braking

When the OPD is active, a dull knocking sound is heard from underneath, proportional to the rotation speed, when stopping and starting slowly. It is not heard at normal speeds, nor is it heard in normal regen modes. Is this normal when the OPD is active, or is there a problem? The vehicle is...

I find that having regenerative braking enabled is very dangerous in this car. Its efficiency slowing the car depends on how much battery is full. If it is full, it will not slow down the car and i find my self in panic when it does that. If I let go gas peddal I would expect that it will always...

Does anyone else think that the Pilot could do better? Whilst it is amazing in traffic jams at really low speeds staying within lane. It really struggles at cruse speeds. 1. Inconsistent curves. Whilst some are OK, on some it slows really aggressively. It's not even regen, braking is so hard...

My trusty old trainers have finally been consigned to the tip and replaced with a new different pair which have thicker soles , better grip and spongier insoles. Much better for walking, but this is not a walking forum , in the car I have much less feel on the pedals and whilst braking is not...

I noticed something today I have not seen before, I noticed in the reflection of the car in front of me, that when I braked to stop at lights my front hazards/indicators flashed. Is this normal? No indication on internal displays I just noticed other threads on this after I posted so it seems...

The system is set to brake when near to another car and I'm not pressing the brake. My MG5 was quite good at this, but I haven't had a single warning yet from the MGS5 - despite trying to provoke it. Is there aomthing that I'm missing?

Morning All! 10 days into my HS PHEV owning journey and generally I'm loving the car though still finding my way around the various MG Pilot features. I can't figure out if I'm missing something or if my car has a fault with it's Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Active Emergency Braking...

I asked MG Customer service whether the regeneration strength resets to low every time you restart the car (was I missing a setting) and if so were they considering upgrading the software to correct this. The response was "It is recommended that you take your vehicle to a MG dealership for a...

New MGS5 How do you save preferences? Want to set regenerative braking to strong (as in my ZS), adjust in 'settings' but doesn't save when I exit. Must be a save button or something somewhere? Also want to darken the main screen - as it stands, not very legible for nav section. Can't...

I just went to write a post and noticed this has already been discussed regarding the HS PHEV (see link), but thought I’d post this anyway in case any MGS5 drivers notice the same/have any information on it: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/indicators-flashing-when-stopping-in-traffic.21884/

Hi, I watched the Ch5 program the other night and I'm upset because my car would have killed the dummy man stood in the road. Do our cars not have this safety feature? If they have mine not working or not set right. If this crash feature working on your car can you tell me your settings, seems...

I read in another MG thread that other MG EVs do not use regenerative braking when in Adaptive Cruise Control, does this apply to the Cyberster?

Hastings YouDrive cancelled my policy citing a low score for “harsh braking and acceleration,” despite my MG4’s minimal use and my long accident-free history. This system uses a tracker that links to a smartphone app to observe your driving. The MG4’s braking and torque characteristics explain...

Mrs S has been gadding about while I've been holed up in the hospital. Heartless bugger. She even went out to one of our regular scofferies without me. Anyhow, she had another slam-on scare where His Lordship jammed on the anchors as he thought she was going to crash into some parked cars she...

Like some others I run Towing mode all the time, my understanding is that one of its functions is to disable the radar and camera to some degree, in which case when I use A in the regen settings again which I do all the time, how is this operating ? or is it just defaulting to a level 2 regen...

I've been reading about the brakes on an electric vehicle, some complaints about rusting pads and discs due to regenerative braking, is it possible to put gear selector in neutral to polish the rust back off the pads and discs?

Wanted to change default 2 setting for the regenerative breaking to setting 1 and it does work well for a single journey. Unfortunately it appears to always default back to 2 on end of journey so has to be reset back if you want to continue to use the 1 setting. Called dealer who advises there...

Hi, my dealer did some updates for me including the 1 kp/h ACC update. But ACC is still doing some hard brakes and and save different space between cars at complete stop. There is a fix for that? Maybe there is another module to update? I heard that the "1 kph update" is only cosmetic? Maybe...

I've rarely had the opportunity (or motivation) to use ACC but a recent longish trip on fairly fast straightish highways seemed like a good time to try it again. Sadly, despite an OTA firmware update and a 20,000 km service earlier this year I found that it seems incapable of the kind of...

Has anyone else had an issue with the MG4 suddenly braking when a car was coming in the opposite direction? I found it quite scary!
