'Show favourites' is another good command if you have them stored in that list
I haven't worked out how to scroll the list yet as it only shows 5-6

'Raise/Lower seat heat' and 'Set Temperature' are regular ones which are very convenient once the system is fully booted up

Thanks for the small incremental cruise control tip. As everyone has said I would never have twigged short for 5 and long for 1.

When using hands free calling. The manual states calls can be answered / ended by the centre screen. Use the centre button on the RHS of the steering wheel to answer & end calls, use track back to select mute, then select.

I may be over cautious, but I never list my home address as "home" on my satnav.

Why? When a car is stolen while away from home, odds on the home is unoccupied.

As I said, overcautious........🙂

My ‘Home’ is set three streets away from my actual home. Still on my usual route though.

You guys do not have the insurance, road tax or car registration docs in the glove box? Most likely all with your home address...

Definitely not! And I also have my "Home" a little way away from my house. I hope my near neighbour is at home if my car ever gets stolen.

In Sensus Nav screen tap the black bar horizontal bar at the top of the screen to toggle between present location and destination.

"I'm Hot" or "I'm Cold" raises or lowers temperature 1 deg.

No. None of those, but the service book is in there. 'If' my car were stolen, and it hasn't happened with an average of five cars owned at a time and 45 years of car ownership, and in the unlikely event that the thief was familiar enough with Sensus to retrieve or drive to 'Home', they would probably find lots of people waiting for them plus three rather vicious dogs if at night.

Bring it on!
