Stupid, stupid, stupid

You'd be away a very long time indeed before that happened.

I find the lights don't come on in fog or rain, so I turn them on manually. Every other car I've owned turnes everything off when switched off (ie locked in our case) but the MG4 doesn't.

HERE IS MY SOLUTION

I usually put the car (and house) key into the small net under the arm rest as I drive. As soon as I manually override the lights to on, I grab the keys and put them in the glove box.

When i park I look for the keys, remember they're in the glovebox, and also why, and turn the lights off.

So maybe putting the keys in a different place when you turn the lights on would work, eg the glove box, centre console arm rest box etc. However I know where @Rolfe keeps her key, and I'm not sure of the solution for her!

All I do is lock the car all lights go out

Yes but that only works if the lights are in auto mode; it doesn't work if you have switched the lights on manually, ie auto lights is inactive.

It does bong if you get out and leave the lights on manual, the problem is that the bong occurs as you're shutting the door or after you've shut the door if you get out quickly and you don't always hear it.

My 2022 ZS LR bongs as soon as you open the door. ?

Yes my old 2020 ZS used to ,probably connected to the door open sensor, but the 4 seems to be connected to when you get out of the seat.

The MG4 bongs also but it’s THE SAME BONG that everything else uses. It’s so irritating. So easy to miss.
