PREPARATIONS FOR TRIP
Towing
When fitting a towing device to your vehicle:
When towing: All lights at the rear of your vehicle must
remain visible to road users behind your vehicle and must
not be fully or partially blocked.
Towing Function
Towing Device Safety Precautions
If the light sources are blocked when towing, auxiliary light
sources such as light panels shall be used.
Exceeding any load limits advised by
MG Motor is dangerous. Consult the
3
recommended load limits and loading prior
to any journey.
When not towing: The fitted towing device must not block
any light sources. If the towing device fully or partially
blocks a light source (such as fog lamp), it must be removed
or retracted when not towing.
Excessive towing loads reduce front tyre
traction and steering control, too little
trailer nose load can make the trailer
unstable and cause it to sway.
Tow Bar
It is recommended to fit the original tow bar approved by
MG and use the specified connection method to secure the
traction frame. Please contact an MG Authorised Repairer
for more details.
Please be sure to read the towing guidelines carefully, use
approved equipment and comply with load limits and always
check load limits before towing.
Towing a load exceeding the maximum towing weight will
severely affect the manoeuverability and performance of
the vehicle, which may cause damage to the vehicle and
driveline.
Safety Chain
Safety chain must be used to prevent the trailer from being
accidentally decoupled. Ensure that the safety chain is
securely attached to the trailer and your vehicle before
starting off.
