  1. Today
  2. My 2023 Model Y exhibits the similar behaviour in Autopilot with Autosteer. A curve in the road features a vehicle positioned in the centre median, yet not within the travel lanes, occasionally for reasons I cannot discern. The absence of a straightforward "resume" also frustrates me.
  3. It is analogous to seeing a physician and stating, "My arm experiences pain when I perform this action," to which the physician responds, "Refrain from doing that."
  4. I consistently appreciate words of this nature. In actuality, the Speed Limit denotes the maximum permissible speed rather than the anticipated driving velocity. Speed regulation has been a concern since the implementation of ASSO around six months ago. Widely recognised problem with numerous discussions addressing it. Simply use the accelerator to increase speed.
  5. Reduce speed; nonetheless, the vehicles are not achieving the designated speed restriction.
  6. That indeed appears to align with the recommended approach: to proceed cautiously on corners and in congested traffic.
  7. Identical situation with my Model S from November 2016, equipped with version 12.3.6 of Full Self-Driving. It did not occur prior to the most recent update, which was several months ago. Frustration...
  8. My M3 Performance is exhibiting the same issue.
  9. The Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature on my Model Y decelerates in heavy traffic or at corners and fails to regain the predetermined speed once the traffic dissipates or upon entering a higher speed limit zone. This is somewhat frustrating on the highway, as it gradually decelerates to approximately 52 mph despite being set to a maximum of 59 mph. Drivers behind me must question what is amiss with me. This is a fundamental function of adaptive cruise control that operates as expected in all other vehicles I have owned, for which I did not incur monthly fees. What is the utility of the lane-keeping feature if the vehicle consistently irritates other drivers by often decelerating? Anticipating a prompt update.
  10. Yesterday
  11. Merely a BD Original (TM) Slim. By now, you should be sufficiently acquainted with my aesthetic! It comprises content that is partially distributed among numerous MBClub discussions and posts, many of which I have contributed to, all consolidated in a single location. I recently initiated a comparable thread on tyre skip, having observed its increasing mention in recent posts, with the expectation of further discussions to follow. I proposed that instead of each individual responding to every new thread with identical information, I (and others) may respond to new threads by providing a link.
  12. An excellent guide; this should be pinned at the top of the forum! I utilised the 'report' tool to notify the administrators and request that it be designated as a sticky at the top. The report button can have both beneficial and detrimental purposes.
  13. I engaged in this practice with all my Mercedes vehicles. Despite the installation of new batteries. Brief excursions deplete batteries.
  14. The season is approaching when individuals will begin to share articles regarding their vehicles' difficulties in starting, or their complete failure to start, along with enquiries seeking assistance to diagnose elements that have ceased functioning despite the absence of an apparent defect. Owners frequently report problems that occur abruptly, noting that the vehicle functioned properly during its last use. Posts frequently assert that the lights were not inadvertently left on, that the vehicle is utilised routinely, and/or that a new battery was installed only last year, therefore ruling out these potential causes. All could stem from a malfunction, although in numerous instances, it is merely insufficient battery voltage. This occurs when we extract more energy from the battery than we replenish. The vehicle's alternator replenishes the battery while the engine operates; however, this may be insufficient to prevent a gradual decline in voltage over time. Evenings are darkening sooner, mornings are remaining dark longer, travel durations are diminishing, congestion is intensifying, and our consumption of appliances—such as heaters, heated seats, lights, wipers, and air conditioning—is escalating. This indicates that the vehicle consumes a greater amount of battery charge each minute of operation, while the alternator replenishes the battery for a reduced duration. For certain vehicles, these symptoms will appear very rapidly after the onset of autumn or winter weather. For some, the battery endures throughout autumn and winter, although not sufficiently to allow the natural seasonal transition and usage to replenish more charge than it depletes. Certain contemporary vehicles may deactivate non-essential services and features to safeguard the battery, often without any notification. Certain components exhibit high sensitivity to voltage, resulting in malfunction when the voltage is insufficient, although this may not be intentional. Main dealers, workshops, and motor factors frequently provide a new battery in such situations. If low voltage was the cause, absent any specific defects, this will alleviate symptoms in the short to medium term. However, if the vehicle continues to be utilised in the same manner, the voltage will progressively diminish once more, and the cycle will recur. Replacing the battery prematurely is both costly and unnecessary for the owner or driver, unless the battery is genuinely defective or sufficiently aged to fail in retaining a charge for a reasonable duration, thereby wasting valuable materials and energy involved in its production and distribution. Regularly charging the battery can prevent the voltage from dropping to critically low levels, hence preserving the car's functionalities and its ability to start. The process is swift and uncomplicated, and the battery may remain in the vehicle provided you possess a suitable battery charger (or "maintainer"). A mere 24-hour charge in a month will sufficiently replenish a battery, significantly mitigating the danger of low voltage problems and extending the battery's lifespan. It need not be a continuous 24-hour period and can be conducted anywhere with access to electricity, not exclusively at home. Prominent brands of battery chargers include CTEK, NOCO, and RING, along with those frequently available in the central aisles of Aldi and Lidl, which are highly esteemed. All are sufficiently adequate for infrequent use. Ensure that the charger you purchase is safe for use while the battery remains connected to the vehicle and is compatible with your car's battery type. If your vehicle is equipped with a lithium battery, it must exclusively be charged using a specialised lithium battery charger. These components are exceedingly rare and utilised exclusively in high-performance vehicles, where the substantial relative expense is warranted by the little weight. In case of uncertainty, consult the label on your battery. Ultimately, establishing a connection is uncomplicated. To charge occasionally, attach the charger’s crocodile clips to the jump start terminals located under the hood (see to your vehicle’s manual for exact instructions). Some chargers are equipped with quick-release wires that can be permanently attached for regular charging. Avoid directly attaching the charger to the battery's positive and negative terminals, since this may disrupt the vehicle's charging system and circumvent the protective mechanisms implemented by manufacturers to safeguard the car's delicate electronics.
  15. This capability is unavailable in Europe, likely due to legal constraints. In other markets, it is included in Mazda's Connected Services.
  16. Certainly. It is not even available as an additional option, unlike certain other petrol/diesel vehicles, such as those from Volvo, if I remember correctly.
  17. I opted to enquire; nonetheless, this is likely unsupported for diesel vehicles.
  18. I disagree. You may either activate the horn or lock it remotely. Activating remote heating is feasible solely with the plug-in hybrid variant.
  19. Greetings. I possess a 2023 Mazda CX-60 3.3 Diesel Homura. Is it feasible to initiate the engine remotely using the Mazda app?
  20. There is no menu option to recalibrate the tyre pressures. Does this imply that it use an other system?
  21. Without diagnostic reading, it will merely be conjecture. The issue may stem from a depleted battery in one of the sensors or a malfunction in the monitoring ECU, although no faults have been reported thus far. It seems to be related to internal tyre sensors. The batteries may be sealed within the sensor, necessitating a complete replacement, or they may be serviceable (though typically not). It is advisable to check if diagnostics can read the battery levels in each unit before determining the next steps. There may be clone sensors compatible with the OEM device; otherwise, OEM options tend to be expensive due to a lack of competition.
  22. My data continues to indicate internal tyre sensors; hence
