It took me ages to track down a procedure to reset the WiFi and even then it was confusing and didnt always work, so I documented my final procedure so it should be foolproof! WiFi Reset Procedure: 1. Get in the car and Fully close the Drivers door. 2. IMPORTANT - All steps below must be...

I use LiPo batteries a lot for my hobby and its good practice not to leave a battery for long periods at 100% charge. Long periods means storage etc, where they should be stored at about 80% charge, however regular use from 100% should be completely fine.

My phone is an Android (OnePlus) but not a Sony, just thought it was worth a try. Another thing worth trying (if your up for it) on your phone is to go to your WiFi list and delete/forget all listed WiFis and see if that forces your phone to stay connected to the car WiFi. If it does then...

My phone has a setting under WiFi Advanced settings that says "Avoid poor connections - Dont use a Wi Fi connection unless it has a good internet connection". Swich this off.

Sorted on 2016 MY, mine shwed 999.9 MPG the other day after the ICE kicked in for a few seconds whilst I was still stationary before setting off.

Not quite right I think: Im also with Npower so 12.59p per Kwh is the same for me, I think the battery only takes approx 10 Kwh of charge to fill, so cost to fully charge is about £1.26. Lets agree this takes you about 22 miles, so thats 126 pence/ 22miles = 6p per mile. Petrol is about £1 per...

I understand that the Charge button uses the ICE to replenish the battery, I want to top it up using the re-gen energy only if I can. The dealer told me never to use the Charge button as it will hit my MPG hard, but happy to give it a go in Parallel Hybrid mode the next time I do this journey...

I love my new 2016 GX4HS, but have noticed that the design of the cockpit layout is not the best and seems to have missed the drivers need to operate the cars switches effectively and safely. For instance, on my RHD version, its almost impossible to see or read the text or icons on a lot of the...

We drove a long journey today (400 miles) on a mix of motorway, fast A roads, as well as through towns and villages. My plan was to Save battery power for the towns and slow sections but I soon found that the battery was depleted too soon. My question is. ......... Is there a way to harvest the...

Thanks for all the comments guys about drafting using the Active Cruise Control. I don't have the car yet and certainly don't contemplate drafting any vehicles in my current car, I know the dangers! My question was really to see if the Active Cruise Control function on the 4HS, which...

So here is a controversial way of improving economy and MPG: On a motorway drive close and stay behind a large box van/lorry which typically stay at 60MPH and benefit from the huge drafting effect. With Adaptive Cruise Control to maintain a minimum safe distance this should now be feasible and...

Ive just ordered mine for delivery in Jan 2016 so was wondering if the adaptive cruise control / speed limiter function would dynamically take into account the road speed limit as displayed on the Nav screen?

I can see what you mean by coasting in B0 and I certainly agree with your logic there, but the original poster of the quoted message gave the impression that leaving it in D (or the equivalent B2) all the time was better for MPG than using B3/4/5 on the flat.

Ouote "You can increase it to B3, B4 or B5 for regenerative braking down steep hills, but leaving it on those settings is likely to impact on your fuel consumption on the flat" I don't understand this statement? Why would leaving the regen at B3, 4 or 5 on the flat lead to increased fuel...

Ok, just ordered our PHEV today: 1. Due Jan 16 2. 4hs 3. Facelift 2016 4. Private owner, so economy and great car to drive 5. Swindon, Wiltshire 6. Retired as of last week so no need for 2 cars now and no more long commutes. 7. Had a Prius about 8 yrs ago but traded in for BMW 520, then...
