Does anyone know if the Velar has also these sweeping turn signal indicators? was at the dealership yesterday, didn't figure it out..

 

[dc44back]

Yes, front and rear.

Cool 😎

They are called "animated indicators" just like the new Audi's. The effect can be turned on or off in the settings.

Does anyone know how to enable this on vehicles in the US?

 

[KRG]

I assume it's in the settings menu as VelarMan said. Are they disabled by default? I don't see why we wouldn't get them as lots of other cars have them.

 

[Guest]

Yeah I have searched more than I care to admit. I also cant find any mention of it in either the UK or US manual.

 

[KRG]

Strange.

Could be an option that can be coded on just have to figure out how to. Maybe check with your dealership. On BMWs you can adjust country specific settings.

If you want to turn off the seatbelt warning you have to click and unlock the seatbelt in consecutive motions quickly for 10 times supposedly

Unfortunately we don't have that option in the menu screen here in the US -- apparently it is against government regulations? Gah.

Also, thanks for the seatbelt notification trick mge -- worked for me, that damn notification was driving me crazy.

I need a seat belt trick for my Benz.

 

[Cheesy6]

Can you turn the indicator noise level up or down??

Spent 30 minutes online researching US regulations compared to UK.
Then decided to get a life. :shock:

I have read in other make/model forums that devices exist that allow the consumer to plug into the automobile's central systems (something normally done by the dealer) and alter the settings that the user interface on the touch screens might not access. Is there any insight yet on whether the Velar has been "decoded" so that the consumer could plug in and alter these settings on their own, there by passing the ownership of the issue from JLR to the automobile owner? While JLR might not enable the capability for the US to allow the vehicle to be sold, I bet it exists somewhere in the programming. I can't find any prohibition on the use of these cool turn signals if enabled by the owner of the car.

The German models have the animated indicators. In my opinion they look ridiculous and will be the 1st thing for me to turn off. What is this, hello world look at me I got LED indicators? We drove a century without and managed to mostly survive. Here in Germany you can be thankful if anyone is using there indicators at all. A weird habit of laziness is spreading.
