5,000 km in 2.5 months with my Seltos; A big shoutout to ADAS!

I'm convinced that it's a well-suited radar system for Indian highways, not so much for city driving conditions though.

BHPian Col Mehta recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

5,000 kms up in a two and half month time and it's been a smooth ownership experience with no niggles so far. We drove the car at 120kmph for the first time (on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway) and it felt rock solid at that speed. One of the pros of stiff suspensions - they make the car feels more stable at high speeds.

The average fuel efficiency is ~17kmpl which is good given that we usually drive with a heavy foot and the car sees open roads as well as heavy traffic.

A big shout out to the ADAS. Even in dense fog/smog, the system reads the lane markings and traffic without any fail. We consistently used the Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Steering Assist and Lane Keep Assist and they worked brilliantly in that low visibility conditions. I'm convinced that it's a well suited radar system for Indian highways, not so much for city driving conditions though, particularly the Forward Collision Avoidance Assist which is permanently off after that heart stopping experience we had.

Also, the annoying "take a coffee break" notification definitely goes away if the Lane Steering Assist and Lane Keep Assist are on as mentioned by @blogslogger - thank you for the suggestion, it does work .
