Starting and Driving
Brake System
Foot Brake
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 qualified assistance.
Servo Assistance
The braking system is servo assisted, always be aware of
the following:
• Never allow the car to freewheel with the engine turned
off.
• When the engine is off and is towed with four wheels
on the ground, be careful. During driving, if the engine
is off, the vehicle should be stopped as soon as possible
with traffic safety conditions permitted, and the brake
pedal should not be depressed repeatedly, so as to
prevent the loss of the vacuum booster force in the
brake system.
• Once the engine is off and the vacuum booster in
the brake system is used up, depress the brake pedal
with a great force to stop the vehicle with the traffic
safety conditions permitted. Contact MG Authorised
Repairer to ask for repair as soon as possible.
• 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.
