My new Maruti Suzuki Swift

I bought a new Maruti Suzuki Swift last month. It costed me 4.58 Lacs and i bought it from Mandovi Motors in Bangalore. Its actually a company owned car which will be mine after 5 years. The features the Swift VXi version include power steering, power windows and tubeless tires. I got a blaupunkt cd/mp3 player fixed with 4 blaupunkt speakers. Its a bright red colour. Maruti offers many more colours and i had a tough time choosing between Red and Silver. Silver coz my wife appreciates the colour more than the red. i've just got my first service done and the cars doing just fine. Just after the first service i noticed that the Blaupunkt system stopper reading the CD's and gave a "CD Error" message. People at Mandovi motors finally replaced the player with a new one and have sent the player back for find if there are any manufacturing defects. I guess im getting a mileage of 12.5 to 13.5 so far. its done about 2500 KM in about 45 days.

I dont have such an option on my car i guess. Best is to ask the dealer and ask him to show a demo of the feature. if you have paid for it, it must be shown to you. Also check your user manual for such a feature.
