Thank you for your response. Traffic congestion is seldom near our residence, save sometimes on the M25 due to collisions or accidents resulting in the closure of one lane. I maintained a considerable distance from the car ahead in my Skoda, typically operating in D2 and progressing at idle speed without applying pressure on the pedal. Avoid allowing excessive exhaust fumes to enter your vehicle. Discussing practice evokes memories of my purchase of a Honda CX 500 motorcycle (with shaft drive) at the age of 40, a significant leap from the Honda 50 I had during my undergraduate years. I want the capability to maneuver it at low velocities, namely 2 mph or below, without placing my feet on the ground. I visited a vast parking lot many times early in the morning and placed plastic containers on the ground, ultimately achieving proficiency in the task. I will experiment with the ipedal mode when I have more time to practice. I am uncertain if my wife will take the initiative.

Thank you for that. It has not yet been sufficiently chilly to need heating, but I will use the automatic option and regulate the temperature using the circular knob. The dealer from where I purchased the vehicle is located 65 miles away, however my local Kia dealer is about 5 miles apart. Concerning the seat adjustment lever, may this issue be addressed under warranty at no cost? I have researched regenerative braking, and I-Pedal may be advantageous for navigating congested traffic. Nonetheless, I have also seen information suggesting that regenerative braking is not a mutually beneficial scenario. The velocity and kinetic energy accumulated are not entirely recovered with regenerative braking. Approximately 65% of the energy is recovered due to the inefficiency of the regenerative mechanism. If, for instance, you are on a relatively unoccupied motorway traveling at 70 mph and maintain a forward gaze, you would rarely need to brake, merely decelerating gradually. However, with regenerative braking set to level 1, releasing the accelerator will cause your vehicle to decelerate more rapidly instead of coasting, resulting in increased energy expenditure to return to 70 mph. The Skoda I had with the DSG transmission included a coast/freewheel mode, which proved advantageous on highways. The vehicle just glided, with no gasoline usage, resulting in improved fuel efficiency.

I will comply; on some websites, pressing the return key transmits the messages, thus I intentionally refrained from creating paragraphs. I am now aware that I will do better in the future.

We purchased a 2022 EV6 GT Line one week ago. Two years ago, during the garage conversion and electrical updates, I opted to install a 7kW Zappi charger in anticipation of perhaps transitioning to electric vehicles. I promptly recognized that the majority of electric vehicles depreciated to half their value within three years, making them a prudent option. You generally exhibit more sensibility when reaching the age of 80. Our 30,000-mile KIA was not only half the price, but I also discovered upon collection that the prior owner had paid a premium for the installation of a heat pump. There is plenty to learn about the new vehicle. My former vehicle was a Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI equipped with a 7-speed DSG transmission. This KIA accelerates from 0 to 60 in 8.5 seconds, about one second quicker. My wife believes the automobile is quite oversized. It is not much larger; it only seems considerably bigger than the Skoda, being only one inch longer and three inches wider. The one minor issue encountered so far is that the lever used to lower the rear seats works only on the bigger seat, necessitating manual access to the smaller seat to operate its lever. The battery percentage upon purchasing the vehicle was 99%, and after its first overnight charge two days ago, it displayed a range of 337 miles, which is satisfactory. Achieving over 4 miles per kilowatt. I maintain it at regeneration level 1 when navigating the town, sometimes using the left paddle to elevate it to levels 2 or 3 in order to reduce reliance on the foot brake. On freeways or high-speed dual carriageways, I adjust regenerative braking to zero to optimize coasting. I will not waste time searching for free charging, since we are only incurring a cost of 7p per kWh on the 6-hour overnight Octopus price. Today, we have only enabled Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to function wirelessly. We purchased the Mavlou Mini adapter from Amazon. It is well-organized and priced at £29.99, which is fifty percent off, and it comes in a metal box that prevents excessive heat accumulation. We are disregarding the parcel shelf, which is stored under the boot floor. The rear windows are tinted, rendering visibility into the trunk limited. We like the storage compartments in the vehicle. The spacious frunk accommodates two big umbrellas and a caution triangle under the boot floor. I have yet to determine the operation of the heating system, save than testing the heated seats and heated steering wheel.

The starting bolts are accessible from underneath after the removal of the DPF. Eliminate all wires, ensuring the battery is unplugged.

It is essential to elevate the vehicle significantly to remove the DPF from underneath it. It may be most advantageous in an elevator.

The cost is unknown, but it is a challenging task. The filter box, brackets, DPF, and catalytic converter need removal. Not that challenging, rather time-intensive.
