Yes this really annoys me, same as when you are in reverse and the volume seems to reduce.
I’m nearly positive that auto-lowering can be disabled.
It’s to give the parking sensors priority on the audio so you don’t hit anything. Pointless having warning tones if the radio is blaring at top volume of your favourite song.
Dynamic Bending Lights (if equipped
) turn on when you put the headlight switch in the "Auto" position.
Or even if the windshield is dry; that wears out blades quickly. The main reason why blades need replacing often is because OCD dictates that no water drops be allowed, ergo mostly dry windshield, which drags on the blades.
-40F is cold enough that who cares about what is running well, if it's running, you're warm - priority 1.Third winter, and I only now noticed that if the below 40F warning *dings*, then the service warranty wrench icon and miles to service won't show (low temp warning takes precedence).
This car talks too much in general. I've nicknamed it Chatty Cathy.
It's +40F, or +4C for us Canucks.... Most cars now have this potential ice warning that was a rarity twenty years ago.
Don't know who all knows but the Z31 Nissan 300ZX from the mid 80's was nicknamed the "Bitching Betty" because it loved talking to the owner. "Your sealbelt is not buckled," "Your door is open." All with a wonderful robotic 80's voice LOL.
I so do not miss that LOL Nissan was big on that at the time, most Japanese cars were tbh. I blame Knight Rider for that poorly thought out fad.
