Embarrassing discoveries?

[Mauser]

My daughter showed me that you don't need to change profiles on the center console, you can do it through the memory buttons on the door.

No way! Have to try that.

...embarrassing ? That in turtle mode...my early 80's diesel VW Rabbit was a lot quicker ? Actually at dealer now trying to find out why it keeps going into ?

Still haven't figured out how BC works, other than the two times I happened to notice it saying I could activate it and I started mashing buttons...

Just get on a highway/interstate. Turn on lane centering and cruise control. If you are in a blue cruise area, it will flip to hands free automatically.

I just learned the other day you can use BC to steer handfree and still use the go pedal to control speed. I think using the brakes kills it but go pedal on one pedal driving typically doesn't require brakes.

I also learned that you can lock the car open the trunk and when the trunk closes the car locks. I typically would stand around waiting for the trunk to close before pushing the lock button on the door pillar.

Learning so much on this. Keep them coming people.

A few months ago I was lamenting the fact that my car was so dark at night when entering/exiting the car. I didn't realize that there was a button next to the sunglasses holder that enables auto-on cabin lights!

You can use all these features on any road too, well not BC, but on country roads having it auto-steer is nice, just leave your hands on to course correct when needed.

When you're using cruise control of any type, you're not in 1 pedal mode... Page 243 of the 2022 manual.

As far as the trunk, in actuality, when you open the trunk the car remains locked. When you close the trunk, the doors are already locked. In most modern cars, if you hit any lock button with doors / trunk open, and then close them, they are locked.

Thanks

What have you found on your MME that you really should have noticed sooner? Go ahead, spill the beans - this is a safe space!

Thanks for this thread. I'm learning a ton!

I never read the manual. I am going to test this later on. Technically if I am controlling the speed through via the go pedal is it still in cruise control? The screen in front of me was still bright blue and said hands free. ?‍

Found out the gear selector knob goes into park automatically if not there already and I open the door.

Is there a way to know if you're in an area that it works? I've read about a Blue bubble, but haven't ever seen it.

This is largely hypothetical, since the times I wouldn use it will probably be countable taking only 1 hand off the steering wheel...

Nice! Did not know that. Does it yell at you if you do it? The Tesla raised an unholy ruckus.

I found out the button in the frunk glows in the dark but doesn't do anything when I get in there, close the hood, and push it.*

Yeah I'm jes messin' with you. I'm way too fat for the frunk.

* 2021 Job 1... Still no electronic frunk activation.

Did you find any shrimp?

It was super dark in there. The button glow is faint. But yes, shrimp would certainly explain the putrid odor and the weird textures.
