Disappointed as I wanted to crack the 500 mile range....

Re: Fuel notification

I find that unless you're putting in a reasonable quantity of fuel the gauge and range don't change immediately.

Re: Petrol pump clicking off

Just filled up today. Tank was empty - showing range left as zero. Managed to get 43.83 litres in. So according to the car specification I still had 4 litres (not quite a gallon) in the tank. Enough for 40 miles but I wouldn't like to push it. I'd completed 452 miles.

Re: Auto Lights Setting

I used the physical manual which came with the car - it should be the correct one.
However it only goes up to 4-50 & the last 6 pages relate to parking sensors. I can't seem to find the quoted paragraph.

Re: Auto Lights Setting

An example is yesterday i was travelling on the motorway at 11.00am and it was lashing it down and if i had left my lights on auto they would not have come on as the light levels would not have activated them. From the CX-3 Owners manual : If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are...
