My Up! has developed a.. well, let's just call it a "quirk"..

If you accelerate quickly from a standing start, the interior light seems to temporarily flash on.

It's only a minor thing, but very annoying.

Is this a warranty thing?

Is the interior light in On, Off or Door open mode?I would call it a cool Redline indicator

 

[silentbazz]

It's in the door open mode.. although if it carries on might have to set itpermanentlyoff..

Redline indicator!! LOL!! Maybe it means I'm engaging warp speed?

Warp speed makes the wing mirrors automaticly fold in and the radio has a warp setting which blasts out a swoosh sound

Somewhat related to this... I've read that first stage of Saturn V rockets (used to send Apollo missions to the Moon) consumed 1 ton of fuel per second. Could someone calculate to what speed an up! would be accelerated, if it burned entire fuel tank in a second? Let's say it uses 55kW engine somewhere near most optimal working range, which just generates a lot of power without any bad side effects.

Its your tailgate that is not adjustet correctly. Or is not closed properly.

Not sure about that, there is no boot light. I can't think of a more plausible explanation though unfortunately but I like the warpspeed indicator idea.

 

[jespermansfeld]

I know there is no bootlight but your tailgate also activates tour interior light. I have had the same problem in my Mii. There was some dirt caught in the tailgate button. This made it not close properly

 

[Allybasher]

I'd never noticed that. I'll have to go and check it out.

 

[silentbazz]

Ooh.. Never considered that. Had the car washed and vacuumed on the day it started, and the bloke might not have shut boot properly. Will check it out in a minute. Thanks!

 

[silentbazz]

Just popped outside now, boot didn't seem particularly well shut, so gave it a good slam. Will take it for a spin later to see if that has solved it. Thanks again jespermansfeld

Thank you!! Just had the same problem this morning, thinking the electrics were faulty as the interior light kept coming on and off while I was driving. Just checked tail gate, and sure enough, it wasn't closed properly. Problem solved
