failure

Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. The criteria for failure depends on context, and may be relative to a particular observer or belief system. One person might consider a failure what another person considers a success, particularly in cases of direct competition or a zero-sum game. Similarly, the degree of success or failure in a situation may be differently viewed by distinct observers or participants, such that a situation that one considers to be a failure, another might consider to be a success, a qualified success or a neutral situation.
It may also be difficult or impossible to ascertain whether a situation meets criteria for failure or success due to ambiguous or ill-defined definition of those criteria. Finding useful and effective criteria, or heuristics, to judge the success or failure of a situation may itself be a significant task.

    “Battery Pack Heating System Failure” on iSmart, should I be worried?

    Just tried to start the battery heater remotely and got the above message & am mildly confused/concerned. SOC is 80% and currently not on charge (but was on charge overnight). Is this a genuine error- no faults shown on vehicle status- or should I be ringing MG up?
