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.

The car can drive 100% electrically if that's what you want but you won't have any cabin heat if you choose to do that. But if you are happy to wear warm clothes and a coat when driving then this might not matter to you for only 24 kms. If you leave the temperature setting on the heater/air...

It's not something you can do yourself, at least I wouldn't risk trying to do it myself if it was even possible. MG will usually load any updates when your car is serviced.

KMC, you have an MG4, this is the PHEV forum and the PHEV doesn't have the required hardware to enable communication between the app and the car, with the exception of the Thailand model of the car which does. So no, the app will never be able to communicate with the current UK version of the car.

Actually it's only heating that needs the engine running as it needs the heat from the engine to blow warm air into the car. AC works as expected in EV mode and always has as no heat is required to generate cold air.

You can't. You have to accept it each and every time. It has to warn you every time so you can't say you weren't aware if you have an accident while playing with the gps screen while driving.
