Said this before, but here goes again.
The manual for the car states clearly that the LKA may function incorrectly on a road with poor lane markings, or with no markings at all, where it may latch on to a rut or something like that and steer the car in an unwanted direction. That's fair warning! It then goes on to say that in that situation it should be turned off IMMEDIATELY. Bold type and italics and so on. Again, fair warning.
The problem is that it's impossible to do this. Tap on the car icon. Tap on MG Pilot. Tap on the actual deactivate button. Then tap on "yes of course I'm sure you bloody moron!" All with your left hand stretched away from the steering wheel, and having to look carefully at the infotainment screen to make sure you tap the right bit. Which can be kind of hard in a moving car. In a moving car which is actively trying to steer you into the ditch it's downright suicidal.
In order to avoid encountering this scenario, the only recourse is to turn the damn LKA off when you start the car. Routinely. Thus absolutely negating any safety advantage it might offer on better roads.
The answer is to provide a physical one-button off/on switch for the LKA that can be accessed quickly and easily if the thing is playing up. The two volume switches on the centre console are a waste of space because everybody controls the stereo volume from the right joystick. Programme one to switch the LKA off, and the other to switch the fog lights on (the other situation where you have to stab at a touchscreen in a very awkward position to do something you have to do while driving), and we'd be sorted.
buttons on the wheel, on all models.
) Then you shouldn't be driving.
