brake

A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction.

    Accelerator pedal stuck down!

    On my way to work I accelerated at a roundabout, not especially hard and quickly realised it was continuing to accelerate despite me not wanting to. I was able to use the brake but every time I took my foot off the brake it accelerated alarmingly quickly. I should point out I didn't have any...

    Can I adjust the pedal position/location?

    Hi. I'm in Australia, and had a test drive here. For me, one of the most disappointing things was the pedal location. The brake and the accelerator are both in the middle. Does anyone know if I can move the pedal to further right? I was keep pressing down the empty space on the right side of...

    I used the parking brake !!

    Having had the car for 2 years and a ZS EV before that for a year I had never used the parking brake switch on either car until this last weekend. :) I had always found the footbrake, Autohold and Park to cover all my needs for holding the car when stopped. However for some reason sat at lights...

    PARKING BRAKE FAILS TO RELEASE

    Good Afternoon. I have a 2022 HS that covered approx 15000 kilometres. The park brake engages automatically when the ignition is switched off and normally disengages when brake button is pressed down. This morning, the brake did not release and I had to put the car into Drive and press the...

    Mk2 brake lights flashing every few seconds

    I was following a mk2 today on a 40mph road for several minutes. When there were no other cars infront (potentially activating its adaptive cruise control), it’s brake lights very briefly flashed on roughly every 5 seconds. It would've been very interesting if I’d have been able to ask them...

    Reverse Delay

    If I put the car in reverse and take my foot off the brake, it takes 3-4 seconds before the car will start moving backwards. However if something is within range of the parking sensors then it will start moving instantly as the brake is released. Is this normal behaviour?

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    My wife was scared sh**less this morning when her MG4 Trophy did a sudden and totally inappropriate emergency stop, whilst travelling at 30mph through a quiet nearby village. A Tesla was following at a safe distance and fortunately no collision took place. The car was then ok to drive away...

    Electronic Diff Lock

    Hi, I'm looking at the MG EV. Coming from a Suzuki S-Cross Allgrip, and living in a rural location, moving back to 2 wheel drive is one significant downside. I wondered if the MG has any form of cross-axle traction transfer capabilities? Many vehicles will apply the brake to the slipping wheel...
