and the surrounding
environment obviously does not require a
warning tone can the system be disabled.
