We advise using genuine spare parts and following this manual for proper vehicle use, maintenance, and repairs. Substituting or altering the vehicle with non-genuine spare parts can compromise overall performance, particularly safety and durability. Any vehicle damage or performance issues resulting from non-genuine spare parts are not covered under warranty. Furthermore, vehicle modifications may infringe government regulations.
- Charging the HV Battery :
The HV battery in the car needs to be charged using household electricity or approved DC - DC chargers. Make sure all wires, sockets, and plugs can handle the power. Have a professional electrician set up the charging system. It must be grounded correctly and have a main switch and safety device. - High-voltage cable warning :
The orange cable in the car carries high voltage. Do not touch it. Pay close attention to warning signs on parts with high voltage.
- Entering ready mode :
When you open the door, the car switches to high-voltage mode. Step on the brake pedal to start driving. - Using high-voltage mode :
Once the car is in high-voltage mode (doors open and car powered on), it mainly uses the HV battery. It can run lights and air conditioning for a long time. The HV battery also charges the 12V battery - Winter driving tips :
In winter, the HV battery's performance decreases when it's cold but improves as it warms up. To take care of the battery, avoid fast starts and driving fast for a long time in cold weather. Use the heater smartly, plan your trip well, and charge the car on time. - Safety during charging :
It is forbidden to use false grounding equipment such as the grounding and resistance reduction module, which may cause potential safety hazards of electric shock during charging.
- Low Voltage Component:
The LV equipment operates at 12V and includes things like instruments, audio systems, lights, horns, and blowers.
- High voltage component:
HV equipment includes the drive motor, motor controller, HV battery pack, charging system, A/C compressor, and heater
- HV component safety:
Avoid touching exposed or damaged orange HV cables. - High-voltage system: Water contact:
The high-voltage system remains generally safe in the following scenarios:
- Water in the footwell after a rainstorm with the sunroof open.
- Vehicle partially submerged in water up to 300 mm.
- Leakage of liquids in the trunk.
In these situations, there is no risk of electric shock. However, there is a possibility of other damage to the vehicle.
- Avoid modifications:
Do not take disassemble or modify any electrical parts in the vehicle. Modifying them could lead to serious problems like short circuits, fires, or burns.Improper execution of the work poses a risk of fire and serious injury from electric shock caused by the high-voltage system.
JSW MG MOTOR advises that modifications and maintenance on the vehicle should only be conducted by JSW MG authorised service center. The high-voltage system in your vehicle is self- contained, ensuring safety as long as no unauthorized work is done on high-voltage electrical parts or the chassis.
- Accident response:
If there's an accident and you have time, turn off the vehicle's power, set the parking brake, turn on hazard lights, place a warning triangle, and leave the vehicle. Contact the JSW MG authorised service centre right away. If there's no time, like if there's a fire or strong burning smell, turn off the vehicle and activate the parking brake to get out.
- Fire or smoke situation:
Immediately turn off the power supply and get off the vehicle. If the fire is intensive or develops rapidly, stay away from the vehicle immediately and call 101. If the fire is not intensive, use a water- based fire extinguisher to put out the fire and keep a safe distance from the fire source.
- Battery replacement and recycling:
If you need to replace the HV battery, handle it carefully to avoid injury. According to Indian laws & regulations, recycle the HV battery at an MG-designated recycling station. Disposing of these batteries improperly can harm the environment and people. Check the official website for recycling details. - Battery maintenance:
When the instrument cluster's power bar turns red, it means the HV battery is low. Charge it promptly and avoid letting it completely run out before charging again. This helps keep the battery working well. It is recommended to fully charge the battery at least once every two weeks when using the vehicle regularly for maintenance.
Do not alter the charging port or equipment. Doing so could lead to charging problems or even cause a fire or may lead to fatal injuries.
Do not dismantle or open the lithium-ion HV battery pack without authorization. In case of accidents, professionals should not cut or impact the battery pack to avoid leaks, deformation, and potential injury.
Before storing the vehicle for an extended period (over one month), ensure the battery is charged to more than 50%. After prolonged parking, perform charging maintenance at least once a month. This involves fully charging the vehicle using AC slow charging, then discharging it to between 40% and 60% before parking again. Failure to maintain the battery as recommended could lead to vehicle issues caused by over-discharge, which may not be covered under warranty.
Be extra cautious of pedestrians. Since the vehicle is quiet and doesn't make noise from the engine, pedestrians might not realize it's approaching, moving, or getting ready to move, and could accidentally step into its path.

This section of the manual, along with others, contains crucial safety guidelines. Please pay special attention to the following precautions:
- Always use your seat belt:
It provides the best protection in any type of accident. Airbags are designed to complement seat belts, not to replace them. Therefore, even though your vehicle has airbags, ALWAYS ensure that you and your passengers wear your seat belts and wear them correctly. - Secure all children:
All children under the age of 13 should ride in the back seat of your vehicle, properly restrained. Infants and small children should be secured in an appropriate Child Restraint System. Older children should use a booster seat with a lap/shoulder belt until they can safely use the seat belt alone, without the booster seat. - Safety precautions:
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting in a safe and comfortable position plays an important role for the safety of the driver and passengers, as much as seat belts and air bags when in an accident.
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting in a safe and comfortable position plays an important role for the safety of the driver and passengers, as much as seat belts and air bags when in an accident.
Do not use a cushion that reduces friction between the seat and the passenger. The passenger's hips may slide under the lap portion of the seat belt during an accident or a sudden stop. Serious or fatal internal injuries could result because the seat belt cannot operate properly.
- Airbag risks:
Though airbags can be life-saving, they can also cause serious or fatal injuries to those who are too close or not properly restrained. Infants, young children, and shorter adults are especially at risk. Adhere to all instructions and warnings provided in this manual regarding airbags. - Avoid driver distraction:
Driver distraction is a significant and potentially fatal hazard, particularly for inexperienced drivers. Always prioritize safety and be aware of distractions like drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating, grooming, interacting with other passengers, and using mobile phones. To minimize distraction:- Set up mobile devices (e.g., phones, navigation units) only when your vehicle is parked or stopped.
- Use mobile devices only when permitted by laws and when it is safe. Never text or email while driving; many places have laws against texting and some also ban handheld phone use.
- Do not let mobile device use distract you from driving. It's your responsibility to ensure that both hands remain on the wheel and your attention stays on the road.
- Maintain appropriate speed:
Driving at excessive speeds is a leading cause of accidents and injuries. Higher speeds increase the risk of severe consequences, although serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds. Always drive at a safe speed for the current conditions, regardless of posted speed limits. - Ensure vehicle safety:
Tire blowouts or mechanical failures can be dangerous. To minimize these risks, regularly check your tire pressures and conditions, and follow all scheduled maintenance guidelines.
Emergency Situation
In circumstances where in the Vehicle has met with an unforeseeable accident, the safety feature of E-call shall trigger, wherein Emergency Assistance Services shall be provided to the driver of the Vehicle.
E-Call*
/CH-2/E-CALL.jpg)
Any accident which causes the deployment of airbags, shall automatically trigger the feature of E-Call, in the concerned Vehicle, An automated call will be triggered from to your MG Car from 24X7 MG Team for ascertaining the well being of the Driver, and to take further steps to mitigate the damage, which may vary case to case.
* Instant help on Best Effort basis 24x7 through i-call icon Available in Head unit.
In below conditions E-call may not be received to customer.
Please note the same is a safety feature and may or may not be triggered in situations wherein the damage/accident has affected the functioning of the Vehicle concerned.
To make sure, your E-Call works:
- If you do not hear Emergency Assistance within 2 minutes of the crash, the system may be damaged or non-functional.
- It is advised to primarily make a call via one's own mobile phone or using the i-call feature on the Infotainment Screen, as the E-call reaching the Driver is dependent upon the intensity of the accident.
- This feature only works in countries or regions where Emergency Assistance can call the local emergency services. Visit the JSW MG Website for details.
- For the feature to work the vehicle must have battery power, good network area along with other ancillary requirements to trigger the call.
- Always ensure your Primary number and alternate number is updated.
a. Front seat position:
When you sit on the seat, make your hip as close to the backrest as possible. Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedal to make your leg slightly bend when you press the pedal. The passenger’s seat shall slide as backward as possible.
Make your shoulders lean on the backrest as backward as possible. Set the backrest inclination angle to make your arm conveniently to reach the steering wheel while slightly bending the arm. Keep the shoulders leaning against the backrest while turning the steering wheel. The backrest shall not incline excessively backward. We suggest that the inclination angle of all backrests shall not be more than 25 degrees.
The seat height shall be so set that the occupant can see all directions and the positions of all display instruments. The head must be at least one hand away from the roof lining. The thighs are right on the seat without constriction.
When adjusting your seat, follow these precautions:
- NEVER adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. Unexpected movements could lead to losing control of the vehicle and causing an accident.
- Avoid placing anything under the front seats. Loose objects in the driver's foot area might interfere with the foot pedals and cause an accident.
- Ensure nothing interferes with the seatback's normal position and proper locking.
- Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. Operating the seat could cause gas to escape from the lighter and start a fire.
- Be careful when retrieving small objects trapped under the seats or between the seat and the center console. Sharp edges of the seat mechanism could cut or injure your hands.
- If there are rear seat passengers, adjust the front seat position carefully.
- After adjusting the seat, always ensure it is securely locked in place. If it's not locked properly, the seat could unexpectedly move and cause an accident.
The power seats can be moved even when the vehicle is turned off.
To avoid damaging the seats:
- Always stop adjusting the seats once they've been moved as far forward or backward as they can go.
- Avoid adjusting the seats for longer than needed when the vehicle is turned off to prevent unnecessary battery drain.
- Do not try to operate two or more seats simultaneously as this could cause an electrical problem.
- Don't try to adjust your seat while you're wearing your seat belt. Moving the seat cushion forward could put strong pressure on your stomach.
- Be careful not to let your hands or fingers get caught in the seat mechanisms while the seat is moving.
- Never leave children alone in the vehicle.
b. Seat position adjustment :
As shown in the figure, the electric adjustment switch is on the outer side of the seat. Push the switch forward or backward, and the seat will move forward or backward accordingly. Release the switch when it reaches a proper position.
If the seat does not move when the switch is turned, the seat may be already at its limit position, or the vehicle battery runs out. Please check for confirmation. Never turn the switch forcibly to avoid any damage.
You can adjust the front seat by using the levers located under the seat cushion.
Before you start driving, adjust the seat to the right position so that you can comfortably reach the steering wheel, foot pedals, and controls on the dashboard.
To adjust the seat forward or backward, pull upward the adjustment lever on the front lower part of the seat to adjust the seat forward or backward, and release the lever after the seat is adjusted to a proper position.
Try to slide the seat forward and backward to ensure that the seat is locked at a proper position.
c. Seat backrest adjustment
Electric adjustment type*
As shown in the figure, turn the adjustment switch forward and backward, and the backrest will be folded forward or unfolded backward depending on the vehicle configuration. Release the switch when it is adjusted to a proper position.
If the backrest does not move when the switch is turned, the backrest may be already at its limit position, or the vehicle battery runs out. Please check for confirmation. Never turn the switch forcibly to avoid any damage.
Pull up the handle near the seat cushion; adjust the backrest inclination angle to a proper position; then, release the handle.
After adjusting the seat backrest, try to shake the backrest to ensure that the backrest is locked.
The backrest plays an important protection role when the vehicle is running. Unlocked backrest may cause severe personal injuries in case of sudden braking or a collision. Any time after adjusting the seat backrest, shake the backrest to check whether it is locked even though no passenger occupies the seat.
Reclining the seatback:
Sitting in a reclined position while the vehicle is
moving can be dangerous. Even if you're wearing your seat belt, reclining the seatback reduces
the eectiveness of your seat belt and airbags.
Never recline the seatback while the vehicle is in motion. Riding with a reclined seatback increases the risk of serious or fatal injuries in a crash or sudden stop. Drivers and passengers should always sit upright in their seats, properly restrained, with the seatbacks upright.
Seat belts need to fit tightly across your hips and chest to work correctly. When the seatback is reclined, the shoulder belt cannot properly secure your chest-it may sit in front of you instead. In an accident, this could cause you to be thrown into the seat belt, potentially causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seatback is reclined, the higher the risk that the passenger's hips could slide under the lap belt or the passenger's neck could hit the shoulder belt.
d. Seat height adjustment:
As shown in the figure, rotate the height adjustment switch on the outer side of the seat cushion, and then release the switch after the seat is adjusted to proper height.
Manual adjustment*
Turn the handle on the outer side of the seat upward and downward until the seat is adjusted to the desired height. While adjusting the seat height, the seat must be loaded.
Therefore, please sit on the seat before adjustment; otherwise the adjustment device may be damaged.
Here are simpler instructions for handling the rear seatback:
- When you're putting the rear seatback back up from being folded, hold it and move it slowly. Make sure it locks into place by pushing down on the top of the seatback. If it's not locked during a sudden stop or accident, things in the back could move forward very fast and hurt people inside the car.
- When folding the seatback, gently press against it or the headrest to control how fast it folds. If you don't press, it might fold down suddenly and hurt someone when you pull the lever.
Do not allow your hands or fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms whilst adjusting the seats
To keep the vehicle safe:
Before you fold the seatback, put the seat belt buckle in the holder between the seatback and cushion. Also, guide the seat belt strap into its place to protect it from getting damaged.
a. Backrest adjustment and folding
To adjust the seat reclining:
- Lift and hold the seat adjustment lever up
- Slide the seat to where you want it.
- Let go of the lever and check that the seat is securely locked in position.
Do not put any article or luggage higher than the rear seat on the seat. No one is allowed to sit on a seat with backrest folded when the vehicle is running.
The area for passenger is separated from the area for luggage. In an emergency brake or other accident, the unfixed luggage or the passenger sitting on a seat with backrest folded may be thrown out from the vehicle. This may result in serious personal injury or even death.
Ensure that each seat is locked before driving.
Do not operate the seat release handle when the vehicle is running. Otherwise, the passenger may be injured.
b. Adjust the seatback angle
The seat backrest angle state is 25 degrees backward
in the vertical state
- Pull up the seatback recline lever.
- Hold the lever and move the seatback to your preferred position.
- Release the lever and ensure the seatback is securely locked in place. The lever should return to its original position for the seatback to be locked.
You can fold down the rear seats to make it easier to carry long items or to create more space for luggage in the vehicle.
Never let anyone sit on a folded seatback while the vehicle is moving. It's not safe because there are no seat belts there. In an accident or sudden stop, this could cause serious injury or death.
Items on a folded seatback should not stick up higher than the front seats. If they do, they might slide forward and hurt someone or cause damage if there's a sudden stop.
The front and rear seats of the vehicle have headrests that can be adjusted.
These headrests are not just for comfort; they are also meant to protect passengers from neck and spine injuries like whiplash during accidents, especially if the vehicle is hit from behind.
To stay safe in case of an accident, follow these steps when adjusting your headrests:
- Adjust the headrests correctly for all passengers before driving.
- Never allow anyone to sit in a seat without a headrest or with the headrest turned around.
Head rest height adjustment
To adjust the headrest upward, pull the headrest upward to a proper position and fix it. To remove the headrest, press and hold the release switch. To adjust the headrest downward, press and hold the release switch and push the headrest downward to a proper position, release the release switch for fixation. Do not press the headrest forcibly to avoid injuring the finger on the release switch.
In case of accidents, seat belts can provide good protection and that they must be used during driving is stipulated by regulations.
The seat belt is primarily designed for adult body sizes and is suitable for passengers with a height greater than 150 centimeters or a weight exceeding 36 kilograms. For children under 12 years old, please choose an appropriate child restraint system based on the child's size.
Please check all parts of the seat belt system for any wear or damage or abnormal function regularly. Please replace the damaged parts and components. It is strongly recommended to have the seat belt or deployed seat belt tensioner replaced at the JSW MG authorised service center after an accident.
a. Load limiter*:
It is equipped on the front seat belt. The force limiter can reduce the stress applied on the body through the seat belt damping release in case of a collision accident.
Improper operation (for example removal or installation of seat belt or seat belt anchor buckle) will trigger the seat belt tensioner, leading to injury risks.
All passengers shall always fasten their seat belts before driving, and must wear seat belts under any circumstances during driving. In the event of an accident, passengers who do not wear or do not wear seat belts correctly may suffer serious injuries or deaths.
- The seat belt shall not be buckled against a hard or fragile object in your pocket. Otherwise, the hard object will hurt you and the fragile object may be damaged in case of emergencies.
- Each seat belt can only be used by one person. Do not allow multiple occupants (including children) to share one seat belt.
- Do not allow a child to sit on the passenger's lap, which cannot be fully protected.
- If the seat backrest is tilting backwards too much when the seat belt is used, the protection effect will be reduced greatly when the accident occurs.
- Do not replace, disassemble, assemble or modify the seat belt without permit. It is not allowed to add any accessory or other object that may interference with the operation of the seat belt.
- Keep the seat belt retracted and unlocked when it is not used for a long time. Do not allow any seat belt or its buckle or tongue to be clamped by a door; otherwise, the seat belt may be damaged.
- The seat belt adapts to the human body through the emergency locking retractor. It will tighten automatically and naturally fit the body after locking. Please contact the JSW MG authorised service center for inspection if it is too tight.
- The seat belt must be kept clean. Rough dirt will hinder the function of the automatic retracting device of the seat belt. It can be wiped with a wet cloth without removal or replacement. Pay attention to prevent foreign matters from getting in the seat belt buckle (such as sunflower seed shell and button); otherwise the seat belt buckle will fail.
b. Wearing:
- Pull out the seat belt from the retractor and guide it around the body without twisting. The shoulder belt shall span the whole shoulder obliquely, but shall not touch the neck or slip from the shoulder. The lap belt shall span the hip as low as possible.
- Inserting the latch plate forward (reverse insertion of the latch plate will cause the seat belt to twist, and cut or even endanger life in case of collision). Insert it into the buckle of the seat pair until a "click" locking sound is heard, and then pull it to check whether the locking is reliable. Pull the shoulder belt forcibly to adjust the tightness degree of crotch strap. The occupants can move in a small range when the vehicle stably runs, and the seat belt can be pulled out or retracted with the slow movement of the occupants.
Loose or heavy clothing will hamper close wearing the seat belt. Do not place any object (such as handbag and mobile phone) between the seat belt and your body.
c. Unlock:
If you need to release the seat belt, press the red button on the buckle, and the tongue will automatically pop up and the seat belt automatically will retract. The seat belt is locked due to retracting or pulling out too fast, and it can be smoothly pulled out by loosening the webbing.
The crotch belt shall be placed as low as possible to go across the hip, so as to avoid force on the belly.
Use of seat belts during pregnancy
The seat belt provides protection for everybody, including a pregnant woman. Like all passengers, if pregnant women do not wear the seat belt, severe personal injuries are more likely to be caused to them.
The pregnant woman shall wear the hip/shoulder seat belt during the whole pregnancy, and the hip belt shall be fastened as low as possible.The best way to protect a fetus is to provide safety protection to its mother. If the seat belt is fastened correctly,the fetus is not vulnerable to injury in case of a collision. For a pregnant woman or any person, correct wearing is the key to exerting the best protection effect of the seat belt.
The vehicle is not equipped with a child seat. If you need one, a child seat that is applicable to ISOFIX "general" type can be selected. Child seat can only be placed on the 2nd row seat, because the front seat is not equipped with an anchor bracket. The statistical data of accidents show that placing the child seat on the second row seat can largely improve the child safety.
- A young child shall always use the child seat. Never hold a baby in your arms while riding in the vehicle. Never allow a child to stand or kneel on a seat or in the luggage compartment when the vehicle is running.
- An unfixed child seat may be thrown out of the vehicle in case of a collision or emergency stop, causing personal injuries to the driver and passengers. Be sure to properly secure the child seat even when it is not in use.
- If the child seat is put in a closed compartment in hot weather, its temperature will be very high. Make sure that the child seat temperature is not very high before putting a child in the seat. If the child is too small and the seat belt cannot provide the best protection for him/her, please make sure that a proper child seat is used to provide safety protection.
- The size and configuration range of the child seat is very wide. Not all child seats are applicable to your vehicle due to the interior trim as well as the seat shape and size. You have responsibility to ensure that the child seat installed matches with your vehicle and that the seat can be connected correctly to the vehicle with its anchor system. If the child seat does not match with your vehicle size and the child body figure or the connection to your vehicle is incorrect, severe personal injuries will be caused to the child and other passengers in the vehicle in case of a collision.

To fix the child seat:
- The lower anchorage of child seat fixing device is on the joint between the rear row left and right seat backrest and the seat cushion back. Its position can be identified through the label on the lower edge of the backrest.
- Clear up the objects on the seat. Note to remove the seat belt and seat belt buckle to avoid affecting accurate fixing of the child seat.
- Put the child seat on the second row seat.
- 1: Child seat clamp, 2: lower fixing point; connect the fixed hook on the child seat with the vehicle's fixed device. Operate according to the child seat instructions.
- Connect the upper strap of the child seat to the vehicle's corresponding fixing point. Consult the child seat instructions for guidance on when and how to tighten the upper strap. The upper anchorage of the child seat fixing device is situated behind the rear seat backrest.
- Verify the child seat is securely fastened by pushing and pulling it in all directions.
- Ensure the child seat is not excessively hot before placing a child in it.
In case of a serious collision accident, the child seat fixing device may be damaged. Some parts may require repair and replacement. Please check the child seat fixing device after a collision.
a. Airbag layout
- Driver frontal airbag.
- Front passenger frontal airbag.
- Front side airbag. (If equipped) Side
- Curtain airbags (If equipped)
For all airbags, the letter "AIRBAG" is marked on the trim panel or the label near the opening where they are deployed. For frontal air bags, the letter "AIRBAG" for the driver is located in the middle of the steering wheel, and that for the front passenger is located on the instrument panel. For lateral-impact air bags, the letter "AIRBAG" is located on the backrest side, near to the door. The letter "AIRBAG" for side curtain airbag is located on the roof lining or trim panel.
b. Safety precautions & warnings
The cars have air bags for the driver and front passenger seats. These air bags help the seat belts protect you.
Always wear your seat belt when driving. The front air bags are designed to supplement the threepoint seat belts. For these air bags to provide protection, the seat belts must be always worn when driving. You can be severely injured or killed in an accident if you are not wearing a seat belt. Air bags are designed to supplement seat belts, but do not replace them.
Airbags are not designed to deploy in every collision. In some accidents, the seat belts are the only restraint protecting you.
Always wear seat belts and use Child Restraint Systems on every trip. Even with air bags, you can get seriously hurt or killed in a crash if you're not properly belted or wearing your seat belt when the air bag inflates. An inflating air bag could hit the child and cause serious or fatal injuries. ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It's the safest place for kids of any age. If a child age 13 or older must sit in the front seat, make sure they're properly belted and move the seat as far back as it can go. All passengers should sit upright with their seat belt on, feet on the floor, until the vehicle is parked and turned off. If someone isn't in the right position during a crash, the air bag could hit them hard and cause serious injuries.
You and your passengers should avoid sitting too close to air bags or leaning against the door or centre console.
Move your seat back as far as possible from front air bags while still being able to control the vehicle.
a. Airbag position & marking:
As shown in the Figure A above, the driver frontal airbag is located in the middle of the steering wheel.
As shown in the Figure B above, the front passenger frontal airbag is located in the passenger's side instrument panel.
As shown in the Figure C, the front seat side airbag is installed on the backrest side near to the door.
As shown in the Figure D, the side curtain airbag is installed at the side wall and roof joint, on the roof lining.
1. Hitting the shoulder, edge of pavement or hard surface
2. Fall into or drive into a deep pit/ Wheel hard landing or vehicle fall.
b. Frontal Airbag non-deplyoment:
The frontal airbag is generally not inflated in
the event of a side collision, rear-end collision, rollover or low-speed frontal collision. No
matter what kind of collision, only when the vehicle generates sufficient forward deceleration, will
the frontal airbag be inflated.
1. Head-on collision angle over 30° from vehicle longitudinal direction
.
2. Overturn, falling from high place, rolling:
3. Hit deformable objects, such as sandpile, guard bar, column and tree
4. Hit into front vehicle bottom, especially truck bottom:

The side airbag / side curtain airbag system may not be inflated if the vehicle suffers a lateral collision at a certain angle or if the side of the non-occupant compartment is hit.
1. Vehicle body side (not passenger compartment) collision
2. Off-vertical side collision
The side airbags/curtain airbag do not normally inflate in the event of a frontal collision, rear-end collision, rollover or low-speed side impact.
3.Frontal collision
4. Rear-end collision
5. Overturn, falling from high place, rolling
6. Side collision to truck during drifting
Backward child restraint device must not be used on seats protected by a frontal airbag (in the activated state) !
On the instrument panel, there is an airbag indicator which displays the airbag shape symbol. The system will check whether the airbag circuit system has a fault and give corresponding prompt through the indicator. The indicator will light up in case of airbag system fault. It must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
In case of indication continuously ON. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition. Get the vehicle checked. Contact JSW MG authorised service center.
When shall the airbag be inflated?
The frontal airbag is designed to be inflated in
moderate to severe head- on collision or almost head-on collision to reduce severe injury risks
ofthe driver's and the front passenger's head and chest.
Frontal airbag inflation is not primarily dependent on the speed of the vehicle, but on the object being collided with, the direction of the collision and the deceleration of the vehicle per unit time during the collision. The frontal airbag may be inflated at different collision speed. It depends on whether the vehicle hits the object straight or at an angle at the moment of the collision, and on whether the collided object is fixed or moving, non- deformable or deformable, narrow or wide. Due to different designs of each model, the collision inflation conditions of the frontal airbag may vary. Frontal airbags do not inflate in the event of a vehicle rollover, a rear collision and many side collisions. The frontal airbag may not inflate in slight head- on or nearly head-on collisions, lateral or diagonal collisions, collisions to cylindrical objects (such as telegraph pole and tree trunk), rear-end collisions under large vehicle (trucks, etc.) breast board and lateral glancing collisions.
As per the design, the seat lateral- impact airbag and the side curtain airbag will inflate according to the impact position in case of the moderate to severe lateral collisions.
The seat lateral-impact airbag and the side curtain airbag may not inflate in slight side collisions and lateral-frontal or diagonal collisions. As per the design, the seat lateral- impact airbag and the side curtain airbag will inflate on the collision side of the vehicle. Airbags are not triggered in every collision. For a particular accident, it shall not simply judge whether the airbag should be inflated according to the causalities, vehicle damage or repair and maintenance expenses. Your vehicle is equipped with a collision sensing and diagnosis module. If a collision accident reaches certain strength, the module may record relevant collision information after the collision. If you have any questions about the airbag working condition of your vehicle in a collision accident, please contact the JSW MG authorised service center in time for professional analysis and diagnosis.
How is the airbag inflated?
During inflation, the sensing system sends an electronic
signal that triggers the gas generator to release gas to fill the airbag, causing the airbag to
inflate and eject from the cover. The gas generator, airbag and relevant members are all components
of the airbag module. Please refer to "Airbag Position" for details.
How does the airbag provide protection?
The airbags supplement the protection
provided by the seat belts by distributing the impact forces more evenly over the occupant's body.
However, in collisions where the occupant's body is not moving in the direction of the airbag, and
in collisions where an external object has entered the vehicle, the airbag is unable to provide the
appropriate protection. The airbag shall only be seen as a supplementary device to the seat belt.
When the airbag is inflated, dust may be spread in the air. All persons in the vehicle shall get off the vehicle as soon as possible. If you have a breathing problem and cannot get off the vehicle after airbag inflation, open the windows or doors to get fresh air. If breathing problems occur after the airbag is inflated, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
What will you see after the airbag inflates?
When the airbag is inflated, it will
deflate so quickly that some people may not even notice that the airbag has been inflated because it
deflates so fast. Smoke and dust may also be emitted from the deflated airbag vent. If the vehicle
power supply system can still work normally after a collision, the vehicle has the functions of
automatically unlocking doors, turning on hazard warning lamps and turning off fuel system after
airbag inflation. The driver can use corresponding function switch to lock doors, turn off indoors
lamps and turn off the hazard warning lamp. The deployment of the front passenger air bag may also
cause damage
- An airbag is designed to inflate only once. After the airbag is inflated, some parts of the airbag system need to be replaced. Otherwise, the airbag system will be unable to provide protection in the next collision accident. The airbag system parts that shall be replaced include the airbag module, airbag control module, seat belt pretensioner and other parts.
- Work related to the SRS can only be done by JSW MG authorised Service Center technicians with corresponding qualification. Improper repair and maintenance may cause that the airbag system cannot function normally. Please drive to the JSW MG authorised Service Center for repair and maintenance.
- Repair, maintenance and replacement of airbag system:
- The airbag system must be maintained by JSW MG authorised Service Center technicians. Improper maintenance will cause the airbag system to fail to function normally. Please go to the JSW MG authorised Service Center for repair and maintenance of the airbag system.
if the airbag cover is damaged, opened or broken, the airbag may not function normally. It shall be repaired as soon as possible.
Never stick or cover any object on the airbag cover surface or refit the airbag cover; never try to repair, adjust or remove or install any airbag system component; never try to refit the front bumper of the vehicle body by yourself.
Other situations where the airbag may be inflated (deployed) except for a collision The airbags may also inflate if the underside of the vehicle suffers a severe impact.
EBD watches and manages how hard the brakes press on the back wheels to make driving safer when you brake. It adjusts the brake pressure so that the front and back wheels work together to stop the car quickly and keep it steady. This is done by reducing the pressure on the rear wheels when needed.
the EBD system uses the high-speed computer to respectively induce and calculate different ground to which four tires are attached, and thus calculate different friction values at the moment the vehicle brakes. Therefore, four tires 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.
Brake system/EBD warning lamp:
The brake system warning lamp illuminates after the ignition switch is turned on and it goes out several seconds later (if the park brake has been released). This indicates that the warning lamp can work normally. The brake system/EBD warning lamp also illuminates when the parking brake engages and when brake fluid is less.
The indicator goes out after the park brake is released. Please do fully release the park brake before starting the vehicle.
In case of indication continuously ON. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition. Get the vehicle checked. Contact JSW MG authorised service center.
If the brake system warning lamp illuminates after the park brake is fully released, it indicates possibility that the brake fluid level in the fluid reservoir is too low or an EBD system fault has occurred.
In this case, please operate in the following steps:
- Carefully drive the vehicle off the lane and then stop the vehicle.
- Check the brake fluid level.
- Add the recommended brake fluid until the fluid level reaches MAX (highest) mark.
- In case of the following circumstances, it is recommended to drive the vehicle at a safe speed to the nearest JSW MG authorised Service Center to inspect the brake and confirm that:
- You discovered the brake system leakage.
- The brake system warning lamp keeps illuminated.
- The brake cannot work normally.
Please do not drive the vehicle when the brake system warning lamp has illuminated.
This indicates that the brake may not work normally.
Driving the vehicle with a brake fault can lead to a collision, causing personal injuries and damage to the vehicle or other properties as a result.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is an advanced safety feature that builds on the functions of ABS and TCS. It includes sensors like the yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor. These sensors help monitor and control the driving and braking forces of all wheels- front, rear, left, and right-through a computer (ECU). This ensures the vehicle stays stable during turns and manoeuvres. If the driver pushes the limits, especially during high-speed turns, the ESC system steps in automatically to regain control and keep the vehicle safe.
Indicators relevant to the ESC system consist of ABS MIL, EBD MIL, ESC MIL and ESC OFF indicator.
- Indicators illuminate for self inspect when the instrument is turned on. The 4 indicators are normally on for 3s, indicating that the ESC system is conducting self-inspect and indicators work normally. The 4 indicators go out 3s later under the normal condition.
When faults (such as neglected installation, loosened connector, or abnormal CAN communication) occur on the ESC system, only the ESC OFF lamp will turn off 3 seconds later, while the other three lamps remain on.
- In the process of driving, if the ESC function is activated, the ESC lamp will flicker, telling the user that the ESC system is working. If the ESC system functions are abnormal but the ABS+EBD system functions are normal, the ESC lamp is normally on, indicating that the ESC system gets faulted. If the ESC system and the ABS function are abnormal and the EBD system functions are normal, the ESC lamp and the ABS lamp are normally on.
- The ESC OFF lamp is used to indicate that the ESC function is disabled (the lamp will be normally on so long as the ESC function is disabled; the lamp will go out if the function is enabled). If the user disables the ESC, some ESC functions will be disabled, and the ESC OFF lamp will illuminate. If ESC is working when it is to be disabled, the ESC
If the user disables the ESC, some ESC functions will be disabled, and the ESC OFF lamp will illuminate. If ESC is working when it is to be disabled, the ESC function will not be disabled immediately and will be disabled after the work is over. If the user enables the ESC again, all functions will be restored.
- Each time the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be activated automatically.
After you start the vehicle, the light on the indicator will turn on for a short time and then turn off. This shows that the indicator is working correctly. While you are driving, if the ESC turns on, its light will blink to let you know the system is active. But if the ESC light stays on without blinking, it means there is a problem with the system.
In case of indication continuously ON. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition. Get the vehicle checked. Contact JSW MG authorised service center.
Electronic stability control (ESC) On/Off
Normally, it is not recommended to disable the ESC system.
Normally, it's not recommended to turn off ESC. It should only be turned off temporarily if your vehicle is stuck in mud or driving on very slippery surfaces like snow.
When you start the vehicle, a light will briefly turn on and then go off, showing that everything is working correctly. The electronic stability control (ESC) is always on when you start the car. If you need to turn it off, you can do this in the vehicle settings under “Menu - Vehicle settings - Driving - Electronic Stability Control” on the dashboard. When ESC is off, the "ESC OFF" light on the dashboard will be on. To turn ESC back on, you can do it from the same screen where you turned it off, and the light will turn off. It's usually best not to turn off the ESC system. Only turn it off temporarily if your vehicle is stuck or climbing out of a difficult situation.
In case of indication continuously ON. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition. Get the vehicle checked. Contact JSW MG authorised service center.
EPB is used to engage & disengage parking brake electronically using the EPB switch.

This indicator keeps illuminated as long as the electronic parking brake engages firmly.
In case of indication continuously ON. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition. Get the vehicle checked. Contact JSW MG authorised service center.
After activating the function, the driver presses the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, or presses it while the vehicle is stationary with the engine idling. When the brake pedal is released, hydraulic pressure in the brake system is maintained to keep the vehicle parked where it is. There's no need to manually engage the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) for parking in this situation.
a. AVH switch (Auto Hold)
The automatic parking function is set to the default open
state and can be turned on/off in the car “Menu - Vehicle settings - Driving - Auto Hold".
AVH conditions AVH shall be activated firstly:
- The vehicle is stationary and in the READY state.
- The brake pedal is depressed to a degree (brake hydraulic pressure > 9 bar).
- Ensure that the driver's seat belt is buckled and the driver's side door is closed.
After the vehicle is parked automatically, if you need to start the vehicle, gently depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle reaches the starting condition, the parking brake will be released automatically.
b. Automatic vehicle hold (AVH) warning indicator:
After the vehicle is powered on, the AVH warning indicator illuminates for a few seconds and then goes out. This indicates normal functioning of indicator lamp.
This indicator illuminates when the automatic vehicle hold function works and the vehicle is being parked. It goes out as the vehicle gets out of the parking state.
In case of indication continuously ON. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition. Get the vehicle checked. Contact JSW MG authorised service center.
c. Automatic vehicle hold (AVH) fault working indicator*
After the vehicle is powered on, if the AVH fault warning lamp illuminates for several seconds and then goes out, it indicates that the warning lamp and AVH function module work normally.
In case of an automatic vehicle hold function module fault or a warning lamp fault, it will be indicated in any of the following ways:
- When the power supply is on, the lamp remains off.
- After lighting up, it does not go out.
keep illuminated during driving Once the automatic vehicle hold (AVH) fault warning lamp shows the above abnormalities, please contact the JSW MG authorised service center in time.
In case of an emergency requiring rapid deceleration when the braking effect is insufficient, you can pull up the electronic parking brake switch upward for additional braking assistance.
To activate the emergency brake function, release the electronic handbrake switch to cancel the emergency brake function.
Do not use the emergency brake function in non-emergency situations. This function is for emergency only and will wear the brake disc and brake caliper.
Shifting to P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion may cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
After the vehicle has stopped, always make sure the vehicle is in P (Park), apply the parking brake, and turn the vehicle off.
When parking on an incline, shift the gear to P (Park) and apply the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling downhill.
Comfort Parking
When this function is activated, the brake booster system
intervenes to help the user complete the braking process more smoothly. This smooth braking can be
experienced at vehicle speed less than or equal to 18km/h.
This feature can be turned on/off through "Vehicle settings- DrivingComfort Parking" option available in the display head unit.
The EPS system provides steering assistance for the vehicle. This system does not need power steering fluid, which brings great convenience for the daily vehicle maintenance.
When the power supply is turned on, the EPS MIL illuminates momentarily. The EPS warning lamp does not go out or illuminates when the vehicle is running, indicating that there is a fault in the EPS system. In case of such condition, there is a need to go to JSW MG authorised Service Center for check in time. 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 a low speed repeatedly to a wide angle), the time you have to steer the wheel with great force. If you need to restore normal power assistance, you can steer the wheel at a smaller angle or increase the speed. You can restart the vehicle if necessary.
The EPS system will adjust the power assistance according to the vehicle speed. As a result, the steering wheel can beturned easily at low speed and be turned relatively steadily at high speed.
Illuminated EPS warning lamp can indicate that the electronic power steering column cannot work normally. If you fail to keep the steering column in an agreeable working condition, collision may happen and as a result, personal injuries, and damage to the vehicle or other properties can occur.
a. EPS fault warning lamp
When the vehicle is powered on, the warning lamp will illuminate instantaneously. It indicates that the system is conducting self inspection and the warning lamp bulb can work normally. The warning lamp goes out several seconds later. When the electronic power steering (EPS) system detects a fault, the warning lamp will give out an indication. When the steering system has a fault, the vehicle can still steer, but requires much greater eort. In case of the following circumstances, please consult the nearest JSW MG authorised service center.
- This lamp does not illuminate when the vehicle is powered on.
- After lighting up, it does not go out. keep illuminated during driving.
In case of indication continuously ON. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition. Get the vehicle checked. Contact JSW MG authorised service center.
Steering wheel adjustment
1. Tilt adjustment:
Adjust the steering wheel angle so it points toward your
chest, not your face.
2. Telescopic adjustment:
Slide the steering wheel in or out to a comfortable
distance.
Steps:
- Pull out the adjustment lever.
- Adjust the steering wheel to your desired angle and distance as per your preferred position.
- Push the lever back in to lock the steering wheel.
- Ensure the steering wheel is securely locked in position before driving.
The driver must maintain full control of the steering wheel while driving. Do not adjust the steering wheel while the vehicle is moving, as it can cause loss of control.
After unlocking the vehicle, open the driver's side door. The instrument cluster will activate, and the vehicle will enter the HV state. In HV state, all hybrid circuits are active, allowing you to engage the gear for driving and the A/C system can provide cooling while in HV state.
Trial run of new vehicle
During the first 500 kilometers of driving a new vehicle,
follow these steps to enhance performance, improve drive range efficiency, and prolong the vehicle's
lifespan:
- Avoid making sudden stops unless it's an emergency. This helps the brakes settle in better.
- Try not to accelerate rapidly or drive at high speeds to prevent motor damage and conserve power.
- Do not tow another vehicle with your vehicle during this period.
a. Before you start your EV:
- Make sure that the area around the vehicle is clear.
- Do a check of the fluid levels - coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid as frequently as possible.
- Make sure that all windows and lights are clean.
- Examine the tires for their appearance, inflation pressure and condition.
- Make sure that all doors are closed.
- Position the seat and adjust the headrests.
- Adjust the inside and outside mirrors.
- Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to do likewise.
- Do a check of the operation of the warning lights when the power switch is pushed to the ON position.
b. Procedure to start EV:
- With the smart key sit in the driver’s seat (if equipped), vehicle will automatically switch to HV mode.
- Fasten the seat belt before you start the vehicle.
- Turn off all electrical devices.
- Make sure to engage the parking brake for your safety.
- Make sure the accelerator and brake pedal have clearance with your right foot.
- Press the brake pedal to enter the READY mode, enabling the vehicle to operate in gear. The "READY" state is similar to the starting state of an internal combustion engine vehicle.
- The vehicle will get ON in ‘P’ mode only and it will be automatically selected.
- When ‘Ready’ message appears, you can drive the vehicle. Else, you cannot drive the vehicle. Start the vehicle again.
- Shift to the desired position (D/R).
- Release the parking brake and slowly release the brake pedal. See if the vehicle slowly moves forward, then press the accelerator pedal
- If the EPB is disengaged manually after selecting required mode (D/R), release the brake pedal slowly to move the vehicle forward with creep activated condition. Further Accelerator pedal input to be given for achieving required speed.
c. Procedure to stop EV
- Hold down the brake pedal while the vehicle is parked.
- While pressing the brake pedal, shift to P mode using the gear knob to engage the parking brake.
The vehicle must always be put in ‘N’ when you stop the vehicle before engaging the park brake.
When the 'Ready' indicator is illuminated and the gear shifter is not in the Neutral (N) position, the driver may inadvertently press the accelerator pedal, resulting in unexpected vehicle movement.
d. Range of your EV
Your EV can provide specified range, when the high voltage
battery is 100 percent charged. However, the range may vary in different driving modes and in
certain situations like driving at high speed or when the air conditioner/heater/infotainment system
is ON as the HV battery consumes more energy.
The range is estimated for the reference of the driver and passengers only. The actual endurance mileage is related to various factors such as current road conditions (such as a long steep slope), driving habits (such as frequent acceleration and deceleration), temperature (such as low temperature), and whether electrical equipment (such as A/C) is on.
Tips to get maximum range while driving EV
- If safe to do so, modulate the accelerator pedal instead of using the brake pedal when gradually slowing down. Whenever the vehicle is moving and you are not pressing the accelerator pedal, regenerative braking slows down the vehicle and feeds surplus energy back to the HV battery.
- Limit the use of resources such as heating, and air conditioning. If you operate the air conditioner/heater for long duration, it will use too much electricity from HV battery.Turn OFF the heater and air conditioner if you do not need them.
- Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside temperature is below 0°C uses more electricity and affects vehicle range more than when using the heater when the temperature is above 0°C.
- Press and hold the accelerator pedal to maintain speed and drive economically.
- Gradually press and release the accelerator pedal when accelerating or decelerating.
- Do not use unnecessary electrical components while driving.
- Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle trunk. Any additional load in the car drains the battery. Do not add more accessories, do not keep dead weight in the car, and in general travel as light as possible.
- Do not mount parts on the exterior of the car as it might increase drag.
- Service schedule should be adhered to. Fluid levels should be maintained within tolerance limits. Both of these also helps in realizing the maximum range potential of an electric vehicle
- To optimize driving range use drive/eco mode and maintain the recommended tyre pressure.
- Drive in ECO mode
- ECO mode helps reduce power consumption by reducing acceleration when compared to the same accelerator pedal position in the D (Drive) position.
- Drive at a constant speed. Maintain cruising speeds with constant accelerator positions as much as possible.
- Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Gently press and release the accelerator pedal for acceleration and deceleration.
- Vehicle range may be substantially reduced in extremely cold conditions (for example, 0°C).
- Release the accelerator pedal to slow down and do not apply the brakes when traffic and road conditions allow.
This chapter introduces relevant contents of charging.
3.2.2 Identifying the need of charging
- If conditions permit, it is recommended that you charge the vehicle when parking it. Shallow charge and discharge is conducive to prolonging the battery life. Do not wait until the battery runs out before recharging, which may not be conducive to your next trip and the battery life.
- If the SOC low warning light goes on during driving, it indicates that the HV battery pack is low and needs to be charged as soon as possible.
- When the SOC indicator indicates low remaining power, or the driving range cannot meet the travel demand, charging is required.
3.2.3 Requirements for charging power supply
The charging system for the vehicle has a rated power of 6.6KW. The charging power is
dependent on the specifications of the charging gun/ charging pile and can be used with a standard
household 220V AC power supply.
If there is a difference between the external power supply power and the charging machine's rated power, the charging power is consistent with the smaller one.
1. Charging Prepration
| State of charge (SOC) | Configuration | Time required | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 38 kWh | 52.9 kWh | ||
| 10%-100% charging time | Original 3.3kW charging unit (16A AC socket / contact JSW MG Authorised service center to install the original charging unit) | ~13.5 hrs | NA |
| 10%-100% charging time | Original 7.4kW charging unit (dedicated wall mounted unit / contact JSW MG Authorised service center to install the original charging unit) | ~7 hrs | ~9.5 hrs |

3.2.4 Charging preparation
- Power off the vehicle.
- Do not ride in the vehicle when charging. Ensure the ventilation of charging places, and do not charge in confined and narrow spaces.
- Before charging, please check whether the skin and casing of the charging cable are broken. If so, please contact the JSW MG authorised service center for repair or replacement. Make sure that the charging cable is in a state of natural extension, and do not hang in the air.
- During charging, appropriate protective measures should be taken to avoid children and other irrelevant personnel approaching the charging vehicle and charging cable.
- During charging, it should be noted that there should be no residual rainwater in the charging socket and its vicinity.
- Do not charge the vehicle in an environment where there is rain, snow or accumulated water, or fire source thunder weather. In case of rain, snow, rising water and strong wind during charging, stop charging and take away the charging cable. Otherwise, there is risk of electric leakage.
- If the vicinity of the charging port gets wet during charging, please pull out the charging plug from the power supply socket and then unplug the charging gun from the charging port while ensuring safety. If necessary, please use insulating gloves and contact the JSW MG authorised service center for testing and confirmation as soon as possible.
- When touching the charging plug, please keep your hands dry, and use insulating gloves if necessary.
Be sure to ask a professional electrician to install the charging line for you; otherwise it may cause fire or electric shock.
- The ambient temperature of charging is recommended to be between 0°C and 350°C, and avoid charging at low or high temperature (it is recommended to charge the vehicle at noon in winter, and in the morning or evening in summer). Avoid charging in an environment of high temperature such as direct sunlight. If the vehicle is equipped with a HV battery heating system, when the internal temperature of the HV charging, the HV battery system will automatically heat up first, and then the HV battery pack is charged after heating.
- The charging plug is a high- voltage electrical device, which is strictly prohibited for children. It is strictly prohibited for children to operate during charging. If there are many children or people walking frequently in the charging area, safety signs should be set up.
- Lock the doors before leaving the vehicle
Before charging, check the charging cable and charging port to make sure that the cable is not damaged and that no water or foreign matter enters the charging gun and port.
- To extend the service life of the HV battery pack and ensure the driving safety, do not drive when the SOC is too low (< 10%).
- Do not use the HV battery pack onboard for other purposes.
- Improper handling of the HV battery may cause serious accidents, such as HV battery damage or personal injury. In order to avoid accidents, attention should be paid to the following matters:
- Do not expose the vehicle to the environment above 45°C for more than 24 hours, and place the vehicle in a cool environment in time.
- To increase the service life and safety of battery packs, it is recommended:
b. Do not place the vehicle in an environment of -250°C for more than 7 days, and place the vehicle in a warm environment in time. If the vehicle is in a low- temperature environment (below -250°C) for a long time, the HV battery pack may freeze inside, resulting in failure to charge and to provide driving power to the vehicle, which is very dangerous.
a. The vehicle without HV battery heating system cannot be charged when the internal temperature of the HV battery is below 0°C. Therefore, at a low ambient temperature, please charge the vehicle as soon as possible within one hour after parking. If the vehicle cannot be charged due to the low temperature of the HV battery, move the vehicle to a warm place or drive for a period of time before charging.
b. When the vehicle will be stored for a long time (more than 1 month), charge the battery to about 60%, and disconnect the negative terminal of 12V battery in the compartment
c. Please try to avoid sharp acceleration or deceleration during driving.
If the vehicle will be stored for a long time, charge the battery to about 60%, and disconnect the negative terminal of 12V battery. Long-term storage at very low SOC is not conducive to the service life of the HV battery.
The batteries are special chemical products that need proper use and maintenance. Routine full charge and full discharge are critical to the maintenance of their performance. In addition, the battery capacity is subject to natural attenuation due to the chemical properties. When you find a decrease in SOC range, it is recommended to check it at the JSW MG authorised service center. If the battery consistency is turned out to be within the normal range, this decrease is due to the normal attenuation of the battery capacity.
Preparations:
Cut off the power supply, press the EPB button, take out the charging cable from the car and check
whether the cable is intact.(The external view of the charging gun is for illustration only.
The final appearance shall be subject to the physical object).
AC charging
- As shown in the figure, press the right side of the charging port cap, and it will open automatically.
- Pull the locking hook to open the charging socket cap, as shown in the figure.
- Insert the plug into power socket
- Insert the charging gun into the charging port until you hear a "click".
Switch ON the power supply and display "Charging", current battery percentage, charging connection icon and charging status icon appears on screen.
On completion of charging pull out the charging gun and close the flip cover of charging base.
As shown in the figure, push the flip cover of the charger receptacle to the right and press it until a "click" sound is heard. If the flip cover no longer rebounds after releasing, close the flip cover of the charger receptacle.
- Change of vehicle state (Ignition OFF to Ignition ON or vice-versa) should be avoided while charging.
- Post switch off the charger, provide min 5 seconds for touching and pulling out the gun.
- If the charging gun removed and reinsertion required it could be done after at least 10 seconds of removal of the charging gun from socket.
- Do not disengage/play around with the Park brake/hand brake while vehicle in fast charging condition.
DC charging:
During DC charging, please follow the operation instructions of the
charging equipment or charge under the guidance of the staff at the charging station (the charging
equipment shall be subject to the physical object). Please follow similar instructions for charging
as stated for AC charging.
When you charge your car in winter, due to the temperature, the lower the battery temperature is, the longer the charging time will be. Therefore, you should schedule charging reasonably so as not to delay your trip.
If normal charging fails during the use of public charging facilities, please check whether the public charging facilities used function normally first.
Charging in high-temperature conditions will cause the battery temperature to rise rapidly. The charging machine will limit the charging power according to the battery temperature to avoid overheating, resulting in an extension of the charging time. This is a normal phenomenon.
Public ChargingIf vehicle charging fails during use of public chargers check for following :
- Charger Display: Look at the charger's display screen for any error messages or status indicators. A blank or unresponsive screen may indicate a malfunction.
- Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection, as many public chargers require an app to start the charging session.
- Check that the cable is securely attached to the charger and your vehicle.
- If the charger is still not working, try moving to a di erent charging station nearby. Use the app to locate another charger that is compatible with your EV.

- LO: Wipes continuously at low speed.
- HI: Wipes continuously at high speed.
- MIST: Push the lever up once to wipe the windshield once.
When the lever is pushed down one gear from the OFF position to the AUTO operating position, the inductive automatic wiper will function. Depending on the rainfall, the front wiper will automatically turns on or off and the wiping speed can be automatically adjusted when it is turned on.
Wiper sensitivity adjustment:
1. Access settings: Go to the car's infotainment system.
2. Navigate: Select Vehicle > Doors/ Windows > Wipers > Wiper Sensitivity.
3. Adjust sensitivity: Choose from 7 levels (1 to 7) to set the sensitivity for automatic wiper operation.
The starting position adjustment only adjusts the threshold for automatic wiper activation. The higher the position, the easier it is to initiate wiping, resulting in a more sensitive detection for light rain.
This adjustment only affects when the automatic wipers turn on, not their speed. The wiper speed adjusts automatically based on rainfall without manual input.
Even if the wiper switch is set to "AUTO," the driver should still manually control the wipers to maintain a clear view.
To spray cleaning fluid on the front windshield:
- Ensure the vehicle is in the HV/READY state.
- Press the button to spray water onto the front windshield.

Here are some tips for safe driving in different conditions:
a. Driving through water
- Check that wiper blades, lights, and brakes are working well.
- Inspect tire treads and their condition.
- Avoid sudden braking and sharp turns to prevent skidding.
- When slowing down, shift to a lower gear and brake gently.
- Keep headlights on in poor visibility.
b. Driving on a rainy day
- Check wipers, lights, and brakes for proper function.
- Assess tire tread depth and condition.
- Avoid abrupt braking and sharp turns to prevent skidding.
- When slowing down, shift to a lower gear and brake gently.
- Keep headlights on in low visibility.
c. Driving on wet roads
- Wet roads can lead to "aquaplaning," where tires lose contact due to water buildup. This makes steering and braking difficult.
- Slow down on wet roads to reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
If you've been driving in heavy rain for an extended period without braking, there might be a delay in the brakes' response when you first apply them. You may need to press the brake pedal more firmly. Ensure you maintain a larger distance from the vehicle ahead.
d. Driving on snowy roads:
Use snow chains when driving on snowy roads. Follow the
assembly and safety instructions provided by the snow chain manufacturer.
Pedals
To ensure that the pedal travel is unhampered, the floor mat in the pedal
area shall not be excessively thick, and no article shall be placed in the pedal area.
e. Driving in night
- Ensure all lights are working and windows are clean.
- Drive more cautiously at night due to reduced visibility.
- Maintain a speed where you can stop within the distance illuminated by your headlights.
- Avoid using high beams unless necessary to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers.
- Use indicators and headlights properly for turning and lane changes.
f. Driving on gradients:
When going downhill, ease off the accelerator to reduce
speed. Avoid shifting to neutral or turning off the vehicle. EVs (Electric Vehicle) typically achieve
their best range between speeds of 40 to 60 km/h, making them ideal for city driving. Staying within
this speed range, along with following other driving tips, can significantly increase your mileage. On
highways, it's recommended to maintain a speed between 60 to 80 km/h to optimize range. Higher speeds
can lead to a noticeable decrease in range.
Do not slide the vehicle with the power turned off:
In such case, many systems (e.g.
brake booster) cannot work. Driving in this way will pose a danger to yourself and others.
When driving on long, steep gradients, it is important to lessen the strain on the brakes by releasing the accelerator pedal. This action utilizes regenerative braking to its advantage and prevents the service brakes from overheating, which could otherwise reduce their effectiveness.
g. Driving on Highways:
Avoid rapid changes in accelerator pedal inputs. Drive as
smoothly as possible. EVs respond instantly to pedal inputs due to their immediate torque and power.
The stopping distance increases progressively with vehicle speed, so maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle.
For long-distance driving:
Perform safety checks before starting your trip and take
breaks at regular intervals to prevent fatigue.
h. Driving in hot and cold weather:
The vehicle's heating and cooling systems use
energy from the battery. Set the temperature to a comfortable range of 24°C to 26°C with Auto mode and
Econ activated to maximize both comfort and range.
Avoid leaving the vehicle in temperatures below -25°C for more than seven days. If the outside temperature drops to - 25°C or lower, the Li-ion battery may freeze, preventing it from charging or powering the vehicle. Move the vehicle to a warmer location to prevent this issue.
Always wear your seat belt:
Wearing your seat belt is crucial in any accident.
Air bags are there to help, but they can't replace seat belts. Make sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts and wear them correctly.
Restrain all children:
Children under 13 should sit in the back seat, not the
front. Babies and small kids should be in a proper Child Restraint System. Older kids should use
a booster seat with the lap and shoulder belt until they can use the seat belt alone.
Air bag hazards:
Air bags save lives but can also hurt people who are too
close or not properly restrained. Babies, small adults, and kids are most at risk. Follow all
instructions and warnings in this manual.
i. Driver distraction:
Distractions can be deadly, especially for new drivers.
Safety should always come first. Avoid distractions like reaching for things, eating, grooming,
passengers, and using phones.
Taking your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel can lead to accidents. To stay safe:
- Set up devices like phones and GPS when stopped.
- Use your phone only when safe and legal.
- Never let a device distract you from driving.
j. Control your speed:
Speeding causes many injuries and deaths in accidents. Faster
speeds mean more risk, but even slower speeds can be dangerous. Drive at a safe speed for the
conditions, no matter the posted limit.
k. Keep your vehicle safe:
Blown tires or mechanical failures are extremely
dangerous. To avoid these problems:
- Check tire pressure and condition often.
- Keep up with regular maintenance.
The purpose of the parking aid is to assist the driver in reversing! The sensors may not be able to detect obstacles of certain type, e.g. narrow posts or small objects no more than a few inches wide, small objects close to the ground, objects above the tailgate and some objects with non-reflective surfaces.
Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow. If deposits build up on the surface of the sensors, their performance may be impaired. When washing the car, avoid aiming high pressure water jets directly at the sensors from close range.
Rear Parking Aid*
The ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper monitor the area behind the vehicle to search for obstacles. If any obstacle is detected, the system will calculate its distance from the rear of the vehicle and communicates the message to the driver by sounding warning chimes.
Parking Aid in Operation*
The rear parking aid is enabled automatically when reverse is selected, it is switched off as soon as reverse is disengaged. A short beep is given by the parking aid within 1 second after selecting reverse to indicate that the system is operating normally.
The entertainment system screen will display a silhouette image of the car showing the object distance values for the sensor.
If a longer, higher pitched sound is emitted for 3 seconds when reverse is selected this indicates a fault in the system. In this case seek assistance from your JSW MG Authorised Repairer.
With the parking aid enabled, when obstacles are detected, the system will give sounds in different frequencies (there might be blind areas).
- If there is an obstacle within 1.2m range from the rear sensors, the system starts to emit a beeping sound. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the beeps are transmitted more rapidly.
- Once the obstruction is within 30cm range of the rear bumper, the beeps will merge into a continuous warning.
- The purpose of the 360 around view system is to assist the driver during parking, The cameras have a limited field of vision and cannot detect obstructions outside the field of vision.
Although the entertainment display can provide newimages around the vehicle, please still pay attention to the current actual road conditions for your driving safety.
Please ensure that the exterior rearview mirrors are unfolded when using the 360 around view system.
With the 360 around view system activated, the entertainment display will display the 360 degree panoramic image of the vehicle to facilitate the observation of the surrounding environment in order to assist with safer driving. Buttons on the entertainment display can be touched to view the newimages from different angles around the vehicle.
The 360 around view system can be enabled using the following methods:
- Selecting Reverse gear.
- Operating the 360 button.
- Using the 'Setting' interface to select low speed switching of corner lights/indicators, this will automatically open the 360 around view system when the indicators are used at low speeds and exit when the indicators are cancelled.
In the 360 around view system display interface, select the settings icon to enable personal settings for system functions.
When the shift lever is placed in a forward gear position, the 360 around view system is inhibited at speeds above or equal to 10mph (15km/h).
The Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) enhances vehicle safety by providing alerts and controls while also improving driver comfort.
The Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is a support system designed to enhance driving comfort but is not a replacement for the driver's attentiveness. The driver must remain in full control of the vehicle at all times, be aware of their surroundings, and drive responsibly.
While ADAS assists with driving, it is essential for the driver to monitor the environment, identify obstacles on the road, judge the distance from these obstacles, and apply adequate braking when necessary. Drivers must also pay close attention to road signs, lane markings, and other traffic regulations, taking appropriate actions accordingly.
The proper functioning of ADAS sensors can be affected if they are misaligned due to damage caused by accidents, particularly in the windshield or bumper areas of the vehicle.
Limitations of Advanced Driver assistance System:

Precautions for Safe Driving
FCWS: Forward Collision Warning System
- The FCWS (including FCW and AEB) is only a driving assistance function. Please always pay attention to the traffic conditions and road environment, and decelerate in time when there is a risk of collision. Do not fully rely on the judgment of the FCWS; otherwise, untimely braking or greater injury may be caused.
- When the FCW is triggered, the vehicle gives an iconic, textual or audible warning. The driver has the responsibility to take immediate measures to prevent the vehicle from further danger. Do not rely on the intervention of AEB.
- The FCWS may give early warning or braking when there is no collision risk, such as camera sensors malfunctions or limitation in functions due to external environment conditions (heavy rain, heavy snow, dust coverage, etc). Therefore, the driver must keep focusing on driving and pay attention to road traffic conditions at all times so as to predict and take any measures to avoid danger.
IHC - Intelligent Headlamp Control
IHC is for auxiliary purpose only, which cannot be guaranteed to be applicable to all driving conditions.
The driver must keep control of the vehicle, drive cautiously and take full responsibility for the vehicle safety.
3.5.3 Camera Sensor*
This vehicle is equipped with a camera sensor, and the figure above illustrates its installation location on the vehicle.
The driving assistance system relies on camera sensors to gather information about the environment and road conditions. It analyzes this data to perform various functions.
Therefore, the proper functioning of the sensors is essential for the system to operate correctly.
3.5.4 IHC: Intelligent Headlamp Control*
- IHC recommends to activate and deactivate the high beam depending on the traffic and environment situation.

The system only provides assistance. You must remain cautious in driving and respond proactively all the time.
Adjust the Set Speed*
- During the activation of ACC, the system will intelligently control the vehicle speed based on the road traffic conditions ahead.
When no vehicle is detected ahead, or when the distance to the vehicle ahead exceeds the set safe distance, the system will accelerate or decelerate to maintain the set speed;
When the system detects that there is a vehicle ahead and it is less than the set safe distance, it will intelligently decelerate as needed to keep a safe following distance with the vehicle in front;
When the vehicle ahead is stationary, the system will control the vehicle to decelerate until it stops;
When the vehicle ahead starts moving, the system controls the vehicle to start as well and alerts with the message "The front vehicle is moving".
- In the non Eco+mode, after activating the ACC feature, if the vehicle speed at the time of activation is ≤10 km/h, the cruise speed will be automatically set to 10 km/h;
If the vehicle speed at the time of activation is between 30 km/h and 130 km/h, then the current vehicle speed will be set as the cruise control speed;
If the vehicle speed is greater than 130 km/h, the intelligent cruise function cannot be activated.
In the Eco+ mode, after activating the ACC feature, If the vehicle speed at startup is ≤10 km/h, the cruise speed will be automatically set to 10 km/h;
If the vehicle speed at the time of activation is between 30 km/h and 80 km/h, then the current vehicle speed will be set as the cruise control speed;
If the vehicle speed is between 80 km/h and 85 km/h when the function is activated, the cruise speed will be automatically set to 80 km/h. If the vehicle speed is greater than 85 km/h, the ACC function cannot be activated.
The driver can increase/decrease the set speed of the ACC by pressing the scroll button up/down, and the set speed is displayed in real-time on the instrument as a digital icon within a blue indicator light.
- Each short pull changes the speed to a multiple of 5; for example, from 31 km/h to 35 km/h. With each long pull, the speed will continue to increase or decrease by 1 km/h.
- The maximum settable speed is 130 km/h (the maximum speed in Eco+mode is 80 km/h) and the minimum is 10 km/h.

The adjusted following distance gear will be displayed on the instrument.
The system will memorize the "distance gap setting" selected by the driver. Each time the vehicle is restarted, it automatically reverts to the previously established distance gap setting.
During the activation of the ACC function, if the driver steps on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle speed will be completely controlled by the driver; if the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the system will automatically resume control of the vehicle speed.
During the activation of the ACC function, if the driver depresses the brake pedal, the ACC function will exit immediately and will not automatically resume control.
The cruise control function is only a driving assistance function, and any active operation by the driver is superior to that by the system. During the activation of this function, please be prepared to take control of the vehicle at any time according to the actual situation and your own judgment.
Exit Function*
During the activation of the ACC function, you can exit the function by any of the following operations:
- Pull up the gearshift lever once;
- Step on the brake pedal.
Take Over the Vehicle in case of Danger*
ACC is a comfortable driving assistance function, requiring the driver to take control of the vehicle if necessary. Therefore, the driver needs to continuously monitor both the vehicle and road conditions throughout the process, hold the steering wheel at all times, and get ready for taking over.
When the system judges that there is a tricky situation requiring the driver to take over, it will send out a request prompt of "Please take over the vehicle immediately".
At this time, you should take over the vehicle immediately to avoid danger. When you take control of the vehicle by stepping on the brake pedal, the ACC function will exit and the vehicle will then be under your driving control.
The ACC function may be canceled or disabled under the following circumstances:

The reverse sensor can only help the driver to make judgment. The driver should always keep concentrated. MG shoulders no responsibility for any personal injury or vehicle damage resulting from careless driving with great reliance on the on-board reverse driving sensor.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle behind it is within about 1.5 m~ 1.0 m, the reverse buzzer sends out alarm sound at long intervals.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle behind it is within about 1.0 m ~ 0.6 m, the reverse buzzer sends out alarm sound at short intervals.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle behind it is within about 0.6 m ~ 0.4 m, the reverse buzzer sends out alarm sound at shorter intervals.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle behind it is within about 0.4 m, the reversing buzzer sends an alarm constantly.
Before reversing, please ensure that no child or animal is near the vehicle. When reversing in an area with complex environments, you'd better get off for confirmation or invite someone for observation outside the vehicle. Do not rely on the reversing auxiliary device as the only basis for safety assessment.
- To ensure reversing safety and to leave enough time for the system to detect, please drive at a speed of 5 km/h or lower during reversing.
- Please stop the vehicle immediately a constant alarm sound is heard in case that the vehicle bumps onto the obstacle behind it.
- Please do not knock the transducers hard or wash them directly with a high pressure water gun, otherwise the transducers can be damaged.
- Sundries on the transducers such as snow, mud and water drops can lead to misoperation.
- Please note that the system is likely to fail to detect the following obstacles: those of a conical shape or acute angle reflectors. Objects which are prone to absorb sound wave, such as cotton and snow. Fine objects such as iron gauze and ropes. Obstacles 30 cm below or protruding obstacles 1m above the ground. The system may detect these obstacles first, but as they become nearer and nearer to the vehicle, they can get out of the effective detection range, not detected as a result.
- False alarms may be raised during uphill or downhill reversing to remind you to be more careful in this case.
- Please note that the system is likely to work abnormally due to wrong induction under the following circumstances: reversing the vehicle on an uneven road, a road paved with round stones, an uphill road or grassland. Interference from ultrasonic noise, metallic sound or high pressure gas emission sound of the same frequency. Foreign matters are attached to the sensor surface.

After unlocking the vehicle, open the driver's side door. The infotainment cluster will activate, and the vehicle will enter the HV state. In HV state, all hybrid circuits are active, allowing you to engage the gear for driving and the A/C system can provide cooling while in HV state.
a. Jump Starting:
If you cannot unlock the vehicle with the remote
control or if nothing appears on the instrument cluster, the 12V battery might be low.
In this situation, you can use another vehicle's 12V battery to jump start your vehicle, unless you are confident in your electrical knowledge and can do it safely.
b. Before Jump Starting
- Place the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach but ensure that their body parts do not touch.
- Always avoid fans or any moving parts in the engine compartment, even when the vehicles are switched off.
- Turn off all electrical devices like radios, lights, and air conditioning. Put both vehicles in Park (P) and engage the parking brake. Turn off both vehicles.
- Open the hood (bonnet).
- Take off the battery cover inside the front trunk.
- Remove the cover of the engine compartment fuse box.
Turn off the audio and other equipment before jump starting.
c. Connecting the Jumper Cables
Before jump starting, make sure to correctly identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals to avoid reverse polar connections.
To jump start the vehicle, follow these steps:
Follow these steps to connect the jumper cables correctly and make sure to follow this sequence as shown in the illustration.
1. First, attach one end of the jumper cable to the red, positive (+) jumper terminal of your vehicle (1)
2. Then, connect the other end of this jumper cable to the red, positive (+) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (2).
3. Next, take the second jumper cable and attach it to the black, negative (-) battery / jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (3).
Finally, connect the other end of this second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
Ensure the jumper cables only touch the correct battery or jumper terminals and the proper ground. Avoid leaning over the battery while making connections.
5. After connecting, follow the starting procedure to get the vehicle into the "READY" state and start it.
6. Keep the vehicle in the "READY" state or at idle or drive the vehicle to ensure the battery receives sufficient charge to start independently after the vehicle is turned off. A fully discharged battery may need up to 120 minutes (about 2 hours) of runtime to recharge completely. Running the vehicle for less time may not be enough to restart the battery.
If your vehicle does not start after several attempts, it needs service. Please seek assistance from Roadside Assistance or the nearest JSW MG authorised service center and let it be attended by trained professionals.
If you are unsure why your battery discharged, we recommend having your vehicle inspected by JSW MG authorised service center.
It is advisable to contact the JSW MG authorised service center for dedicated charging of the 12V battery as soon as possible.
To safely disconnect the jumper cables, follow these steps in reverse order of connection:
- Remove the jumper cable from the black, negative (-) chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
- Disconnect the other end of this jumper cable from the black, negative (-) battery/chassis ground of the assisting vehicle (3).
- Take off the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (2).
- Disconnect the other end of this jumper cable from the red, positive (+) jumper terminal of your vehicle (1).
Ensure you follow this exact sequence to avoid any electrical hazards.
There is a risk of battery explosion, which can cause burns from battery acid and could lead to electrical short circuits, resulting in personal injury or vehicle damage.
- Keep the battery away from flames or sparks. Avoid leaning over the battery during jump- starting.
- Prevent the cable terminals from touching each other.
- Wear safety goggles when working near the battery.
- Avoid contact between battery acid and eyes, skin, fabric, or paint surfaces.
- Make sure the replacement automotive battery for jump- starting matches the voltage of the original vehicle battery.
- Do not disconnect a dead battery from the vehicle.
Failure to follow these precautions or instructions could lead to a battery explosion, causing burns from battery acid or electrical system damage in both vehicles, and serious personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cables to charge a vehicle:
- When jump-starting your vehicle, prevent the positive (+) and negative (-) cables from touching each other. A spark could result in personal injury.
- Avoid connecting to the negative (-) terminal of the battery last. - Instead, attach the final clip to a metal part of the car's body, away from the battery. Do not connect it to any components.
- Connecting the jumper cable to the negative terminal of a dead battery could create sparks and lead to the battery exploding. A spark could cause the battery to explode, resulting in personal injury or vehicle damage.
- This can cause severe injuries or harm to the vehicle.
- Connecting jumper cables to components can also damage them.
Avoid using the battery to power other devices for extended periods. This can drain the battery quickly and might lead to accidents.
Improperly disposing of a battery can harm the environment and human health. Follow your local laws or regulations for proper battery disposal.
To protect your vehicle from damage:
- Use only a 12-volt power source (battery or jumper system) for jump-starting.
- Do not try to jump-start your vehicle by pushing it.
- Always ensure that the battery cover and cables are securely tightened after completing the jump start. Failure to do so could damage parts, cause noise issues, or allow foreign substances to enter.
If emergency towing is required, we recommend having it performed by an authorized JSW MG RSA partner or a professional tow-truck service.
a. Recommended towing procedure:
If your vehicle breaks down, we recommend towing it
with the driving wheels off the ground or placing it on a flatbed truck, as illustrated
Proper lifting and towing methods are crucial to avoid damaging the vehicle. Using wheel dollies or a flatbed is highly recommended.
Do not use lifting chain equipment to tow the vehicle. Instead, use plates or wheel lifting devices.
If towing the vehicle from the front is necessary, ensure the towing device supports the rear wheels off the ground. The rear wheels should not touch the ground during front towing. If the rear wheels are on the ground during towing from the front, it can cause significant damage to the car's engine.
For 2WD vehicles, towing with the front wheels on the ground (without dollies) and the rear wheels off the ground is acceptable. If any loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged or if towing with the rear wheels on the ground is necessary, use a towing dolly under the rear wheels.
It is prohibited to allow passengers to be seated in the towed vehicles.
Towing speed is not allowed to exceed the safe speed or the indicated road speed limit.
It is prohibited to use damaged parts that are not firmly secured onto the vehicle for towing. Failure to comply with the above precautions may result in personal injury.
Guidelines for moving a short distance before towing a vehicle:
- Only move within 394 inches (10 meters) at a speed of 5 km/hr or slower, typically when loading onto a tow truck or adjusting position.
- Ensure the gear is in 'N' (neutral) and the parking brake is off during this movement. If unable to operate the transmission and parking brake, lift the rear wheels.
Avoid lifting the vehicle with the tow fitting or body and chassis parts to prevent potential damage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed equipment.
b. Towing with a wheel lifter
Step 1: Installing the Removable Towing Hook:
1. Open the tailgate and take out the towing hook from the tool case.
2. Remove the hole cover:
- Open the lower part of the bumper hole cover with the help of screw driver.
3. Insert the towing hook into the hole and turn it clockwise until it is fully tightened.
4. After use, remove the towing hook and reinstall the cover.
Failure to properly tighten the towing hook may result in vehicle damage and damage of related parts.
Please ensure that the towing hook is tightened properly. If not, during towing the towing hook may be thrown off the vehicle resulting in serious injury or accident.
Step 2 :
a. Turn on the hazard warning lamp.
b. Power off the vehicle.
c. Release the parking brake.
d. Front wheels must be off the ground when towing.
When towing the vehicle with a flatbed trailer, check that it is firmly fixed to the trailer.
If the vehicle needs to be towed from the front, make sure to use a towing device that lifts the rear wheels off the ground. The rear wheels should not touch the ground during towing from the front. If the rear wheels are on the ground during towing, it can cause significant damage to the car's engine.
c. Emergency Towing:
If a towing truck is not available during an emergency, you can
temporarily secure a rope to the front towing hook under the vehicle for traction.
When towing the vehicle using the front towing hook, only use a tow rope. Do not use a rigid tow bar.
Your vehicle can be towed by other vehicles, but it should not be used to tow other vehicles.
When towing the vehicle with ropes, there is a risk of damage. Follow these guidelines to minimize potential problems:
- Use the towing hook if other towing equipment is unavailable or if the vehicle needs to be pulled out of a difficult situation.
- Always tow the vehicle from the front only.
- Ensure the tow rope does not touch the bumper.
- Secure both ends of the tow rope tightly to the towing hook. Check the rope for any signs of wear.
- Drive the vehicle slowly and avoid sharp turns to prevent loss of control.
- Keep the towing distance short and maintain a low towing speed.
- Do not tow the vehicle if the wheel, axle, steering, or brakes are damaged.
- Do not remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent the steering wheel from locking and immobilizing the vehicle.
- Do not exceed 30 km/h when towing and limit towing distances to 40 km.

Clean the halogen bulb with alcohol or mineral spirits and non- woven fabrics. Do not touch the bulb with hands directly. Fingerprints may significantly shorten the effective service life of the halogen bulb.
Professional skills and special equipment are required for lamp bulb replacement. It is recommended that you have this done at the JSW MG authorised service center. Otherwise, it may cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle.
Lamp fogging:
When the headlamp is on, a large amount of heat will be generated,
which needs to be dissipated through the vent hole on the lamp, so the lamp is not completely sealed,
and humid air can enter the lamp through the vent hole. When the temperature in the lamp is obviously
higher than the ambient temperature or the ambient humidity is high, for example, in cold or humid
weather, or when the vehicle is running in rain, or after it is washed, the water vapor inside the
lamp will condense on the surface of the lamp cover, resulting in water mist (similar to the fogging
phenomenon of the window glass). It is normal that the lighting function and the service life of
headlamps will not be affected. Park the vehicle in a dry, ventilated area and the moisture will
gradually dissipate. The water mist dissipates faster when the vehicle is driving with lamps on or
exposed to sunlight, but there may still be residue at the corners of the lamps.
It may take 2-3 days for the water mist to completely dissipate. If there are a lot of water drops or accumulated water in the lamp, please contact the JSW MG authorised service center for maintenance.
Wheels and tires:
Original tires guarantee optimum matching of riding comfort, tread
life and performance. The car is not provided with spare tire, jack and socket wrench. If you need to
change the tire, please contact the JSW MG authorised service center for wheel and tire replacement.
Be sure to use wheels and tires of specified specifications. The use of wheels and/or tires of other specifications may result in abnormal operation of ABS and other relevant components and even cause collision accidents.
Please consult the JSW MG authorised service center before replacing original tires or wheels.
Otherwise, it may cause personal injury and damage the vehicle or other properties.
Maintenance:
The tire pressure shall meet provisions of this Manual so as to ensure
optimum matching of driving comfort, safety and driveability.
Please refer to “Technical Data” for the correct tire pressure. When the vehicle is in a cool state, check the tire pressure with an accurate tire pressure gauge. After check of tire pressure, tighten the valve core cap.
Make sure to check the tire pressure when the vehicle is in a cool state. It cannot be based on a reading after the tire temperature has risen. Tires will become hot after traveling for 1.6 Km and will not cool down completely within 3h after stopping.
Check the tire pressure atleast once a month. Incorrect tire pressure may:
- Increase tire wear
- Affect the vehicle maneuverability and safety
- Affect the riding comfort
- Reduce the drive economy
- Vehicle overload is prohibited
- Be sure to keep a proper tire inflation pressure.
- Be sure to check the tire inflation pressure at the time of cold start (ambient temperature).
Excessively low tire pressure will cause overheat of the tire, leading to internal damage and layered tread and even tire burst when driving at a high speed. Even if the tire pressure is restored later, driving under excessively low pressure may have damaged the tire.
Tires and wheels maintenance:
Running over sharp objects may damage tires and
wheels. If it is inevitable, please slow down.
Do not touch the curb when parking.
Regular tire check
- Appearance damage
- Foreign matter
- Piercing
- Cut
- Crack
- Protruding on side wall
Wheels should also be checked for damage. Tire defects, including those mentioned above, can result in loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
Incase of damage or abnormal wear of tires or wheels, please consult the JSW MG authorised service center for help. The vehicle is equipped with radial tires. MG suggests replacing with radial tires of the same size, pattern, tread wear, temperature and rated speed.
How to check
Use a good quality tyre pressure gauge to check tyre pressure. You can not tell if your tyres are properly inflated simply by looking at them.
Radial tyres may look properly inflated when they are underinflated. Remove the valve cap from the tyre valve stem. Press the tyre gauge firmly onto the valve to get a pressure measurement. If the cold tyre inflation pressure matches the recommended pressure on the tyre and loading information label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the pressure is low, add air until you reach the recommended pressure. Make sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install a new one as soon as possible.
If you overfill the tyre, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the centre of the tyre valve. Recheck the tyre pressure with the tyre gauge. Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If a valve cap is missing, install a new one as soon as possible
The use of tires with different size than the original tires may cause the tire and the vehicle component to interfere with each other, thus causing damage to the tire and vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with TPMS, the tyre repairing liquid for tyre repair may result in the failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system sensor. It is suggested to go the JSW MG authorised service center for inquiries and repair.
Wheel alignment and tyre balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tyre life and best overall performance. In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again. However, if you notice unusual tyre wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Improper wheel weights can damage your vehicle's aluminium wheels. Use only approved wheel weights.
Internal tread wear indicator:
Check the tire tread depth as per the tread wear indicator regularly. The mark on the tire wall indicates the position of the tread wear indicator. The tire must be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears. When the tread depth is equal to or less than 1.6 mm due to wear, the tread wear indicator will appear between the tread grooves.
It is forbidden to drive the vehicle in case of tire wear or damage. The worn or damaged tires may lead to the vehicle out of control and cause collision accidents, resulting in personal injury and damage of vehicle or other properties.
Tyre rotation:
/CH-4/MGI00456.jpg)
The front tires and the rear tires have different functions and therefore have different levels of wear. The front tires wear faster than the rear tires. In order to prolong the tire life and avoid uneven tread wear:
1. Rotate tires according to the maintenance procedures in this Manual.
2. Keep a proper tire pressure.
3. Check the tightening of nuts/bolts
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out of-balance wheels, severe braking or severe cornering. Look for bumps or bulges in the tread or side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you find any of these conditions. Replace the tyre if fabric or cord is visible. After rotation, be sure to bring the front and rear tyre pressures to specification and check lug nut tightness.
Tyres that are asymmetrical or directional can only be installed on the wheel in one direction. The outside and inside of an asymmetrical tyre is not easily distinguishable. Pay careful attention to the markings on the sidewalls of the tyres, noting the "outside" marking and the rotating direction before installing them on the vehicle.
Please use the recommended wheels and wheel nuts/bolts.
Otherwise, it may lead to the vehicle out of control and cause collision accidents, resulting in personal injury and damage of vehicle or other properties.
Winter tyre
Using winter tyres when driving on icy and snowy roads can improve the driving safety of vehicles. Please select winter tyres with radial tyre structure and use such winter tyres on all four wheels. Please use the specified tyre pressure. Do not drive the vehicle at a speed exceeding the maximum speed specified by the tyre manufacturer. In addition to winter tyres, all-weather tyres can also be selected.
Tyre chain
Tyre chains are only used for emergencies or in areas clearly defined by law and should be installed on the drive wheels. Be especially careful when driving the vehicle equipped with tyre chains. Compared with tyres without tyre chains, when tyres are installed with tyre chains, the maneuverability of the vehicle is poor, and the tyre chain may damage the vehicle tyre, suspension or vehicle body. Therefore, use fine antiskid chains as much as possible to ensure enough space between the tyre and other parts in the wheelhouse.
When using antiskid chains, carefully read the installation and other related instructions of the tyre chains manufacturer.
Tyre Sidewall Labelling
This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tyre and also provides the tyre identification number (TIN) for safety standard certification. The TIN can be used to identify the tyre in case of a recall.
1.Manufacturer or brand name Manufacturer or brand name is shown.
