Dash cams and creep in the MG3 Hybrid+

[Aitch1]

Do any owners know if the Hybrid auto creeps when the brake is released? This is a useful benefit of 'normal' auto boxes in slow moving traffic, and a great asset when reversing. On another note, I've been reading about dash cams...has any owner got a preference 'make' to suit the mg3?

When I had my test drive, I told the salesman I'd never driven anything like this before, so as I was setting off, he explained it to me very precisely. "Put your foot on the brake pedal" he said, "Then turn the dial to the right to select 'D', then as you slowly release your foot off the brake pedal, the car will begin to move forward". And sure enough, that's exactly what happened, so the answer is yes, it does auto-creep.

That's what the MG4 does too (at least without one pedal driving enabled), so the MG3+ doing likewise seems sensible.

Thanks for your answers, it's a relief to know there's no change in driving style.

Not sure, how it fits with the MG3, but I have used BlCkvue dascMs for 8 years with no issues other that the sticky pads not being great. Had Nextbase before that, but found the Black Vue more discreet on the windscreen.

Did your keyboard go funny, and you actually meant Blackvue dashcams?

The perils of typing on a phone. Yes I meant Blackvue.

Small buttons, big fingers, it's a modern day curse.

In addition to my previous query, does the MG3 reverse work like a normal auto? In that I don't need to use the gas pedal, just keep my foot on the brake while reversing.

Yes reverse acts exactly the same as 'D' and usually needs the use of the brake to keep the speed down. When manoeuvring I have found it necessary to switch of the auto handbrake (toggle switch 'A') as I reckon things can become quite difficult to do things smoothly.
