I tried it again yesterday. I pressed the brake as hard as I cound, the auto hold sign in the dash won't go green, when I'm in reverse.
maybe the EU stinger is different once again
Way back when I was taking physics in college, one night driving across a bridge, I adjusted my speed til the note hit middle C, 256, and I realized that I could calculate how far apart the bars in the grate in bridge were. Was a boring drive at night
They make a board that will remember the last settings for IGS and for Auto Hold also have one to remember your vented seat setting.Really like going from 30 - 90 when pulling onto the highway in a blink of the eye
Friggin Hate the Auto stop/start and the fact I can't see the directional lights without looking under the top of the steering wheel, should be on the HUD or down low on the dash by the gear indicator.
I had this problem too. Being quite tall, the steering wheel tended to block the turn signals. I dropped the seat to the floor and tilted the wheel up just a tad. In other words, find a way to sit comfortably, hold the steering wheel comfortably and barely see the turn signals. It can be done. Just give it some careful consideration.
I haven't quite found that perfect driving position yet, I'm coming from an F350 that's like driving around on a sofa.. find myself being "that guy" who's taking a left around the world, I usually have the radio up so loud I don't hear the clicking.
I'm coming from a Titan and also have the radio up to loud LOL
It takes some experimentation. If you've got the steering column that adjusts in and out that helps a lot. Tilting steering wheels are old school features (does any vehicle not have a tilting steering wheel?) But what makes the Stinger's high turn signals visible is a combo of dropping the seat (and even the seat back) and raising the steering column. The issue with doing the latter adjustment is if the face of the steering wheel is at a comfortable angle for your arms and wrists. There should be a bit of adaptability allowed for. If your wrists hate every angle but ONE, with no compromise for a few degrees up or down, then maybe you'll be one of those "special" height to steering wheel ratios that cannot drive comfortably for extended distances and see the turn signals at the same time (somebody on here, last year when we were talking about this, asserted that they are one of those "special" persons
). I noticed that in order to see the turn signals, after dropping the seat to the floor, angling the seatback a bit more, and extending the steering wheel, that I had to lift the steering wheel just a tad still: the steering wheel face was now at a slightly more acute angle than I had been accustomed to for over a dozen years in my previous vehicle. The adjustment period was very short and I can drive "forever" without arm or wrist fatigue.
I appreciate the in depth analysis on prioritizing seating position based on viewing the turn signals.

Same thing happening in two spots on mine.I have my first material flaw, at c. fourteen months!Many of you have probably seen this one from last year (haven't heard of a repeat complaint in months). I maintained that it was likely caused by vibration from a rattling hatch. But no. This little corner of acrylic (I am assuming that is the material) liner under the spoiler started to work its way out and enough of it was showing finally that I saw it: and pushed it back in with the edge of a wash pass card.
(On the rattling hatch as cause: it isn't, but it could make this happen sooner.)

Well, take the edge of a credit card (or similar, use your thinnest plastic) and shove them back in.
Oh, and don't slam your hatch lid! I think that this is the single most common bad habit people have that causes the most vibration and loosening of the various parts.Being tall, my head is almost touching the liner anyway. The difference is a slight lowering of my head by lowering the seat; reclining the seat back a tad; moving the seat forward to compensate (maintain relaxed arm positioning on the wheel, like you say), then angle the wheel up enough to see the turn signals. The telescoping steering wheel column had been full extended prior to these final adjustments; but now is moved in toward the dash somewhat. I find that many drivers think that their legs should be extended; and they overdo it; some even driving with their legs straight out, i.e. barely reaching the pedals. I've never understood this "need": and it messes with all the other positioning adjustments: for instance, requiring the column to be extended more than would otherwise be necessary, and sitting with the seat back too upright.I appreciate the in depth analysis on prioritizing seating position based on viewing the turn signals. However it sounds like you are now restricting the view of the road by being too low in the car.
Ideally you want to be as high up in the car as possible so your view out the front and side windows are unobstructed. As well as your elbows being slightly bent while resting on the steering wheel. Also keep in mind that if you’re too close or too low the airbags may not contact you properly and cause injuries.
I hope you have found a way to achieve a happy medium, but please prioritize positioning on the view of the road over view of your gauges.
Same for me, works in reverse just like "D" But I can speculate what might fix issues, probably needs a system reboot. Don't ask me how, but charged particles, cosmic rays, etc. can knock electrons off DNA, why not computer chips. Unfortunately, after some DNA knock offs we get cancer and can't reboot.
Same reason I didn't "discover" (had revealed to me a couple weeks ago) that the steering wheel has volume and mute button: I've always just used the dial on the dash.
