Default PSA - 911 Manual Alternative.

I hate the paper manual (which is incomplete and regularly just defers to the app) and the app (which is painful to use on a phone). What I'd started doing is asking ChatGPT what I need to do to say "set my mirrors to automatically fold and unfold on locking/unlocking.

I've tried this with a dozen+ things since I got the new car and get directions that work every time and you can even ask for clarification.

And I thought I was the only one who thought the written and app manuals were terrible. I still can't figure out how the InnoDrive and the climate controls work, need to spend more time in it. Great tip for Chap GPT.

I used it yesterday to turn off LKA on my 2020 but it didn’t do a great job. It was vague on how to use the steering wheel controls.

I figured it out though using a combination of ACC stalk then right steering wheel roller/push button. (Not very intuitive…)

I honestly thought this was going to be about Miata’s, Lotuses and 718s.
Oops.
