Mines the MK1 so I can't comment on the latest version, but there should be a way of turning the driver monitoring off. On mine it's in the dash menu not on the infotainment screen.
Posting your own Hello or technical question thread will get more attention from people who know the later versions of this car better than I do.
Just a little update, This car is amazing me in how convenient it is and I enjoy driving it.
In November I did 935 miles with no public charging, all home charging on a fixed tariff of £0.22/kWh with some solar but I usually charge overnight. £59.44.
My old V40 5 Cylinder Diesel chewed £80 of good diesel every 500 miles so for the same mileage would have used about £130 of Dinosaur juice. There were a couple of long journeys which that car loved and really bumped up the average mpg. Sustained high speeds have the opposite effect on the Kona.
I'm pleasantly surprised by that, I had seen some FUD articles claiming that running an EV was twice the price of a Diesel, they must have been using a massive and power hungry EV with only the most expensive public charger's they could find.
I also had a set of all season tyres fitted, not cheap but it had a mix of tyres fitted, none of them any use in the snow we had last week.
