Possible MG ZS EV Parking Aid System Fault

[Andrew Sinclair]

Before about a week or so ago, whenever I put the vehicle into reverse I heard a short beep followed by no sound until the rear of the vehicle was in proximity to an obstruction.

However, now when I put the vehicle in reverse the sound is continuous irrespective of proximity.

I have cleaned the sensors but no change in behaviour.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the cause and solution?

Thanks

Andrew

I haven't seen anything specific for this car but on my other (ICE) car it means there is a system fault.

If it is a system fault, grab a 10mm spanner . . .

What version of the system software are you running?

You can find this out in the infotainment in the Options > System page. Looking for the infotainment software version starts with SWI17 and ends with 1300R**.

Pretty sure there's a R19/R22 version available. Might be worth speaking to your dealer about software updates for your car as the sensors are powered by the infotainment system.

Thanks, I’ll make enquiries.

Why would the fault have started a week or so ago when the software hasn’t been updated within the last 10 months?

Possibly a bug that's linked to a file somewhere in the management system that's a expired file driver/certificate and that's why they've suddenly gone wonky on you as the file recently expired as the developers anticipated that a update would be done within that time frame that would recertify the file concerned.

What model of ZS do you have?
