kers

I charged my pre-Facelift MG5 Exclusive, LR, overnight (last night) and this morning, when I disconnected it from my EVSE the charge level meter showed, as expected, 100%. (When the charge was first started the meter showed less than 20% battery remaining.) In Eco mode and KERS3 I drove the...

Any one know how to remove the MODE / KERS / BATTERY toggle switch bank? What ordere things must be pulled apart to get to ti?

We're on a drive and notice that the Kers 3 isn’t working correctly. Usually it regenerates -20 but it’s only giving -7. Why could this be? Car is currently 95% charged.

Took delivery of my new MG5 Long Range not even 4 weeks ago. KERS defaults to '2' when starting the car and can only be switched to '1'. Switching from '1' to '2' or from '2' to '3' not possible. Took the car in for a repair but was told that this is the way the KERS system works for the MG5...

Hey guys, I'm trying to find the latest software version for a pre-facelift MG5. I don't have full access to OBD at the moment as my car has a bit of an identity crisis. It thinks it's a "Roewe" brand rather than an MG5 2021. My dealer admitted to not doing the software updates or safety...

Hi, I always drive using the Eco-mode and with the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) at level 3. But sometime, especially the first couple of miles, there is no (strong) motor braking. In these moments, it feels like there is a hidden clutch pedal and someone is pressing on it.. How is...

Having driven my original SR 25k miles over 2 years I often find myself musing as I drive on how the drive mode and KERS settings are actually implemented (I used to be a software engineer / system and HCI designer) If I was building it with the spec to do what it does I think I would keep it...

Hi, I just bought a new ZS EV, and loving the car so far. I have two issues, the switches for Mode, Kers and Battery only work when pressed "up". Mode starts in Normal, can go to Sport, but cant go back, neither can i with the others. Any solution for this? Also, i get notification about...

Just a general observation, we hear people driving around usually in Kers3, I usually drive around in Kers2 and normal mode, but recently for a few days was driving in Kers1 instead, I noticed the m/kwh is around .5 better on usual routes which is a mix of motorway and in town driving. Has...

Hi, is there any option to set the Deafult KERS to 1? I am doing lot of local driving and I don't want the Brakes to be worn out Quicker due to KERS on 3 all the time. also I feel driving on KERS 1 is much fun than driving on 3.

My wife bought a pre face lift MG5 LR in Dec (I own a 70 plate) When I set off I always flick the kers/mode to econ & k3, on mine it just says cannot do 3 on 100% (waited to 95%) and off I go. When I did this on my wife's it registered as 3! Took car into dealer and was with them for 2wks...

Does the break lights come on when the KERS activate ? as the vehicle slows down, warning the vehicles following you.

I've been driving an new MG5, not facelift version though, for over a month now while waiting for my ZS to be fixed of its door issues. One thing I really like in the MG5 is that the default KERS level is 2 instead of 3. Has this been carried over to the facelift MG5? Also wonder why the ZS...

Hey all Bear with me on all my questions I am getting my knowledge up to speed on the MG5 after spending month reading about my failed to arrive ZS. Am I right that MG5 facelift ACC uses kers when breaking ? Thanks

Given the discussion about the use of KERS when using Adaptive Cruise Control, can anybody confirm if MG4 uses KERS when using adaptive cruise control??

Just drove car and Kers wasn't working on any settings. I have just done first balance charge to 100% so was wondering if that could be the problem, no space for regen? Would be grateful if someone could confirm before I call the garage.

I am not sure that this is the best forum for this thread, but here goes. If anyone can suggest a better location then please let me know. I am interested in the relative merits of driving in different modes and Kers settings (MG5 SR) in relation to battery efficiency. Has any detailed research...

I know that Kers 3 is the recommended setting for stop/start motoring like in towns and Kers 1 for continuous periods of non-braking type driving like on a motorway but……..what difference does it make? Is there a difference in the mpkWh achieved or in the feel of the car when zooming on the...

I am waiting for my order to be delivered and I have been googling about the KERS. My question is; what if I continuously change the KERS level when driving? Is it going to damage the system? Let's say I am on level 1 and driving fast but I see a red light or roundabout coming, is it ok to move...
