Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: First service tomorrow. “Extras offered”
« Last post by Kremmen on March 22, 2023, 05:25:33 PM »Just checked my fob battery.
This fob I used from Sep 21 to Aug 22. The car had only done about 2,500 miles on that fob and it's spent most of its time hung up deactivated.
Even so, after 18 months it was borderline (bottom gauge is button battery) :
I've got some 2032 in stock so after I've tested the spare tomorrow I'll do the in use key :

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: 2 questions

But beware of immediately going onto a motorway etc and driving at 130 kph. Stick to 80 kph/50 mph for a short time until the engine has warmed up. This is assuming the car doesnt run so badly when cold that you are a hazard to other traffic. In which case it probably needs mechanical attention.
Some boot lights may have a switch on the light itself. , with off meaning it never comes on. If there is no switch and for some reason you never want it to come on you might have to remove the bulb (or fit a simple switch.) If it stays on when the boot is shut there may is a fault with the contact switch on the boot surround. It may be corroded, and some types are adjustable by screwing a contact pin or plate in or out. (but check any switch on the light itself is not three position - off/ on when the boot is open/always on.More common on interior lights )

Changed the batteries in my keys twice (was notified by the car both times) but only just replaced the battery in my wife's key (no notification apparently!) for the first time. Great idea to carry a spare battery in the car.

« Last post by Kremmen on March 22, 2023, 04:38:48 PM »That's part of the problem. You never know when terminals are going to be blocked by the eco nuts or other problems and fuel stations develop long queues and there you are on 1 or 2 bars with a week's commute ahead.
Been there, got the TShirt, etc.

(The dog and duck maybe 
)
But I get where Peteo is coming from. When there were empty pumps and queues due to panic buying, filling the tank was almost a physical pleasure.

« Last post by Jazzik on March 22, 2023, 04:10:59 PM »I get range anxiety in an ICE car hence my refuelling between one quarter and a third
Down to 3 bars on the MK4 and my palms start sweating, my pulse rate rises...

« Last post by Nicksey on March 22, 2023, 04:10:51 PM »Good point about fob batteries.
On my Civics I changed mine at 3 years but with these keyless jobs that are presumably transmitting/recieving all the time, apart from the 2 button trick, how often should you change them to be safe ?
Don't want to get caught out with a dead fob.
I learnt from experience with my past 4 Renaults, all of which were keyless. I always carry a spare battery in the glove compartment now. Not that I have needed it, because there was always a warning message on the display that tells you the battery is getting low. As yet, not had the Jazz long enough to see if this happens on a Honda.
