  1. I recently acquired a certified pre-owned 2023 CX-30, and the warranty brief explicitly indicates that emergency roadside assistance is included for the duration of the 7-year or 100,000-mile CPO limited powertrain warranty. Towing is specified to the nearest Mazda dealership. I question whether a new vehicle would possess anything inferior.
  2. In 18 years and 181,000 miles, I have never observed our vehicle performing a regeneration. Original DPF, albeit temperature and pressure sensors have been updated over the years.
  3. Indeed, the vehicle is equipped with a heated steering wheel. We are thoroughly enjoying the vehicle. We hope to avoid the undesirable battery problems.
  4. Greetings, everyone. Thank you for the responses. Indeed, it is a late-generation one. I conducted a test drive of a new Generation 2, 24-plate Icon. We were impressed; nonetheless, it was at the upper limit of our budget. I enquired with the salesperson whether it was equipped with both front and back sensors, to which he affirmed positively. We stated that we would contemplate it. After reviewing the specifications, we contacted the salesperson to enquire once more about the sensors. He was resolute that the car was equipped with the sensors. We presumed they had been included as an addition. We proceeded to register. Upon our arrival, we requested him to reverse the vehicle to demonstrate the use of the sensors. Speculate over the matter. Absence of auditory signals or alerts. We refrained from speaking to him. We abandoned him in the vehicle. Departed from the dealership
  5. Thank you for your prompt response. I can cease my concerns over the absent features that were unnecessary in the first place, amusingly. Yes, I have linked my phone to my profile. I believe linking to the key would be more advantageous for when my wife drives it to work. It thereafter appears in guest mode. Is it possible to associate her phone with my profile to prevent it from defaulting to guest mode while just my wife is in the vehicle?
  6. Greetings, everyone. First inquiry. I anticipated the presence of remote climate control on the Toyota app; nevertheless, it is absent. Ought it to be? I also considered linking my profile to the smart key fob. Once more, I am unable to locate that on the MMU. Any feedback would be valued.
  7. Does he possess the NTG 2 unit command? The most recent update was, regrettably, in 2019.
  8. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=tyre pressures&campid=5338181132&customid=2518X1570512X93f66208634d967db7545821fe056d3f&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&subId2=15&toolid=10001
  9. I would first verify the tire pressures. Does the vehicle possess run-flat tires? I would next take the vehicle to an independent expert equipped with STAR to update the software on all accessible ECU modules—engine, gearbox, suspension, etc.—provided the car is not remapped.
  10. Which automobile? Your biography states "W212 E250 CDI, A238 E53".
  11. Understood, I will try to clarify more. The codes I refer to are Maintenance codes shown on your instrument cluster as an A or B followed by the numbers 1 to 7. The indicators will not manifest until your oil life declines below 15%; however, you may pick the wrench icon to check your current oil life and the forthcoming service associated with the oil change. The subsequent issue is carbon accumulation. Carbon is a byproduct of combustion and escalates with suboptimal fuel combination or combustion. Combustion does not occur in the throttle body or intake manifold until the engine backfires, at which juncture carbon becomes a minor concern. I am challenging the validity of the carbon claims. Brake fluid is hygroscopic. This indicates that it becomes contaminated immediately upon opening the container. The braking system is ventilated, allowing a certain level of moisture to enter the system continuously. Excessive water content by a certain percentage may induce corrosion in the callipers and brake lines, perhaps leading to pollutants resulting from this corrosion that may harm your ABS and other components. The fluid makers advise doing a flush every three years. The Vegas valley is dry and dirty (I previously resided in Centennial Hills), making it less probable for rainwater to reach critical saturation rapidly. Your vehicle may benefit from a flush, in my opinion. The air conditioning in Las Vegas is challenging. I discovered that using a quality legal ceramic tint, parking in shaded areas and employing a windscreen sunshade is the most effective strategy available. An efficient A/C service can assess your refrigerant levels and replenish them if necessary. If a leak is present, a dye may be introduced to identify the source. By the way, it is only Ducky, and spelling is irrelevant (as is gender).
  12. You are correct in your distrust; yet, your 1.5L turbo engine is not suited for short journeys. A Maintenance Minder is also available to indicate the essential services required. Brake fluid has a service interval of code 7 or three years, whichever occurs first. The transmission is classified as code 3. Most individuals do a drain and fill every 30,000 miles. Inexpensive and straightforward. Additional information exists, however it is not relevant at this time. Carbon accumulation in the throttle body?
  13. I lack confidence in "oil change" establishments, as they often employ inadequately qualified professionals. My father's final vehicle was impaired at a Mr. Lube establishment, and they failed to inform him while attempting to conceal the incident. To economise, a local mechanic is a superior choice. The expense will probably be lower than that of a dealership but higher than that of completely incompetent establishments. If you like to specify the oil, please bring it in. Nearly all mechanics will utilise the oil you provide.
  14. There may be sediment at the bottom of the reservoir; thus, after removing the pump to drain the reservoir, insert a hose at the top and thoroughly flush the reservoir before reinstalling the pump
  15. For reversing lights that are not visible from inside the vehicle! 🤔😂
