Some things you notice only with time. Here are some that I really like because some people have apparently really thought along.
- As you know, the Grenadier sets off the alarm when you press the central button on the remote control. When I asked how to turn it off, the agent always answered that the alarm would after a while go off on its own. Of course it does.
But you can as well turn it off immediately by pressing the "Open" button on the remote control.
- The wiper-washer system has two nice features. First, water is sprayed onto the windshield first, and only then are the wipers turned on. Very nice, so the wipers don't run dry over the dirt. But what I find particularly clever is that a few seconds after the wipers stopped, they run one additional cycle over the windshield again. So any water that runs off afterwards is wiped away. That's clever.
- You can mute the radio by pressing the mute button. You can also turn it off completely by holding down the mute button.
- If you switch off the motor, the radio continues to run. But you don't have to turn it off manually: The moment you open the driver's door, the system asks if you want to keep the radio running. If you neither confirm nor decline, the radio turns off after a few seconds.
- Most of you might already know it, but I didn't: On the drivers door are two buttons to lock/unlock the doors. I first missed it on the dash panel.
- My first night drive was very nice. The lighting is top. And the center display looks great at night, especially with the "Navigator" app. Also the LEDs in the cockpit are subtle and present clearly but discreetly. I love it, it looks very good.
- Those who use Android Auto may have been frustrated that it only starts when you are online. After that, however, you can go offline and it continues to run. Only the Google Assistant doesn't work like that anymore, but I don't need it anyway.
Maybe someone knows how to start Android Auto without being online at all.
If you find some smart solutions and behavior please post it here. There is much that the manual does not mention.
formatting, wording
