1st long trip

[gus]

Drove down to Wales today from Oxfordshire, car really handled well, no steaming up like I used to get in the ZS, even though I drove through some heavy rain without the AC on, slow traffic round Cardiff and the ACC worked well but blowed if I can find how to resume if you need to brake. Achieved 139kW at a 150kW charger.

Press up on the left stick on the steering wheel to re-engage ACC at the last speed you had set.

Fantastic, much appreciated, it was driving me crackers

I only count over 500 miles in a day as a long trip in my MG5. 625 miles is my record. ACC is great for me.

Is that for the MG5 or the MGS5 which is this forum ?

MG5, super car

You could have been nicer about it, or ignored the thread altogether if it upset you.

You have set me a challenge! In three weeks, I am doing 569 miles to Bavaria for an overnight stop, 360 miles next day to Leoben in Austria. 8 days later, Leoben to home in one go (913 miles). 4 days later, back out to Strasbourg for 7 days. Makes these 'long' trips in the UK seem rather tame! MG5 Trophy

Must admit I rarely, if ever read the manual. Much prefer to ask the folk on here. It's much easier and you get a better,
more detailed, answer.

I regularly drive across Europe. The empty fast auto routes allow really long trips. Strasbourg is a beautiful city. Drove back from there last year in a day.

A Christmas drive to Portugal in low temperatures was a challenge. Charging is slower and heating eats into the range. Had to drop under 500 miles a day due to that and getting tired in the shorter days and bad weather too.

The funny thing is I had worked it out without reference to the manual or a forum but then I have been driving for over 60 years and didn't think anybody needed to ask the question it was so obvious.
