Starting & Driving
Alarm Systems
Your vehicle is fitted with engine immobiliser system and
body antitheft 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 alarm systems.
Engine Immobiliser
Engine immobiliser is designed to safeguard the vehicle
from theft. Engine immobilisation can only be deactivated
to start the car by using the matched key.
Press START STOP button on the instrument panel, once a
valid key is detected in the vehicle, engine immobiliser will
be deactivated automatically.
If the message centre displays "Smart Key Not Found" or
"Please Put the Key in Alternative Starting Position" or the
engine immobiliser system warning lamp illuminates, please
put the smart key at the bottom of the centre console
cup holder (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, seek an MG
Authorised Repairer.
