Re: Marks on wheels

Your wheels look quite bad for a car you have only had a few days. I sold my original Niro 2 wheels and tyres and replaced them with conventional alloys (German made by Dezent) many months ago.. I can see no corrosion type marks like those on your's - just a few tiny grit impact marks. https://i.img...

Re: Kia Niro - UK Pictures

Here is my Niro 2 + ADAP in the flat white. I love the car but I didn’t like the design of the wheels with plastic covers. I damaged one of the wheel cover trims on a high kerb and was quoted £75 for a replacement which was the trigger for me to replace the wheels with some conventional alloys. I ma...

Re: Adaptive cruise control

Sudden braking can also be caused by the AEB system - this would apply the brakes if an obstacle suddenly appeared in front of the car with and without cruise being active.

Re: Map updates 2018

I suggest you get the dealer to sort it. The KIA traffic warnings are excellent and should be displayed on the map if you have set a destination that involves traffic on the way there.

Re: Tom Tom traffic updates

If you have set a route on which there are no traffic problems - then no traffic will show and it will look like it isn't working. You need to keep the phone tethered and connected all the time in order to receive the latest traffic and camera updates as you drive along. Normally - when you fist sta...

Re: Tom Tom traffic updates

I assume you have set your phone to tethering and it is connecting to the car. When I first had my car I could not get traffic or speed camera alerts. I went to Settings (the cog wheel) > Navigation > Guidance and a list of options opens ready to be ticked. This will not appear until the car has con...

Re: Emergency braking feature

I was in the second lane of a 4 lane section on a motorway and had the emergency braking operate when a car cut across two lanes and come within a few of feet of the front of my car (and a car I had just overtaken) to exit late at a motorway junction. It all happened so quickly I did not hit the bra...
