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 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 have to agree with Coldstart about the gauge in front of the driver. I'm happy with how it adjusts its brightness automatically. It's just the larger infotainment / satnav display that sometimes feels too bright or too dim, which makes me want to sometimes adjust it manually. Most of the time it works well, and overall I'm quite happy with the car.

Perhaps I find the turning signal annoying, because the car is otherwise so quiet when sitting at traffic lights without the engine running.

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 ahavoja

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."

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  :(

See here...

Honda Jazz e:HEV is it's a good car (that's why I bought it  :D ), but the 2025 model has major software issues, I stand by that.

Thanks, the volume on mine was set at Min so I set it to Max, no noticeable difference with the indicactor volume

I 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.

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

Yes, that's the only way to cancel that annoying signal - turn it off before every ride.
But you can't have the sound turned off and notifications on the display at the same time.

Another thing - I'm just looking at the manual (p. 312) and it says:
- "Setting the display of the traffic sign recognition system"
- "Warning of the traffic sign recognition system for exceeding the speed limit*"
- "Sound signaling of a change in the speed limit"

But my car doesn't have:  "Warning of the traffic sign recognition system for exceeding the speed limit*"...???

My 23 Crosstar I've had for two months is mildly annoying.

I need two pushes of the button on the steering wheel to get it to show MPG etc.

Then press "brake hold" then three pushes to remove "lane mitigation" and get it back to mpg, before I can move off.
But I have to do this every time I start the car.

It annoyed me the other day.

I backed into our drive and it wouldn't let me put in park, as it said, "I was too close to the side fence!"
so I had to move it out a bit.

I also don't need to be told when it spots a 20mph sign in a side street that I had no intention of turning into,
or a couple of pedestrian up ahead it thinks are too close to the kerb.

I don't understand why it wouldn't let you put it in park

I park in my garage with the nearside just inches from the garage wall and mine goes into P every time

Also, mine has never picked up any side street speed signs. When I first got it I was expecting a few error spots but I've been pleasantly surprised
Let's be careful out there !

Re Stani's original post.  Maybe I am too easy going but I havnt changed any alarm sound levels. I am happy to tolerate the default settings . 

The warning display not to fiddle with things whilst driving switches itself off after only 4 seconds.  If you cant bear to wait that long simply press the button.   I think its more annoyance at being repeatedly told something you already know.  >:(  But the next driver may not actually be you. They wouldnt get the warning if you have disabled it.  And unfortunatly experience has shown there are many idiots out there who need to be told such things, even if they chose to ignore the advice.

I find indicator volume about right when travelling at  speed, maybe a little loud when stationary, (when the car is  otherwise silent)  . But tolerable.   

I think you have got it the wrong way round regarding Toll Roads.   Toll roads, vignette roads,  motorways, unpaved roads, U turns etc are all "Avoidances"  .  You tick the box of those you wish to avoid.    Unchecking a box means you are happy to use them.   This is the same on the new  'Here' satnav and the previous Garmin.

Personally I have no issue with the speed alarm. I soon developed  'selective hearing' .  I subconsciously pay attention to the alarm if I inadvertently exceed the limit. The other day the car behind me was a police van, and despite being extra careful to keep to the limit I inadvertently exceeded it by a couple of mph now and again . The beep was as useful warning.   ;D      If I deliberately chose to exceed the limit  (If I think the real limit is actually higher, or occasionally a bit of  :P )  its easy enough to ignore the maximum of  3 beeps which stop once you reach your chosen speed , naughty or not.         
My IQ test came back negative

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

Lord Voltermore: so everything is completely fine, including the fact that if you don't turn the brightness on the driver's side almost to the highest value, then you won't see anything on the main display at night.   ???
You are a lucky man.  ;)

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.
