emergency

An emergency is an urgent, unexpected, and usually dangerous situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, property, or environment and requires immediate action. Most emergencies require urgent intervention to prevent a worsening of the situation, although in some situations, mitigation may not be possible and agencies may only be able to offer palliative care for the aftermath.
While some emergencies are self-evident (such as a natural disaster that threatens many lives), many smaller incidents require that an observer (or affected party) decide whether it qualifies as an emergency.
The precise definition of an emergency, the agencies involved and the procedures used, vary by jurisdiction, and this is usually set by the government, whose agencies (emergency services) are responsible for emergency planning and management.

    Frozen Charging Port Door? (Flap)

    Mods, I know there are plenty of Charging Flap related Debacles, but I've started afresh as I haven't seen this information before. Please move, if this has been covered elsewhere. After last year's faffing and Charging Flap related shenanigans, I got my hair off last night when it wouldn't...

    Emergency Stop!!!

    [ Moderator: Moved from the MG3 Hybrid+ forum. ] Was travelling to our local Tesco store this morning and as we were approaching a side street a car was coming to the junction not fast enough for me to think it wasn't going to stop but fast enough for my car to think it wasn't going to stop...

    Emergency key

    Has anyone tried to open the drivers door with the emergency key in the key fob, I'm laying my car up for 3month and want to disconnect the battery. To re-enter the car you use the emergency key but it seems awfully stiff

    V2L question

    I am due to have a scheduled power out at home, so intend using my V2L to provide some comfort. I have a V2L adapter and have tested that it works, however, I cannot find in the manual an answer to a simple question; can I run V2L without leaving the car "powered up" eg lights on etc? Does...

    V2L is pumping water from House

    Recently, for the first time, I made good use of the V2L function when I connected a pump to my MG ZS EV and pumped water from a flooded house in Opava, Czech Republic, where there were severe floods. There's no electricity anywhere in the area, so you can only use your own energy source. Some...

    Emergency Braking required

    We have just done a road trip south (well most things are south for us) and on our way to Inverness, along a road we know pretty well, we pass a four way junction that needs caution. A little way after that, there is a road to one side that also needs care as people may be waiting for a while...

    Stuck in France (nearly)!

    So we’re on a long road trip through France at the moment. Everything has been brilliant with the car and rapid charging is much much cheaper than in the UK. Today, however, panic set in when all of a sudden the car wouldn’t charge from any AC or DC charger. I eventually worked out that the...

    Weird clunk

    Very odd one…. Driving along one day at around 25mph I got the most unnerving clunk with weird almost split second loss of power. It sounded mechanical like an auto box banging into gear or really short harsh change. No warning but thought it may have been the emergency thing whacking the...

    Poor emergency stop

    I failed to stop when entering a roundabout behind a driver who changed their mind suddenly. I'm confident that I would have stopped in my last BMW and my wife's Polo, but my MG4 didn’t seem to assist at all, if anything the brakes went a bit spongy. Isn’t it supposed to do emergency stops, even...

    Emergency services call out button.

    Does anyone else think the emergency services call out button above your head ( central / windscreen ) should maybe be a big red button that says "DO NOT PUSH EXCEPT IN AN EMERGENCY" in big letters?

Yesterday, our mechanic was on a trip when the EV's brakes locked up taking the car from 60 to 0kph in a second (emergency braking?) He reported no apparent reason for the auto-braking and...

    Emergency key missing in one fob. Mark1

    Rapid Charger bricked my Mark1 ZS again, lots of fault lights on dash, couldn't unlock the doors. Apparently 12 V battery was drained in the fault. It turns out the fob I was carrying doesn't have an emergency key. 100 odd miles away from home, where the other fob was sat, turns out does have...
