STARTING & DRIVING
Alarm System
Your car is fitted with an anti-theft alarm and engine
immobilisation system. To ensure maximum safety and
operation convenience, we strongly recommend you to
carefully read this chapter to fully understand the activation
and deactivation of anti-theft systems.
Engine Immobilisation
Engine Immobilisation is designed to safeguard the vehicle
from theft. Engine Immobilisation can only be deactivated
to start the engine by using the matched key.
Engine Immobilisation (Key Start)
*
When the matched key is inserted into the START/STOP
Switch and the car is started, engine immobilisation is
deactivated automatically. When the key is removed from
the START/STOP Switch, the vehicle will automatically
enable engine immobilisation.
When the START/STOP
Switch is in the ON position, if the engine immobiliser
cannot identify the key inserted into the START/STOP
Switch, the engine immobilisation warning lamp in the
instrument pack illuminates.
If the engine still can not
be started by using the spare key, please contact an MG
Authorised Repairer.
Engine Immobilisation (Keyless Start)
*
Press the START/STOP Switch on the instrument
panel, once a valid key is detected in the vehicle, the
immobilisation system will be deactivated automatically.
If the message centre displays ‘Smart Key Not Detected’
or ‘Put Key Into Back-up Position’ or the anti-theft
immobiliser system warning lamp illuminates, please put
the smart key at the bottom of the centre console cup
holder or storage compartment (refer to ‘Alternative
Starting Procedure’ in ‘Starting and Stopping Engine’
section), or try to use the spare key. If the car can still not
be started, please contact an MG Authorised Repairer.
