The voltmeter readings on my May 16 car fluctuate so much as to be useless. Before starting it can read 11.5V or 13V even with a fully charged battery. On the road it can fluctuate 13.5 to 14.5 holding steady then rising or falling with no revs change. With an external meter or battery charger it appears voltage is OK.
When I had second service I asked them to check the battery & charging & no faults reported. They reckoned the reason the puddle lights did not always come on was a low battery charge. I've noticed that the Sync screen does not come on before I start the car if battery is not fully charged.
