You have a tyre pump in the boot. I didn’t know this till I investigated at the weekend. Handy to know!

September 12, 2015 at 22:15 #23231Awesome tip Big277wave!!! Who knew!?
December 10, 2015 at 16:01 #25038I’ve replaced the Headlamp Bulbs (main beam) with a pair of Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs. H7 fitment. £13 for a pair, from a well known auction site. Massive improvement with a nice bright white light.
As the winter has set in, I’ve also found that a very inexpensive pair of Asda’s finest ‘Premium’ rubber mats fit very well, with minimal trimming, at just £12 for a full set.
Hope this helps others to get through the cold, dark winter months..
December 12, 2015 at 15:07 #25084Picked up New Zoe Nav Dynamique yesterday and a new tyre learning symbol appears on the dash, Any thoughts, not in the handbook which I think has not caught up with the car? Thanks
December 12, 2015 at 18:25 #25088Picked up New Zoe Nav Dynamique yesterday and a new tyre learning symbol appears on the dash
Its another ‘Lost in translation’ from Renault, actually means ‘monitoring tyre pressures’
any time you inflate a tyre you should carry out the below sequence to get the system to ‘learn’ the new pressure.With the tyres at the right pressure (36 psi) set the dash display at the “Learning Tyre Pressures”
press both the buttons on the right hand stalk at the same time until the “Learning …” message pulses
now the current tyre pressure is set as reference value, so in case one of the tyres goes below that value you’ll get a message on the dash.So in conclusion message will always show “Learning Tyre Pressures” (unless a tyre pressure goes low)
December 12, 2015 at 22:59 #25093Thanks Mo, Is this a function of the new Nav, because I have never come across it in the last Zoe, having topped up the tyres over a two year period? Have I also mixed it in the new Nav handbook which appears to be identical to the last Zoe handbook, with no mention of the fact that the car has a new motor,small detail.The tyre icon is new to me,thought I’d waded my way through all the toy graphics over the years, the only one I take note of really is the “Direct Consumption ” How is it monitoring tyre pressure,is it using sensors ala Californian law?

In my Handbook its on 2.12 for TPMS info.Attachments:

While we are on the subject,haven’t checked the Nav yet for another perhaps “Lost in translation”
When attempting to play podcasts via Bluetooth,I find it takes about a mile of driving before Zoe completes the “Handshake” with the mobile phone,then if you switch off and pop into the shop, the whole procedure has to be repeated.If I give up on Bluetooth and plug into Aux, via the phones headphone socket,this will not output the speakers unless Bluetooth is disabled, thus loosing your hands free phone call facility.
Getting back to the TPS technology I remember reading years ago that it may have been a N.Ireland invention, we have only ourselves to blame,but I guess we will learn to love it.Thanks for your thoughts and observations. -
