I have had recurring examples of this, I can tie it to blind spot warning, either that or the blind spot indicator is associated with the flash, but I paid attention last time and indeed a car was overtaking. I do not know in my circumstances if this is intended, or if software error. I mean I...

Oh wow, I looked at this to start with when I got the car, as I was disappointed that I could not schedule heating. I was put off by the user account thing which it sounds like with additional users, that's sorted, and together with climate control you could easy do a HA automation to schedule...

Yeah I say 2 hour only because that is sure to allow for any balance to take place, observation is that's more than enough by far! Experience on my 100% charges have shown at most 20 mins of balancing after cutting down to low amounts of power, like sub 1kw (and just to say, I really don't know...

In my opinion it's too much unknown to even try to guess, no manufacturer would want or desire to place this load on the customer. It would make the product unappealing, let alone hard to manage. As would a battery that could simply not easily balance itself and thus lead to a duff pack by...

Part of speed limit issue is not related to 'speeding' as such, the S5 has speed limit recognition and so it can easily pickup unwanted speed limits from side streets, and it also can misinterpret 'true' speed limit. The reason you would want to turn the intrusion off is that in that case (if...

Welcome, 3 month S5 owner here also new to EVs. I love mine, yes it has quirks, don't they all 😆 European, Chinese, or whatever EVs are moving targets right now and the S5 is a tip into where the quality is meeting the price very well indeed in my opinion. I think a software update will fix a...

I got to see the mirror heaters working just now! Cold misty damp night here, roof was frozen but windows and mirrors were not, just dew / condensation all over them, put the front and back demisters on and hey presto, a moment later, clear mirrors. Heated up fast!

I used to drive a Volvo C30 and it was very easily unsettled with a gust of wind, sometimes not really even that powerful, I even had it back to Volvo at one point but all checked out. I've had a little bit with the S5 but no more than expected - high wind turbulence type of stuff. Just what...

Personally, I get it if I use my phone while it's hotspot connected. Cpu threads and phone capability might have something to do with it. If I put my phone under heavy load, yeah - auto starts playing up, sound glitchig, 😆 mine isn't a very powerful model. I expected it might struggle.

I can confirm, all was okay. I did get the same steering thing. Full lock right and left took the warning away. No other warning after that, until the full lock was done; driver safety systems were reported offline on drivers console. Fuse changed, 12v socket... Was not easy to reach, required...

Is there any concerns with disconnecting the 12v pb cell that people have experienced? Aside from ensuring isolation of both ends, shorts, etc.... following user manual guidance of course. Has anyone had any issues with reboot/reconnect. Memory issues after such? Anything else?

I love mine, had it nearly two months now. Beautiful drive, I get a good 3.9 mls per kWh, less if I blast the heating but I expected that. Good range even though it's cold weather right now. Heated seats and wheel are brill! Performance is 😆 amazing Dealer was brill with a warranty issue...

Yes it does, 'charge to set %' or something along those lines. Keeps going outside of time range 👍 It's in the battery page. That would keep it going 👍

ADAS working fine, replacement glass is as good as new, no damage during swap over On collection I mentioned how surprised I was it came in so quickly, the chap doing the handover said I was lucky, 12 week wait if not in stock and no more stock known to them right now, so it was the luck of the...

Yes there is an ADAS appointment scheduled too, they asked me if it had driver assists. Now, if that's a full a proper alignment...? I guess it could be a check if it's working type thing, and if so send it on it way? My hope is it's a proper alignment, I just don't see how else it could...
