Dunno, probably just throw a dash warning, otherwise the roads would be littered with breakdowns, as most of the numpties driving tintops today NEVER check anything or even lift the bonnet

Exactly, got to say I have never got use to my Ford not having a temperature or oil pressure gauge it still seems all wrong to me and tbh I don't think I would cope with the CX lack of proper instrumentation but reliant on software and all that brings with it.

The good ladies GTI still has sensible dashboard instrumentation so we'll be hanging onto that one.

Peters Aero based car demonstrated what an absolute nightmare the software reliant electronics can be.
