if you use "Eco" mode it tells you when to change up or down too.
Mine comes with a part-time accessory that also tells me when I'm driving too fast, too close to the car in front, pass to close to parked cars, when it's safe/not safe to pull out at roundabouts, spending too long cleaning and vacuuming the car, and even when the music's too loud.
I figured out how I could turn it off, but not how to get a "not guilty" verdict afterwards...

Ah, you may have the 'wife v1' software package. You may need to upgrade to 'GFv1' , I did, it runs a lot smoother and allows most of the above , and 'nightoutwithlads v1' also. However, do not go direct from 'wife v1' to 'GF v1' you will need the program 'metime 4.1' in order to link up with such add ins as 'drinkingbuddies' and 'nightsout' . The ones to be avoided at all costs are 'mistress v1' this causes 'wife v1' to become power hungry and crash constantly, 'mistress v1' continually wants to upgrade to 'wife v2' , 'doingyourownironing' and 'cookingforone' are equally useless. :D

I have it good authority that upgrading "Mistress1" to "WifeV2" simply eats up all spare resources and only results in eventual resumption of the same faults as caused "WifeV1" to become so annoying.
And you also get multiple copies of "MotherinLaw" which is no fun, believe me.......

I know, I ran 'mistress v1' and 'wife v1' at the same time a long while ago, I soon ditched both and went to the 'GF' series. I have found the 'GF v3' with the 'blonde' overlay to be the best, although I have had to go to a newer model to get it to work properly, fortunately it runs ok on old hardware ;) best way to deal with 'motherinlaw' is run 'ignore' regularly. :D

I've found a really amazing feature. Its when you leave it out in some rain (Or if you're like me -cleaning your car often) It has more leaks then a sieve under a waterfall.

I've got more door and trim rattles that my hearing can detect in one visit.

My local dealer are amazing at returning my car to me with more faults then it went in with.

The mechanics clearly think I'm fat and need help getting in the car. They got a fixation with spraying grease over the whole F 'ing car each time its in.

As a result they get it back and the cleaners seem to make more of a mess then they clean to start with.


All round my new generation Seat is a shocker. Should have stuck with my pushbike.

Would that dealer be Snows? They're the ones who didn't want to try and fix my car, (Salisbury branch, though) so maybe I had a lucky escape?!

I found that you can adjust the sensitivity of the headlights inside the car settings menu.

So it gets darker before the headlights come on or they come on earlier if you prefer!

I also found out that you can adjust the speed of the climate control fans between low medium and high depending on how you like it.

High is awesome in the winter with low or medium in the Summer.

I also found lumbar adjustment in the drivers seat which is a nice touch. Not sure it's in all models but it's on my Cupra.

The sat nav is fkn useless. Nowhere near as good as last one. And that wasn't brilliant. [:@]

Its no award winner is it, I've been on a few mystery tours with it, weirdest one was a Loch set as the destination, 2 minutes showing till arrival at destination and I'm in a housing scheme, the 'you have reached your destination' termination was behind a bin lorry emptying bins in a cul-de-sac :shrug: I got there in the end using the Google navigation on the mob.

My old dated TomTom was far superior imo
