Starting & Driving
Catalytic Converter
Exhaust temperatures can be extremely high,
do not park on ground where combustible
materials such as dry grass or leaves could
come into contact with the exhaust system
- in dry weather a fire could result.
The exhaust system incorporates a catalytic converter,
which convert poisonous exhaust emissions from the
engine into environmentally less harmful gases.
Catalytic converters are easily damaged through improper
use, particularly if the wrong fuel is used.
Please observe the following precautions to minimise the
chance of accidental damage.
Fuel
• Use ONLY fuel recommended for your car.
• Never allow the car to run out of fuel, this could cause
serious damage to the fuel system.
Starting
When driving, you should pay attention to the following
points:
• Do not continue to operate the starter after a few failed
attempts, seek MG Authorised Repairer.
• Do not operate the starter if an engine misfire is
suspected and do not attempt to clear a misfire by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
• Do not attempt to push or tow start the car.
