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.

    ACC and sensors knocked out

    My ZS EV has a problem where the cruise control and, I think, all the sensor based assistance stops working until the car is restarted. The odd thing is that this takes place near the same place every time and has never happened elsewhere as if there is some sort of interference there. It...

    Speed Limiter / Cruise Control access

    Hi! Picked my MG4 up yesterday and I've done a few short journeys today. I've got a question about the cruise control and speed limit features. When I switch the car off and come back to it later, the button on the steering wheel to control cruise/limiter doesn't do anything. I need to go...

    No cruise control

    Car went to dealers to fix previous fault where radio module disconnected and now I have no cruise control. I guess that's another visit to the dealer unless the collective mind are able to offer a quick fix?

    Q - how to cancel ACC without dabbing brake

    Hi, I use ACC a lot and like it. Obviously it is set to the current speed by pushing the steering wheel symbol on the steering wheel. The previous set sped can be resumed by pushing the LH toggle up when not active. When active speed + - 5 is via toggle up / down, follow distance by...

    Cruise control

    Can one turn off the Adaptive cruise control so it is just on manual operation that can increase or decrease speed levels in increments of 1 mph instead of 5 mph and not have the radar Influence which causes problems on bends on A roads.

    Minor Annoyances…

    After a couple of weeks I’ve noted a couple of little niggles; Screen brightness: doesn’t seem to automatically dim the display in low light/night driving. Have I missed a setting to enable this? No rear interior light (SE): kids struggle to strap in at night No regen on cruise control: car...

    Help...Front Camera Lens

    Help...I thought the auto cruise control seemed a little jerky today and thought I'd check that the front camera wasn't dirty (although I think it mainly uses radar anyway). I went to wipe it and noticed that the lens on the front camera, which sticks out from the front bumper was cracked!! Not...

    Adaptive Cruise Control and regenerative braking question

    I just did my first long motorway trip in the ZSEV. I love the ACC but I notice if the car slows from say 70mph to 60mph because of traffic ahead when it stops accelerating and starts breaking you don’t get any regenerative breaking so nothing on the automatic slow down is going back into the...

    Cruise control and regenerative braking

    I have a ZS which was new last August but I have only started using cruise control recently. I have noticed that when the cruise control slows the car, because I am approaching a slower moving vehicle, there doesn’t appear to be any regeneration happening - no green light on the power side of...

    Simple cruise control

    Not a fan of the adaptive cruise control as it jerks and brakes like a bucking bronco. Is there anyway to have cruise control without the adaptive bit (ie the car maintains a set speed until you accelerate or brake). I have tried the Speed Limit Assist setting whereby you set an upper speed...

    MG Pilot vs Cruise Control + Lane Assist?

    Maybe I'm missing something but looking at the manual (don't yet have my Mk2 MG5 in the flesh). I can't see what the full MG Pilot offers on top of the functionality you get with adaptive cruise control on and lane keep assist on. Can anyone clarify please?

    Simple adaptive cruise control operation

    After a few weeks of trial and error, I have found the easiest and most effective way of using the adaptive cruise control is this: If you want to not have the car steer, but set a speed and follow the car ahead, use the adaptive cruise setting. If you want the car to steer and set the speed...

    Traffic Jam Assist vs Adaptive Cruise Control

    Hi, can someone detail the differences between Traffic Jam Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control on the ZS EV please? For me they look like the same thing. Thank you

    MG4 - Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and MG Pilot

    , Is this true (If you have both settings on)?? - the car will accelerate and decelerate in the forward direction when in ACC (Green on dash?) according to the car infront- but will it also steer (if you were on a gentle bend such as a motorway ?) - I havnt yet attempted these yet - but thought...

    MG ZS EV adaptive cruise control efficiency

    Hello, everyone. As good as the car is, the adaptive cruise control can be really improved as now it gives me 15% INCREASE of energy USAGE compared to the same distance driven without using it. And it blocks the KERS system as well, and now this is outrageous. Any ideas how to bypass this and...

    Regen braking on cruise control

    Has anyone else noticed that the regen braking does not seem to work when on cruise control? I have now seen the same thing in two HS PHEVs, so thinking that this might be a common thing. When in adaptive cruise control, the power does not go below 0 % when the car slows down. If I disengage...

    Low speed cruise control.

    A quick question regarding cruise control. My existing car, yes I’m still waiting for my MG, will only allow the cruise control to be set to 30mph or more. Is there a similar restriction on the MG Mk2 LR ?
