460V. All high voltage components have
warning labels attached - please observe
these warnings and any requirements
when operating within or close to these
areas.

Instructions If An Accident Occurs
• Ensure the vehicle is in P, the parking brake is applied and the vehicle power system is OFF
• 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 fire, and the fire is small and slow, a carbon dioxide extinguisher can be used
to extinguish the fire, and contact the fire department as soon as possible; if the fire is large and
spreading quickly, immediately evacuate the vehicle and contact the fire department immediately.
• If the vehicle is involved in a collision and cannot be re-started, the master safety switch (MSD) MUST
be disconnected prior to rescue.
• When the vehicle is completely or partially immersed in water, switch off the vehicle power system
and evacuate the car immediately. The master safety switch (MSD) MUST be disconnected prior to
rescue or as soon as the vehicle is refloated/removed from the water. Observe the water/vehicle for
any abnormal signs such as excessive bubbles or noises, this may indicate battery short circuit issues, if
no signs are evident there should not be a shock risk from the bodywork and recovery can commence.
• If your car is being recovered by an independent recovery agent, please contact MG Authorised
Repairer for maintenance.
• The vehicle is supplied with a rescue information card (in the glove box). Please show the card to the
rescue personnel when they arrive.
