ACC not available LKA not available.

[Rod Lewis]

Hi.
I'm new to this forum. I purchased a new MG HS PHEV this month and noticed on several occasions that it would give a message stating ACC not available and something else I think it was LKA.
I have read on the forum that it could be the camera obstructed, so each time the warning appeared I would stop the car and check the camera has no obstruction. There were none. I checked the radar on the bottom of the bumper, and this was also clean.
I booked it in to the dealer for them to have a look at it, but they came back with no fault found, and it was normal for this to happen.
I did not understand how this could be normal.
If the camera can see the road markings, then it is not obstructed. If the screen is clear, the camera has no obstruction, and yet the dealer insists the camera must have been obstructed.
I did take pictures of the clean camera and the dash but still insisted this is normal.
Is he correct?
Any advice or insight would be appreciated as I do not have any confidence that the safety systems are working as they were intended.

In winter condensation can be in the forward camera housing even it looks clear can stop it working the other would be auto high beam more then likely. This normal in all MG I have had.

Hi Jto.
I will look for condensation inside the camera housing next time it happens and hopefully you are correct. These are 2 of the pictures I took last time it happened.
Thanks for your help.

You can see on the 2nd photo water from Ice would think even if you look you will not be able to see if the lens is covered with mist it just take time to warm up in there.
