•Ifanycablesonthevehicleareexposed,inordertopreventelectricshockorevendeathDONOTmakeanycontact
with any cable.
•Ifthevehiclecatchesre,andthereissmallandslow,acarbondioxideextinguishercanbeusedtoextinguishthe
re,andcontactthereservicesassoonaspossible;ifthereislargeandspreadingquickly,immediatelyevacuate

Overview
1. This vehicle is a battery electric vehicle,
and some of its operations and charac-
teristics are different from those of tra-
ditional fuel vehicles. Therefore, please
read this Manual carefully before using
this vehicle.
2. This vehicle is driven by electric energy.
It is equipped with two batteries. One is
the traction battery, which is located un-
der the vehicle chassis to provide driving
power for the vehicle. The other is an or-
dinary 12V automotive battery, located in
the front compartment, which provides
power for instruments, lamps, and corre-
sponding control modules.
3. The traction battery must be charged
with 230V alternating current (i.e. gen-
eral household power supply). When
charging the traction battery with house-
hold alternating current, ensure that all
wires, ports and plugs on the charging
line are rated at a load of not less than
16A (>3.6KW).
Be sure to have a professional electrician
to install the charging circuit for you. The
charging circuit must be grounded cor-
rectly and the main switch and leakage
protection device must be installed.
4. The orange cable in this vehicle is a high
voltage cable. Do not touch it. Please pay
special attention to the warning signs
posted on the shells of highvoltage com-
ponents.
5. Do not leave electric components
switched on when not in READY mode,
this may cause the battery to become flat,
resulting in the failure of the ability to set
vehicle into READY mode and the reduc-
tion of battery life.
6. The vehicle will mainly consume the pow-
er from the traction battery after it en-
ters the “READY” state (the “READY”
indicator on), and the lamps and the air
conditioner can be normally used for a
long time. The traction battery begins to
charge the 12V battery.
Precaution
After vehicle delivery, please fully charge
the traction battery to 100% in time
before the power is lower than 30% to
maintain the traction battery.
Notes
1. There is high voltage (HV) and low
voltage (LV) electrical equipment
in the vehicle. The LV electrical
equipment, including instruments,
audio system, lamps, horns, blowers,
etc.,hasaratedoperatingvoltageof
12V.
 Thehigh-voltageelectricalequipment
includes a drive motor, a motor
controller, a traction battery pack, a
charging distribution unit (CDU), an
A/Ccompressor,anA/Cheater,etc.
2. Please pay attention to the relevant
warning labels on the high-voltage
components. To avoid electric
shock, do not touch high-voltage
components,high-voltagecables,and
their connectors.
Preface

3. Donottouchanyexposedordamaged
orangeHVcable.Otherwise,youmay
beexposedtoariskofelectricshock.
4. Do not disassemble or modify the
electrical equipment in the vehicle.
Otherwise, you may cause serious
consequences such as short circuit,
burningandre.
5. In case of vehicle accident: If time
permits,turnoffthepowersupplyof
thevehicle,pullupthe handbrake,
turn on the hazard warning lamp,
placea trianglewarning sign,get off
the vehicle and contact the service
center immediately. If time does not
permit,suchaswhenthevehicleison
re or gives out strong burnt smell,
please turn off the vehicle power
immediately and pull up the hand
braketoescapefromthevehicle.
6. If the re is serious or develops
rapidly, immediately stay away from
the vehicle and call the re alarm.
Otherwise, use a water-based re
extinguisher to put out the re and
keep a safe distance from the re
source.
7. If you need to replace the traction
battery,pleasehandovertheoldone
to a MG authorized service center.
Discarded traction batteries will
pollute the environment and even
causeinjury.
8. Thetractionbattery’swarrantyperiod
is 8 years or 120,000 km (whichever
comesrst).MGwillrepairorreplace
it free of charge.
9. Whenthepowerbaroftheinstrument
cluster turns red, it indicates that
the traction battery is low. Charge it
as soon as possible. Otherwise, the
service life of the traction battery
may be shortened. Charge the battery
fully at least once every two weeks for
maintenance when the vehicle is in
use. If you won’t drive your vehicle for
a long time, charge or discharge the
tractionbatterytoabout60%power.
To extend the service life of the
traction battery, it is recommended to
charge the traction battery once every
month.
Danger
Do not modify the charging port or
charging equipment. Otherwise, charging
faults or even fire may occur.
Danger
Do not disassemble the lithium ion traction
battery pack without authorization,
or even disassemble the lithium ion
traction battery pack. When dealing with
accidents, relevant professionals shall
not cut or impact the lithiumion traction
battery pack, to prevent it from leaking
and deforming, and thus injuring any one.
