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.

    Adaptive Cruise Control Default Distance

    Hi all, Sorry if covered elsewhere, I did do some searching, but couldn’t find it on the forums or in the manual. Is there a way to change the default distance on the ACC to be the minimum? When driving on a motorway it seems to be too harsh. Someone pulls in front and then it goes down to...

    ZS EV Adaptive Cruise Control

    I recently took delivery of a ZS EV and noticed that the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) was inoperative. No matter what I did I could not get the ACC to engage. After reading through the owners manual it appears there is a logic connection between the Traction Control System (TCS), the Stability...

    Anyone feels cruise control is sticking way too close to car on front?

    I have been doing some longer drives and enjoy cruise control but I keep feeling that if car on front of me slammed the breaks my car would no chance of stopping. Maybe because I'm used to human reflexes and feel like I need about 2/3more space to safly stop at 70 mph. Maybe cruise control will...

    Cruise control question

    Does cruise control use regenerative braking to control speed? I have not seen power drop in negatives like I normally see with KERS when regularly driving so I'm not sure. Have anyone done ant testing is cruise control better for efficiency on a long drive or is manual control better?

    Adaptive cruise control

    Checked out the adaptive cruise control today, glad I had my seatbelt on, it worked, maybe not as fast as I would have liked but that might have been in the settings.

    Using Cruise Control

    Hi guys, I've never used cruise control in any vehicle before but decided to try it out on my ZS EV last week. I was driving along an A road with a 50 mph speed limit which was a bit bendy at times but nothing that bendy to necessitate not driving at the speed limit. While driving along this...

    MG EV cruise control handling

    I am considering bying an MG EV ZS. However, I am a hughe user of cruise control (al roads, all trafic) used to control it from the steering wheel. I am wondering how comfortable it is with this MG seperate handle. Any experience?

    Adaptive cruise control (ACC) behaving badly? Check your number plate.

    Update as of 27 December 2021: if you're having issues with ACC, check how your front number plate is installed; it could be blocking the radar - see post #17 below. Original post: Hi all, First post from a happy new MG ZS EV owner. I'd love to hear about your experience with adaptive cruise...

    Cruise control 1 mph increment/decrement

    Hi All, New MG5LR owner here. Moved over from e-golf. I do like to use the cruise control, especially as a significant portion of my travel is often in 50 zones with average speed cameras. I can't seem to find a way to increment or decrement the set speed by 1mph. Moving the stalk up and...

    Cruise control - not smooth

    Hello everyone, New MG ZS EV Exclusive owner here in #Teamwhite - had it since the 31st July and went away on holiday 2 days later so only really been driving it for the past week or so. I had the windows tinted before I picked it up as I didn't like the clear windows! I have come out of a...

    Throttle control instead of cruise control.

    Whilst driving on motorways, I often use cruise control. But I think I’d like to be able to set the power use instead. For instance, set the power at 10, if I’m at a speed I’m happy with, then I’ll obviously go a bit slower up hill and faster downhill. I’d also like to be able to set it to zero...

    Regen and Active Cruise Control

    Has anyone noticed that when you use ACC, you don't get any negative values on the power meter, I can't say for sure, but that implies that it is not using the KERS for regen. However going down a hill, or when someone pulls into the space, you can feel it pull back, but still no negative power...

    Range when using adaptive cruise control or MG Pilot

    Is it just me, or is the car way less efficent when using the cruise control or MG Pilot? I seem to be able to drive the car far more efficently "manually". Don't get me wrong, both systems work incredibly well, though it is still a little disconcerting.

    Cruise control does use regen!

    I know there have been discussions on the cruise control not using regen on the ZS, but today I found out regen is used! I was going down a hill with the ACC set to 20MPH and the car started to gain momentum over the set speed. Changing the KERS mode increased or decreased the braking action of...

    Weird feeling/noise slow down at 30 cruise control

    Anyone else had this? Twice today, had cruise control on at 30mph, happily going along - no car in front etc. Suddenly the car starts slowing down with a weird almost grinding noise for a couple of seconds. A bit like a not in gear properly noise but not quite a bad as that. A lot louder than...
