High revs

[nicho12]

Why are the revs so high on slow speed only doing 35 miles ph 2200 revs has anybody got the answer.

At lower speeds, often the car will drive and charge at the same time, which can lead to higher revs. There is also the by now well known quirk that using MG pilot, it really is hesitant changing up a gear at higher speeds vs. not using the ACC feature.

2.200 does not seem very high. During a steady speed drive in a flat terrain it should have a bit less probably (1.6-1.8), but 2.200 can still occur in my opinion while accelerating a little or driving up the little slope. And I am not saying that just for MG, but any ICE car. Did you manage to maintain a steady speed by pedal and you had this 2.2 revs? Was it flat area? Was the ACC/Pilot on?

I was on flat road and what is ACC. Thanks.

What shows on dash when ACC in engaged.

What shows on dash when ACC in engaged.

When you press the "steering wheel" button on the steering wheel and the speed in the top left corner of the screen turns blue, ACC is active, if the steering wheel symbol below turns blue as well it means that also lane centering ("auto steer", though I'd be cautious with that term) is active.

Also, it depends what you choose in the vehicle settings under MG Pilot, you have Limiter mode (basically doesn't allow you to drive faster than a preset speed, but you are in throttle and distance control otherwise), ACC or the full mode (just forgot the acronym). I don't think there is a classic "dumb cruise control" mode available.

(PS: ACC means Active Cruise Control)

If this issue persists consistently, rather than occurring occasionally (such as during battery recharging), it may be worth consulting the dealer, as the levels should not be this high.

Mick Whats showing on the dash? If the symbol is white not blue does this mean it is not active?

 

[mick78]

Mick Whats showing on the dash is the symbol is white not blue does this mean it is not active.

Correct, if it is white, it's inactive.

 

[nicho12]

Correct, if it is white, it's inactive.

Thanks Mick that puts my mind at rest i think the high revs i get is when it is going into the top gear as we only have 3 gears.cheers mate.

Keep in mind that the ‘engine’ is also providing electrical power for other uses. For example air conditioning, fans, heated seats/steering wheel, lights, etc.
If you look at the dash power distribution display, you will see how the ‘power’ system continually monitors and controls power distribution.
This is the worst time of year, in warmer times the engine will not not be needed as much and the revs will be lower.
