EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Ensure the START/STOP switch is turned off and switch off
ALL electrical equipment of BOTH vehicles, then follow the
instructions below:
shutting down the engine of the donor vehicle and
disconnecting the booster cables.
Important
1
Connect the RED booster cable between the positive
(+) terminals of both batteries. Connect the BLACK
booster cable from the negative (-) terminal of the
donor battery (A) to a good earth point (an engine
mounting or other unpainted surface, for example), as
far away from the battery as possible and well away
from fuel and brake lines on the disabled vehicle (B).
NEVER turn on any electrical equipment on the
started vehicle before removing the booster cables.
5
Disconnecting the booster cables must be an exact
reversal of the procedure used to connect them, i.e.
disconnect the BLACK cable from the earth point on
the disabled vehicle FIRST.

engines, then start the engine of the donor vehicle and

more than 10 seconds). If the disabled vehicle will
not start after several attempts, it may need to be
repaired. Please contact the MG Authorised Repairer.

After both the vehicles have normally started, allow
the engines to idle for more than 2 minutes before
