This is why now AD can offers 7-10 years warranty also no scare, cause whether can claim or not, they cannot confirm. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor68 Turbocharged June 2 Share June 2 Not sure if this is something most owners knew about. My family members were irritated by the constant beeping of the seatbelt warning for the back seas. So, they just plug in the seatbelt to silent it. Then I get this notification on the dashboard on power hold and SOC 10% thing. Without truly understand it, I acknowledged. When I got out of the car, although the car lock, the Aircon and media continue to run. After doing some research, the 'Power hold' was meant for if driver leaves the car and passengers continue to stay inside, the Aircon and media can be switched on till battery reached 10%. Although my back seats were empty, due to the seatbelt, the car recognize them as seated. So need to watch out this. Hope it helps. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plug in the rear belts permanently to disable the beep, but if the car detects the rear belt clipped in, will disable the easy-access feature where it moves the driver seat back for easier access when you unlock.

Indeed need time to learn new technology and their thinking. 😆 Honestly, the ideas are there, just need to adapt and understand how to max them. This car is quite challenging turning tight older multi story car park ramp. Probably due to the width. Length wise doesn't seem that long but some car parks, I hard have much room for error.

Car battery was replaced under warranty. but you pay huge markup. i think if i self import, and ownself warranty will still be cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to get older folks to buckle up. I get my kids to help them do it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed a good feature and we should make a point to practice it. It is just that sometimes, in our context, it is just less than 3 km from point A to B, we tends to feel unnecessary.

The 360 provides me the guide to go forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy some seatbelt buckle clips/extenders and plug them in so that the system will think that seatbelt is put on. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah have thought of that too but currently just fasten the seatbelt also work the same. For distance driving, still better to buker-up 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are driving Aion V? Nowadays most cross over and SUV, They have wide width which indeed quite stressful to maneuver in some carparks. Your driving skills must be perfect, if just a little bit out, your car would get scratches or dents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is wider and higher. I think a little more practice to get use to. Older car park are generally narrower and parking space with columns including those with hose reel are to avoid.
