They're designed to stay on for a minimum of 8 seconds to avoid looking like they've just been flashed. Didnt prevent a minibus pulling out in front of me though!

I think the red light is like the one on the early ecoboost- engine failure in 3,2,1 too late! I'd much rather have a nice needle to glance at, or even a degrees C to keep watching.
Clearly I'm in a minority though, or the marketeers at Suzuki would fit one instead of, for example,a shaky steering wheel when I change lanes and a red "CRASH IMMINENT DANGER DANGER!!!" sign every time I slalom through parked cars.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Since the mid 1990's many cars, despite looking like they have a temp gauge don't. They essentially show the same as the warning light; cold, normal, hot. They just fool you into looking like a gauge. But only actually have 3 positions.facade wrote:

Is it worth running the Gen 4 on 98 octane? Much difference on mpg or performance?

(also, good to differentiate between different octane numbers: RON/MON/AKI...)

From the definition, am I right is concluding that putting 98 is a waste?

Trouble is, you are driving completely blind. I accidentally reset the mpg trip at the last fill up and it hasn’t quite risen to the same number yet (still climbing). I also forgot to fill up last night and the fuel light came on this morning on the way to work. Sadly I don’t pass a Petrol station. Had to take a detour on the way home to find one. But as it turns out I could easily have made it home and then onto the local petrol station. If only the car was able to tell me how much fuel was actually left onboard
