Thank you for your comprehensive response. It elucidates all the information I required had I perused the instruction.chuckle: Thank you all for your cooperation. Greatly appreciated.

You are entirely accurate. As is customary, I neglected to peruse the user manual before to commencing operation. Thank you for your contribution.

Thank you, everyone; it is really appreciated.

Hello, I seek assistance. I entered the vehicle and activated the start button as usual; but, when I attempted to shift into forward or reverse gear, no response occurred, and it remained in the park position. I attempted to power cycle multiple times, but it proved ineffective. I observed that the door handle was in the open position, so I exited the vehicle and secured it using the remote. However, when re-entering, the situation remained unchanged. After approximately 10 minutes, it displayed the "ready" notification, and everything was functioning properly once more. Was I at fault? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. In addition, I am fond of the car. I appreciate your cooperation in advance.

Thank you for that; nevertheless, this item requires hardwiring into the vehicle. It is not a standalone unit.

Greetings, everyone. I own a 2016 CLA200 Shooting Brake and want to add a front-facing dashcam. I am seeking a wireless option to avoid unsightly cables. I have been informed that they exist and function well, however I am unable to locate any. Has anybody experienced or heard of these? And if that is the case, where are they located? Seeking one that is simple to install with few complications. Thank you, everyone.

Where can I get battery servicing, charging, or conditioning in Aberdeen?

Thank you for your reply.

I am operating a Mercedes A200, and the screen recently displayed "Stop Vehicle, Leave Engine Running." The battery voltage is below expectations due to insufficient information. Sent to a friend's recommended workshop to measure the battery voltage, which registered at 12.45V. Has anybody encountered this previously? Uncertain if the issue is to the battery or the alternator. Will the problem code disappear after replacing the battery? Please recommend workshops for the completed requirements as well. I appreciate your assistance in advance.

My perspective differs little. I believe that a hundred percent capacity is sometimes a historical need for LFP batteries at now. Based on my observations of several presentations on EV batteries, it is advisable to maintain a number below 75% for the sake of lifespan. I typically charge to 70% most of the time, and when I want a wider range, I charge to 100%. This seems to extend the battery's longevity, particularly after its use in the electric car. Research indicates that consistently charging to 100% may have adverse long-term consequences on the battery; nevertheless, the vehicle is likely to succumb to rust before these battery concerns arise.

There are two options for linking your phone to the GPS system. First, activate tethering on your phone and connect the vehicle to the phone's hotspot. The vehicle will thereafter use the phone's data to provide real-time services, such as traffic updates and local fuel pricing. Utilising a USB connection enables access to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, along with its associated functionalities, like mapping and navigation. Many members like using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay for navigation and music streaming.

Paint may darken. Modern vehicles possess a clear coat layer over the colour coat, which is susceptible to fading. This clear coat may yellow with time, particularly on lighter-colored vehicles, resulting in a darker appearance of the entire paint job.

I utilise 0W-20 Mobil 1 totally synthetic oil and a Fram filter. The total cost for both items is $30 plus VAT. The CX-30 facilitates oil changes, providing considerable peace of mind when performed independently. Our vehicle is a 2021 model equipped with a non-turbo 2.5L engine, which may necessitate a different viscosity than that required by the turbo variants. Despite widespread criticism of Fram oil filters, I have utilised them for over 40 years without encountering any problems. I replace my oil more frequently than the average individual, hence I do not require a 20,000-mile filter. I change my oil well before reaching 5,000 miles, typically in my own driveway. The caution over the "quick change" locations is justified, however. Some are acceptable, while others may be precarious; the "upselling" can be characterised as predatory.

Moreover, the fuel efficiency significantly deteriorates in scenarios when the battery is unnecessarily utilised; this is not a viable alternative.

Thank you for the response. Is your car exhibiting the same behaviour? For me, it is simply a lack of common logic that both electric and petrol power operate simultaneously in sport mode with minimal torque/power utilisation. It appears that when driving above 100 miles, your battery will be depleted, regardless of efforts to conserve it for later use. If you desire a synergistic power of two powertrains, it will not be available. What occurred to me recently was unpleasant. Summary of modes and their functionality based on my experience. "Normal" mode attempts to utilise electric power at all times, rendering it nearly equivalent to "EV" mode. Operates effectively for a brief duration, then exhibits nonsensical behaviour, such as deactivating the internal combustion engine for five seconds at 60 MPH when the accelerator is not engaged. The "Sport" mode consumes power continuously and depletes the battery within 100 miles, but the miles per gallon (MPG) improvement is negligible compared to when the battery is completely discharged—yet another questionable innovation. "EV" essentially operates as "Normal," even transitioning to "Normal" when the accelerator is fully depressed. "Offroad" - I have not utilised it, but it may well be more prudent to conserve battery when feasible, as regenerative braking is virtually unfeasible while slow off-road driving.
