    MG HS Essence Sound System

    Before going to the expense of changing speakers, there's a setting you can adjust called 3D sound where the options are front, or front and rear, or off. That might improve the sound in the back so try that first.

    Charging Phev battery

    Because the battery in the HS PHEV doesn't support fast or rapid charging, charging it to 100% is fine and driving it down to 0% is also fine. The battery will never be totally empty even though it may show 0% as the car keeps some in reserve. Fully electric vehicles (BEVs) recommend only...

    Mg phev full charge mileage shown

    31-32 miles seems to be the standard EV range for the PHEV in the UK. The Australia/New Zealand version must have a slightly bigger battery. The standard electric range with a full charge for us is 62km, approx 38.5 miles.

    EV mode keeps dropping out on MG HS PHEV

    Braking, i.e. putting your foot on the brake pedal does not in itself recharge the battery, in fact it would decrease the amount of charge going back to the battery because you are manually slowing the car down using the brake pads rather than allowing the car to decelerate on its own...

    Ambient Light and MG Pilot

    Your English is very good, no need to say sorry. The MG Pilot system is covered in pages 237 to 241 of the English manual but you probably have the German manual so search the index for MG Pilot, it may be around the same page numbers as the english one. Basically MG pilot is a group of...

    Headlights

    Have you tried the headlamp levelling adjustment setting as on pages 51 and 52 of the manual? I have mine set on level 0 and I find the headlights perfectly fine.

    Extension lead?

    Yes you can. The domestic mains power supply in Australia is 240V AC, 50Hz. Standard 3-pin earthed power outlets are rated at 10 amps, so as long as your extension cord can handle 10 amps there's no problem. I'm in Australia too and have been doing that for over a year. The extension cord does...

    HS: Is there an "autopilot" system?

    Not like Tesla does, no. The HS PHEV has a system called "MG Pilot" but this is not auto pilot. See page 237 of the user manual, it explains what MG Pilot does: The assistant technology used in the MG Pilot system cannot replace the driver’s judgment on the road and traffic conditions. The...

    Connection to the car computer

    The Thailand cars have a sim card in them. Other countries versions do not. The sim card is needed for the app to connect. No sim card, no app, simple as that.

    Heater thoughts

    Of course. That's why the HS PHEV is so cheap to buy. If it had all the bells and whistles that other electric cars have then it would cost a lot more to buy one than it currently does.

    Miles to go after fill up...

    The range is only an estimate based on your recent driving style. For example, if you have been recently driving using the ICE in stop start traffic or at slower vehicle speeds, you'd be using lower gears more often, therefore higher engine revs per minute (rpm) so the car would estimate a...

    Lost main display info

    As with most electronic devices, if you turn them off and on again by disconnecting the power they seem to work better. Disconnect the 12 volt battery for 15 minutes and reconnect it, that will reset everything. I've also heard if you reset the infotainment system that fixes certain issues -...

    Economy driving on a long journey

    EV stands for electric vehicle mode, it simply means driving on battery power. It's what you do when not running the petrol engine, so you use EV mode when you push the EV button down near the gear selector. I mentioned in post 7 that fast charging is not possible with the PHEV so I think...

    Economy driving on a long journey

    No fast charging is possible with the MG PHEV. The PHEV can only accept up to 3.6kw charge so the 16.6kwh battery will take a minimum of over 4.5 hours to charge from 0%. The car is capable of driving with 0% battery power so you don't have to charge it for the return journey. 0% electric...

    Economy driving on a long journey

    If you have unlimited funds and you don't care about the price of petrol then by all means use those settings but they will charge your battery from the petrol engine and you will use a LOT of petrol to do this. Medium setting will charge the battery up to approx. 50%. High will charge it to...

    Warning indicators

    For your first question, that appears when the cars camera detects a speed limit sign but is unable to read it correctly. This usually happens when there is additional writing, such as Slow or School below the actual speed limit sign. See page 45 of the manual. For your second question, you...
