Battery bar colour

[DixieTGS]

you can read warning messages by going to the tyre pressure page and then scrolling down. I’ve read somewhere someone was frustrated with not being able to read messages after they’ve popped up briefly.

If you see a message popup but can't find it in that list, I think it means the error condition has already cleared completely and can ignored. The eSOS fault that many used to get used to do this.

Mine just went amber with a warning to charge the battery. The voice has been saying “battery low, please charge soon” since 21% soc though.

Edit; just sitting stationary waiting for the missus to run an errand and pressing buttons, but I didn’t realise you can read warning messages by going to the tyre pressure page and then scrolling down. I’ve read somewhere someone was frustrated with not being able to read messages after they’ve popped up briefly.

Yes, but only if the message still pops up with, for many of them, the yellow triangle.

I've never seen it "turn" orange; I've only ever seen the bar "start" orange, with no explanation as to why. It'll stay that colour for the duration of the journey, and be the usual green when the car is restarted.

That actually sounds reasonable, but obviously it doesn't work consistently.

Well, it does 'work' consistently as the vast majority of cars are working in exactly that way. There will always be a tiny minority of cars with some issues, mostly very minor or often a misunderstanding by the user.

I don't know how many thousands of colours make up the screen matrix , but there are lots of glitches in the software make up as we are all aware. The green colour is made up of blue/ yellow maybe with a touch of red , perhaps one of the glitches is that the blue element is not turned on leaving the bar orange. Perhaps orange is a default colour for low battery warning which some get, and the blue ,on/off switch , to turn it green is faulty ( glitchy ) meaning there is a random disparity in what is displayed and reported here.
In short green is the default colour with the blue element turned off at lower battery percentages , but because it is what it is , this may be random and and possibly classed as a characteristic or personality of each individual car.

Now sure how much we can rely on this, it was an AI generated explanation. I don't know where it found its data.

Green:
Indicates a healthy battery and a sufficient state of charge, or that the battery is actively charging or discharging.

Orange:
Suggests that the battery is not charging, there might be a charging system issue, or the battery is low. It's also been reported that the orange indicator can appear when the 12V battery is being topped up by the DC-DC converter.

Red:
Indicates a serious problem with the battery or the charging system, such as a critically low battery level or a fault.

It ,It I'm not an It, cheeky burger.
It was a guess based on the randomness of the perceived problem.
Can I ask where you found the information for your explanation , although that would sound like a logical state of how it should perform its not borne out by any MG literature I can find or consistently reported posts here.

AI is only based on data accessed over the internet and that data is entered by people and people are often wrong/have an agenda/ enter wrong data on purpose/guessing/what they heard/etc/etc

The media are overhyping AI as it gets readers witnout understanding the basics of the 'tech'.
