So, we were out driving in our Insight, running errands, when three things happened that completely flummoxed us.
Here are the three mysteries.
1. The Case of the Disappearing Symbols
2. The Case of the Indicator That Never Changed
3. The Case of the Lit-Up Garage
We finally figured out all three mysteries (I think). Two of them we’ve decided are inherent flaws in the Insight’s interface design.
I wonder how you all, members of the Honda Insight Detective & Enforcement Agency (H-IDEA), would solve the cases!
Hope they provide some fun!
Here are the three mysteries.
1. The Case of the Disappearing Symbols
The LKAS and ACC green indicators disappeared en route. Vanished! Gone. That was upsetting, and made us think that we are about to experience a software meltdown. Plus, we had no idea how to turn them back on.
2. The Case of the Indicator That Never Changed
We turned on the headlights for the first time, and the dashboard symbol never changed as we switched the headlight setting from parking lights to auto to headlights. That behavior confused us greatly; it gave us no feedback as to what we had selected; and we could not tell whether we had our headlights on or not. It then made us think the indicator system was broken.
3. The Case of the Lit-Up Garage
When we returned home and pulled into our garage, the back of the garage was lit up like a Christmas tree, even though we had turned off our lights—and confirmed that by looking at the stalk control and seeing it in the OFF position.
We finally figured out all three mysteries (I think). Two of them we’ve decided are inherent flaws in the Insight’s interface design.
