Has anyone been able to install better set of fog lamps like Azoom in GTX+ or X-line?
The light performance is very poor for my eyes

I also bought a Seltos Xline recently and am searching for a solution too. The challenge is that the fog light mount bezel is not available yet for GTX and Xline version. Once that becomes available we should be able to fit projectors in the fog light.

I would be taking delivery of my GT Line Seltos today and had a noob question ( This is my first automatic car and also first car with EPB).

Before stopping and getting out of car do I need to shift to P and then engage the EPB ? Since this is what I do in manual cars, come to a halt, shift to neutral and engage handbrake.

Also do I need to follow same if I am using auto hold ?

1 - You just need to shift to P mode and turn off engine .
2 - Auto-Hold - helps in traffic , The car doesn't move until you accelerate.

Congratulations on your new car. Hope everything goes well during delivery. Do share some pics when you can.

Definitely not a noob question for first time users of automatic cars. Even I was in the same space so I can relate.

You may or may not engage EPB as the car will not inch forward even if EPB is not engaged. However, please do note that it is best to engage EPB as then the entire pressure is on the braking system to hold the car rather than on the transmission system. I usually shift to N, engage EPB and then shift to P before turning off the car.

You can skip the N part if you want, directly go to P, engage EPB & turn off car.

While using Auto-hold, its ok if you do not engage EPB as the you will keep stopping and moving, however if the wait time is high e.g more than 3-5 mins, I would recommend engaging EPB.

Hope this helps.

This is exactly the way I also park.

A quick query for all, can you please guide me to a good accessory shop in and around Rajaji Nagar, Yeshwanthpur, or Malleshwaram for sound dampening for the car doors?

I shift to P, engage EPB and turn on engine. Usually I switch off auto hold when I need to park the car in my society parking as I need 3 point reverse to enter the slot.

Thanks for clarifying, that's what I'm aiming for as well.

I shift to P, turn off the engine. Mostly, my car remembers on its own to keep the EPB on when engine is stopped. Same of Auto Hold, leave car in D and AH takes over.

For ISG, i have found that if you press the brake lightly, it will not turn off the engine. However, if you press the Brake hard, it will automatically turn off the engine.

If you stop the car and put it in P and switch off the engine, the car will automatically put on the EPB. However، you can also put on EPB after P, if you like.

For engaging auto hold while driving or before you start to drive, press the break and depress autohold. The display of autohold will light up and be in grey in your instrument panel. Now when you come to a stop, either at a red light or behind a vehicle, press the break a bit hard and then the autohold light will turn green, meaning the autold is working. You can leave the car in D while on autohold. Once you tap on the accelerator, the autold switches off and display will turn grey. Very convenient otherwise at every stop, you should put the car in N or P and then back to D to start driving to save the clutch.

Indeed, specially for the NCR traffic and the new rules of engine turned off at traffic lights.

I tried a couple of times, putting the car in N and forgot to move to D when the light turned Green. Had folks honking me to move.

Activating Auto Hold won't disengage the clutch. It just presses the brakes on your behalf. This is my understanding.

Edit: My bad. As soon as I posted this, a bit of Googling told me DSG cars disengages clutch and effectively puts it in Neutral. This is good. I assume it's the same for DCT.

When on Auto Hold, it won't turn off the engine. In fact, the usual Auto stop/start gets disabled when you activate Auto Hold.

I don't think that's true either. Auto stop/start works along with Auto Hold. There is an icon for Auto stop/start on the MID, it gets turned to green and gray when it is engaged/disengaged. I have seen it turn on and off when on Auto Hold. Also engine starts and stops and the noise can be heard. Basically, Auto stop gets engaged when you are in Auto hold for a few seconds, that's my understanding.

I need to check whether EPB gets auto-engaged when car is in P mode and engine turned off. Good thing if it works, as it's possible we forget to do it sometime.

Also, on the ongoing discussion, there is absolutely no advantage of putting the car in P when you are not parking. Modern DSGs are made to automatically manage the clutch engagement/disengagement without getting heated when car is not in motion (case in point, waiting at traffic signal for a few minutes). And there is no use of putting it in N, unless you need to get your car towed. Another problem with putting it in N is that you need to remember to manually apply brakes too otherwise the car will move if on a slope.

If Idle Stop & Go is on, autohold will not have on an effect on that feature. ISG will switch off the engine when you stop for a while, unless ofcourse AC is on and it is required to switch on the engine to recharge the battery.

No, Auto Hold doesn't disable Auto start/stop. Engine will still turn off when you stop and turn on again when you press the accelerator.

Except for the case when you have switched on the AC and it is required for the car to remain on, Auto start/stop will always work if you have activated the Auto start/stop function.
