Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Tyre deflation false alarms
« Last post by Kremmen on May 02, 2024, 03:49:24 AM »How did you initialise the system ?
The original advice in my old Civic manual was to drive at least 15 miles after firing off the calibration, taking in all manner of bends and speeds so it can learn the expected rotational values
If you don't do the 15 miles then it can't calibrate hot tyres

They came out with a sample of colours I could have. I have used them a few times and they are good

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Spacesaver spare wheel
« Last post by Kremmen on May 02, 2024, 03:41:32 AM »My impression of that tyre plug kit is it's probably fine in a workshop where you can identify where the puncture is
I wouldn't like to try and use it on the roadside in dark or wet weather which brings us back to relying on the gunk because we have no spare wheel slot
I would have preferred to have lost the magic seats to give extra space for battery pack and spare wheel

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on May 01, 2024, 05:55:33 PM »I carry a full sized spare in my Mk4, strapped down in the boot space.It takes up quite a bit pf space but I can still fit a medium sized suitcase laying on top of the tyre and quite a lot of luggage to its side. More remaining volume than the total boot space in my 2007 Yaris.
Yes, it doesn't happen very often, but when it does the spare wheel makes a big difference. The lack of even provision for a spare wheel makes me reluctant to replace it with a Mk 4 when the time comes.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Tyre deflation false alarms
« Last post by dayjavoo on May 01, 2024, 05:50:04 PM »When this first happened to me, just two weeks after taking delivery of my Jazz, I immediately pulled over and checked the tyres and discovered that there was no sign of loss of pressure in any of the tyres. It's happened a few times since then but if the car feels OK I've felt confident enough to drive carefully to the next convenient services. I thought the false alarms could be due to the tyres warming up and the pressures increasing but the handbook says "The low tyre pressure indicator will not come on as a result of over inflation." I just recalibrate the system and the warning goes away - until the next time! I also recalibrate after any routine check and adjustment of tyre pressures.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: 12V Battery after long stand still

Due to (medical) circumstances, the car was not used for 71 days (10 weeks, 2½ months).
...
With fingers (also toes and eyes) crossed I pressed the unlock button on the key.
Flashing, mirrors unfolding and everything seems ok.
Thank you for the positive feedback on this topic!
And a hearty welcome back! I hope you are well again!

« Last post by ColinB on May 01, 2024, 05:06:22 PM »I've never used photochromic lenses, you're right they don't darken down fully inside a car (opticians promote this as a benefit, "ideal for night driving"!) and also they can take a while to return to clear when you go indoors from bright sunlight. I use polarised clip-ons to reduce glare off the road (reflected light is polarised), but you have to search around to find some with a very light tint. Of course it reduces transmission of any other polarised light as well, so some screens look dim.

« Last post by Marco1979 on May 01, 2024, 04:00:53 PM »I had a polychromatic one: it is useless in a car. Now I have a polarized one which is very good when looking out of the window, but screens and buttons are more difficult to see. It takes any glare away, which is really good (and safe).
I’m very sensitive to glare, if I wasn’t I would prefer a normal tinted pair of glasses.

Mine don't darken behind glass anywhere near as dark as being out in the open

Just glad I subscribed to Which? Legal about a decade ago, they can fight my corner if I get any nonsense like some posts here
This is clearly a manufacturing fault as demonstrated by a recall in some countries
