Important Update / Correction for ACC & TJA!!! ACC & TJA at complete stop - 30s standby period. After continuous driving and testing (counting numbers in my head in Auckland traffic😆), I have found that the standby period for MG4 all variant is actually 30 seconds (not 3 seconds as I explained in the video). That means when the MG4 comes to a complete stop following a vehicle on ACC/TJA, it will automatically resume ACC/TJA if the lead vehicle moves within 30 seconds. The driver will not need to do anything at all. If the MG4 comes to a complete stop on ACC/TJA and stayed for more than 30s, the driver will then need to press the accelerator or resume button on steering.

Great! My Golf 7 has only the 3 second waiting period, and it's too short. 30 seconds is much better! 👏👏👏

These videos have been a godsend for me to learn all the bells and whistles on my new car, thank you Jerry, very very helpful and easy to follow

Hi Jerry. Greetings and thanks from Oz! Took delivery of an Essence 64 last week. Wonderful car and I/we have to admit being able to watch your videos for a few weeks before delivery was a great help. Our old car was 13 years "young" and didn't have any "wizbang" electronics. Your tutorials were a great help. Thanks from us.

Thanks for the video just got my new mg4 77 long distance today. Played with the settings for an hour or so and had most figured out. I didnt know about the hidden limiter setting which I will love as I used to have it on my Ford Focus. There is a setting to assign functions to the left and right star on the steering wheel. This allows me to change to sport mode on the right and max regen/eco mode on the left star.

These are excellent tutorials and I will keep coming back to them as I explore the car. SE England should prove a good test for some of these clever features.

Good video, always learning new stuff about the 4. My speed limit recognition also picks up “some” State Highway Number shields i.e. on SH20 it will recognise the red shield with white ‘20’ and display that as the limit…. While I’m at 100 🤦‍♂️ unfortunately doesn’t read the digital variable speed signs on the Auckland motorway system, which would be handy.

Hi Jerry, I have an mg4 and find your KZread tutorials great and watch them regularly. You’re the best at explaining how the setups work. I have a question. The mg4 makes an artificial noise when you reverse and drive. Is there any way of turning this off pr turning it down. I find it annoying. It’s probably the only thing I don’t like about the car. Sincerely

I wonder if MG realise the deep dive required to disable lane keep assist is a potential blocker for potential customers like me? Can LKA disable be assigned to a steering wheel function button? At least it will then be much like my current 2022 Hyundai.

If you put LKA on low the next time you start the car it resets to the maximum setting or unless you dont disable LKA it saves the setting you put it on?

Just got to ask some question , test driven my car and they can be quick , faster than our car at present , whats the best mode setting to slow it down in the settings , max regen , one pedal breaking ? does the car save your preferences , I know it will always will switch back on lane assist etc , will it keeps on those noted above the next time you start , will it also remember your speed assist settings the next time you start thanks

Hi Jerry, should over the air updates be available for MG4s in NZ? Mine says the car is not registered for this service. Also, did you know that NZ models are not supplied with a grab handle above the driver's door, even on the Essence model? Very strange cost saving

Hi. Can you please explain how the spec of 250nm torque on a 2023 MG 1.5 litre engine car can be more than an older 2.4l 2006 camry 180nm torque. Are bullshit spec being given with these cars? Or it's true. More torque and power with these small engines? How can that be?

@JerryPanandCars

9 ай бұрын

1.5 turbo is a lot more powerful than 1.5L non turbo. Turbo gives much more torque and that’s how technology advances. Manufacture cannot bullshit tech specs. Drive the car and you will be able to tell. My research also says 224Nm on 2.4L 2006 Camry.

I wish the car would remember some of the settings. This is one of the biggest downsides for me. I very much doubt e.g. driving mode setting has anything to do with the safety ratings. Also, I have heard the lane keeping assist can suddenly try drive you to the ditch with quite agressive turning of the wheel if the lane markings are not the best - such a pain if you have to remember to turn it off to drive safely just so that the manufacturer can get the safety rating and you essentially drive dangerously because of this. If the setting will not be saved, at least the manufacturer should put in the resources needed to make it operate up to standard! I wonder how it will work in e.g. snowy conditions. Love the car, but the seemingly a bit dangerous assist systems need some work.

@JerryPanandCars

8 ай бұрын

Drive mode goes back to default is certainly not related to the safety rating but MG isn't the only brand who does this. It is fairly easy to personalize the drive mode button so one click would do the work.

@@JerryPanandCars Great video - however, I only agree to a certain point here. All due respect, its not one click! Its many steps: 1) Take your eyes of the road, 2) "swipe to settings", 3) "click mg pilot", 4) "find setting for pilot mode" 5) "click the TJA or ACC". 6) Then click back. - All this is easily achieved when parked, but you need this while driving, such as driving in to a TRAFFIC JAM!!! situation, with cars everywhere! :) Switching Tja / ACC should be accessible _directly_ from the star/favourite button on the left, so I dont have to take my eyes of the road :) Not hidden in some submenu. I know; You can put "Driving Settings" on the favourite button, true, but you still have to click MG Pilot and then locate ACC or TJA. STILL you have to take your eyes off the road. So Stupid. Its a fantastic car and I love it, but please stop defending stupid implementations from lack of real life testing.

@ I thought my previous comment was regarding drive mode selection going default normal. That has nothing to do with ACC / TJA. ACC / TJA doesn’t go back to one setting default. As long as you have set it up when it is parked, it will memorise your setting even if you switch off and on again.
