Interesting Discoveries Thread (Good or Bad)

Heh yeah a ton of cars have had that feature for years now. Also a lot of people don't realize the little arrow under your fuel guage points to the side of the car that has your gas door on it.

One of your cruise control buttons says "res" on it which allows you to resume the last speed you had set for cruise, but this feature only works during the drive and resets when you turn the car off or turn off the cruise control function during the drive.

The ambient lighting colour can be changed to a ton of different colors if you cycle through your options in the cluster if you didn't already know that.

i don't see the res button

this has been updated. i found it, posted screenshot in other post

you can turn the display off for privacy and it just shows the time. i use it a lot at stoplights.

It will either have its own button or your wheel will have the res like this where you just hit the switch upwards to select it:

Does it work any better/faster? I sure hope so because the existing one is terrible from a usability perspective.

so far ive noticed that it tells me its that its going to take a minute for the car to respond to the command; so far i havent dug too much into it, it looks like just an updated UI.

yeah so for mine there is no res lettering, i read the manual and all you have to do it push the button in to cancel or resume, i took a screenshot of my buttons.

Turn cruise off. Hold the cruise control button for 3 seconds or so, should switch to normal cruise.

22s don't have standard cruise, only smart.

Don't use metallised tint and you shouldn't have an issue.

 

[n8hegr8]

i can confirm that when you press the voice command button and say "close the sunroof", it does not close the sunroof.

The only thing my tint (20%) did was make the auto-dimming mirror practically useless. Not that I ever look behind me anyway.

when i was paying my bill on kia motors finance last night, i was scrolling around, at the very bottom they show peoples usernames and peoples custom stingers. i wonder if any of you guys are on there?

So my key fob was in another state for a month. Killed the fob battery. 3v. 2032 btw. The fob does separate and snaps back together.

So my key fob was in another state for a month. Turns out the fob or car will not work until paired (when the fob is reunited with the car. ) when I did have it back in my possession the fob was dead. Nothing worked. So I used my spare fob and back at the car both fobs are working now. Amazing

How did you pair it?
