Over reving on hills.

[Leigh44]

So had my new mobility MG ZS auto SE and somehow the dealership was keen for me to sign for 3 years without letting me test drive it first. With the over reving on a hill is doing my head in as never had it with my previous Toyota Corolla hybrid..OMG what have I done as got no owners manual either and told to download 136 pages from the MG Internet.. A4 paper and ink for my printer I don't think so and question I would like to ask is on the drivers screen behind steering wheel on the bottom is a small two toned box with a number 2 inside it, what's that as never changes as thought it was the 3 speed gearbox.

Firstly.

In Hindsight, (which is obviously a marvellous thing, you should have test drove it first, sod what the dealer said)
Hope you can get to like your new motor, but if you can't, you can easily change a MoBo car, for a different one. My sister got an automatic car and hated it, so swopped it for manual. It was no problem. Hope it doesn't come to that. Good luck.

The number 2 in the box isn’t the what gear your car is in but the regenerative number .
When you take you foot off the accelerator pedal your car puts electrical charge back into the battery and the number on the dash is the rating of regen 1 less 2 normal and 3 high.
Hope that helps

The MG ZS SE Hybrid..great car and very spacey inside and the dashboard is big enough so you don't strain your eyes. Comfort isn't bad although the fr9nt headrests take a little gett8ng used to but for me I can slide in and off the seat when getting in and out. I've also noticed the MG cars are getting more popular on the roads.

Coz despite the shortcomings.
Some Cars/Dealers. They are fantastic value for money.

Agreed but if we go way back to the British car industry like Leyland for example you never got air con or many other standard gadgets like we have say in the MG because you had to pay a small fortune for extras and this is what did MG and Rover and Austin to name a few.
