ACC and switching off display: Excite

[wade]

MG ZS Excite 2022 Aust/NZ release

Seeking advice pls, how to:

1) Adjust ACC so that does NOT automatically slow speed at the apex of corner? I figured solution might be in MG Pilot, however have found no way to override this apparent automated (and annoying) feature.

2) Is there a way to set up the display to also switch off when power-off the vehicle? Only way I can work how to switch off the display is to lock the vehicle. Would be great if there was a way for set up the display to also power down when powering down the vehicle.

Thank you!

1) It’s a safety feature. It will automatically slow down around corner on ACC.

2) 3 ways: 1. Lock the car. 2. Push and hold home button for 5 seconds. 3. Leave it and it will automatically shut off after 10 mins.

I think this happens with a lot of cars. Teslabjorn (YouTube) picked this up in a BYD test recently. Not something I'd use.

Hmm - slowing down on bends I would not consider to be a safety feature.

In my opinion/experience (ACC slowing in corners) is more of a minor annoyance rather than an issue. Once used to the car it's easily worked around by applying a little acceleration, which doesn't disable ACC. I live in rural area where lots of winding roads. On straight roads feature isn't noticeable.
