Auto Heated Screens at 4c..? - couplands - 12-12-2016 09:54am
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere ( cant find it), just point me at the post if so
On my Disco4 the front & rear heated screens come on automatically at 4c or below.
My Evoque Sd4 does not do this. I cant find a setting to enable it.
Is there such a setting..? If so where..? Or is this not a feature on the Evoque..?
cheers

MY RRS also switches on the screen and mirror heaters automatically at 4C. I never found a switch on either of my Evoques but the mirrors used to heat automatically. I haven't owned an Evoque for 2 years now but is there a button labelled MAX on the heater controls? On the RRS it is above the buttons for the front and rear heated screens. Sorry I cannot answer your question about Evoques!

Mine (2016) has a setting for this in the menus. So it might be a feature of the later cars?

It could be, ours is a 2015 model.
A friend has a 2016 Disco Sport and has a menu option too.
I'll just have to push the buttons myself...

My MY16 Dynamic Lux does this too. I think it's a feature from MY16 on.

It's just getting more and more complicated to operate a car these days..........

My 2015MY RRS has the worst possible idea for switching the front seat heaters on..... press a button on the dash, that opens a page on the touch screen, press the temperature setting you want, exit screen............... and you have to take your eyes off the road to do all this. There were so many complaints about this stupid system that 2016MY on went back to the old system of just pressing the centre of the climate control temperature rotary knob, so much easier and you don't need to look away from the road to do it!

For me, this is going a long way from the Land Rover ethos...shame really and I cant see me buying any more LR products while this trend continues.
But thanks for the help on my question (which is ironic when I'm complaining about too much complex stuff..
cheers
