My pleasure Paul, and thanks for the kind comment - I don't think I've ever been called sensible before!Handbook - I've downloaded and printed the full handbook from the Skoda website, it can be confusing as it's meant to be all things to all models. When necessary, I've done a search on the forum and usually come up with the relevant answer, also by keeping an eye on what folks are posting I've had one or two eureka moments - "ah, that's what it does"
Traction control button - ours stays on, not sure why it would be switchable, perhaps its for the clowns on Top Gear and the like to hoon around without it on?
I'm sure you'll be ok on the summer tyres, I'm off up to Market Drayton to pick a set of A6 wheels up tomorrow (£50 of fleabay for 4 - need a bit of tidying up though) to put winter/four season tyres on. I don't know if I'll get them on this winter though, the wheels are cheap enough but £400 odd for the tyres may be a bit prohibitive this side of Xmas unless FX brings them
Funnily enough Worcs has very few "green lanes" compared to other counties so you need to travel further afield but also need to take into account the Yeti's limited wheel articulation, of course, I believe Lanigraham has done a bit in mid Wales. We went for 4x4 because we try go to out of the way places quite a bit and up until now not really needed the capabilities of ourold Disco.
Not many Yeti's around here to wave to, but there are a few - they don't wave back though either!
Enjoy your new car and the forum! Cheers, H.
