DRIVE THE VEHICLE

Dual Clutch Automatic Transmission^*

Instructions for Use

Gear Shift

The following information is very important; please read

carefully before use:

•

Before starting the vehicle, close the doors, make sure

the vehicle is in P gear, press the brake pedal and activate

the EPB system.

•

After starting the vehicle, with the brake and EPB still

applied, shift into the desired gear.

Turn off the EPB, keep the brake pedal depressed until

you are ready to manoeuvre the vehicle. On a ﬂat

road, once the brake pedal is released, the vehicle will

automatically start to travel at a slow speed with the

accelerator pedal not depressed.

The transmission is a 7 - speed wet dual clutch automatic

transmission.

•

DO NOT coast in when driving, it could damage the

transmission or cause an accident.

The shift knob resides in the centre steady state position,

with two non-steady state positions forward or backward,

i.e., the shift knob returns to the centre steady state

position once released.

Note: When moving out of the P gear or entering the

R gear, the brake pedal must be applied.

state position and the vehicle will shift into the Neutral

gear.

When the shift lever is in this position, the transmission

will be mechanically locked. Use this gear when the

vehicle is stationary and the EPB is applied.

Press the P button and the vehicle will shift into Park

gear.

With the vehicle in D gear, push the shift knob forward

to the ﬁrst non-steady state position and the vehicle will

shift into the Neutral gear.

With the vehicle in R gear, push the knob backward to

the ﬁrst non-steady state position and the vehicle will

shift into the Neutral gear.

Note: When the Start switch is turned off, the

vehicle will automatically shift into P gear.

Note: With the brake pedal released, the driver

seat belt unfastened and the driver door open, the

vehicle engages P gear automatically.

•

D : Drive gear

This is used for normal driving and will allow automatic

selection of Drive gear depending on vehicle speed and

accelerator pedal position.

•

R : Reverse

Select this gear only when the vehicle is stationary and

the driver has the intention to drive backwards.

Depress the brake pedal and push the shift knob

forward to the end and the vehicle will go into reverse

gear.

With the vehicle in P gear, depress the brake pedal and

push the knob backward to the end and the vehicle

enters drive gear.

With the vehicle in R/N gear, push the shift knob

backward to the end and the vehicle enters drive gear.

S : Sport Mode

N : Neutral

•

Select this gear when the vehicle is stationary and the

engine is running at idle speed for a long time (for

example, waiting for trafﬁc lights).

Select Sport mode when better acceleration

performance is required. Format spacing here Sport

mode, the transmission upshifts later, so as to make full

use of the power reserves of the engine.

With the vehicle in P gear, depress the brake pedal, push

the knob forward or backward to the ﬁrst non-steady

will automatically upshift to an adjacent higher gear to

protect the engine if there is no upshift request.

Push the knob to left to exit manual mode.

Driving in Sport Mode will increase energy

consumption.

•

Gear Shift Indications^*

To exit Sport mode, push the knob to left.

For fuel economy considerations, in manual mode,

when the system determines that a gear change is

necessary, the combination instrument panel will display

an upshift or downshift arrow, reminding the driver to

upshift or downshift when conditions permit.

•

Manual Mode

With the vehicle in S gear, push the knob forward or

backward to enter manual mode. The instrument pack

interface displays the current gear of the vehicle.

Move the knob towards ' + ' direction to upshift to an

adjacent higher gear; or move the knob towards ' - ' to

downshift to an adjacent lower gear.

IMPORTANT

Do not rely solely on the indicated

upshifting/downshifting suggestions, as actual

driving situations may require different gear shifting

operations than indicated. To avoid the danger of

accidents, the driver must correctly assess the road

and trafﬁc conditions before shifting gears.

Under manual mode, if the driver makes an

unreasonable gear selection, such as requests an upshift

during low engine speeds or requests a downshift

during high engine speeds, the transmission will not

respond and will remain in the current gear. When the

vehicle drives in a certain gear and the engine speed

is lower than a certain value, the transmission will

automatically downshift to an adjacent lower gear to

avoid engine ﬂameout; when the vehicle accelerates

and the engine speed rises up continuously to the

maximum speed allowable by the gear, the transmission

Note: The gearshift operation shall be made on the

premise that your own safety is guaranteed and the

trafﬁc laws are observed.

is activated on road surfaces with low

adhesion, this may lead to the vehicle

sliding out of control.

Automatic Transmission Overheat Protection

With D or S gear selected, depressing the accelerator

pedal all the way down in one motion (also known as

Kick-down ) will provide better acceleration performance

during overtaking. At certain speeds, it will allow the

transmission to shift to a lower gear immediately and

provide fast acceleration. Once the accelerator pedal is

released, it will resume a suitable higher gear (based on the

vehicle speed and the position of the accelerator pedal).

Starting off frequently at high ambient temperatures

or transmission overload may cause high transmission

temperatures. To prevent transmission damage, the system

will perform the overheat protection function and the

instrument pack interface will display the corresponding

warning message.

4

With the transmission overheating, the instrument pack

interface will indicate 'Please Speed Up or Stop Safely',

at the moment, please speed up to above 12 mph (20

km/h) or park safely and shift to P gear to cool down the

transmission as the conditions permit.

When the transmission is severely overheated, the

instrument pack interface will display 'Please Stop Safely',

therefore, please stop as soon as safety permits and shift

to the P gear to cool down the transmission.

After parking safely, the instrument pack interface will

indicate 'Please Wait'. Only when the transmission

temperature has reduced and the instrument pack interface

displays 'Ready for Driving' can the vehicle start off.

protect the transmission and the vehicle will not be able to

be driven! If this occurs, please contact an MG Authorised

Repairer immediately.

If the driver operates as per the above messages for

20 minutes and the warning message in the above

instrument pack interface is still not altered or disappeared,

please seek an MG Authorised Repairer urgently or the

transmission may be severely damaged.

Gear Shift System Failure

When some serious functional failures occur in the gear

shift system, the P gear indicator will ﬂash and the vehicle

will not be able to make the gear shift. As a protection

feature and for driving safety, the power system will forcibly

cut off the power transmission when the vehicle speed falls

below a certain value and the vehicle will not be able to be

driven! In some cases, the vehicle will not be able to be

put into P gear. Please stop the vehicle at a safe zone when

the conditions permit and apply the EPB.

Limp Mode

When some failures occur, the transmission will enter

Limp Mode and will only function in some gears, in some

cases it may fail to reverse, during this time the instrument

pack interface will display the engine emission malfunction

indicator lamp. If this occurs, please contact an MG

Authorised Repairer immediately.

If the above situation occurs, please seek an MG

Authorised Repairer immediately.

Transmission Fault

When the transmission detects

a

serious functional

fault, the engine emission malfunction indicator lamp will

illuminate and the instrument pack interface displays ' EP
