Some tiles will naturally take longer to load than others. For example, APPS, NAVIGATION and MEDIA are likely to have a greater delay in loading than other tiles this is due to the amount of external data required to display the relevant information. TIP: If required, the delay can be reduced by only selecting tiles that do not communicate with external data sources, for example CAR or CLIMATE functions.

| 2052092/5 | 2021-10-05. Service bulletin. STRUCTURE; LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. New Continental GT - Door soft close functionality. Customer statement / workshop findings Correct functionality and restrictions of the door soft close system need to be understood to prevent unnecessary customer complaints. Correct operation/function restrictions: The soft close feature is designed to minimalize effort when closing the door. This feature operates automatically. If a door is closed with insufficient force to engage fully, i.e. the door is only closed to the first catch position, the feature will automatically motor the door fully closed. Soft close operation works as per any other motor system. If you work or stress the motor whilst mid-operation the motor could stop working until it is reset (i.e. if you shut the door and re-open it before the soft close has fully engaged into position). If the door is operated over 40 times in less than 10 minutes, soft close operation will be deactivated for the next 10 minutes. If the soft close system does stop functioning through customer misuse, there may be a DTC code stored in the memory, the fault will be active until the ignition is cycled. The DTC will be logged in the relevant door control module memory but will not inhibit the door operation and can be ignored. The DTC will read B122D29: Lock unit for central locking, Implausible signal. |
