I have had an MG5 LR since the middle of October and absolutely love it. However, it seems to have a very annoying habit of switching the Speed Information Warning back ON, even though I've switched it off in the Car settings. I can find no rhyme or reason for why it does it and the dealer can offer no reason either. There seems to be no logic to it. I first thought that it was after charging, but I've checked it and it doesn't seem to be the case. It appears to come back on at random. I just want it to stay OFF when I've set it like that, as I find the flashing speed limit sign on the driver display quite distracting. Has anyone else had this problem or ( hopefully) found a solution? Thanks.
Yeah, there are some minor annoyances like that. Some things hold their settings, some things turn back on automatically, and some turn off. The theory is that it's 'safety features' that turn back on, but the speed limiter (speed assist) function completely switches off and needs to be reactivated in infotainment every time, whereas if I were to turn on the Lane Keep Assist and activate it, when the missus gets in the car the next day it'll stay on and active and start unexpectedly steering for her at 37mph potentially causing an accident.
I think MG are seriously missing a 'user experience' person on their development team. The sort of person who would say "I have a nice blue button for LKA and Speed Assist, so they should remember their settings and start up in 'standby' with the same settings as last time."
That person would also say things like:
-"That's a pretty graphic and all, but I know the headlights have come on because the headlight indicator has come on and the world has got brighter. I don't need the full screen display to tell me that - it's blocking what I actually want to see"
-"You have designed a wonderful way to show what speed the 'speed assist' function is set to without taking over the whole screen. Why, for the love of god, did you not use that for ACC as well?"
-"I put the console on x display (probably digital speed) because that's what I want it on that. Stop changing it to something else - or if you really must, then change it back when you're done"
-"Seriously, this speed camera recognition thing is a cool feature and all, but its not stable. It's wrong half the time and can't recognise 20 signs on the 5LR to the point of crashing intelligent speed assist. It's just an unnecessary distraction for the driver so let me switch it off and leave it off."
There's a little too much "ohh, that would be cool" and not enough thought on how people will want to use it.
. I'm sure I saw something in the menus somewhere, different %ages for town and motorway
. Customers don't seem worried at all.
