Hi all. Now that I have had a while to acquaint myself with my MPS, I have a few n00bified questions to throw at those who hopefully know!
any help appreciated
1. advanced key. starting to annoying me. i have RTFM, and it makes sense to me. however, every so often the system *seems* to go a bit nuts on me - can't figure out why. here's what happens..... come to a stop. apply handbrake. push engine start/stop button - car is now off. open driver's door, and..... BEEP-BEEP! .... BEEP-BEEP!....... BEEP-BEEP! forever. why is the damn thing beeping at me? it doesnt do it every time.... only sometimes.... and i can't figure out what is making the difference. then if i get out of the car (with the key), the nav screen lights up and says "Advanced Key not found".... is this some kind of error/bug, or am i just not doing something right??
2. sometimes i have a problem catching third. i just sometimes can't find the hole (story of my life) - this doesnt just happen when i'm driving ...erm... more enthusiastically, either am i still scaling the learning curve?
3. i haven't looked for the tire placard - what pressures does everyone recommend? guessing i should check them weekly too.
4. cold starting. i note the blue temp icon. actually, it threw me not having a temp gauge at all :P should i be a) letting her warm up until that light is off before driving at all, or b) driving but very lightly whilst that light is on?
5. the fuel cap seems very easy to unscrew. is that right? i mean, compared to all my previous cars. also there is no clicking when you screw it back on either. maybe it's that i havent owned a mazda before
6. really? is there no way just to have cruise control on by default? it's pretty annoying having to push 'cruise on' every time i start the car...
7. looking at getting some relatively cheap seat covers to preserve my seats (as this is a novated lease). any recommendations that fit well?
8. i'm gonna plastidip my badges (maybe one or two other body bits also). anybody know if that place in hoppers crossing still stock it?
9. any other tips you may have would be very welcome.
cheers guys
