Me too! It's like a cute little wave!I like little dance headlights do when you start the car at night
Of course there is, but since the cars have active lights, it will be a OBC thing and in a software menu. There won’t be a little slider wheel behind the HLIs there any adjustment available on the LED's to improve range? What if for eg if the alignment is out and fails an MOT? There must be something to readjust?
Is that definite? The GT86 had the same automatic levelling sensor arm, but there was a screw in each headlight cluster which could be used to adjust the headlight aim. I know this because at my first MOT, they said it was aimed too high (not that I'd changed it), and adjusted them lower. Too low. So I had to go out and adjust them slightly higher again. Are the LED clusters definitely only auto adjusting?
I looked in the manual and it wasn't in there, but it is in the US manual, but I can't figure out if that only applies to their base model which doesn't have the adaptive headlight. It may be worth a look, it may be that its not in the manual as we aren't 'allowed' to do it, only specialist grown ups can adjust it.

Went through automated car wash today. Hey it is a Toyota after all
(Probably utter blasphemy on this platform). It was supposed to happen at some stage.
Also had to put 95 octane petrol today first time as bloody motorway to the super petrol is closed for several evenings. On the bright side past 900 miles and the engine is run in pretty much.

While driving I have noticed 2nd airbag off light illuminated. So yesterday, I spent 10 minutes going through manuals trying to find a way to switch on passenger side airbag. Then, my passenger sat in the car, light changed to indicate all airbags on

.Ohhh this has solved something for me thanks - wondered why that friggin light was always onWhile driving I have noticed 2nd airbag off light illuminated.

That light is bloody annoying. I think I posted somewhere else, that it's too bright and sitting almost at eye level. If you're driving on a dark motorway, it's incredibly irritating to have it in your periphery.While driving I have noticed 2nd airbag off light illuminated.

I bought some of those Light Dims stickers for dimming annoying LEDs, and stuck one over the area that was illuminated. Problem solved....until the next time I went on a drive at night and my girlfriend was in the car with me - the fact she was sitting in the passenger seat meant the light changed slightly and illuminated outside of the spot I'd already covered. So I had to adjust the sticker.
Complete faff. Really think it's a poor piece of design to have something constantly illuminated that high up in the cabin. Wish it was lower down in the dash like the old car.

Why do you even need to be notified? If it senses someone sitting there and activates, then should only get any sort of info if there is an error with it!
Same with bings and bongs, if my door is open, I opened it, if the ignition is still on I know, if my seat belt isnt on, Im aware of that! FFS

It's amazing how different things really annoy different people. I haven't even noticed that light at all, despite, thanks to it being winter, having driven my car more in the dark than daylight. It could be to do with seating position, and I've just been lucky that I don't notice it (I'm going to blame you now though if I start to notice it!).

It's the first car at night I've dimmed the dash lights in normal use. Normally only do it if I'm pushing on and want to reduce distractions.

I notice that light and it's quite annoying and completely useless (just for regulations, I guess). I just keep forgetting to put some tape over it.
It didn't bother me at first as I was driving on street-lit roads, so it was barely noticeable.
But the drive back from my parent's place, which I often do late at night, is largely along completely unlit sections of the A11/M11. So I tend to dim the dials and turn off the head-unit screen for minimum distraction. It's then that I started to notice it, just in the corner of my eye.
