5) the other assistant settings are also related to this - they can't be turned off permanently. Any excuse about EU regulations doesn't hold up: other brands have this option on new cars, e.g. under the "Personal settings" item or even using a physical button (e.g. Renault Captur, Dacia Bigster hybrid, etc ).
I think I’m lucky that my ‘23 Jazz doesn’t do anything too annoyingI know, it's pretty OK until about mid-2023. From the second half of 2023, FL started to be made...
1) every time the car is turned on, a "Warning" appears on the main display, it's annoying and there's no way to turn it off.I agree. This warning box also annoys me when I start the car and just want to type an address to the navigation system. It reminds me of those "We use cookies" banners on webpages.
3) I also mind the volume of the turn signals, but there's only the option "high", "medium" and "low", no scale from 0 to 10. I have it on low and it's still quite loud.I also wish there was a lower than "low" setting. I have it set to low. In slow city driving the turn signal sound annoys me enough that I don't want to leave it on for long periods of time, for example when waiting at traffic lights. However, on a fast, rough and loud motorway that "low" setting can be too quiet, and I can't hear whether my turning signal is on or off. It would be nice if it could automatically become louder when driving fast and quieter when driving slowly.
6) however, the worst experience is regarding the brightness setting of the (main) display: when the main display switched to night mode for the first time, nothing was visible on it at all, I thought it was broken!I don't like that the main display only has a day mode, and a night mode, and nothing between those two extremes. I wish that the display could gradually adjust the brightness depending on the weather or brightness of the sky. In the evening and morning there can be situations when the day mode is too bright but the night mode is too dim.
I know, it's pretty OK until about mid-2023. From the second half of 2023, FL started to be made...The facelift models made in 2023 (in Honda speak: model year 2024) don't have the speed alarm.

I have the speed warning but it’s only a visual flashing warning sign and no audible sound so I can choose to ignore it quite easily
All the other warnings I’m also quite happy with as they don’t intrude in every day driving

Starting with model year 2025 (that is: cars built from spring 2024 forward) did Honda comply with the new EU regulations and introduced the speed alarm.
Like ninanina I own a "pre-speed-alarm" MY24 facelift Jazz Advance built in 2023 and am enjoying it :)
Well, I guess not all manufacturers take the EU regulations seriously, see the posts above (Renault, Dacia, Citroen...), or is it different?
I’m just glad my Jazz missed out on all this shenanigans. I never feel the need to switch off anything so just hop in and off I goWell, I guess not all manufacturers take the EU regulations seriously, see the posts above (Renault, Dacia, Citroen...), or is it different?
All manufacturers have to meet the regulations strictly to be able to sell cars in the EU. They have leeway in how to implement switching them off once automatically activated on ignition..
I can't find any settings in the menu's to adjust the volume of the turn signals can anyone help?

I don't find the turn signal annoying just curious how to adjust the volume if there is an option in the vehicle settings as mentioned by ahavojaI can't find any settings in the menu's to adjust the volume of the turn signals can anyone help?

off topic:
I do consider this as a big homage to Honda's engineers if our formost problem is the volume of the turn signal :D
(I could tell you stories about failing exhaust gas recycling valves, faulty high pressure injectors, fraudulent exhaust manipulation measures and generally abismal "quality" at VW - all of which left to be paid by the trusty customers and we are talking here about thousands of pounds worth of repairs...)
back on topic:
I never ever found the turn signal in my MY24 (built 2023) Jazz annoying in any way.
Moreover, my impression is that the displays actually adapt automatically to ambient light conditions without my interfering in any way. I never felt "blinded" by them or unable to see them - they seem to adjust quite quickly even to short tunnels.
Addendum:
The "fine manual" for the MY24 says on page 159:
Brightness
The brightness of the gauge is automatically adjusted depending on the ambient brightness.
• The brightness dims when the ambient light is dark.
• The brightness brightens when the ambient light is bright.
You can change the setting even when the ambient lighting is bright, but the brightness of the gauge won’t change.
I can't find any settings in the menu's to adjust the volume of the turn signals can anyone help?
my MY24 (built 2023)OK, reduce the brightness of the driver's display to minimum or half, save it and wait until night falls and "see" what happens. :D :(
I never felt "blinded" by them or unable to see them ...
Thanks, the volume on mine was set at Min so I set it to Max, no noticeable difference with the indicactor volumeI can't find any settings in the menu's to adjust the volume of the turn signals can anyone help?
On the touch screen navigate to Vehicle settings > Meter setup > Alarm volume control.
There you can find 3 settings, and they affect the volume of various warning sounds, including the turn signals.
The Jazz user manual says (on page 311) that this setting "Changes volume level of all system warnings, door opening warning and indicator."
Thanks, the volume on mine was set at Min so I set it to Max, no noticeable difference with the indicactor volumeI did notice a slight difference in turn signal volume when I tried that setting, but indeed the difference is quite small, could even say barely noticeable.
There should be an option to set a scale of 0 - 10. Now it's useless.Thanks, the volume on mine was set at Min so I set it to Max, no noticeable difference with the indicactor volumeI did notice a slight difference in turn signal volume when I tried that setting, but indeed the difference is quite small, could even say barely noticeable.
Stani, I think the speed warnings can be turned off by disabling Traffic Sign Recognition, but needs to be done every time the car is switched on
Also, mine has never picked up any side street speed signs.
Mr Onion: But yeah, let it be there, but let there be an option to reduce it or turn it off permanently. Let it be an OPTION and not an OBLIGATION.
Also, mine has never picked up any side street speed signs.
Ours picks up EVERY side street speed sign, so keeps on telling us off for driving @29MPH in a 30MPH zone due to the sidestreets being 20MPH
Useless "technology" (read gimmick) that we dont need
ninanina: but it's impractical, connecting it with a cable (it doesn't work over wifi on most), having to place the phone somewhere in signal reception.
Sorry Stani I have no knowledge how you put an app on your Jazz as Ive never needed to use any apps in mine
I’m sure someone will come along with how to do it for you
This afternoon I start the car and drive (in the city), no "speed alarm" I look at the display and the indicator light for reading traffic signs is red - does anyone know what the red one means?It means the traffic sign recognition was (temporarily) disabled
I haven't set or changed anything before.
Well, at least I had a free ride. :D
On the next ride, it was back to “normal” (=so the roaring speed alarm).
Today for a change this screen appeared while driving. I have no idea what the symbol in the middle of the screen and the yellow symbols on the left side are.I think it means the camera is disabled and the symbols on the left are the safety features that are temporarily not working, Lane keep assist, RDMS etc, often occurs in freezing snow conditions
Again, I didn't set or change anything.
Maybe you should consult the owners manual?

It can be helpful to activate these explanatory texts in the settings, so you don't need to memorize what the symbol means.
Vehicle Settings > Meter setup > Warning message > ON

coldstart: but it doesn't address the cause. My windshield was clean, and I had washed the car the day before.

I can't fathom why Honda chose to not turn this setting ON by default!

okay, that's what I thought as it isn't exactly the season for the windscreen to get clogged by snow :D
I used "often occurs in freezing snow conditions" as one of the many examples why the symbols would appear, I'm glad some found it amusing, just trying to help, for more info RTFMToday for a change this screen appeared while driving.

Then you need to study the EU General Product Safety Regulation which says the warning messages need to be in local language. As not all European languages are supported in the car, then you, as the driver, have to make the decision to turn on.
I envy drivers in the USA, Australia, Japan. They don't have to deal with such nonsense.I have heard that they don't need to suffer from the speedometer deviation either. Here in EU, because of some regulations, the speedometers of all cars overestimate the speed by a few %.
If drivers had a choice of accuracy most would probably chose 100% accuracy. But then complain if they get more speeding fines for exceeding the speed limit slightly. I must admit in my Yaris I tended to drive to the speed shown on my standalone satnav rather than the car speedo. :-[ Living on the edge ! ;D
It would be nice if there was some way in the menu or software to calibrate the speedometer, to make it more accurate.
Where does the "speed alarm" sound actually come from?
coldstart: can you specifically state which system sounds are "welcome"?
I don't know at this point, I'm not sure, but it seems to me that these "system sounds" are coming from different places...
I wouldnt attempt to suppress or disable any speaker in this area in case it also reduces the ability to talk to and hear an emergency call centre.I have a simple answer to that: if I want to communicate with the emergency services, I just peel off the tape. ;)
but I've never had a problem with Android Auto
So we were dealing with the 'speed alarm' together with my good electrician and the Honda technician. They spent over an hour going through the wiring diagram, but it didn't help.If the experts are willing to spend over an hour trying to find a solution I think they know that finding a solution would be a skill they could then sell to many owners.
When I switched off today I noticed that I have a full “greenhouse”. I don’t know why or what happens next!Well, you will probably get the "weed-grower of the month" award next :D

I think it's just something like a way to cover the camera...
Which may have an effect on disabling other assistants connected to the camera, I think.
Now an ad has appeared: "permanently disabling the traffic sign recognition system (https://1url.cz/nJSIj)"...Great idea turning all the safety features off but have an accident and wave bye-bye to your insurance claim, "Oh just give me a minute officer while I remove the gaffer tape from the safety camaras" ::)

I dont think simply putting a piece of tape over the traffic sign recognition sensor would silence the speed bongs. The system uses a combination of gps location ,based on whatever speed has been input on the mapping, plus sign recognition if this is different and may be correct. But mapping may been input incorrectly or out of date and sign recognition is not infallible.
If a glitch whilst updating satnav maps has silenced the bongs does this not mean that satnav is fundamental to the bong system? Any hack to silence the speed alarm would also have to hack into the satnav. Rather you than me.
I dont see why anyone would want to silence a system that warns them they may be putting lives at greater risk or breaking the law. So what if it bongs at an indicated 30 mph when in reality you are only doing 27 mph? The speed limit is a maximum ,not a target. And if you want to take your full actual speed quota by exceeding your speedometer reading by a few mph (or more ) then simply ignore a few bongs . Its quite easy to develop selective hearing. ;D
Unfortunately most drivers believe they, and their car, are competent enough to quite safely exceed the speed limit . Especially young inexperienced males. The biggest lessons I learned from taking an advanced driving course was that nobody is ever as good as they think they are , and that the safe speed for the circumstances is often much lower than the applicable speed limit. (or much higher for a great driver like me :P ;) ;D ) Other opinions are available ;D
The audible "speed alarm" is (at least for me) a terribly annoying thing. I drive mostly in the city - where it is not worth turning it off before every ride, but at the same time it sounds very often.Yes, it was worse. The safety trend is slowly improving in the UK.
Until recently, all drivers drove without this "convenience" and what, was it worse on the roads?
