Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Gear B Jazz EX 2022 model
« Last post by Bristol_Crosstar on April 30, 2024, 01:38:59 PM »The Sport variant uses the same regen system as the HR-V and e:nY1, ie four levels of regen operated by up and down paddles on the steering wheel. In Normal driving mode the regen is cancelled when the car thinks it is no longer required, eg after stopping at a road junction. This would imply Honda thinks it's more efficient to only use regen when the road conditions require rather than all the time. Paradoxically in Sport mode the regen levels are remembered until cancelled by the driver (maybe assuming fuel efficiency is not required when driving this way). I imagine this system will be implemented on all Jazz models in future.

In Car Entertainment / Lossles audio on my Jazz GK 2018
« Last post by Hanszl2001 on April 30, 2024, 12:45:14 PM »As a High End Audio Freak like me, I find it strange that you cannot play a FLAC file on a rather modern car equipped with a DAB radio.
So the only solution in my case is to connect my Hidisz AP 80Pro analogue to the radio unit. Very clumsy for changing songs while driving and that really takes the Biscuit..
Anyone else who has a better solution?

Download the maps you need via WiFi before you go, then switch off cell connectivity to ensure you don’t incur unexpected charges (although it doesn’t seem to use much data anyway if you already have the maps stored). Obviously you lose live traffic info though.

But I normally have a payg mobile and no internet connection but I could buy a few days for when on holiday I guess and use google but then I'd need to buy a mobile dashboard holder. More expense!

« Last post by Toptek on April 30, 2024, 12:28:28 PM »I'm passed the free updates now and not sure whether it's worth it as it doesn't appear to be linked to the traffic management system anymore, therefore a smart phone with a traffic app might be the best thing to use.
A colleague used to let Google direct him to and from work via his phone.
I lived close to work and didn't need it but do for the occasional long trip.
Came in handy prior to setting off for a hospital appointment when the motorway was closed, in car sat nav directions via the closed motorway whilst the phone diverted to avoid it.

« Last post by ColinB on April 30, 2024, 11:35:45 AM »Anyone recommend a product or method? My partner hates having her foot hanging in mid air so I guess if I extend it down somehow her heel can rest on the floor when pressing the brake. Jazz 2018 VTEC Auto. Thanks.Is it not possible to adjust the seat and steering wheel positions so that she is comfortable?
Also, I don't understand why her foot should be "... hanging in mid air ...". I don't have an auto, but I always thought that the recommended driving technique is to use the right foot for both accelerator and brake with the left foot flat on the floor all the time. That way the right foot is always on one pedal or the other, and shouldn't be left hanging.

« Last post by ColinB on April 30, 2024, 11:27:52 AM »Not sure why this has diverged into a discussion of "coasting" (whatever that is in a hybrid). My comment last night was supposed to be a contribution towards the "Should I use B or D?" debate. The answer, of course, is the same for any car whether ICE, EV, or hybrid: you should drive in whatever "gear" (I use the term knowing it's not strictly accurate here) best suits the road conditions. But to do that you need to know the upsides and downsides of the different options, and the advice from the hypermiling guru seems logical to me.
