Some questions about the MY12 GTI (aka - things I dislike about my GTI)

Shouldn't you know what gear you're in if you've got MT then? I guess seeing a gear number might subconsciously be confusing. My parent Nissan Xtrail just had an up arrow that showed up to tell them the same thing.

One thing I observed with the MY10 today is that the MFD doesn't give a descriptive Bulb Out warning telling me which one is broken; I only get the warning light on the tacho, so I had to check them when I got home. Inside-right tail-light on the hatch is out.

This!

I know what gear I'm in, but quickly glancing at the display and seeing a different number, you kind of get that WTF moment.

Seems that this forum is currently taking forever to bring up pages.

actually my WTF moment is when the indicator recommends using 6th gear as soon as the speedo shows 60km/h. - no thanks

My manual discussed point 3. iirc #1 is for the current trip only, however if you only stop for a few minutes (say to fill up with petrol) and then continue it counts both journeys as one trip. Only if you've stopped for 20mins+ do the #1 statistics reset.

They automatically reset when the car is switched off continuously for a 2 hour period.

I'll give them a B+

Even that, I think, is being generous.

Still, it's a great car.

Knew there was a 2 in there somewhere

I'm pretty sure if you switch to accessories when the car is off, it will reset the 2hr period also.

As for the other program, it will run out over 99hrs (counted in travel time and with accessories on, I think) and then reset.
