Is there any issue with the car's battery. If it is weak, such weird things can happen

The car had just been unlocked, ignition wasn't on, and no button had been pressed.

It's possible the rear left door lock is malfunctioning. Usually, if the car is unlocked but no doors are opened(or if the particular door lock switch is malfunctioning), the car automatically locks itself. In this case, the key is not a factor since as per the system, the doors were not opened.

Please check if the door lock/unlock is recognised in the system.

Inputs from existing Tata owners would be really appreciated

As I can see from the images, I assume only the door panel sides have this issue. If that's the case, please check whether there has been usage of aerosol based lubricant for the door locks. A bad quality aerosol-based lubircant could possibly cause this issue. With respect to warranty claims, the paint related claims are usually a big grey area and would be tough to claim. As many posts from this very forum suggests a good relationship with dealer would get even impossible things done.

How is the new diesel engine tune in the Nexon? Does it feel more powerful IRL? Has anyone test driven it?

A few observations/questions from the first month of ownership - Nexon XMA (White). Everyone has shared a detailed review with pics so i will cover some less-visited points:

• Truly a delight to drive. Happy with my decision
• I upgraded from a Nano (2007, MT) to Nexon AMT and it was a sea change for me. This car gets you out of your comfort zone. I read a lot about the A pillar blind spot. To be honest, the Nano has the same issue so it didn't feel any different.
• I stick to City mode by default. Had to do a BLR-MYS trip and the sports mode was very useful when climbing the long inclines + maintaining 90-100 speed in the expressway. Changed it back to City on level ground or downward slopes. Is this the right way to use it?
• Everytime I fill petrol, the mileage gets reset. For example, it reset to 35 on my last fill and gradually came down as i started driving. Not sure if I'm missing any config. Will read the manual in detail.
• Every time I start the car, the default audio source is FM. Is there any way to set default as BT? Also, even if phone connects automatically on selecting BT, needs to select audio source as BT once again to hear any BT audio. It is mildly frustrating.
• The back doors are unlocked only if I remove the key from ignition. Is this normal? Maybe I missed a few features given my car ownership history! Is there any other way to unlock the back doors for those outside without removing the key? Manually doing it from the driver seat is not as easy as the Nano.

A question for all Nexon AMT owners:

This may seem to be a very rookie question but I can’t figure it out for the life of me. I am looking after a Nexon Diesel AMT for sometime while the owner is out of town but I am not sure how to park it properly. How do I put the AMT in Park mode?

Thanks in advance.

.

No mode for parking. You can only use handbrake. Gear lever can be in any position - its inconsequential.

[sunilkm]

There is no "P" or Park mode in Nexon AMT.
I usually put in "A" and use handbrake while parking.

[revsperminute]

Thanks for your response srm and sunilkm.

So, there is no way to lock the drivetrain when parked.

Is this not a design oversight? What if the handbrake fails when parked on a slope?

[Sebring]

As a Nexon owner I can say it's a design flaw as the handbrake gets slack over time and I have faced the car sliding down steep slopes (Mine is manual)

I'm sorry but the gear position is not inconsequential at all. Remember - AMT is exactly an MT mechanically. Just has an extra actuator setup that does the clutching & shifting for you. Use the gears exactly like you will in case of a manual car, for parking as well.

If on a downward slope - keep handbrake engaged & shift to "R" before switching the car off. Ensure the car is in reverse & then switch it off.
If on an upward incline - keep the handbrake engaged & shift to "D". Ensure the car is in 1st gear & then switch it off.

Its quite risky if you leave the car purely at the hand-brake's mercy on a slope. I'd suggest not to do so.

You’re absolutely correct. It was quite hard to digest that the car should be left parked only with the help of the handbrake.




Also, the actual owner of the car had no idea about any of this. I think AMT cars should come with a dedicated warning label to make sure the driver doesn’t leave them parked in neutral.

Well, usually the hand brake has lifting mechanism which can be tighten, also do inspect the brakes too. A new pads with discs rotor lessens the lever travel.

Happy Driving!

[Sebring]

Yes, thats what I did and its sorted, but I did face this. My point being; you cant depend on hand brake alone.

Hello,
I feel my Nexon petrol clutch is very tight. The SC said they made minor adjustment and lubricated it in the second service. I am starting to get left knee pain when I drive in bumper to bumper traffic and during long drives in the highway. I am aware that this is one inherent issue of Nexon. Any suggestions, mitigation plans or feedback will be greatly helpful and appreciated.
