Re: USB

Hi all
Just checked and as thought percentage has dropped from 100% to 94% so it must turn off after a set time.

I thought it may discharge the battery as the car is only used at weekends.
However I now think it turns off after a few minutes.
I have left it plugged in at 100% charge, I will look tomorrow when I get home from work to see if the percentage has dropped and report back.

Re: USB

Hi all
Thanks for the replies
It is a shame as I would of liked to leave my iPod plugged in as it is only used in the car.

USB

The USB next to the 12v charging sockets seems to stay live when I turn the car off. Does it switch off after a set time or is it a continuous live.
Thanks

Re: Foot Parking Brake

Could not agree more
It is simply a parking brake meaning it should be used when parked.

Re: Driving tips to charge battery better.

The battery does stay around the 50% Mark you will never get 70 mile to the gallon max 60 I have been playing about in my car with the infotainment with the engine running and have got my battery showing around 70%. I thought everyone knew the manufacturers figures are not achievable.

Re: New Owner

Hi HaxbyPete I have got the Niro picked it up Friday. I do have an issue which is I want to keep going out in it.
