    Nope, haven’t had that issue at all. What parts have you been struggling to get hold of?

    Have you tried what I put in my original post? That’s my only thought really, a proper system reboot. Let me know how you get on

    Was told it by someone on a forum. Works a treat, hasn’t moved from smart since I did it 😋

    There is a way around this now, mine stays on smart all the time. ie. Get in it in the morning and just drive off. I’ll post the instructions on here tomorrow. You do have to have the 06 update installed by the dealer first though.

      For everyone wanting their J7 to stay in SMART mode all the time and not have to select every time you start car try the following. For me it stays in smart even after turning off and restarting car.

      Select New Energy

      Go to Power saving mode

      Tap Forced

      Toggle forced power saving mode on

      Tap Smart

      Power off car then restart car

      Hope it works for you.

    I have had the PHEV model since the 02nd Sept and I’m very happy with it and despite being sceptical about hybrid vehicles in general i have to admit it’s saved me quite a bit of money.

    Agree with Rodrigo, it caught me out when I first got the car until I realised what it was

    Mine has done it once but it was because it picked up the flash of the red rear light on the back of a pushbike which was flashing, I assume the car thought it was a vehicles brake lights coming on right in front of me.

    Hi Sarah, I’ve had mine 2 weeks and I’ve done nothing but use the P button on the stalk when I stop and park, the parking brake has always worked and you can hear it deploy so, carry on as you are would be my personal advice.

    Thanks Mike. That’s really helpful. It was more of a complete boot cover i was specifically looking for, you know the type, with sides and a back on it but this is a good start. 👍
