Re: New T4 RDesign Auto Fwd fuel range

Had my T5 for 20 months now done nearly 19k and do similar journey lengths to Db55 above. I find it’s averaging about the same. Currently showing 31.8 mpg on the display but expecting this to drop due to the cold weather. Longer runs out of town certainly give at least 36 mpg. Indeed a 350 mile run ...

Re: November Delivery

Reading through various topics on this forum, it becomes quite apparent as to why some dealers win customer service awards and others don’t. I’ve been fortunate in that my local dealer believes in customer service. They didn’t get it right every time but it’s what they do about it when things go wro...

Re: November Delivery

I agree with enneo. Get in touch now. When I bought mine delivery was expected at the beginning of March 2018, one of the first, in actual fact it arrived 3 weeks late at the end of March. This was no fault of the dealer who kept me fully updated. Once the car had left the factory production line th...

Re: Car park headroom

If you press either of the buttons on the bottom edge of the boot, it will stop instantly. Saves watching it damage itself.
Another press will reverse the direction it was going. I’ve done this in areas of restricted height and saved unwanted grief.

Re: Rear seat comfort !!!

I know when I first looked at the car I thought that the back seat cushion was short. However I’ve done quite a few journeys with people in the back and had no complaints. Mrs PC and friend sat in the back for a 350 mile 7 1/2 hour journey to West Cornwall and had no complaints despite only 2 stops....

Re: Turn on 360 camera

The screen will default to whatever camera view you left it in the last time you used it.
You can set it for either the rear camera or the 360 view. Too change is just a quick touch of the relevant button.

Re: Front park assist

I don’t find any issues with alerts in normal traffic. It can be activated by close passing traffic in adjacent lanes. Usually a visual alert rather than audible if the car is stationary and it’s the other traffic moving.

Re: Speed Camera Alerts

I have a 2018 First Edition and I get audible alerts for speed cameras. It is just a case of ticking the correct option. I vaguely remember there being one for speed camera alerts and a second box for audible traffic sign alerts or similar. Have another look and I’m sure you’ll find the correct box ...

Re: Ordered the hybrid XC40

I can confirm that the BLIS system works well. Yesterday I was reversing into a car park space that was near the entrance road, although separated by 2 kerbs and a 3 foot flower bed. The car clearly made me aware of cars it thought I was on a collision course with, and the stopped sharply a foot sho...

Re: T4 Auto R-Design Pro ordered today

Tailgate release takes a bit of practice but I now get it to work first time 95% of attempts.
It can be a be slow to register which sometimes makes you think it hasn’t worked. Wait for the beep to confirm.
