Introduction
The Owner’s Handbook
This handbook describes all of the vehicles
and standard equipment specification within
the model range. Some of the information
therefore, may not apply to your particular
car.

ries concerning the operation or specification
of your car, your MG Authorised Repairer
will be glad to advise you.

Instructions for Use of Electric
Vehicle
Effects of Ambient Temperature
The working performance of the high-
voltage battery pack fitted to your vehicle
is related to the ambient temperature. This
battery powers the vehicle power system
and therefore it is recommended that where
possible the vehicle should be used within
the temperature range of -15 to 45°C. This
will ensure that the vehicle is in the optimum
working state, and help extend the service life
of the high-voltage battery pack. Extremely
high or low temperatures will affect the
performance of the high-voltage battery pack
and vehicle.
Preface

5
Instructions for High Voltage
Battery Pack Recycling
The high-voltage battery pack fitted to
your vehicle contains several lithium based
battery cells. It is installed centrally to the
motor-vehicle chassis. Arbitrary disposal
may cause pollution, hazard and damage
to the environment. The high-voltage
battery pack MUST be recycled by an MG
Authorised Repairer or a professional
approved dismantling agent. Please refer to
the following information and requirements.
• ONLY qualified personnel should work
with the high voltage system - there is
danger of DEATH.
• High voltage safety: the high voltage
system fitted to your vehicle features
a HV battery containing high voltage
components such as lithium battery packs
and high voltage wiring harness; DO
NOT attempt to dismantle any area of
this system, suitably trained professional
staff must observe insulation safety
protection before working on or near
the high voltage system.
• Transportation: The high-voltage battery
pack is classed as a Category 9 hazardous
material and must be transported
by vehicles qualified in transporting
Category 9 hazardous materials.
• Storage: All HV components (including
batteries) should be stored at room
temperature and in a dry environment.
They must be kept away from dangerous
sources, such as flammable objects, heat
and water sources.
• Internal composition: The high-
voltage battery pack consists of lithium
batteries (pack), PCB, HV and normal
electric wiring, metal casing and other
components. It is strongly recommended
that the used high-voltage battery pack
generated from vehicle scrappage or any
other reasons should be disposed of by
an MG Authorised Repairer.
Note: If you decide not to use the
recommended MG Authorised Repairer
to dispose of your high voltage battery,
theresponsibility oftheconsequences of
environmentalpollutionoraccidentsmust
be bourne by the owner.
Preface

6
Driving Range
The driving range of your vehicle depends on
the HV battery condition, quantity of available
electricity, vehicle age (current remaining
battery life), weather, temperature, road
conditions and driving habit etc.
The range can be affected by other electrical
loads (such as A/C, lights etc), driving style
and general road conditions.
It should be noted that:
• The driving range is related to the rate
of discharge. In order to avoid a high
rate of discharge from affecting the
performance of the high-voltage battery
pack, it is recommended that the vehicle
is connected to a suitable charger upon
illumination of the low battery warning
lamp in the instrument pack.
• The actual driving range of the vehicle
will reduce with the increase of vehicle
age.
• The use of A/C will reduce the driving
range.
• The driving range varies at different
speeds.
• At low temperatures, the driving range
will be reduced due to temperature
characteristics of the battery during use.
• In some instances of extreme
temperatures and low battery voltage,
you may experience insufficient
acceleration or power reduction. This is
due to battery characteristics.
To help increase the range of the vehicle
please observe the following:
• Have the vehicle regularly maintained as
per service schedule.
• Always ensure the tyre pressures are
correct.
• Try and use the vehicle between the
recommended ambient temperatures.
• Do not park or store the vehicle for long
periods with a low state of charge, where
possible charge the vehicle as soon as
possible prior to storage.
• Remove unnecessary articles to reduce
the vehicle load.
• Use of high power consuming systems
such as A/C and heating will use large
amounts of power. This will reduce the
driving range.
• At a high speed, where possible, close the
windows to reduce wind resistance and
power consumption.
• Try to maintain a steady speed at all
times, avoid constant acceleration and
braking.
• During acceleration, apply the accelerator
pedal as gently as possible.
• During deceleration, release the
accelerator pedal; under certain
conditions when not applying the brake
or gently applying the brake, the energy
regeneration system (KERS) will assist in
charging the HV battery and extend the
driving range.
Preface

7
Equalisation Charging
In order to assist in extending the service
life of the high voltage battery pack it is
recommended that an equalisation charge is
carried out at regular intervals.
Please see “Equalisation Charging” in the
“Starting & Driving” section.
Intelligent Charging
The 12V battery SOC is constantly
monitored, when the Start/Stop switch is
in the OFF position it is possible, under
certain conditions, that the HV battery will
automatically charge the 12V battery to
ensure the vehicle starts. This function will
activate and switch off automatically.
Note:Thesystemwillsuspendintelligent
chargingifafaultispresent,whenstarting
or the vehicle is being charged by an
external device.
Note: The driving range will be reduced
after intelligent charging.
Note: The intelligent charging function is
suspendedwhenthehighvoltagebattery
is in a low SOC.
Crash Outage Control
If a crash or serious impact occurs, a signal
from the SDM (Airbag Control Module)
will disconnect the relays within the battery
management system isolating the high voltage
battery from the systems on the vehicle.
Preface

8
High Voltage System
• The high voltage system used on your
vehicle features AC and DC voltages
up to about 438V. All high voltage
components have warning labels attached
- please observe these warnings and any
requirements when operating within or
close to these areas.
• ONLY qualified personnel should work
on, or with, the high voltage system -
there is danger of DEATH.
The high voltage system component layout is shown below:
1 High Voltage Battery (ESS)
2 Electric Heater
3 Electric Drive Transmission
4 Manual Service Disconnect (MSD)
5 Electric A/C Compressor
6 Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
7 High Voltage Harness
8 Charging Port
9 Combined Charging Unit (CCU)
