    MGS5 EV Driver distracted alert

    It only happens in my MGS5 when driving in bright sunlight. I wear glasses for driving, so I assume it’s something to do with a reflection off the glasses. If you cover the sensor it tells you off for covering the sensor! I have disabled the sensor in Pilot, but that does mean that you need to...

    MGS5 EV Driver distracted alert

    Thank you very much. I also find it very annoying, particularly as when it chimes, I’m always watching the road very closely.

    MGS5 EV Driver distracted alert

    In my MGS5 EV the driver assist regarding inattention sounds when driving in bright sunlight. It picks up speed as you continue driving until the three notes run into each other. The only way to stop the continuous sound is to briefly cover the sensor. Is there any way to turn this feature off...

    DAB radio cutting out in MGS5 EV

    Thanks again for your help. My service is not due until July, so I’ll have to live with it until then along with other niggles like being told to concentrate on my driving repeatedly when driving in bright sunshine! Thanks again.

    DAB radio cutting out in MGS5 EV

    Good morning from England, thank you for your reply. Seems that it must be a software problem. We live in hope that the software update will be with us soon. I’ll keep monitoring this site for information.

    DAB radio cutting out in MGS5 EV

    The radio on my MGS5 EV randomly cuts out while driving. Sometimes it can be because I have used the brake pedal, sometimes the at just slowing down or using the windscreen wipers. Anyone else encountered this or can offer a fix/workaround?

    Long motorway round trip in MG S5EV – Update after completing the trip

    This is a really helpful post. I wish it had been posted before my first long journey in my brand new MGS5 EV In October from Hartlepool to Windsor and back. We managed ok as it happens and there are many more fast charging stations around than I thought there were before settling off. We did...

    Three Months In An S5

    Yes, I understand all that. But prior to resetting the odmeters the 100% charge was only showing a range of 165 miles, which I thought was a bit odd for a three months old car with 1500 miles on the clock. When I reset the odometers the estimated range went up to 209. It doesn’t do that mileage...

    Three Months In An S5

    On my MGS5 EV 2025 the heated wing mirrors are connected to the rear screen demister control. One thing that was a revelation to me, was that to get an accurate charge/distance display you need to zero the trip meters? On the whole, for the price, I quite like the car. Apart from the niggly...

    Apologies! I’m new to this group and haven’t quite got the hang of it yet (or the technical intricacies of the MGS5) to be honest.
