Ultra economy

Whitter, sorry to change the subject but how good is the high beam assist.

[whitter45]

In all honesty unless the road is completely unlit not very good but does work on country roads

for the cost it's worth having and now standard on fl with led headlights

How many indicated miles remaining do people get from a full tank. I expected 700+ but for some reason it didn't go above 475 when I filled up. Took ages before it dropped to 465, 450 etc, so I guessed it just hasn't worked everything out on the first full tank.

820 I have just got as a readout, first time I have filled up

Sound like it works perfectly and as intended to me. Why would you want full beam on on a partly lit road? And, as good as the technology is, you can hardly expect it to work when there are light sources that aren't from cars around.

Sounds about right.. as per the spec "High-beam assist automatically adjusts headlights from high-beam todipped-beam when another vehicle is approaching or when other ambient lighting is detected (i.e street lights) by
a camera on the interior mirror."

Miles remaining is based ensuing a combination of historical consumption and current journey consumption. Will probably take a tank or two to work out how you drive the car. FWIW I get an indicated 580-610 miles on my non-Ultra 2.0 manual with 26k miles

Probably worth mentioning what size tank you have ... I think the pre-Ultra was 65 litre 'stock' or you could opt for a 75 litre. Looks like the facelift is 72 litre...

Correct,my car is has the standard 65 litre tank. Ultra's come with a large tank (could never really understand why a supposedly more economical car had a larger tank!).

Still seems to pulling in good figures

On the way home yesterday I got the below - Traffic was pretty bad though
