parking

Parking is the act of stopping and disengaging a vehicle and leaving it unoccupied. Parking on one or both sides of a road is often permitted, though sometimes with restrictions. Some buildings have parking facilities for use of the buildings' users. Countries and local governments have rules for design and use of parking spaces.
Car parking is essential to car-based travel. Cars are typically stationary around 95 per cent of the time. The availability and price of car parking supports and subsidize car dependency. Car parking uses up a lot of urban land, especially in North America - as much as half in many North American city centers.

    Any tips for parking up for 3 months?

    I'd appreciate any advice about leaving my MG4 Trophy 77kWh parked up for 3 months this coming winter (south of England). I note the manual says don't let the charge drop below 50%, but should I expect the car to drain 30+ kWh from the battery when it's parked? Thoughts welcomed, thanks.

    What gear position in slopes?

    1. Should I always use the hand brake or the parking P on the gear wheel? 2. In traffic lights, should I go to neutral N or keep D position while keeping the brake engaged? What if I am using "one pedal", should I change from D to N? Thanks

    Muting rear parking sensors with bike rack

    Anyone know how to mute the rear parking sensors on a 2021 MG ZS EV? When I have the bike rack on with a bike, the rear sensors think it's about to hit something, so constantly beep loudly. Makes reversing down a long driveway very painful.

    Leaving the car on.

    Just a thought, if you had a secure place to park, what detrimental effect would leaving the car switched on permanently have ? I know when you get out of the car it comes out of ready mode, so the car can't be driven without the key. The car maintains the 12v when in this state. Just thinking...

    Audible front parking sensor

    Can anybody help please. I have a MG3+Hybrid and whilst I have visual front parking aid, can anybody tell me how I can make it audible too. It seems everything has a sound apart from this. Maybe I have a fault. Please help. Thank you.

  10. Water problem in the parking brake switch

    We had a spill inside the car and got water in the Parking brake switch. The car is drivable but slams on the brake when almost stationary as it can't register the switch condition. Anyone advise as to how to remove the switch to dry it or replace it if necessary?

    Plastic at the front

    Has anybody scratched the plastic at the front of the car while parking? Unfortunately the pavement was higher than usual and I think MG should add an alarm just like the rear parking system. Can I suggest this to the company? How?

    Front parking sensors

    Hi I have an MG4 Trophy. The rear parking sensors beep away when parking - and the 360 camera seems to work, but I don’t get any beeps / warnings from the front sensors. Is there a setting I’ve missed?

    Can you turn off headlights while parked ?

    I pick up grandchildren from some night time sports events and can’t figure out how to kill the headlights while in parking mode awaiting their exit from sports hall. Is it possible??
