It was snowing and cold here in MD yesterday. Wife and I headed out in the snow to do some shopping, but were greeted with this message about 10 minutes in to the trip.



I was running the heat, my wife's seat heater, headlights, both sets of fogs and the rear defroster. The voltage gauge was showing just under 12. About a minute later, another message came up that would not be cleared. Something about generator failure/performance. At that point, everything turned off except my headlights. I had no heat, defroster, seat heaters, etc.

Rebooting fixed everything. Spent the whole day running errands and no issues.

WTF?

(!)

 

cmon, you should know better than that. you cant run both the heater and the lights at the same time

 

i had -24 degrees yesterday - heaters, lights, stereo and rear defog on - no issues?

wow the seats are hard when you 1st get into it at those temps. the alcantera sure is nice though: cold until warmed up of course, but not that cutting cold of regular leather
