We have a 2019 KIA Niro PHEV with a couple of fatures that bothers the **** out of us!
I have driven many other cars privately and through my work, and this is the only one that has these annoying settings for this.
Auto Hold - Turns off every time I turn the car off, so I have to manually activate it every time I start the car. Other car brands most often remembers the last state and starts that way. I have asked the local KIA dealer, but they had no clue other than the technician saying it works that way on his KIA that is another model. So does anyone know if it is possible to activate "last state" or perhaps "always on at start" in the vehicle coding?
Parking Sensors - They are on when starting the car, good enough, and deactivates when I reach a certain speed, I actually don't know why this is necessary. But when lowering the speed and wants to park the car, they are NOT automaticly activated again. This is the most annoying thing with the whole car. All other cars I've driven activates them automaticly when trying to park. Several times we've bumped into things thinking it should warn if I get too close, but no. The **** thing is turned off. And again the local KIA dealer doesn't know, and yet again the same dude says it's like that on his KIA model. So is there any way of coding the car to automaticly activate it again?
From what I've understand other KIA models have these two features in the way we want it (since the technician says that), so why not on KIA Niro...? Or why not a setting in the settings so I can set it the way I want it?
