Apology accepted. About the no manual thing, think how long ago PC software makers gave up on manuals. As the person in the office who used to read the reference manual cover to cover, and then tell everyone else how to use the newest spreadsheet, I hated it. (Young folks will have no idea that in my working life I went through Visicalc, Multiplan, Symphony, Lotus 123 before getting to Excel - and I have probably forgotten a few. I've also forgotten the names of the pre-Word word processing equivalents). I have no real objection to reading the F Pace manual on screen. What I think is a bit disappointing is that it doesn't come on the vehicle screen or on an Android app (BMW do that), and you don't get a personalised version specific to the spec of your car.
Next instalment on the Park Assist front - 'they are working on new software for the vehicle, they hope it will be out soon and they hope it will solve this problem'. i.e. this item of equipment which I paid for as an optional extra is actually vapour-ware which does not yet exist. It begs the question of whether there are other specification options which I didn't pay for but which are actually present in the vehicle and could be switched on by someone who knew how.
Back to the literal words of the thread title - I've done 650 miles in the week I've had the car and I really enjoy the Head Up Display which shows speedo, speed limit and cruise setting, and Nav instructions if on, the adaptive cruise and the well implemented Auto Hold and Stop Start.
I have never experienced emergency auto braking although this is not my first car which is supposed to have it. I read lots of tales of it causing danger, but I am reluctant to turn it off in case one day I actually need it.
Yesterday I was drowsy enough to need to stop for a rest. I tried to make the drowsiness monitor notice that I needed to stop (joke, sort of), but failed to get a 'recommended to stop' message.
