Does anybody know how to stop MGZS EV from (creeping whilst in traffic) only way I can stop is to keep the break fully pressed, or switch to neutral

If you switch on the auto brake button (down beside the handbrake button) then you dont have to keep you foot on the brake when you stop. It will hold the car in traffic and just lightly press the accelerator to start moving again. it should also show an A in a green circle on the display when its engaged\using it.

Thank you, auto brake button works perfectly

Auto Brake Button does the job perfectly, no more "creep"
 
It's a very useful feature but there are two downsides to the autohold on our Gen 1 ZS EV. It's too slow to release at T junctions and the car can suddenly start moving if your right foot so much as looks at the accelerator. 'Creep' is better when parking in tight spaces too.

With you on that one. (y)
I don't understand where I am supposed to put my right foot when it's switched on, dangle it in the air, hover it above the accelerator or the brake, being careful not to touch either ?
It's much easier to just hold the brake pedal down or put it in "P" IMO.

Can't you rest it on the brake pedal?

I have got a new car yesterday and the hold button doesn’t seem to work when I press
 
As said use the automatic traffic assist function (activate cruise control then pull the stalk towards you twice). You’ll need to touch the throttle peddle to move off when the car in front moves and it will do the rest itself (including steering).

I thought the whole point of Traffic Jam assist was that you didn't have to touch the accelerator pedal to move off ? :unsure:

There's a time limit on it. After 10 seconds or so, the car will apply the auto hold and alert you to touch the accelerator when the car in front moves forward.

Thanks, I've only used it once and the traffic was moving slowly and never stopped for as long as 10 seconds.
 
I never understood the point of auto-hold. If I'm at an intersection, I just keep my foot on the brake. It's not like you have to push very hard to hold the car. And in a traffic jam, the traffic jam assist works well. So I have auto hold disabled permanently.
