Q1. Electric assistance is only provided to the ICE when there's any strain on the petrol engine, i.e. when accelerating or going up a hill. If you're driving on a flat road at speed, then the car won't use the electric motor at all, it will rely on the ICE only. If your speed drops below...

The iSmart app is not compatible with pre 2025 models of the HS PHEV. The car does not have the required hardware, with the exception of the model sold in Thailand.

No the app isn't compatible with the 2022 model.

Your petrol gauge is working fine, that's normal for it to do that. The range is only a guess based on your current style of driving. Your range showing of 430 km is based on your recent driving style. If you now go and drive 120kmh on a freeway that range will obviously decrease rapidly as...

This is normal. Even in default mode the battery will very slowly charge if you are driving constantly regardless of speed and not in stop-start traffic. You can see this if you switch to the hybrid screen while driving, you will see the amps go into negative values that means charge is going...

Regenerative braking does put a very small amount of charge back into the battery when you are braking, i.e. coasting without touching the accelerator, but you're only braking for a few seconds when going down a hill or slowing down to come to a corner for example. so the amount that goes back...

You probably should check it then, it only takes a minute. Then you'll know if they really did reset the date.

What does your next service date show as? That error would occur if it was in the past.

It simply means that your car is past due for a service. Book it in for one.

Pressing and holding the unlock button on the key remote for more than 5 seconds will open all the windows and sunroof. If someone was playing with the remote or it was in your pocket and you "sat" on the open button for over 5 seconds then that would cause everything to open.

No. you can't use the petrol engine and the electric motors at the same time As soon as you push the EV button to switch to electric mode the petrol engine will shut down, and it won't even allow you to switch to EV mode if the heater is running. The best you could do is drive on petrol for a...

Below the screen and centre vents there are 7 piano keys. The 3rd one has a picture of a house on it, i.e. a home. That's the home key.

Try a reset by holding down the home key for a good 20-30 seconds. When the screen reboots the MG logo should appear so release the home key when that happens. If that fails then the other option is to disconnect the 12V car battery temporarily, a minute or two should do it, then reconnect.

Since you say it's next to the Bluetooth symbol then it's probably the Bluetooth signal. I have never seen that symbol but I don't use Bluetooth so that's the logical explanation for that.
