Hello all,
Sorry if I appear dumb and be gentle as this is my 1st post (not he last post :)
I have just negotiated the part exchange of my Mk3 Jazz for a Mk4 (registered March 2023).
I have been reading this forum for some time but now joined because of what I’ve been reading.
I am not a very technical person and am of a certain age as with a lot of Jazz owners :o
It’s the brake failure bit that I am really worried about. All reviews of the Mk4 seem brilliant and I’ve never had a hybrid before so am nervous about this also..electric handbrake!! Etc
Anyway,should I be petrified?? Haha maybe not..
And a silly question finally. I am buying my 20 month old low mileage Jazz from a main dealer BUT not a Honda dealership. How do I register as a new owner for the 3 year warranty(remains of it)? Maybe I don’t need to?
And how do I extend this warranty now I’ve been frightened enough to think about this?
I will be getting my new Jazz in 3 days time.
Thanks for any advice and input.

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your new car. :D
From what I understand the brake simulator affects only early mk4 cars, so you'll be fine. Honda seem to be getting closer to a recall at long last. Search through the mk4 section to learn loads of useful stuff. https://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?board=162.0

Jazzfreak, you can either check with any Honda dealership or perhaps phone Honda UK Customer Service and they can check records of your car to confirm its warranty - if you are lucky it may even be registered for a 5 year warranty. If its only got the 3 year warranty and if it gets you piece of mind you can of course extend the warranty by 2-3 years with Honda. Its best to get the services done by Honda to make any problems easier to deal with but it does certainly seem so far that the brake simulator problem is mainly with earlier cars but I guess nobody can be completely sure. Hope you enjoy driving your Honda Jazz they are overall very good cars. You should find the MK4 Honda to be much smoother, better at acceleration and a more economical car than the Mk3 and once you have started using the electric handbrake and especially Brake Hold I dont think you will miss your old manual hand brake.

Thanks Westy36.
I have only ever had manual cars before and want to stick with a Jazz so an auto for me is like learning again ::).
I suppose my anxiety comes from the fact it’s auto and got a ‘bizarre’ electric handbrake.
I mean,when do I use the handbrake? On a hill ( where I live is a hill with traffic lights).. I assume I can just keep it in ‘drive’ and use the footbrake and then just move my foot to the accelerator to gently drive up the hill (I am assuming it will not roll back ..but not 100% sure if I’m honest).
In my manual it’s normal for me to use the handbrake and it just seems abnormal to have this small button..yes,I’m an old git ;)….i would be happy to hear other people’s experiences..and what a great forum!
Happy to be here
-
Thanks very much Cobb2.
I was typing the same time as you!
I am looking forward to new car but really sad to part-ex my Mk 3. It’s 5 years old and the fact of the matter is I want a Jazz but it has to be auto! Boo! And Boo! again
Is there a reason they have to be auto btw? Forgive my silly questions folks

No need for handbrake on a hill, it has hill hold brake assist (nothing to do with the "Brake Hold" Function) release the brake pedal and the car won't roll back giving you time to apply the accelerator

It's a full hybrid, it doesn't have a gearbox so has to be auto
-
I guess nothing to worry me about accidentally knocking the handbrake button?
I am guessing nothing will happen whilst driving? Yes,a stupid question/scenario I know but…I just love a hefty pull up handbrake. :)
Cal me old fashioned…. :'(
-
Btw.. it seems a lovely car.. just over 18 mths old and very low mileage….the fact I couldn’t find space for the spare wheel was almost a deal breaker..but I’m gonna stick it on the floor in the rear by lifting the ‘magic’ seat ;)
-

I was equally worried about shifting from gears to auto. It took me a day or two to remember that it will never stall, then the driving is much better and more fun. A couple of days ago, I was in a tailback moving slowly for a couple of miles. Auto was so relaxing and easy. Enjoy.
-
Thanks so much to all that have taken time to reply. Very much appreciated.
Just need reassurance I guess
-
Someone said that it’s auto so doesn’t have a gearbox. Understood . But why can’t it have a gearbox just out of pure interest… is it do do with space?
Just curious,as I said I am not technical..I can put petrol in and change wiper blades and that’s it!

Interesting! I see that some of the hybrid components are guaranteed for 5 years (not connected to the warranty it seems as that is 3 years)
-
As well as 3 year warranty you will have 3 years breakdown cover.
-
Jazzfreak - I'm not sure if you have driven autos before but personally having now driven a range of hybrid autos for the last 10 years I wouldnt want to go back to a manual. I can still drive a manual easily but not having a clutch to push down every few minutes in slow traffic or jams is really great. In fact when I had my first auto - a hybrid Prius, I actually quite enjoyed being in traffic jams! Take your time getting the hang of it - and you should find it much easier in the end.
-
Same experience here
You can select a far more comfy seat position not having to floor a clutch. Just 2 pedals, go and stop
My boss loaned me his auto Austin 2200 back in about 1972 and I've been buying autos ever since as I was so impressed
Just as a regular reminder my company used to always provide a manual pool car for client visits and they reminded me how much more work and inconvenience they were to me
Each to their own though
Just don't be persuaded to use both feet, drive like a manual with your right foot operating both pedals
-
I have driven autos and manuals regularly over the past 35 years.
Autos are far better in traffic.
Anyone who claims manuals are best obviously enjoys a 4 mile tailback on motorways on a scorching hot day doing stop/start motoring .
The situation in the UK is likely to get far worse due to lack of money.
Although my Jazz is auto, I still drive a manual Yaris occasionally but .....hate it in traffic.
-
I had only driven manual cars for over 50 years apart from a couple of brief drives in an automatic in the 1980's. It only tyook me a short drive to get used to the automatic hybrid, and would never want to go back to manual. I do still occasionally drive a manual. but occasionally forget to declutch and change gears :-[
It did take me a few seconds to get used to the surreal sensation in a hybrid where the stationary car is absolutely silent ,yet still moves off when you press the accelerator (Plus you dont even need to release the handbrake ;D )
The electric handbrake is no problem. . You just apply it with a flick of the finger whenever you would apply a conventional handbrake. It releases automatically when you move off. You wont roll back on hill starts due to the hill start assist function, which automatically keeps brakes applied until you have applied enough acceleration for the cars drive to take over holding the car on the hill.(electric motors - no need for gears) Better still is the 'brake hold' function. If you switch this on and brake to a stop the car maintains the brake pressure even after you take your foot off the pedal. Great in stop/start traffic as you dont need to apply (or release) the handbrake - plus no need for all that declutching and going into and out of neutral.
You wont be alone in being nervous of a new fangled hybrid automatic with all its clever tricks. Please folks. You will soon love it , and you can drive the car without needing to know how to work all of its bells and whistles. But take your time and try to learn as many as possible - they can be very useful.
-
My only piece of advice is to keep your left foot firmly planted on the floor. There is a temptation to dip the clutch (especially when coming to a complete stop), instead you will hit the brake pedal with your left foot, which is quite abrupt.
Some people do things like removing their left shoe to remind themselves.
But in a very short period of time you will be driving it as second nature and you will never look back.
-
Jazzfreak - as far as the spare tyre consider if you need it. We had a spare tyre kit from a previous Mk 3 Jazz but as you know it can’t be fitted in the boot of a MK4. Yes having a spare can give you peace of mind, but in reality if you have a puncture the tyre sealant kit may or may not work and you could put your spare on. However, would you do that yourself or get the breakdown service to do it for you which is much safer in most circumstances. Breakdown services, I believe, usually carry a universal fitting kit as a temporary spare to get you to a suitable destination although obviously you would need to drive carefully.
When we changed to a Mk4, I actually sold the spare and fitting kit. In the end you can weigh up the pros and cons and decide for yourself what you want to do.
-
When I got my Mk4 I ordered a full size spare wheel and toolkit which I keep in the boot, not had much problem when doing weekly shop or loading up for a tip run, when the Mk 4 was first released I went to view one and asked the salesman about the lack of a spare wheel, " Oh you just call out breakdown and they have a universal spare to fit, he will then follow you to a tyre repair centre" late at night, or early hours, miles from anywhere, I don't think so, what a load of faff, having a spare will hopefully have me on my way much quicker
-
Here is my full sized spare in the boot. It fits quite snugly, still leaving quite a bit of luggage space.
I dont think you will find it suitable on the rear footwell with the magic seat up. Its not secure and on the mk4 the magic seats reduce rear visibility.
-
Tombola - its true if you are travelling at particular times or places it could be more inconvenient to not have a spare with you but for most local and day to day journeys it really isn't. However that's a choice we all make individually ( if there is room in the car for one) and if necessary by all means carry a spare. As I said it can give peace of mind but without opening the debate on pros and cons of carrying a spare, tyre sealant, and perhaps potential pothole problems, many people rarely get punctures over many years and if they do they are often slow punctures which can be dealt with when needed. Obviously, Jazzfreak must of course make his own decisions on this. If Jazzfreak is going to carry a spare it certainly is safer to carry it in the boot as some do rather than in the rear with seat up up. Having the seat up can very slightly reduce rear vision as LV says, compared to the MK3 and you don't want a loose wheel there in an accident either although you probably could restrain it some way.
-
Don't know about the braking as I've had no problem. As to the auto hand brake, it's brilliant. You push the little green button before you move off in D and the handbrake comes on when ever you stop, like for a light.
As a dedicated handbrake user, I like this. The dealership should show you all the little driving bits before the test drive.

Cobb, I agree with your comments, being old school I just feel I have to have a spare, hope I never need it ;)

Interesting! I’ve got a Jack and wheel brace/wrench. But..not that cover. Looks nice and tidy. Where did you get that cover? And is it called a spare wheel cover? I mean is that it’s actual function or is it something you’ve adapted?. Many thanks and I see you’ve secured it with a strap.
-

What! Is that right? Wow, I didn’t know that. Nobody tells you these things,well they didn’t tell me that when I bought my Mk 3.
It came with a service plan and I found out the breakdown cover came with that plan( just by accident).
Maybe the new car has a service plan? I don’t know .
But I am not buying from a Honda dealership so they probably don’t know or care!

The middle section: Brake hold? So the brake hold maintains brake pressure. So you don’t need to apply/ release handbrake.. ok got that..but when you drive off do you need to release ‘brake hold?’ If so then it’s just the same as a handbrake then ? I’ve probably misunderstood. Or when you start to move the brake hold deactivates?
Sorry for all the questions. And yes first automatic. Is there a biting nails/scared emoji?
-
Oh and it took me 12 months to learn how to deactivate that flaming tyre pressure warning light which came on when on longer journeys and was false most of the time except once.
And I noticed on my test drive for the one I am buying the old tyre warning light was illuminated! I pointed it out to the salesman but he didn’t know how to deactivate it (Peugeot dealer :D)…so I will now need to find out that again,.,unless he has sorted it prior to delivery.
-
The brake hold is fully automatic, you don't need to press the brake pedal, and only press the button once to turn it on. You are braked until you press the accelerator, and the next stop you are automatically braked again.

I take it you mean that obviously I brake to stop the car and the brake hold kicks in and then you can just drive away without releasing the brake hold.. so in effect it cuts out the need for the handbrake totally?
Excuse me being an ignoramus.
You all seem to love this hybrid/ auto thingamyjig…. Fingers well and truly crossed.
Thanks all so far. I bet I will have more questions :)
Really appreciate it

I got it on Ebay. Purpose made. . Search under 'spare wheel bag' or 'spare wheel cover' and you will find loads of listings ,some in different styles and materials .. Mine is made with a non woven material but is quite strong. There are different sizes so find a listing for the wheel and tyre size for your car. £10 -£11 inc postage. (I paid £8 in 2021 >:( ) For safety reasons I strap it down ,one end to a luggage tie down loop in the rear left hand corner of the boot and the other to an ISOfix loop normally used to secure child seats. Its located where the seat back hinges forward ,the photo gives a clue where its located. The Isofix loop is plenty strong enough but does move forward if you fold the seatback down. And maybe not an ideal arrangement if you actually need to fit a child seat.

My other vehicle is a robotised manual that I always drive in Auto mode. I always prefer to drive automatics. It annoys me when my other vehicle is in for its annual service and MOT, and the only loan car available always is a manual one. Every year it takes a while to get used to pressing the clutch, changing gear manually again, and it involves some jerky "bunny hop" starts, and almost stalling the engine. During the long trip home and back I'm praying there won't be a stop-start traffic tailback on the motorway.
I used to have manual sports cars and a rally car, so in those days I enjoyed that experience. Nowadays I hate this kind of primitive throwback. It doesn't suit modern congestion on the roads I use. When the Jazz goes in for service I don't need a loan car so I am spared this ordeal.
Direct electric drive and the single gear used by the Jazz is bliss. The transition between different electric and ICE drive modes is seamless. I just hope it stays reliable, now that the failed brake feel simulator module has been replaced.

I am guessing nothing will happen whilst driving? Yes,a stupid question/scenario I know but…I just love a hefty pull up handbrake. :)
Cal me old fashioned…. :'(
I have tried pulling the electric handbrake of my Jazz while driving. If you pull it up and quickly let go, nothing happens. If you pull it up and hold it up, then it slows the car down with the brakes of all 4 wheels, similarly as if you pressed the brake pedal down firmly. It can be used as an emergency brake by the passenger, if the driver for example faints while driving. Just make sure no one is driving close behind you before trying it.
-
Applying the handbrake while driving is also a perfect trick to remove rust from the brake discs.
Of course, we all understand that this trick should only be used in situations where it can be done without any risk to yourself or fellow road users!
-
Ok taken delivery of my 2023 Mk4 and,yes,lovely drive but getting used to all the gubbins on the ‘infotainment’ system. Mind blowing and I reckon most unnecessary.
Anyway I digress. Can I call on collective brains here?
How do I adjust the direction of spray for the front windscreen washers please? They are different from older cars on which I used a pin or something.
And secondly no water coming out of rear washer. I know it’s been cold etc but it’s now 5c-6c and still nowt.
Don’t really want Honda to have it for a whole day to rectify this…but probably no choice.
Thanks as always for advice.

I believe there is a special tool for adjusting front washer jets and even with that they are quite difficult to adjust, on my car the drivers side jet sprays water further up the screen than the passenger side jet, looks normal to me. With the rear washer keep the switch turned until water appears there can be a short delay
-
Its been pretty cold overnight and summer mix may still be frozen in the pipes, despite it rising to +6c at times. I'd try sitting the car in the sun for a bit longer and maybe heating it up as much as possible. Even consider careful use of a fan heater etc if you can. This might solve the rear washers and the front aim. Then make sure some winter mix has been pumped through.
If adjustment is required bear in mind plastic bits can become brittle in cold weather.
-
Even with “antifreeze screen wash “the rear wash nozzle does seem prone to blocking up in freezing conditions on the Jazz..
-
I have put antifreeze in the washer. Maybe there was just water before?
I have put 50/50 concentrate and water as usual. Maybe someone else can assist with the front windscreen washer jets?
-
I always use ready mixed minus 20c in winter. This may seem over the top but some of the all season types sold in the UK are only good for minus 5C . Scotland has already had minus 11 this winter. And front screens can get get colder still with wind chill.

This is a Civic but looks similar to a Jazz

Blimey,what a palaver. Thanks for the link. People having to make tools? Give me a break. Surely it can’t be that difficult can it?
I will take it in to be done under the warranty. For goodness sake. Then I will pick brains
-
I have had cars where even with a good strong winter mix the more volatile ingredient (alcohol?) could evaporate overnight from the the exposed fine nozzle tips leaving a tiny amount of plain water that then froze the tip. Once the tips were warmed up and winter mix began to flow through them this speeded up the defrosting .Spray pressure and pattern improved. And you may not even have winter mix yet in the pipes.
Storm Bert is set to raise temperatures into the teens over the weekend ,even overnight. I would wait and see if this fixes them before going any further.

He didn't "make" any tools? any suitable flat blade screwdriver will do. I do agree that the universal cheapening of maufacturing parts is making small problems niggling. We used to have a ball joint on the washers which made them very easy to direct exactly where you wanted.

You are right, the chap in the video didn't make any tools, I had read on a forum a chap was finding it difficult to adjust his jets so he made a tool to make things easier, on reflection the Jazz jets are a bit different than the Civic in the video, just been out to mine and tried to raise the height of the passenger side jet but the body of the jet flexes, the jet seems very stiff so I gave up, don't want to break anything, in this picture you can see where the jet adjusts up/down

Great! An early Xmas present! I am sure you will love it. Easy to drive but as I am of a certain age there is a lot to take in regarding all the features and displays. I am just keeping it simple and not activating too many of them. As suggested earlier the ‘brake hold’ seems to be beneficial.

I find things easier to learn and make more sense when physically sitting in the car able to 'play' with controls.
The fact you are on here , and even know what an Emoji is, means you already have an advantage over some older technophobe drivers confronted with a modern car ;D
You quite often see a string of digits in posts suggesting someone tried to use private or keyboard shortcut emojis

This may be a question for the Site Help and Feedback Forum (https://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?board=71.0) or maybe Apple?
On second thought: Why don't you PM @Jazzik? (he seems quite adept at using emojis to me)

iPhone emojis come out as hieroglyphics on most forums I visit so not unique to here

Appears like an "Apple vs real world problem" to me :D

Update: ( for those who are slightly interested ;D)
Visited Honda ref washer jets and a very kind lady mechanic fixed the angle of the front ones very delicately with some sort of adapted screwdriver and admitted that they are an issue on the Hondas. Success!
Booked in for the blocked rear washer under warranty,however they will charge me if it’s blocked because the screen wash has turned into a gel type mixture (the service reception man says he only uses water due to this potential problem)..
And finally just learnt that service books aren’t issued anymore. (I couldn’t find mine). You get a paper receipt which you use as proof.

I have been searching the web for where I read a tool had been made to adjust the jets, can't for the life of me find it, apparently they can be quite tricky to adjust as they are quite hard to move, it looks like they have a ball joint fitting

You can check your car's service record online under https://www.honda.co.uk/cars/owners/digital-service-record.html
(I'm somewhat surprised that Honda UK seems to insist on a "Honda account" whereas the digital service record in Switzerland requires only a VIN: https://www.de.honda.ch/services/dsr )

Honda Poland the same, just VIN: https://www.honda.pl/account/services/dsr/vin-search
