cruise control

Cruise control (also known as speed control, cruise command, autocruise, or tempomat) is a system that automatically controls the speed of an automobile. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the throttle of the car to maintain a steady speed as set by the driver.

    Does the Cyberster use regenerative braking when in Adaptive Cruise Control?

    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?

    Hi, newbie with a question.

    Hi, just joined today so thanks for having me. Just bought a MG HS PHEV ex demo last week and have discovered a couple of puzzles that I cannot sort out in my head. 1. All the adverts/reviews state that you can expect about 75 miles on EV mode when charged to 100% however when my car is at...

    Cruise Control Speed Discrepancy After Tyre Change on MG3 Hybrid+

    Hi everyone, I own an MG3 Hybrid+ and recently changed all four tyres (for a set of 4 seasons with exact same dimensions). Since then, I’ve noticed something odd with the cruise control. When I set the cruise control to 50 km/h, the speedometer shows 51 or 52 km/h. At higher speed the...

    Adaptive Cruise Control Failure Warning

    I tend to use ACC to stick to speed limits but today I was behind a big rig cab that was being towed. Those things are towed by the back wheels so what was in front of me was the oncoming cab of a truck. I could understand if it couldn't identify the vehicle on the display screen but it showed...

    Cruise control downhill

    Has anyone else noticed that when in cruise control going downhill the Cyberster isn’t able to just smoothly stay at the set speed. It seems to have to frequently make slight speed adjustments which are noticeable. It isn’t due to adaptive cruise as no car in front. You are conscious of the...

    Dealership refused update?

    Hi. So I took my MG4 to a dealership today to get the latest software update (I'm now on R63) and whilst there I asked them if they could also update my cruise control software because I'm sick of the car slowing down like crazy around the slightest bend... they refused to do it tho saying they...

    Can't use cruise control in Custom Drive Mode

    Does anyone know why the Cyberster doesn't allow the use of ACC Cruise Control when using the Custom Drive mode? Is this common on all MGs?

    Cruise Control

    Went on motorway this morning and tried cruise control, all fine until starting to go on a slight incline then the car started to slow down from setting 60mph to 50mph. At this stage i took it off Anyone experienced this?

    Cruise control

    I do not like adaptive cruise control. Urgh, how do I get normal cruise control where you just turn on and increase the spread or decrease the speed yourself

    "please take control of vehicle"

    Driving my MG4 Trophy home from Kent, I got the message "please take control of vehicle" in red on display twice. Both times I was driving in cruise control, OPD, lane keep assist disabled, on a dual carriageway when the message flashed up and the car dramatically lost speed as it dropped out of...

    Adaptive Cruise Control - Braking either on or off?

    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...

    Combining dynamic cruise control and traffic sign recognition

    I think it would be a game changer for MG if the Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) systems worked together to automatically adjust speed in response to changing traffic signs. Integrating these two systems would significantly enhance driver convenience and safety...

    Cruise control

    Can anyone explain, in simple terms, how to operate adaptive cruise control. I know what it does, but the actual operation as explained in the manual is very long-winded. By the time I get to another section I've forgotten the first.

    Active cruise control not that good

    I tried it out yesterday for the first time on 50 limit dual carriageway, it was fine and adjusted it's speed well, I did get a bit nervous when we came to the island at the end and had the brake covered but it slowed down well enough, the next bit was a 40 limit so I left it to fend for itself...

    Cruise Control Steering Wheel Stiff

    Hi, I searched in the forum and couldn't find the answer to this. For mg MG4 Trophy EV, the steering wheel appears stiff when on Adaptive Cruise Control. What I mean by stiff is if you're trying to re-align the car in the lane and move the steering wheel slightly, the steering wheel is very...

    Adaptive Cruise Control issues after update

    Several software updates were performed during my MG4 SE LR first service in April. I now notice that the ACC function is behaving differently. It appears as if switching on ACC is now also enabling LKA, with the associated unpleasant steering nudges. Anyone else seeing this? One of my...

    Loss of cruise control and collision warning

    When travelling to Edinburgh on the M90 near the turn off for Kinross B977 I lose my cruise control and collision warning. This has happened on the last 6 journeys whether travelling north or south. The car resets itself after about 2mls. The loss seems to coincide with passing a phone /...

    Cruise Control not disengaging

    On 3 occasions now, I've nudged the Cruise Control lever forward, the way I tend to disengage ACC, but it's taken up to 10 seconds before it's actually disengaged! By that I mean the car carries on at the speed set (70mph), without slowing down, despite going slightly up hill. Also, the...

    Cruise Control Not Working

    First motorway trip in the new car and I always use cruise control through the many 50mph zones. However nothing happened when I pressed the button on the steering wheel. Would this be related to my start-up habit of deactivating ELK & FCA? I tried turning them back on (whilst driving) but...
