failure cruise control, headlights and speed recognition system

[jackhill1]

I have an MG4 trophy long range. This morning, I started my car but found that my headlights were not available, then, everytime I selected speed recognision on, it kept tripping off. To cap it all, I could not activate my cruise control.
After getting to my destination I locked the car. When I returned 30 minutes later. I started the car and everything operated as it should. I was wondering if other owners have had the same problem. I have only done 1300 miles.

Condensation on the windscreen ? Anything obscuring the camera will cause it. Ice is particularly good at blocking it.

If not - sometimes - very rarely (once in a year I think) mine has done it randomly.

There is now snow in south England and car was in garage. Plus car was cleaned. The mystery was why did it clear by itself later.

I have had various combinations of error messages during my ownership of the car. It seems there is no standard boot or shutdown sequence and each system performs these independently of the others. This means if one dependent system is not in the correct state when another queries it you will get a failure message for that system.

For example if the front camera or radar system is not in a ready state when the cruise control system starts up it will flag a failure for the cruise control and probably the camera and radar systems.

Forcing the systems to restart usually cures the issue as the ready state of each system has changed.

Very interesting. It just makes you wonder each time you start, which system is false today. But will bear in mind to power off wait for short time before power on. Thanks
