Re: Smart Cruise Control and Cruise Control

The car slammed the breaks on more than a 100 yards before I could have reached the bike.
This is what smart cruise control is supposed to do.
And why it is such a safe car to drive -accidents are prevented this way.

Smart Cruise Control and Cruise Control

My Niro 4. I've had cruise control for years and use it all the time. Unfortunately when cruise control is selected it activates 'Smart Cruise Control' by default. To select normal Cruise Control you have to hold the distance button for 2 seconds and then press select when Cruise control is displaye...

Mode button - LH side of steering wheel.

The mode button on my Niro 4 switches between AM, FM/DAB and USB. My user manual it says it should switch between AM, FM/DAB, USB and My Music. My Music is missing - it is presumably a hard drive. User manual says it should be there and shows that it allows USB music files to be marked for copying t...

Re: Boot mat size MY18

Used the boot liner from the Kia Soul I traded in.
Works fine, perfect width.
About 3 inches short from back to front which allows it to slide it clear of the handle to lift up the floor - very handy.

My Music

2017 Niro 4. 'My Music' does not show when I'm playing songs I've ripped from CD's onto a usb flash drive. Screen shows songs being played, albums lists etc - all sounds good and working fine. It should allow songs to be marked for saving to My Music. Could this be because I haven't got a smartphone...

Re: Mobile phones & Smartphones

I've got a couple of Doro 6520 clamshell mobiles. Bringing up the menu lists Facebook Twitter and Browser. Selecting Browser brings up the message - 'This service uses data traffic. Enabling can generate additional costs'. Probably a stupid question anyway - I'm sure a smartphone is essential but ha...

Re: Don't have and don't want a smartphone !

You can get mobile broadband units for almost nothing and they use very little data ?
What is a mobile broadband unit and how do you or would you use it ?

Re: Don't have and don't want a smartphone !

Smartphones. As far as I can see, the only features missing with no smartphone are speed camera alerts and weather forecasts. I think I can live without them. Can't bear the thought of starting from scratch with a smartphone. I seem to have Wi-Fi and therefore points of interest. Car is brilliant, c...
