The orange light in the switch shows if the system is 'on' and the green 'P' in the dashboard shows when the brake is engaged. I haven't experienced the same problem but I have noticed the system automatically switches off/won't switch on if the driver's seatbelt is unfastened or the driver's...

Mine does this when I've plugged in but before charging starts. ?

I use the Podpoint timer through the app and have the car timer turned off. Works perfectly every time. ?

If you wait, the four dashes should be replaced by an estimated charging time when fast charging (up to 7kw). From memory, I don't think it displays a time if you are rapid charging with CCS. ?

Yes if you peer through the driver door window... It also comes on for a couple of minutes if, for example, you open the boot and then close it again. The 1st gen ZS had a software update to allow it to charge with the doors unlocked so your car might need the BMS updating if unlocking is...

Is the car definitely starting the charge? There are two ways to physically check - the driver display (which usually tells you your speed) and the white led lights in the MG badge, which start pulsing.

Yes, unfortunately facelift KERs is pretty poor, even when compared to the 1st gen: generally weaker in Level 3 still no regen with acc zero regen when fully charged on the facelift - the 1st gen would simulate KERs at 100% so the system remained predictable to use no regen from friction...

If cruise control does not work it's much quicker to test the rear wiper - it, also will not work if the boot isn't closed properly! My boot issue was solved on the day it started - I worked out it was the false floor handle preventing proper closure when in the raised position. ?

The facelift infotainment system is better in every respect - bigger and clearer screen, more responsive. The i-Smart app is surprisingly reliable and functional. The HVAC controls work well with their own dedicated screen and new climate control. The difference with the LED headlights is...

Is it a new car? There is a problem with the false floor handle dropping forward onto the boot lip - this will stop it closing correctly - just weigh it down for a few weeks until it flops the other way. ?

Congratulations on your new purchase, I hope you have many enjoyable miles behind the wheel! 1. AFAIK the plastic prongs in the floor slot straight into the holes on the mat, then you rotate them to lock in place. 2. The audio source is a bit random - mine jumps from android auto to Bluetooth...

I suppose it's a matter of preference - I'd rather have KERS predictable whatever the state of charge - which it was on the old car.

My views on the facelift Trophy SR after a month of ownership and after 12 months with a 1st gen Exclusive. Pros Lighter steering around town (eco) and generally a more refined, quieter drive. Infotainment system is much improved - fast, responsive, although still has its quirks! (see below)...

I was having this problem when I first picked up the new SR Trophy. It was the new fabric handle of the false floor resting on the boot lip and stopping the lid closing fully, put something heavy on it for a few days so now it 'flops' the other way. No problems since! ??
