2 things about the SE that confuse me...

[David Comstock]

1. If I'm using the navigation and am on another screen (say Carplay) and I want to switch back to the navigation screen to look at my directions, I have to hit the Map button. Naturally, I think to hit the Nav button since I want to go back to Navigation, but doing that just allows me to input a new address... is it me or does anyone else find this counterintuitive?

2. Why as the driver can I not get out of the car and keep it running? Not sure why the car turns off?

thanks!

What does "running" mean for the SE? The electric motor starts up instantaneously, and there's no such thing as idling. Only reason to leave it "running" is to keep environmentals and entertainment going for more than 15 minutes for a waiting passenger, which can be accomplished by leaving the key in the vehicle and pushing the on button.

But yes, @F14Scott's Tikit is handy, I got them myself (mostly to disable seat belt warning from my dogs).

How long are you leaving your passengers? Just hit the comfort climate button.

The "comfort climate" is not the same as having full, manual control of the HVAC. I find it too weak during extreme temperatures. And, it's also nice to leave the radio on.

Yep - I used that bottle opener to keep my CarPlay connected if I need to get out briefly for any reason. Usually I've started the SE and have everything connected and then forget something in the house. Just saves me the hassle of waiting for it to reconnect.
