MG4 Trophy. Uk. Every now and then, my iSmart app reports that the Privacy Notice has been declined. Less than 10 seconds later, it reports Privacy Notice accepted. Without me touching anything. Don’t think this is an issue, as everything works, but just curious as to why and whether others...

I know i need to read the manual, but does eco mode affect the aircon?

Was in Normal mode. I’ll have to try eco. Use tja for the entire motorway section (over 200 miles). Very relaxing. Held the steering wheel just lightly and let the car do its thing.
