safety

Our 2023 ZS EV has a random fault where doing normal day-to-day driving we get no issues, but if we are driving for a while like more than 40-60 minutes, the forward sensors fail, ABS and other safety features just error and turn off, We took it into the Dealership and they said they replaced...

Hopefully this isn’t just me, I had to brake really hard in a short distance as a car jumped the lights and immediately my hazards came on,I could see them flashing in the vans rear doors in front of me which was like a mirror, looked down at the dash, had I touched something, looked at dash...

I'm usually a bit dismissive of all the gadgets, but RCTB deffo prevented serious embarrassment or even injury this afternoon. I was reversing out of bay parking into the car park when a pedestrian, who had been hugging the back of the van next to me and therefore was out of sight, walked...

The system is set to brake when near to another car and I'm not pressing the brake. My MG5 was quite good at this, but I haven't had a single warning yet from the MGS5 - despite trying to provoke it. Is there aomthing that I'm missing?

My almost 1 year old MG4 did a full on emergency stop the other day. There was a pedestrian walking on the pavement and I assume the car "thought" I was going to hit the person but there was no risk at all! The stop was so severe that had there been a car behind me they would probably have...

Hi, I watched the Ch5 program the other night and I'm upset because my car would have killed the dummy man stood in the road. Do our cars not have this safety feature? If they have mine not working or not set right. If this crash feature working on your car can you tell me your settings, seems...

I today “discovered” a potential very serious safety bug with our 2 week old MGS5 - the joys of being an early adopter. Steps to recreate this problem: Drive in OPD mode - get up some speed Do a hard stop/panic stop with the brake pedal Come to a full stop then quickly take your foot off the...

Good job tapo KP115s havs thermal protection, lucky escape there. We set to 8 amps too. Never had a problem for 2 years even at max speed during the winter.

Recently noticed a notification reading that my passenger side air bag is turned off. Does anyone have an idea how to turn it on again as I have no recollection of how it was turned off. Appreciate comments

Hi everyone, I am from Kathmandu, Nepal and I am an owner of MG S5 base variant. I have driven the car for more than 1000 kms and I noticed an issue with the door safety. Even when the car is running at high speed, the door can be opened by pulling the lever once. In the previous cars I owned...

Good to see that the S5 achieved 5* in the Euro NCAP tests.

Good evening, I have a question. I live in Greece. The average temperature in the summer is between 105 F and 125 F. Can I use the car safely and if not, what should I pay attention to? My car is a MG 4 77kwh with NMC type batteries.

The Cyberster has been in my possession for a week now and I am very pleased with it. However, I have a question about the emergency hammers 🔨. These have not been given a fixed place but are loosely placed behind my back in the net. I do not consider this a safe place because you can never...

We should be getting our car on Tuesday (it was supposed to be today but that's another story) and Octopus have yet to give me a date for installation of a charger. I had intended to use a granny charger in the meantime. However, our house is 35m from the car so I'd have to use an extension...

Normally we inly charge at home but have strayed away for a break. Whilst at a fast charger we noticed a non-MG charging alongside with the driver sat in. Can we do this! Is it considered "safe practice"?

Hi everyone, I have some bad news. Last Friday night my car caught fire. While driving on the motorway I noticed excessive heat under the air vent at the foot, a few minutes later there was smoke and when I stopped within a few seconds the fire reached the dashboard. I need to know how many...

Does disabling LKA also disable Front Detection/Anti Collision. I always have LKA disabled as it is easily confused and notice that I am able to get very close to things (walls, cars and people) when moving very slowly, without any warnings.

my cyberster the mg pilot keeps defaulting back to its standard settings how do i turn it off? Even when i exit the car lock it and make sure it stays that way.

I charge and store my car in my (attached) garage. I have always garaged my cars, but never really thought too much about the fire risk. Having done a bit of research, I ordered a heat alarm for the garage, together with a linked WiFi smoke alarm, which is indoors. If either alarm detects a...

Hi is it safe to trickle charge the 12volt battery in the boot , and if so is it simply that you attach the leads to the positive and negative terminals ?
