Exactly. Safety bodies have absolutely no business ignoring important considerations that hVe been known about for many decades.
It does!
Stick some goggle eyes facing it, that should fool it
Sooo helpful, thank you! Just managed to do that in my new HS. Phew!
I have found that if you look away from the straight ahead position at all !.
instantly !.
is an absolute NO - NO as it will throw up the “Buy a Costa” coffee cup 
️ on the screen, it’s far too sensitive imho and very distracting when you are driving.
when you slow to an almost stop, at a junction / roundabout but if you are on the motorway it will drive you mad !.
That's interesting - my new HS PHEV doesn't have this facility. Maybe there'll be a software update.
My brother has a new Volvo EV and his car was doing the same thing, it was his reactolite glasses causing the problem.
Have to say Timothy this is the most unrelaxed drive I have experienced in my 5 EVs. You never know what the blasted car is going to throw at you next! I have turned off nearly every safety feature now just for a quiet drive. Going to be an interesting conversation with the dealer next week but I have to be honest having had another look around and I can't find anything even a couple years old that compares to the MG value for money on the S5 other than a 2nd hand Tesla Model Y and I will never go there due to a certain Mr Musk and his behaviour.
snap, I have X-tra Active Transitions so they darken in the car.
You can switch all the unwanted alarms off, and save your settings, so it's not worth dumping the car for.
I know thats an option but having come from Hyundai where the safety systems were useful and gave very few false alarms it feels like I am downgrading in terms of safety. I wonder where we would stand on insurance too with everything turned off by choice if something serious did happen, could the insurance company tell and would it degrade the NCAP rating with them off?
Be grateful you didn't buy a Kia, most of the annoying beeps and warnings cannot be turned off at all on the EV3 etc.
thats not good...the Kona was always easy as two buttons on the steering wheel but then it was 4 years old when I changed for the MGS5 so probably different now on Kia/Hyundai.
That was probably caused by condensation in front of the camera at the top of the screen behind the rear view mirror. As you drove down the road the condensation cleared.
The MGS5 has to meet the latest stricter NCAP requirements to get its 5 stars whereas your Hyundai had to meet the less strict requirements from a few years ago from when that model was first released.
Thanks Ian, with it being vision based with no lidar/radar that makes sense. Next week when I leave choir I will check to see if it is covered or not before I set off. The Kona meeting older standards also makes sense.
Took the car out tonight and got the limited forward assist function. Pulled over and wiped the windscreen camera area and by the time I got back in the car the warnings had gone.
Thanks John. It's getting used to MG's quirks and remembering they are still a relatively new manufacturer. I have a slight advantage as I previously had a MG4.
