Trying to turn heating on in MG5 LR

When trying to activate the climate system to pre-heat the car the following error occurs constantly.

I have no idea what goes wrong but hopefully someone can shed some light on this error.

Same error occures in the iSmart app when my MG5 is charging. Charging has to be disabled and then climate can be activated. Could it be that?

I've seen that happen randomly, the app doesn't have an explicit interlock as far as I know...
