The fuse box is on the side of the dash. Open the driver door and you will see the panel. Remove the panel and you will see the fuse box.

There are many GS owners online and you just need to know where to look. Most favour Facebook these days.

2017 Q4 map still not the most up to date but you will have to make do with it. If you are on Facebook, there are 2 GS groups on there that are much more active than on here.

Apparently there is recently a new map for the UK available. It costs approx £100 for the update though. You might able to look it up via naviextras.com

This does not concern UK models of the GS. It is for overseas GS where they apparently have a smart key. When this smart key is low on battery then it must be placed on top of this symbol to sense the signal.

No locking wheel nuts are standard. They are extras from the accessory range.

Mirrorlink is for Android devices and not iPhone. The best you can do with iPhone is connect Bluetooth to the car.

If you have the heating fan on, the outside temperature is displayed in the heating control section on the touch screen.

If you actually turn off the heating fan then the outside temp is also displayed on the heating widget on the home screen.

The outside temp is not displayed on the dash, it is only displayed on the touch screen.

Mine is also an automatic.

1. It is common for the GS to hang on to the revs i.e revs not dropping fast enough. Going up hill is not a problem for me but going up hill very slowly, for example, parking into a space is more difficult as the acceleration is either nothing or everything so it is hard to creep. Going up through the gears are not a problem but there is hesitation going from 2nd to 1st so at times already pulled out of a roundabout and the car is not in gear. Also if you switch to sports mode and manual shift down, it jerks at every downshift.

2. I don’t use the stop/start, I turn it off as soon as I get in. The times that I forgotten, the stop/start worked as it should.

3. Condensation yes it does appear to have bad condensation inside during the recent cold weather. Yes I get a bit of condensation inside the headlight but these are designed to vent.

4. Yes I have the same problem with the headlights beam. I made a comment on this problem a year ago. I even got to the point of changing my bulbs to supposedly better ones but much the same. The objects in front of car is bright white and clear but there is no distance to the beam. You can clearly define the edge of the headlight beam and anything beyond that is pitch black and you can’t see a thing. Last year I hit a big puddle just because I can’t see into the distance and too late to brake by the time I got to it. I couldn’t use my high beam as car was in the distance.

5. No problem with my Bluetooth connection to my phone. Perhaps have a 99% connection rate. 1% did fail to connect but just have to go into the Bluetooth menu and press connect to a paired device.

Think I will just go for some All Weather tyres when the OE tyres worn down a bit more.

Wife’s VX Mokka is currently running on winter tyres. As much as I like the GS in winter tyres but having 2 car with 2 sets of tyres and changing them is abit of a faff. So All Weather on the GS is my future plan.
