lane assist
In road-transport terminology, a lane departure warning system (LDWS) is a mechanism designed to warn the driver when the vehicle begins to move out of its lane (unless a turn signal is on in that direction) on freeways and arterial roads. These systems are designed to minimize accidents by addressing the main causes of collisions: driver error, distractions and drowsiness. In 2009 the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began studying whether to mandate lane departure warning systems and frontal collision warning systems on automobiles.There are four types of systems:
Lane departure warning (LDW): Systems which warn the driver if the vehicle is leaving its lane with visual, audible, and/or vibration warnings
Lane keeping assist (LKA/LKS): Systems which warn the driver and, with no response, automatically take steps to ensure the vehicle stays in its lane
Lane centering assist (LCA): Systems which assist in oversteering, keeping the car centered in the lane, and asking the driver to take over in challenging situations
Automated lane keeping systems (ALKS): Designed to follow lane markings with no human driver.Another system is the emergency lane keeping (ELK). The emergency lane keeping applies correction to a vehicle which drift beyond a solid lane marking.
So I was in my local MY dealer's on Tuesday , and was advised that there was a recall on the MG4. It was a Lane Assist recall and they did the upgrade there and then. I don't use Lane Assist at all; indeed I turn it off each time I get into the car, but I wondered if you all have had the same...
My MG4 Excite 51 was purchased in Australia in Jan 2025. Built July 2024 with all software updates. If Lane keeping assistance is disabled and confirmed upon pressing the brake (to engage gear) LKA is immediately reactivated. I have to engage Drive before deactivating LKA. If the car is stopped...
I'm having the PD052 update applied in a week - the over-revving is still occuring but I manage it better with heating down and more controlled driving.
But before I take it for the update I wonder if any of you have had any issues with lane assist.
I've driven the car 2 months and on a few...
After almost 2,000km in our new MG4, I have now realised that turning off a number of the "safety" features is best for me. One of them is lane departure assist. However, I have noticed that, even if I turn OFF LDA prior to my moving, (and the blue "on" marker turns to grey), LDA will appear as...
I have read lots of forums about MG4 lane assist too aggressive etc. But i seem to have the opposite issue mine hardly ever initiates so on the dashboard the lka symbol mostly stays white and rarely goes green. If it does work it might only go green for a few seconds. This happens on good roads...
This just came up on my Google feed. Looks like an LKA update will be rolling out at some point:
One of UK's top EVs has a 'potentially dangerous' issue, warns Which? One of UK's top EVs has a 'potentially dangerous' issue, warns Which?

The good part is MG commented that they are waiting for a free software upgrade to be released to...
1. I have the latest update with lane assist, at first I thought this was better because it was smoother and I let it steer for me occasionally nudging the wheel to encourage it not to send me a warning. Great on motorways, however, try the same on D restrictions and it is very uncomfortable, it...
Hi, apologies if this has already been asked, ive seen a lot of people complaining about the lane assist. Ive just got my new car and had the journey from hell driving home with it turned on. I have since turned it off, but is this something i have to do everytime i use the car?
I’m at my wits end with the lane assist (LKA) in my new MG4. The service department accept it’s an issue with no fix at present (other than turn it off) and have had 100’s of complaints about it.
I think it’s unreasonable to expect my wife and daughters to remember to turn it off each time they...
I have an MG4 EV LR and would like to stop fighting with the lane assist, can you help to maintain this love affair with MaGgie and tell me how to turn it off. Thanks.
Hi. I bought a 2022 MG ZS EV luxury long range a month ago, and have noticed a yellow warning triangle above the lane assist symbol. Does anyone know what this means?
Thanks!
Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone else has experiences this and if so what the solution or result was!
I have an MG4 Long Range Trophy, about a month old. Twice now I have had the following alert symbols on the dash:
Forward collision assistance system
Lane assist system
Traffic jam assist...
There are many posts here and references in reviews regarding the Lane Assist function and how drivers turn it off every time they use the car. The secondary gripe to this is that the car forgets the changed setting each time you use the car. Some say the amnesia is due to the Euro NCAP system...
Orange Trophy collected this morning to replace an E208.
Need to dig into the various functions etc but had the lane keep assist kick in on the way home and the Peugeot was harsher (although it has a hard disable button).
Now to stick all the AliExpress stuff on it to minimise the damage mini...
Hi,
I was looking for some advice. Just over a week ago I got a new MG 4 trophy.
I have enjoying it but wanted some advice on a couple of things.
Firstly how do I permanently disable the lane assist.
Secondly, not sure if this a software problem. Multiple my car keeps coming up with multiple...
A couple of times now, when driving down the motorway, the car suddenly tries to veer into the next lane. As if it suddenly thinks I am straddling a line. Luckily it only just starts crossing the line into the next lane before it gives up. This allows me to correct before I hit anyone. But...
I have had my MG4 EV for approximately 4 weeks (2,000 miles and counting!) and my lane assist is most definitely trying to kill me!
Leaving it in emergency lane assist is asking for an accident, the car reacts so violently that you can quite easily end up in a different lane, or off the road...
A lot of people are asking, can you turn off the Lane Assist,
As far as I know if you have a accident and the LA is turned off your insurance company may use it as an excuse not to pay up.
I think on the MG4 you can reduce the sensitivity.
