Lane assist in MG4 and Driving EVs in Europe

[DonCMTrophy]

Hi…I have just bought the MG4 Trophy after owning the MG5 EV
Delighted with both cars, but, the MG4 had to have a re-boot after experiencing software problems. Would like to know how to permanently turn off lane change assist and lane keep assist? Also, can anyone share their experience of driving in Europe because I would like to take the car to Holland

I thought I'd post some details on LKA as I see a lot of people wondering why it's on by default, why MG wont turn it off and why some cars do turn it off permanently. LKA is an ADAS feature made for one reason; NCAP points. The NCAP test cases are well defined scenarios that the car has to...

Just make sure you have a decent RFID card for foreign travel, eg Electroverse and Shell Recharge. Also, consider Tesla app. I believe all the Tesla superchargers in Holland are open to all.

Also, MGUK confirmed to me that you do not need headlamp deflectors to drive overseas.

Isn’t there a setting can be changed?
In my born it’s literally one button press in the settings to change the headlights to LHD.

There’s no switch. MGUK say the lights are flat beam and need no adjustment

Agreed but the nearside beam is adjusted a little higher than the offside so it illuminates the pavement which doesn't help abroad.

Before you go shine the lights against a wall and lower the nearside beam until it's level with the offside making a note of how many turns it took so it can be adjusted back on your return.

Or swap them once you are over there

The MG4 has flat beam headlights so they do not need to be changed or need deflector.

The MG4 Has flat-beam headlights so no need for deflectors or adjustments to drive in Europe

Agreed but has previously been said the nearside beam is a little higher than the offside wich may cause approaching cars in Europe to be blinded although in practice I haven't been stopped in my previous cars when I've forgotten the beam deflectors.

As Ian has already said, there's a difference between "not required" and "optimum pattern".
