STARTING & DRIVING
*
MG Pilot System
works on the basis of the adaptive cruise control system.
If the lane lines ahead on both sides are clear, the system
can assist the vehicle in driving within the lane lines. When
driving at a speed lower than 37mph (60km/h), if there is a
vehicle ahead and the lane lines ahead on both sides aren’t
clear, the system also can assist the vehicle in following the
track of the vehicle ahead.
The assistant technology used in the MG
pilot system cannot replace the driver’s
judgment on the road and traffic conditions.
The system can provide assistance for the
driver but cannot replace the driver in driving.
When choosing to use the MG pilot system,
due to the limitations of system detection
and control, the driver must always be
careful. Failure to maintain overall control
of the vehicle may result in an accident or
personal injury.
Note: The driver should adjust the vehicle speed and
the following distance according to the road visibility,
weather and road conditions. The MG pilot system
does not respond to pedestrians, animals, stationary
vehicles and vehicles that drive across the lane or
oncoming vehicles in the same lane. If the MG pilot
system cannot reduce the vehicle speed adequately,
the driver MUST apply the brakes. In congested
conditions, should another vehicle cut into the lane
being used by the vehicle under MG pilot control, the
system may not detect the vehicle in adequate time
to make a braking manoeuvre. In this case the brakes
should be applied by the driver.

The MG pilot system is a driver assistance
function, it’s not auto pilot. There are many
situations where the function is restricted or
exits. The driver needs to hold the steering
wheel at all times and correct or take over
the steering wheel control if necessary.
The MG pilot system needs to be used in conjunction with
the adaptive cruise control system. The MG pilot system
In the absence of a steering input from the driver for some
seconds, an acoustic warning is provided, the instrument
