Electric Drive Unit^*

Instructions for Use

Gear Shift

The following information is very important; please read

carefully before use:

•

The electric drive unit is a high voltage unit; DO NOT

touch it without authorisation.

•

Before starting the vehicle, shift into P or N gear and

ensure that the brake pedal is depressed and EPB is

applied.

•

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 electronic shift knob resides in the centre steady state

position, with two non-steady state positions forward or

backward, i.e., the electronic 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.

vehicle is running.

•

N : Neutral

Select this gear when the vehicle is stationary and the

power system is running for a long time (for example,

waiting for trafﬁc lights).

During driving, do not move the shift lever

from D to R or P position, otherwise the

severe damage to electric drive unit or

dangerous accident may occur.

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

the knob backward to the ﬁrst non-steady state position

and the vehicle will shift into Neutral gear.

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

the ﬁrst non-steady state position and the vehicle will

shift into Neutral gear.

•

P : Park

When the shift lever is in this position, the transmission

will be mechanically locked. Use this gear when the

vehicle is stationary.

Press the P button and the vehicle will shift into Park

gear.

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

the ﬁrst non-steady state position and the vehicle will

shift into Neutral gear.

Note: Turn off the Start switch and the vehicle will

automatically shift into P gear.

•

D : Drive

Note: With the brake pedal released, the driver

seat belt unfastened and the driver's door open, the

vehicle will shift to P gear automatically.

This is used for normal driving and will allow automatic

selection of Drive gear depending on vehicle speed and

accelerator pedal position.

•

R : Reverse

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

the shift knob backward to the end and the vehicle will

shift into Drive gear.

Select this gear only when the vehicle is stationary and

the driver has the intention to drive backwards.

DRIVE THE VEHICLE

With the vehicle in R/N gear, depress the brake pedal,

push the shift knob backward to the end and the vehicle

will shift into Drive gear.

Protection Mode

When parking the vehicle, please ensure the

vehicle is parked safely and that all trafﬁc

by-laws are observed.

Kick-down

The drive wheels may skid when kick-down

is activated on road surfaces with low

adhesion, this may lead to the vehicle

sliding out of control.

Electric Drive Unit Overheat Protection

The electric drive unit may become very hot in

high-temperature environment with frequent starting,

frequent rapid acceleration and deceleration, long-term

continuous steep climbing and overload of the electric

drive unit. In order to avoid damage to the motor, the

system will activate the overheat protection function.

a

With D gear selected, pressing 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).

When the system detects that the electric drive unit

is overheated, the warning indicator on the instrument

interface

will illuminate.

In this case, park your car in a safe place or keep a low load

and continue to drive your car at a constant speed to cool

the motor. Only when the motor temperature is reduced

and the warning indicator extinguishes can the vehicle be

started off or be shifted to other gear for driving.

If the above-mentioned warning indicator does not go out

after the electric drive unit has cooled down for a long

place and contact an MG Authorised Repairer for service

as soon as possible, otherwise it may seriously damage the

electric drive unit.

When there are some failures in the electric drive

unit, the electric drive unit will enter the limp home

mode. In this case, the electric drive unit can only

work at certain gears, the red warning indicator on the

When some serious functional failures occur in the gear

shift system, the instrument interface will display ' EP '. At

this time, to guarantee the driving safety, the hybrid power

system will forcibly cut off the power transmission when

the vehicle speed is lower than certain value and the vehicle

will not be able to drive! If this occurs, please contact an

MG Authorised Repairer immediately for service.

Unable to Start the Engine

When the engine is needed, the system will try to get it

started. If it fails to start the engine, the yellow warning

indicator on the instrument interface

will illuminate.

Due to the starting failure of the engine, the vehicle can

only be driven under pure electric mode in this case, pay

attention to the power of the high-voltage battery! If

this occurs, please contact an MG Authorised Repairer

immediately for service. The instrument pack interface will

show the warning message 'Engine Unavailable Currently,

Please Pay Attention to the Battery Power'.
