I guess it reasonably is, since it's just 100 kPa's. But when you display only one decimal place of accuracy, it doesn't feel like the right unit. If the pressure is 46 psi, I want to see 317 kPa, not 3.2 bar. Maybe I'm just being fussy, and perhaps the TPMS can't resolve more accurately than a tenth of a bar, but it just feels wrong.Bar is the SI unit for pressure if my memory isn't totally wrong.
But otoh, speed would be in m/s in that case...
No you are not. Distance units are not necessarily the best indicators of other units in use by the same user. Us Canadians use the metric system. But not for everything... I have no clue how tall I am in centimeters, or my weight in kilos. But I know those in feet, inches and pounds. My distances are measured in kilometers, but I want tire pressures in psi.And we should be able to set psi independent of distance!!! :smile:
Yeah, I guess I am fussy...!

Want to go farther? I speak French, but please do not set my default paper size to A4! I use US-letter like everyone else.
And so on. Software vendors and manufacturers have to make informed assumptions on those preferences and aim to please most with their default values. An extra configurable option would not be too much to ask IMHO.

I lost my 3G towards the end of the trip. Not sure if it was related, but the warning tone for the Autopilot wanting to know I was still there seemed to disappear with it. Just screen prompts, no sound. I didn't like that very much... had it tripped out without me seeing the dash warning, I could have found myself in the weeds.
"Maybe" and "I hope so"...!So perhaps you were paying more attention to the IC when your 3G connection was lost and started noticing the warnings on the screen?
FYI, the warning that says "Hold the steering wheel" doesn't necessarily have an associated chime every time it comes on.
"Maybe" and "I hope so"...!
I don't recall hearing it even once after the 3G flaked, but perhaps circumstances were such that the audible alert wasn't thought to be necessary. Still, as drivers we're supposed to be watching the road, not the dash, so if a condition comes up on the panel you'd think there would be an audible alert to prompt the driver to look at it. Otherwise why put it on the screen and hope the driver notices?
Thanks for confirming that!
I haven't used the feature all that much yet, but had noticed this, and was wondering if it was as you described, or if I just wasn't hearing the chime some of the time. I was fairly certain that it wasn't that I wasn't not hearing the chime, but then I had wondered if perhaps the first notification is silent, and when I did hear the chime and see the notification, I had actually missed the first silent notification!
Your post clears all this up, and sets my mind at ease that I probably wasn't missing either the chime or the visual notification!
Thanks!
Question on tire pressure displays - mine keeps going from numbers to dashes - is this normal? Right now sitting in the garage it displays dashes for the pressures. But usually while driving it displays numbers. My Volt doesn't do this - it always shows numbers.
I just remember that 1 bar = 100 kPa. That is adequate for me....and Canada uses kPa
But our gal is different than US gal. :tongue: When the car tire spec 310 kPa, I just look for 3.1 bar on the TPMS. No big deal for me.No you are not.

I experienced something like this, but it turned out I just didn't understand how the system worked. Not sure if this applies to your situation.Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but, any idea why in random situations while on full AP it will suddenly decelerate? I mean not actually braking like emergency brakes, but almost as if it sees a slow moving car. This has happened at least twice. The last was just on Saturday evening. I had just engaged AP about 5 seconds earlier, no "Hold the steering wheel" messages, no cars in front of me or any objects, clear lane markings, cruise control was set as appropriate, etc. It just randomly started slowing down. It felt like just regen braking, not manual brakes, but I had no idea why. I had to manually speed it back up and re-engage the cruise control.
I finally figured out that it was resuming the last speed I had set. If you want to keep your current speed, you have to first set TACC by pressing up on the stalk, then set autosteer by pulling back twice. I guess this only applies if you have previously set a speed during that drive.
Personally I don't think that is how AP should behave, but I'm pretty sure that's what it's doing. Anyone else notice this?
Yes, this is exactly what I've seen, and I'm still trying to form the habit of setting my speed before engaging auto pilot. I wish it would take whatever speed you are at when you engage.
I think there is a decent chance that a long pull, followed by a short pull will set the TACC speed to the speed assist speed, and then engage autosteer.
