Something that most people might miss in the manual or never find out on their own.

For example there is a funnel in your tool kit (next to spare tire in the trunk) that can be used if you run out of gas and and need to use a fuel can.

Also there is a hidden key hole in the center console in case the shifter is locked in place. You have to use your actual key to unlock it.
I seem to have an empty slot in my tool kit as if I'm missing a tool. Is that normal?

I feel REALLY dumb about this one but...for the entire time I've had my car, I thought the fan speed was only manual. As in you turn the temp dial to the temp you want but if you want it to blow more air out you have to go into the menu and dial it up, manually. But I missed the big fat AUTO button right there on the dial. It will automatically turn up the fan speed until your temperature is reached. So convenient.

Its funny, since I got this car I've started going to McDonalds for my coffee. I can't stand the way Tim's cups leak all over my centre console
I was actually thinking that the other day. Their lids are terrible. They really need to start doing something about that.

Yeah, the McDonalds cups are awesome. They're thicker so they don't burn your hand and the lid is a lot more secure and easy to drink from. Tim's needs to get out of the 80's

Another little tip: There's a little narrow storage area near your right knee that is perfect for holding a pair of sunglasses (with the lenses facing upward). Not sure if it was designed for that, but it works great for me.

Since my phone is a touch big for the cubby in front of the shifter, that's where I settle my phone.

Besides McDonalds coffee is far better since Hortons changed their supplier.
I like them both, but my main beef with Tim Horton's aside from the awful cups is the inconsistency with the cream and sugar in my regular coffee. Sometimes I get one and it tastes like a black coffee, other times I feel like I'm drinking a triple-triple

Do you know that point in a thread when you know it's probably safe to unsubscribe and not miss anything important.....can someone let me know when that is? I'm terrible at this sort of thing.
