Starting & Driving
Brake System
Foot Brake
The free stroke of brake pedal is in the range of 0
～
30mm.
For added safety, the hydraulic braking system operates
through dual circuits. If one circuit should fail, the other
will continue to function, but greater pedal pressure will
be needed, and increased brake pedal travel, and longer
stopping distances will be experienced. In the event of a
brake failure where only one circuit is operational, the car
should be brought to a halt as soon as traffic conditions
safely allow. DO NOT continue driving - seek an MG
Authorised Repairer.
Servo Assistance
The braking system is servo assisted, always be aware of
the followings during the operation:
• The servo assistance functions with the engine started
up only. Never allow the car to freewheel with the
engine turned off.
• If the engine should stop for any reason while driving,
bring the car to a halt as quickly as traffic conditions
safely allow, and do not pump the brake pedal as the
braking system will lose any remaining servo assistance.
Once the engine has stopped, it will lose any remaining
servo assistance, use suitable force to apply the brake
pedal to stop the car safely in the current traffic
conditions. Contact an MG Authorised Repairer.
• Efficiency of the brake servo booster can be affected by
engine stall or other conditions, such as the change of
barometric pressure. These conditions could result in
extra force required to operate the brake pedal to stop
the car.
Wet Conditions
Driving through water or heavy rain may adversely affect
braking efficiency. In this case, keep a safe distance from
other vehicles and intermittently apply the brake pedal to
keep the brake disc surface dry.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Your car is equipped with EBD, which, in order to maintain
braking efficiency, distributes braking forces between front
and rear wheels, under all load conditions.
EBD integrates a monitoring system.
The monitoring
system is linked to the brake system malfunction indicator
