Hello everyone !!

I just had my first service. I insisted Service Adv to do an engine oil change however he strongly advised against it and didn't do it. Just wanted to check how many of you did an oil change after the first service? If aftermarket which engine oil is recommended? as per OEM?

Hi Guys
I am expecting delivery of my Seltos GTX+ Diesel this week and was wondering, has anyone found a way to get rid of speed warnings as I find them to be quite irritating.

Regards

You don't need to change the engine oil at the first service at all. Modern manufacturing is very precise.

Speed warnings are mandated by law, so all manufacturers have to abide by it. Only a root level reprogramming could possibly remove those warnings. Not sure even that would be possible.

I know they are mandated by law. Their effectiveness is debatable, however this beep noise is annoying for sure. There exists a way to code out these warnings for VW/SKODA and other German car brands, so I was wondering whether there was something similar available for Korean car manufacturers also.

Good evening,

I am planning to book a Seltos for my dad. I did a test drive yesterday of both petrol and diesel engines of Seltos GTX+ and found that the petrol variant is very noisy and felt more vibration in the cabin. The diesel was very quiet and had very less vibration, is it so or it was only for me due to some reasons?

I have a Nxt gen Verna diesel manual and I felt the Seltos AT to be a bit underpowered than my Verna. The ride quality was also not that much better, but i expected something better. kindly share your views on this on this.

It was from Kun KIA near ambattur estate, Chennai. The sales person was good, he explained everything well and was knowledgeable. But he pushed to book 2023 make, but I sticked on to 2024 manufactured one.

Thank you.

Don't go with the GTX or the X-Line version if you want a better ride quality as these variants have 18 inch tires wherein bumps on the road can be felt inside the cabin.

If you are ok with missing certain features out, like ADAS, 360 camera, electronic parking break, etc. go with the techline variant that have 17 inch tires for better ride quality.

Automatically popped up right when I put the car into P and was about to turn off the car.

Some issue with the car you drove I guess. I have a GT Line DCT, and it's buttery smooth. Many a times when the engine switches off at traffic lights (due to auto start stop), it's barely noticeable and passengers can't seem to tell the difference.

Above 2.5K RPM there is difference, but all that enters the cabin is a sporty exhaust note (probably because of dual exhausts) and it is actually enjoyable.

An update for the "Take a Break" warning which comes regularly. Found this trick when doing a Gurgaon, Delhi, Agra trip yesterday.

Release the accelerator paddle for a few seconds, it will do off. Until next time when you get it.

I think you checked box - Automatic update Yes.

Post-firmware update

Sound output has improved; however, the max bar has gone up to 45 (earlier, it was 75).

Map My India is bad as usual.

Did anyone check Ottocast connectivity post-update? It's losing connections often (a reconnection is required). Please update if anyone faces a similar issue.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply. Thanks for making things clear. I now understand the issue. Maybe I shall test drive a variant with 17 inch tires.

But I did like like the 360 camera, looks great (in the sense it's very useful to maneuver in certain situations - especially in tight traffic situations and signals. I felt that in the test drive itself). Another thing family liked the feel and look of the interiors of GT varient.

Let's see what happens. Thank you so much.

Gald to be of help, also make sure the tyre pressure is 35 as recommended by kia before test drive. Usually the tyre pressure in test drive cars is bumped upto over 40 which degrades the ride quality.

All the features are configurable individually and can be turned off - however, some (like Lane keeping Assist/Lane Departure Warning/Forward Collision Avoidance) stay off once turned off, others (like Cross And Rear traffic alerts and emergency braking) are turned on every time the engine is turned off and back on again.

I'd recommend downloading the Owner's Manual app and checking the "Driving Assistance Systems" section for more details about each ADAS capability.

I got my Seltos GTX+ petrol on 29th Dec 2023, got 55k cash discount without insurance and any accessories. Immediately swapped out the tyres with Continental UC6 and have noticed considerable difference in ride quality and road noise.

Only issue I am facing is with the 360-camera feed, the picture is not stitched properly, the image is choppy at 4 edges and it's even creating blind spots there. Is this an issue with my unit, or this is how it is with everyone? I have used Brezza, and there the overall feed is very smooth/consistent.
