Re: setting messed up

OCTOBER 30 2018 You mention things that I cannot find in my instruction book, but it appears to be the car that is different from both books. We are talking about the screen infront of the steering wheel and not the larger coloured screen. I have sat in the car with my computer following your instru...

Re: PHEV - Questions and Advice

I feel I may have misled you, I used 4 miles of petrol to get 5 miles of EV, the other 9 miles where after I had used up the EV, I did the same journey yesterday, used the same procedure and only gained 3 miles with the same petrol.

I have not found any indication that the ICE is running other than the sound. I am not sure I understand the las...
