I'm wondering if anyone knows what is the maximum kwh that the spark can except from brake regeneration? Since it can only charge at 3.3kwh, can it only accept that amount during braking, or will the battery recharge at a higher rate when braking?

I am. I love all the torque on this little front wheel drive car. I'm thinking about switching to some different tires, but wondering what it'll do to the range.
Thanks SanDiego! I cannot do that on my Bimmer, so I never tried it on the Spark. This makes the drive much more bearable for me and oncoming cars! I am still taking my car to the dealer to see if they can get that triple honk to only occur at slow speeds. I'll post my results
I rarely use my high beam flash as well. My bigger issue is coming home in the evenings I drive through a canyon with little traffic, but lots of deer. It's helpful to get more distance with the highbeams, but its when I dim them for an oncoming car that I activate the triple honk. It just gets...
It should be a software issue. When I originally spoke with onstar, they said it was a feature that was on the vault too, but it shouldn't happen over 19 mph still.
I have confirmed with Chevrolet that the car is not meant to do this above 19 mph. They advised me to take it into the dealership to have it fixed. I wonder how wide spread this problem is!
I just purchased my spark last week and I've noticed that whenever I pull the bright headlight lever, the horn honks 3 times. I know the car has this as a safety feature for under 19mph, but mine does it all the time. Anyone else's do this or am I an isolated case?
Thanks
