Things you didn't know about your Si

That makes sense - especially now that I read the manual.

it is weird the things that can be found in the manual. haha

Which is why people need to read more on a daily basis... myself included

How do you activate the strobing LED lights?? I've seen them in the videos, but hitting the emergency does not trigger the strobe effect...

Also if you have your seatbelt on and you put the shifter into first gear or reverse and give it a little bit of gas, the parking brake will automatically disengage. It won't do this unless your seatbelt is on tho. Pretty cool feature that I figured out on accident today.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure what you are seeing in these videos is caused by the frame rate of the camera not matching the output of the LEDs

that is definitely it. It's not noticeable to a human eye but with a higher frame rate of the camera, it just looks like it's strobing

Correct, like the old 80/90's movies TV flickered a LOT, it was due to the syncing of the screen scanning and the film rate.

I'm dumb... and ashamed of myself

Don't be, I thought they did that too until I realized what was going on.

You can also roll your windows down by pressing unlock on your keyfob 3 times. On the 3rd, time, hold unlock. All windows and sunroof opens. To roll back up, take valet key out and put in keyhole in door, turn to right either 2 or 3 times. On the 2 or 3rd time to the right, hold it and everything should close again. Not sure if it will do it by pressing lock 3 times.

Oh that seals the deal for me!(not that I needed any more motivation) I had that on my 2011 200 and was great during these ridiculously hot Florida summers

I didnt know it would have a Dual mass flywheel, or only make 18lbs of boost.

Three more for now...

1. The engine will automatically rev match for upshifts when using the cruise control. In other words, if you have the cruise set and depress the clutch pedal, the engine speed will adjust and hold to match the next higher gear for the current vehicle speed for a seamless shift.

2. The temperature and fuel gauges, although they appear to be digital, are actually mechanical needles behind printed overlays cleverly disguised as LED/LCD displays.

3. Even though the Si doesn't have built-in navigation, it does have a built-in GPS receiver (notice the icon of a satellite at the top of the display). The GPS coordinates are used to assist your smartphone when using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

My trip computers were both NOT set to reset when refueling, so you might want to check yours. I like A to auto reset, B manual.

I do the same thing. I like trip a to show my mileage on a tank of fuel and trip b to show other mileage or so I can track it for an oil change. Did this with my last si. Although it took me a little while to find it on this new si

with this logic it means we don't have to bother to turn the parking brake on and off all the time?
