Silly Sunday question
 

Why does the rear window heater switch itself on every time I start the car?

I am now personally programmed to switch it off as soon as I get going, but as soon as I stop and restart it comes straight back on!

I have had my CDTI 2004 Cony tourer for over 10 years now and never thought to ask before?

I think it's temperature dependent and can't be disabled mate I was wondering the same a while back

It comes on automatically when the outside temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius. It can’t be disabled by the user or via the dealer T4 system, but it can be apparently using TOAF. However it will be reset back the next time the car has a T4 session where the ZCS codes need to be rewritten, for example to change dealer options etc.

i agree with your comments about the horn buttons mr colvert. your not wrong there . :icon_lol:

It stops people being horn-happy and using it needlessly. No one takes any notice these days anyway. :icon_rolleyes:
So I would say a lot of thought went into placement of the horn buttons.

Ah Horns- there is a subject close to my heart-when I started on motorised two wheel transport two things became very obvious, 1. the horns on motor bikes/scooters were inadequate. 2. your likely nemesis was the Hillman Minx driven by a male wearing a flat cap and smoking a pipe. They never looked right ot left at T junctions. Now the advice in the Highway code was horns were only to be used in an emergency. Surely if you could avoid a emergency by using you horn?maybe maybe not. You will gather Im the man who sounds his horn on the approach side of the blind bend - just in case. Not every time and sure as eggs is eggs the occasions I fail to do some pillock is coming round the bend like ???? So I find the MGRover horn position ok for me and my peace of mind. I dont know what the official ruling on horns is in France, can you help Colvert? Chris S.

Ha !!!!!!

You can't even use them in need.----:snowball:


Your forte is being a bit of a wind up merchant of which there is a glimpse into quite a lot of your replies to other members.


:pillow::sissy::target:

Moi - I can't say I know what you mean! :snowball1:

And 3. Bikes (if, as I suspect, you started riding round about the same time as me) weren't fitted with brakes as standard :shocked:


PS yes you can switch the incredibly irritating auto rear screen heater off easily with TOAF :D
