I think he is referring to what we would call dynamic or sweeping indicators?

@thamestrader As a recent Sportline owner I am interested in this subject. As a matter of interest, where/how does debris get in though? (presumably only when the roof is open) - in view of what has been said, I certainly wont want to chance parking under/near trees with the roof open but fortunately this is not an issue with my normal parking arrangements. At least you got some interest in your post - no one replied to my recent post about occasional temperamental closing of the roof but at least I did get to inspect the viewable part of the channels when trying to resolve my issue! Still didnt notice any drainage routes but will bear in mind what you have said next time I look

Several times recently the sunroof (not shade) tries to close but only gets so far and then opens again - as if there is some kind of sensor or other reason why it will not close. No obvious debris in channels etc and somehow (although some times I have to leave it a short time) by perseverance it then seems to work again. I have read about some kind of reset procedure online by holding close button (it is a rocker type switch so I hold it in close position) but nothing happens until eventually it seems to right itself. Its only 8 months old so under warranty but if there is a simple fix would rather do it myself. I have attached a short video if the issue.

I have also done the same SEL to Sportline move but have not noticed any obvious engine differences (my 21 plate SEL did not have paddles and although I thought I would regularly use them, I rarely do but at least they are there if needed)

In terms of the plastic wheel trims, you’re buying it from a dealer, I would get them to remove the plastic trims. If not there is info on YouTube as to how to do it. On my very new sportline edition, they were not fitted as I believe in recent times, they’re often removed/not fitted. I love my sportline edition with the extra kit, but I moved from an older Karoq SEL so can’t advise on that front

I also contacted Carista (and Carly from memory) but apparently the latest Karoqs use some newer protection ECU/software and at present are not supported by those types of devices

You can’t deactivate ACC on the central infotainment section - the only options you have is road layout (spots roundabouts, bends etc) or speed limit (adjusts ACC in line with speed limit signs) per pic. Other than that you get the steering wheel option which is either ACC on/off (already tried deselecting it but it only lets you then select speed limiter) or speed limiter as per pic. On a separate point, at least I no longer get the annoying “data set to share your position” message on infotainment screen every time you start car 😀

Checked again - the only option is to deactivate ACC, but that completely disables it and the only other option then is to change to speed limiter

There does not seem to be any easy/obvious way to do it though ?

Bit odd but on my new Sportline Edition it is virtually impossible to check/remove the dipstick when the engine is cold. When the engine is still warm (after switching off) you can remove the dipstick though. I know there is differing opinions as to when to check oil level - seems many now say to check when the engine is warm/ 10-15 mins after switching off, but I do like the option of at least checking the oil level when the engine is stone cold. On my old SEL you could check the oil level when cold but my new Sportline is virtually impossible when cold and I dont want to forcefully remove the dipstick! Any thoughts/is this normal - both my old SEL and new Sportline have the 1.5 DSG engine

If I remember/find out I will post on here!

Thanks. Regardless of whether I have ACC or predictive ACC , I’m more interested in trying to clarify whether there’s any way of reverting or switching to old style cruise control.

Would any of this explain why I could not remove dipstick to check level?

I think my Karoq has predictive cruise control. Are you saying it’s switchable to old style ACC or old style cruise control. If so, how as I can’t see any easy way of doing it?

I also set gap to maximum - safest whilst I get to know it. Whilst it is impressive, I agree you still have to have your wits about you as it is not foolproof. I cant see any easy way of switching to old style cruise control so you probably cant.
