Starting & Driving
IMPORTANT
After the door is locked by using the key, press the
button on the door handle to unlock the car. If the car
cannot be unlocked or locked normally, seek an MG
Authorised Repairer.
Mislock
If locking operation is performed when the driver's door is
not fully closed or the ignition switch is placed in position
ACC/ON/RUN, the door will not be locked, and the
horn will sound once to indicate a mislock, with the body
antitheft system inoperative.
If locking operation is performed when the driver's door is
closed but the passenger's door or bonnet and tailgate are
not fully closed, the vehicle horn will sound once, indicating
a mislock. In this case, the ‘partial arming’ attributes of
the body antitheft system will enable (all fully closed doors,
bonnet or tailgate apertures will be protected, but an open
aperture will not!). As soon as the open aperture is closed,
the system will automatically revert to an armed state.
Antitheft Alarm Sound
If the antitheft system has been activated, before it is
turned off, the car horn will sound continuously. Press the
UNLOCK button on the key, the antitheft alarm will be
deactivated.
