THE OWNER'S HANDBOOK
This handbook describes all of the MG Rover models and standard equipment specifications within the model range. Some of the information, therefore, may not apply to your particular car. For your convenience, the handbook is divided into subject or activity-based sections. These are listed on the previous page and are mostly self-explanatory. However, if you experience difficulty in locating a specific item or piece of information, you should consult the alphabetical index near the back of the book.
You should also be aware that the final (Service History) section of this handbook is, in effect, a separate publication, which enables a record to be kept of the routine services and inspections carried out on the car. This section also provides a facility for the dealer to record brake fluid and coolant changes, and the fitting of any major replacement components needed during the life of the car.
Finally, always remember that if you have any queries, concerning the operation or specification of your car, your MG Rover dealer will be glad to advise you.
Mislock
If the direction indicator lights fail to flash three times when the alarm is armed, this indicates that a door or other aperture is not fully closed, in which case the alarm system will still be armed and the engine immobilised, but interior space protection* will not have been activated. Once the open door or aperture is closed, the direction indicators will flash three times to confirm that the alarm system has rearmed.
If the direction indicators still fail to flash, even though all door, luggage compartment and bonnet apertures are closed, this indicates a fault with the alarm system and you should contact your dealer. Once armed, the alarm will sound if the taildoor, bonnet or any door is opened.
Anti-theft alarm indicator light
After locking, the RED indicator light on the instrument panel flashes rapidly while the alarm system is arming itself. After 10 seconds, the indicator light adjusts to a slower frequency, and continues flashing as an anti-theft deterrent until such time as the alarm is disarmed.
