braking

A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction.

    Front collision assist / emergency braking software updates

    My daughter, who is pregnant, took delivery of a leased mg4 SE LR a couple of months ago. Today she had another occurrence of spurious emergency braking which pulled severely on her stomach. This is obviously very concerning for her. Are updates available to improve this bug? If so, what...

    Slamming On (Again)

    Mrs S has been gadding about while I've been holed up in the hospital. Heartless bugger. She even went out to one of our regular scofferies without me. Anyhow, she had another slam-on scare where His Lordship jammed on the anchors as he thought she was going to crash into some parked cars she...

    How does A on the regen work.

    Like some others I run Towing mode all the time, my understanding is that one of its functions is to disable the radar and camera to some degree, in which case when I use A in the regen settings again which I do all the time, how is this operating ? or is it just defaulting to a level 2 regen...

    Braking

    I've been reading about the brakes on an electric vehicle, some complaints about rusting pads and discs due to regenerative braking, is it possible to put gear selector in neutral to polish the rust back off the pads and discs?

    Regenerative Braking default

    Wanted to change default 2 setting for the regenerative breaking to setting 1 and it does work well for a single journey. Unfortunately it appears to always default back to 2 on end of journey so has to be reset back if you want to continue to use the 1 setting. Called dealer who advises there...

    ACC and TJA hard braking

    Hi, my dealer did some updates for me including the 1 kp/h ACC update. But ACC is still doing some hard brakes and and save different space between cars at complete stop. There is a fix for that? Maybe there is another module to update? I heard that the "1 kph update" is only cosmetic? Maybe...

    Adaptive Cruise Control - Braking either on or off?

    I've rarely had the opportunity (or motivation) to use ACC but a recent longish trip on fairly fast straightish highways seemed like a good time to try it again. Sadly, despite an OTA firmware update and a 20,000 km service earlier this year I found that it seems incapable of the kind of...

    Has anyone else had an issue with the MG4 suddenly braking when a car was coming in the opposite direction? I found it quite scary!

    Any way to stop car from braking around corners?

    The ACC starts to brake heavily whenever there is even a slight bend on the motorway which is really annoying! Is there anyway to fix a speed and keep at that speed? I understand if there’s a car up front and it slows down because of this but even the smallest of bends leads to the car braking.

    MG4 ADAS turning into oncoming traffic issue

    My MG4 Excite 64 ADAS results in sudden braking if I’m turning right (driving on left side of road) into oncoming traffic. If too close to oncoming car just passing by my car, ADAS activates with sudden braking. Anyone else experienced this?

However, yesterday while driving through a built up area at about 35mph in a...

    Quick question about regen braking and connecting maps via phone

    Hi,I just received my MG4 51 kWh 2023 model today, and I'm having a lot of fun getting used to the regenerative braking. Using one-pedal driving is interesting! I have a few questions - When you lift your foot off the accelerator, the car starts to brake. Do the brake lights turn on when you...

    Emergency Braking required

    We have just done a road trip south (well most things are south for us) and on our way to Inverness, along a road we know pretty well, we pass a four way junction that needs caution. A little way after that, there is a road to one side that also needs care as people may be waiting for a while...

    MG HS automatic braking turning on

    Hi, new here. I have a 2021 MG HS, and I turn automatic braking off on it. It has now turned it on four times without warning. This has actually given me whiplash because it is so paranoid, then made it worse twice now but doing the same thing. Is this a unique to me problem or a common issue...

    Brake lights

    Hi all, Something I’ve been meaning to ask, when you are using the regenerative braking (tacking your foot of pedal ) do the brake lights come on, otherwise it could be a problem if you have Mr BMW close behind. Cheers Tony
