in my bmw m4 i just got rid of you could...you had two preset modes on your steering wheel. i hade 1 mode for touring and mode 2 was performance everything with traction and stability disabled
According to what I have read, Race 2 only helps with traction when exiting a corner.does race 2 mode give you a bunch of angle or does it reign it in pretty quick?
If you watch the ICONS video...he very clearly explains it's all real noise in the CT5.Are you sure about that? I recall at the the Sewell v club q&a this spring, Brandon Vivian told us these did have sound piped in and he said it as he was starting up the 5. But he made sure to tell me it’s actual sound from a microphone, not fake sound…
The V Mode button is the same as the M buttons in a BMW M model. It has a traction control setting that can be saved in that mode. You just get 1 button instead of 2 like a BMW.in my bmw m4 i just got rid of you could...you had two preset modes on your steering wheel. i hade 1 mode for touring and mode 2 was performance everything with traction and stability disabled
Awsome man. Thanks that helps. I wasn’t sure if you could save a mode that you had created.The V Mode button is the same as the M buttons in a BMW M model. It has a traction control setting that can be saved in that mode. You just get 1 button instead of 2 like a BMW.
Very easy but it is far enough over to never worry about a mis shiftDoes anyone feel like it's very easy to get into reverse? No ring/downward pressure required? I'm sure it's locked out (can others confirm?) when moving forwards. But it still seems strange. I've never had anything other than cheap manuals though so maybe this is normal.
Love the car, will post some pics soon.
Reverse has a lockout solenoid. You aren't getting it into reverse when the car is moving forward.Does anyone feel like it's very easy to get into reverse? No ring/downward pressure required?

Definitely sounds like something is either loose or obstructed. Even dust or an errant leaf can wreak havoc sometimes. Rain too, but I'm guessing you don't see much of that out there.Has anyone had any issues with the drivers assist system? On a long haul today (220 miles round trip) and around 1250 miles, I got some messages that said the side view blah blah wasn't available which I thought was due to extreme sun on the camera. Then a little later, the front collision system was unavailable. Then it said to Service Driver Assist System. I tried to turn on LKA and it would not turn on and said not available.
A while later (about 30 miles id say), it all came on and functioned properly which tells me its a short or loose fuse or something.
Then when I got home I happened to be sent my December onstar diagnostics report. I thought "cool, it knows I had a problem." Nope, no indication that onstar saw any of this, but it did a pretty good job of telling me my onstar service plan has an issue.
Just checking to see if anyone else has had this type of issue with this system or any other system that has sensors.
Is it possible that you have Passive Door Lock turned on with the horn chirp?Does anyone know how to turn off the "feature" where the car honks if you walk more than a couple feet away without locking the door? It's fine with me if it self locks, but I don't need the noise. Particularly when I'm in a garage.
Is the key fob with you when this happens or in the car?Does anyone know how to turn off the "feature" where the car honks if you walk more than a couple feet away without locking the door? It's fine with me if it self locks, but I don't need the noise. Particularly when I'm in a garage.
You can set it up in the settings, I am pretty sure. I wanted mine off because I park in my garage and didn't want it honking every time I parked the car in the garage. I also have my side mirrors fold up when the car locks.... that is more than enough indication for me that the car is locked.
Lol oh man I know we were gona get some flack for that but it makes it faster and better and a lil sacrifice for performance to stand at gas station 5 min is not bad. However I know your an enthusiast and are driving it right so it says 150. When you put it in cruise for long trips you ll get 300 or more just dont cruise at 100 lol.@Mirza Grebovic
How can you be so cruel as to put a gas tank this small in this car?
Needs a 23 gallon tank minimum.
I'm getting about 150 miles out of each tank and that's during break-in.
I'm going to be fueling every other day after I pass 500 miles.![]()
Agreed - it's a good trade off and the car gets mid 20s on the highway so 400+ miles when I need it (never?) is just fine.Lol oh man I know we were gona get some flack for that but it makes it faster and better and a lil sacrifice for performance to stand at gas station 5 min is not bad.

Here is my CT4 story. After track days 118 with full tank. But 11hr ride to VIR and only one fill up, hit high 400 per tank driving down there.
