I had to reverse up a steep drive yesterday and couldn't detect any "assist". I shall have to test the brake assist thing on something soft and forgiving!!

Re: Which options are fitted to my car min

Well that is interesting. My new, 2018, Sport Nav AWD doesn't seem to have the Smart city brake assist or the Hill Hold Assist. Unless, of course, I haven't yet worked out how to switch them on!!!! Not beyond the bounds of possibility, I have to say.

Re: Cruise Control speed setting 1 mph out.

My CC also sets higher, so I set it lower, it also creeps higher when going down hill. The speed limit display must always favour GPS information, which as we know is often not that up to date. When another limit has been set on a stretch of road, the old limit still shows, obviously the camera info...

Sat Nav Again

Hi. I have updated the Sat Nav AND worked out how to get TBT on the HUD but entering house numbers still remains a mystery/quirk!! There are backwards/forwards arrows either side of, usually the mid range on a road, but no idea how to select the higher or lower range. e.g. I will see, in the select ...
