Put the smart tag in the dotted area and you'll be fine. That's what I do all the time. Otherwise, it won't go through (most of the time cannot)

Isn't the air recirculation off by default to prevent CO2 buildup? That way the driver won't feel tired or drowsy as easily as when air recirculation is on. Doesn't the car have a cabin filter to filter out the bad smells?

I know the VW Polo doesn't have it but don't tell me the P408 also don't have a cabin filter?

I don't know about your car, but mine is still cold even with air recirculation off. But I drive a different marque but it really shouldn't be all that different. Of coz don't compare to Japanese, their air cond is really industrial grade cold even at low settings

Every marque has its fair share of problems. Although some less than others (eg. Japanese). If you aren't prepared to deal with the problems associated with owning a continental ride, then its best to just go with the safer Japanese options IMO.

It does, no need to test. It's proven.

The fuel consumption is regulated by the cruise control function and will stay at the optimal fuel consumption point to maintain speed. It is definitely much more consistent compared to human foot control. But be sure to temporarily disable CC if you are going uphill or it will increase consumption in order to maintain the set speed.

That's good numbers man, I average the same for the same kind of driving
