Thanks for the tip, Chief! Now I finally have a reason to turn on the updates...Mine hasn't had any glitches since picking it up in May and I have NO reason to roll the dice. Well, maybe now! Even the Celsius on the Weather isn't enough. Hey, has that been fixed too?? Maybe the combo would inspire me.

Hmm, I haven't had the celsius issue. I did at first on the in control phone app but that's probably something else.

Great review, thanks so much. How did the sides get so dirty with the large classic mud flaps?

Not sure if this was added during one of the recent OTA updates or maybe we always had it and neither of us noticed before. Thank you LR for adding this functionality!
FYI, this feature has always been there, it's documented in the Owner's Manual (Adaptive Cruise Control - Switching Follow Mode Off). Basically, press and hold the gap reduce button to turn off the adaptive features (vehicle will no longer brake or accelerate automatically to maintain the gap, driver must do so like a regular cruise control), press and hold the gap increase button tu turn adaptive cruise control back on. The icon changes accordingly in the instrument cluster. No update needed, if you have ACC this feature is baked in.

Thanks Bob, I should've read up on it. Was the pop up message always there too?

Dang! I started reading the Owners Manual and got well thru it. Then I kind of stopped. Too soon obviously! Tried it this a.m. and beautiful. Thanks Chief & umbertob. Time to spend random time flipping thru it again.
