valve. Ensure that the power switch of the electric  
air compressor is switched off (i.e., press “O”), then  
insert the plug from the compressor into the centre  
console power socket, and turn the START/STOP  
Switch to the position "ON/RUNNING".  
3
Switch on the power switch of the electric compressor  
(i.e., press “-”), to start pumping sealant into the  
tyre. The tyre sealant bottle will become empty after  
approximately 30 seconds. The tyre should reach the  
specified pressure within 5 or 10 minutes.  
Note: The pressure gauge may briefly reach 6  
bar (87 psi), then the pressure begins to drop to  
normal.  
4
When the required pressure is reached, switch off the  
power switch of the electric compressor (i.e., press  
“O”).  
Note:  
If the required pressure cannot be  
reached within 10 minutes, please disconnect the  
compressor, drive the vehicle 10 metres (33 feet)  
approx forward or backward to allow the sealant  
to spread within the tyre. If the required pressure  
can still not be reached, the tyre is severely  
damaged and you should seek assistance from the  
MG Authorised Repairer.  
Note:  
To avoid battery discharge, it is  
recommended to keep the engine running.  
236  
EMERGENCY INFORMATION  
Note: Consecutive operation of Electric air  
compressor for more than 10 minutes may result  
in damage to the compressor.  
•
•
If the tyre pressure has dropped to less than 0.8 bar  
(11.6 psi), do not continue driving, seek assistance  
instead.  
If the tyre pressure is between 0.8 bar (11.6 psi) and  
specified pressure, connect the hose of electric air  
pump to the tyre valve, and connect the plug of the  
electric air pump to the power socket, then switch on  
the electric air pump to inflate the tyre until it reaches  
the specified pressure. Repeat the operations of step 6  
after driving a maximum distance of 3 miles (5 km).  
Note: Under no circumstances should you  
continue your journey with  
a
deflated tyre.  
Driving a vehicle with a deflated tyre is extremely  
dangerous.

Remove the tyre sealant bottle from the slot in the  
compressor, disconnect the hose from the tyre valve,  
remove the compressor plug from the centre console  
power socket, return the tyre repair kit to its stowage  
tray.

After successfully adding sealant to the tyre, drive  
immediately for a short time (around one minute) this  
will allow the sealant to distribute evenly inside the  
tyre. Continue driving and do not exceed 50 mph(80  
km/h).After a further 10 minutes, find a safe place to  
stop and recheck the tyre pressure.  
Please take different measures based on the tyre pressure  
measured:  
237  
EMERGENCY INFORMATION  
*
•
If the tyre pressure has not dropped, you may continue  
driving, but the vehicle speed must not exceed 50 MPH  
(80 km/h), and the driving mileage must not exceed 125  
miles (200 km).  
Changing a Wheel  
If you need to change the wheel during the journey, choose  
a safe place to stop away from the main road if possible.  
Always ask your passengers to get out of the car and wait  
in a safe area away from other traffic.  
Note:  
DO NOT remove foreign objects (eg.  
screws,nails) from the tyre. The tyre repair system  
must only be used when the foreign object is in the  
tread pattern (A), DO NOT attempt a repair when  
the damage is in the sidewall of the tyre (B).  
Switch on hazard warning lamps. If available, position  
a warning triangle about 50 to 150 metres behind your  
vehicle to warn approaching traffic.  
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front wheels are in the  
straight ahead position. Apply the parking brake and place  
the gear shift lever of transmission in N position.  
Observe the following precautions:  
•
•
Ensure the jack is positioned on firm, level ground.  
If the vehicle must be parked on the hill, place chocks  
in front of and behind other 3 wheels to prevent the  
vehicle moving.  
Positioning the Jack  
NEVER work beneath the car with the jack  
as the only means of support. The jack is  
designed for wheel changing only!  
238  
EMERGENCY INFORMATION  
NEVER jack the car using any jacking points  
domed head of the jack must fit into the corresponding  
recess in the sill plate (There is a triangle indicator in the  
area shown by the arrowhead. See the illustration above).  
other than the jacking points.  
damage to the car could result.  
Serious  
Turning the jack screw by hand, adjust the jack until the jack  
head fits snugly onto the sill in the correct area. Ensure that  
the base of the jack is in full contact with the level ground.  
Fitting the Spare Wheel  
Regularly check the spare wheel tyre  
pressure, it may not be used for long  
periods of time. After fitment, at the first  
opportunity check and adjust the tyre  
pressure.

The wheel bolts must be tightened to the  
specified torque after changing  
a
wheel  
～
(120 130 Nm).  
Avoid accidental contact with any underbody  
parts, especially hot exhaust system  
components.

Before raising the car, use the special tool supplied  
with the vehicle to remove each wheel bolt cap. Use  
the wheel bolt spanner to slacken each bolt half a turn  
anti-clockwise.  
Position the jack on firm level ground under the jacking  
point nearest the wheel to be removed. Note that the

Turn the handle in a clockwise direction until the tyre  
is clear of the ground.  
Note: DO NOT stand on the handle of the wheel bolt  
spanner or use extension tube on the handle of the  
spanner.  
3
Remove the wheel bolts and place them in the tool tray  
to prevent them from being lost. Make sure the vehicle  
is steady and there is no risk of slip or movement  
before removing wheel bolts.  
Note: When replacing the wheel, please fully tighten  
the bolts in the diagonal sequence twice.  
Note: Consult your MG Authorised Repairer or tyre  
specialist for a replacement tyre, as soon as possible.

Remove the road wheel.  
Note: Avoid placing wheels face down on the  
ground - the surface may be scratched.  
Spacesaver Spare Wheel  
Only one spacesaver spare wheel can be used  
at any one time, otherwise the operational  
performance and brake performance may be  
reduced, thereby leading to accident or injury  
to yourself and others.  
Fit the spare wheel and tighten the wheel bolts with  
wheel bolt spanner until the wheel is seated firmly  
against the hub.

Lower the car and remove the jack, then FULLY tighten  
the wheel bolts in a diagonal sequence.  
When driving on icy or slippery surfaces it is  
advised to fit the spacesaver wheel to the rear  
of the vehicle to maintain adaquate stability.  
This may mean swapping a front wheel with  
a rear wheel.  
Finally, return the tools to the toolbox, put the toolbox  
into the well of the boot floor, tighten the spare wheel  
retaining nuts, and put the replaced wheel above the  
toolbox in the well in the load space floor (face down).  
Lower the boot floor, and put the boot storage box on  
the boot floor.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION  
Snow chains can not be used on the  
spacesaver spare wheel, this can cause  
damage to the car and snow chain.  
When the spacesaver spare wheel is fitted, the vehicle  
speed should not exceed 50 mph(80 km/h). Please have  
the full-scale tyre repaired and replace the spare wheel as  
soon as possible. This will extend the life span of the spare  
wheel for other emergencies.  
Note: DO NOT use an automatic car wash when  
the spacesaver wheel is fitted, the guide rails of the  
car wash may conflict with the wheel/tyre and cause  
damage.
