I have 4 questions i was hoping you may know the answer right away. Really appreciate it.
  1. My 2017 f sport has a cut out for the headlight washer but couldn't find the button to activate it anywhere. I assume mine does not have it.
  2. How does land keep assist work? Because sometimes i tried and my steering wheel did not vibrate. Even when i change the sensitive level to sensitive but i feel like its off when my car is off. I have to press the LKA button twice to activate it again.
  3. The precollision button on the steering wheel. when i pressed, it didn't show anything on the screen. Does it suppose to show something?
  4. Trunk sensor L logo, it seem like it takes a while to activate. I give up pressing the button most of the time. Especially when my car is locked, the first "hand" at the logo just to unlock it, then i have to "hand" again to get it opens
Thanks very much for your help

!. The headlight washer works when the lights are on and you first use the spray function. It does the wind sheild also. After the first pull it does it ever 4th or 5th ( I forget) pull,

2. Check options for vibrate, probably turned off...after a while you might disable it again. Mine just beeps and I am on the fence to get rid of that as well.

3. Pre-collision lines show up when in cruise control....Might want to verify that! See post below, don't want you driving into the rear of someone! So as stated the "precollision buttons on the steering wheel" are actually adaptive cruise control lines. Pre-collision is set from the menu under the little "gear" symbol.

4. Trunk logo hates me to! Others it works fine. Dealer can set the sensitivity. I prefer mine not working that well because there are times I'm working in the garage with the door closed and I don't want it opening with the door closed.

3. I do not think it is a pre-collision button. It is a distance adjust button for adaptive cruise control.

Previously i had a NX. The nav screen has a session for weather. So i have my music on small top left and weather with a picture of the sun/rain/snow at the bottom left. The big right side is Map. I can't find weather anywhere to make the same set up.
I believe i can go deep into the menu to look at the weather but it is nice to have it show on the screen at all time.

Well in Canada they don't want us to know what the weather is or traffic conditions, so I can't help your there!

Lots of traffic stuck in the snow!

In Quebec it is illegal to hold a phone while at the wheel. And some are pushing to even make the hands free units illegal too because talking while driving is a too much distraction... (sheesh!)

They don't want us to be distracted by the screen either...

I'll be damed, I thought that those rectangles were merely fillers because it was not equipped with it... Tried it last night and they came out and made a big splash!

Nice! It's probably been working during wiper time and you didn't even know it!

Not sure on non-Fsport models, but the f-sport headrests articulate forward, not just up and down. Just found this out after a year when I stretched out to pull the headrest forward...it clicks three times forward towards your neck. Nice.

One day I will find the tubes that feed the headlight washer and crimp them so they never ruin my wax job again!

Of course you don't need them in Florida. For us Canadians, it is usefull to wash the melting salt deposite on them in the winter.

Oh and if you ever come up here to ski in the winter, don`t forget to remove your cramping clips before!

Good feature.
How did you perform the "over the air update"? Is it a enform thing? I'm in Canada and the 2016 model shuts the system off at 40 kph
