There’s a big learning curve in understanding modern cars versus old school ones. These days so much tech upgrades involving many sensors and built in software.
We got a new Kia last year and compared to the predecessor there are many differences to adjust to. Why some are there baffles me. They seem like overkill. Some good ones though.
I wanted to move the car on the drive, only by a couple of feet. Jumped in, started the car ( push button with clutch in and smart key) put in gear. Car wouldn’t move. Handbrake ( electric) still on. Tried the buttons. No joy. I had to fit the seatbelt to release the handbrake. OK, but why? To prevent numpties driving without a seatbelt? There are other systems that make me wonder too.
Ah well, thats progress I suppose. But the car does have a dipstick! For the engine not sitting in the driver’s seat...behave yourselves.
