are restrained in an MG Pover - approved rear tacing child seat in
an outer rear seating position.
All intant and child restraint systems are designed to be secured in
the car by means ot a standard seat belt.
When installing and using any intant or child restraint system,
alvays tollov the manutacturer's instructions. lailure to properly
secure the child restraint system can endanger the child in a

HOW 1HL AIRBAG SRS OPLRA1LS
In the event ot a collision, the airbag control unit monitors the rate
ot deceleration or acceleration induced by the collision, to
determine vhether the airbag(s, should be deployed.
Operation ot the airbag SPS is dependent entirely on the rate at
vhich the car's passenger compartment changes speed as a result ot
a collision. 1he circumstances attecting ditterent collisions (vehicle
speed, angle ot impact, type and size ot object hit, tor example,,
vary considerably and vill attect the rate ot acceleration or
deceleration accordingly.
It tollovs, theretore, that signiticant superticial damage can occur
vithout the airbags deploying or, conversely, that a relatively small
amount ot structural damage may cause the airbags to be deployed.
In the case ot a severe trontal collision, both airbags and seat belt
pre-tensioners vill be deployed.
NOTE· lhe air|a¸ :P: is not oesi¸neo to operate as a resuit of rear
coiiisions, minor frontai or sioe impacts, or if the car o:erturns, nor uiii it

ihe seai as far lack as is praciical.
Airbag intlation is virtually instantaneous and occurs vith
considerable torce, accompanied by a loud noise. 1he intlated bag,
together vith the seat belt restraint system, limit the movement ot
a tront seat occupant, thereby reducing the risk ot injury to the
head and upper torso.
NOTE· ¬fter infiation, some air|a¸ components are hot · D· ^·l

When an airbag intlates, a tine povder is released. 1his is not an

Operation ot the air conditioning system places an extra load on
the engine. In very hot conditions, or vhen the engine is required
to vork unusually hard (climbing long hills or driving in congested
trattic, tor example,, this could result in high engine temperatures.
It the pointer nears the PLD zone ot the temperature gauge,
svitch ott the air conditioning until the engine temperature
returns to normal.
1o help cool the engine, the air conditioning tans may continue

In conditions ot high humidity, slight screen misting may be
experienced vhen the air conditioning system is svitched on. 1his
is a natural occurrence on most automotive air conditioning
systems. It is not a tault, misting vill clear atter a tev seconds once
the air conditioning system is operating.
Maintaining the air conditioning
1he air conditioning system is sealed and major maintenance
should only be carried out by a qualitied technician. 1o maintain
the system in peak condition hovever, ovners should ensure that
the system is operated tor a short period every veek (even during
the cold vinter months,, vith the engine at its normal operating
temperature, run the air conditioning tor at least ten minutes vhile
driving at a steady speed.
Surplus vater, produced by the dehumiditying process, is expelled
trom the system via drain tubes beneath the car. 1his may result in
a small pool ot vater torming on the road vhen the car is
stationary and is not a cause tor concern.

Reducing hunidity
Air conditioning reduces moisture trom the air and can be used to
demist vindovs quickly in damp veather. Lsed in conjunction
vith the heater, it also makes the interior ot the car varm and dry.
1his setting is ideal tor most driving conditions, vhen the outside

1he MG Pover 1ratticmaster Alert System provides up-to-the-
minute trattic intormation trom a netvork ot more than 7,000
transmitters covering over 8,000 miles ot trunk roads and
motorvays in the Lnited Kingdom (does not include Northern
Ireland,. 1he intormation is displayed automatically on the car's
digital clock vhenever it is received.
Receiving the first transnission
When the starter svitch is turned on, the digital display shovs the
normal clock display only. 1ratticmaster displays vill not appear
until the car is vithin range ot a 1ratticmaster transmitter.
Once the car has entered the 1ratticmaster netvork, a tvo-
dimensional road symbol vill appear alongside the clock display. It
no trattic congestion has been detected, the symbol vill appear in
outline torm only.
It the initial 1ratticmaster display indicates trattic congestion, one
segment ot the road symbol vill illuminate and road´junction
numbers also appear. Initially, this intormation could apply to
congestion on either carriagevay (or in either direction, and,
theretore, may not be relevant to your journey. Not until the car
is vithin range ot a second transmitter vill the system be able to
establish the car's direction ot travel and thereby restrict congestion
messages to those relevant to the direction ot your journey
(ignoring congestion in the opposite direction and to the rear,.
Operaiing parameiers
 1rattic congestion intormation is gathered trom vithin a tive-
mile radius on adjoining roads and a tventy-mile horizon ahead
ot the car (or 2 junctions ahead on motorvays, vhichever is the
sooner,. Note that these ranges are reduced to 3 and 7 miles
respectively vithin the M23.
 Congestion intormation is only transmitted once trattic tlov
has dropped belov 30 mph in any one single direction on the
surrounding road netvork. A lover speed ot 20 mph applies
inside the M23. HB0640

PRO1LC1ING 1HL LNVIRONMLN1
Lnvironmental issues are increasingly intluencing our lives, and the
motor car is sometimes seen as a major source ot air pollution.
In a great many respects, hovever, criticism ot the car and its
manutacturer is misplaced, tor tev industries have done more to
reduce pollution than the motor industry. MG Pover is no
exception. Your car has been designed vith the latest technology
in order to minimise the environmental impact ot exhaust
emissions. Lven so, any turther reduction in emissions is in
everyone's interest and, to this end, there are a number ot vays in
vhich you, the ovner, can also make a contribution.
Starting the engine
Although it is a common perception that cars should be varmed
up` betore being driven, this is not the case.
1he majority ot poisonous emissions are produced immediately
tolloving a cold start and in the period vhile the engine is
varming up. Because the car varms up much taster vhile it is
being driven, it is less harmtul to the environment to drive avay
immediately atter starting rather than to allov the engine to idle.
Driving style
1he vay in vhich you drive your car has a signiticant bearing on
environmental pollution, as vell as attecting the amount ot tuel
you use:
 Aroiá full ihroiile acceleraiion
Steady, rather than rapid, acceleration uses considerably less
tuel, reduces exhaust pollutants and also minimises the vear to
mechanical components.
 Aroiá áriring ai maximum speeá
luel consumption, exhaust emissions and noise levels all
increase signiticantly at high speeds. lor example, travelling at
60 mph (100 km´h, uses up to 20 per cent less tuel than driving
at 70 mph (112 km´h,.
 Do noi árire in a lou gear for longer ihan necessary
Driving in lover gears uses more tuel and creates more noise.
Change up to a higher gear as soon as possible, provided it does
NO1 cause the engine to labour.
 Drire smooihly
Anticipating obstructions and sloving dovn vell in advance,
avoids the need tor unnecessary acceleration and harsh braking.
A smooth driving style not only reduces tuel consumption, but
can reduce the emission ot poisonous gases by tvo thirds or
more.
 8uiich off ihe engine uhen uaiiing in iraffic
When it is obvious that the car vill be stationary tor several
minutes or more, and provided it is sate to do so, svitch ott the
engine. 1he impact on the environment ot starting the engine
again vill be less than the ettect ot alloving the engine to idle
tor 43 seconds or more.

Maintenance
 Hare ihe car regularly serriceá
Pegular servicing trom a qualitied technician vill ensure
optimum tuel economy and minimise exhaust pollutants, as
vell as ettectively extending the service lite ot the car.
 Check ihe iyre pressures regularly
Lnder-intlated tyres increase the rolling resistance ot the car
vhich, in turn, increases tuel consumption. Over or under-
intlated tyres vear out more rapidly and also have a detrimental
ettect on the car's handling characteristics.
 Do noi carry unnecessary loaás
1he additional veight ot unnecessary loads vastes tuel,
especially in stop´start conditions vhere the car is trequently
required to set ott trom stationary.
 Remore roof racks
1he additional air resistance created by root racks and carriers
increase drag and vaste tuel (an unladen root rack can increase
tuel consumption by as much as 2 mpg (0.3 l´100km,.

lor example, under light loads LBD applies less ettort to the rear
brakes in order to maintain vehicle stability, hovever it the car is
heavily laden or toving, then more ettort vill be applied to the
rear brakes.
1he LBD system incorporates a monitoring system, vhich checks
that all electrical components are in vorking order vhen the
starter svitch is turned on and also at trequent intervals vhile the
car is being driven. 1he LBD monitoring system is linked to the

Padio Peception
RADIO RLCLP1ION
Distortion, interterence and lack ot signal clarity, are otten
attributed to a tault in the radio - this is rarely the case.
Problems ot this kind are usually caused by phenomena such as
atmospheric conditions, signal strength, hilly terrain, tall buildings,
bridges and even electrical interterence trom pover lines.
Please renenber: A car radio receives signals vhile the vehicle
is in motion (unlike a domestic set, - constantly changing direction
and moving avay trom, or nearer to, the transmitter vhilst
negotiating terrain vith videly dittering reception characteristics.
Some interterence is to be expected trom time to time.
lM transmitters can only broadcast over a limited range and good,
clear signals vill only be received in the immediate area ot the
transmitter. When travelling, it may be necessary to re-tune the
radio trom time to time, to ottset the ettects ot moving trom one
transmitter area to another.
While PDS automatic retuning eases this problem, some manual
retuning may still be needed (especially tor local stations, in areas
ot veak reception.
1he broadcast range tor good stereo reception (usually vithin a 30
to 63 km radius ot the transmitter, is noticeably less than it is tor
mono.
lM Signals (like light vaves, travel in a straight line, so large
obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the car trom the signal
causing distortion or loss ot reception (knovn as dead spots,.
Distortion can also occur it lM signals received directly trom the
transmitter mix vith signals vhich have been retlected by
obstructions such as mountains, hills and tall buildings (this is
knovn as multi-path distortion,.

incorreci pressure.
Alvays drive vith consideration tor the condition ot the tyres, and
regularly inspect the tread and side valls tor any sign ot distortion
(bulges,, cuts or vear.
1he most common causes ot tyre tailure are:
 Bumping against kerbs
 Driving over deep potholes in the road
 Driving vith under or over-intlated tyres
NOTE· If possi|ie, protect t¸res from contamination |¸ oii, ¸rease, fuei
ano other automoti:e fiuios.
1yre pressures
Correctly intlated tyres vill ensure that you enjoy the best
combination ot tyre lite, ride comtort, tuel economy and road
handling.
Lnder-intlated tyres vear more rapidly, can seriously attect the
car's road handling characteristics and tuel consumption, as vell as
increasing the risk ot tyre tailure. Over-intlated tyres give a harsher
ride, vear unevenly and are more prone to damage.
Check the pressures (including the spare vheel*, at least every
veek, vhen the tyres are cold - be avare that it only takes a mile
(1.6 km, ot driving to varm up the tyres sutticiently to attect the
tyre pressures.
Air pressure naturally increases in varm tyres, it it is necessary to
check the tyres vhen they are varm (atter the car has been driven
tor a vhile,, you should expect the pressures to have increased
betveen 4 and 6 lbtín

. In this circumstance, NLVLP let air out
ot the tyres in order to match the recommended pressures.
1he recommended pressures tor cold tyres, see lYPL

Keep the valve caps screved dovn tirmly - they prevent dirt trom
entering the valve. Check the valve tor leaks (listen tor a tell-tale

into the tread pattern at several points around the circumterence.
When the tread has vorn dovn to 1.6 mm, the indicators vill
come to the surtace ot the tread pattern, producing the ettect ot a
continuous band ot rubber across the vidth ot the tyre.

1he indicators provide varning that there is insutticient tread
remaining to provide good traction, particularly on vet roads, and
that the tyres no longer comply vith legislation requiring a
minimum tread depth ot 1.6 mm.
lor satety, a tyre MLS1 be replaced as soon as a vear indicator
becomes visible.
Punctured tyres
Your car is titted vith tubeless tyres, vhich may not leak it
penetrated by a sharp object, provided the object remains in the
tyre. It you are avare ot this occurring, reduce speed immediately
and drive vith caution until the spare vheel* can be titted or
repairs undertaken.
A puncture ot this kind vill eventually cause the tyre to lose
pressure, vhich is vhy regular (and trequent, checking ot tyre
pressures is important. Punctured or damaged tyres must be
permanently repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
