    Battery maintaining for lots of short trips and sitting for several days.

    I was trying to find information about the battery (12v) in the truck. I was trying to find out if it would benefit me to connect my Noco 1 amp from time to time for no other reason than I drive short trips and my truck sits for more than a week at a time in the summer when I'm riding the...

    Can you feel the regenerative braking doing its thing?

    I've noticed that under light braking there is a non linear feeling in the deceleration. It seems like slight changes in brake pedal pressure brings an uneven feeling of deceleration.

It's hard to tell and I guess it could be some sort of rain sensor or camera or something. I know there...

    Which light bulbs can be replaced without warning lights?

    subwoofer sound upon entering.

    When I get in the truck but before I start it (I think) I hear a subwoofer speaker like sound. Is that the ANC turning on or just the sub coming on or just something else? Anyone else notice this weird sound?
