Embarrassing discoveries?

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

I have the 2021 manual…instead of the page number, what section is this information in?

I eventually learned that you can manually pressed the brakes to slow down the car when it is doing self park feature. The car goes super fast and super close to the other parked cars and having your foot on the brake to override it eases my mind. However I haven’t used this feature ever since I bought it so you are not missing much for the newer models out there where this feature was deleted.

I tried to test autopark in a very quiet parking lot, but after 5-6 attempts to get it to engage I got embarrassed, even though I doubt anyone saw me. Probably should have read the manual...

If you lock the car with the pillar keypad and your PAAK and FOB is inside the car, you have to unlock it with the keypad….

Just hope you didn’t forget to set a new keypad code when you did a master reset…. And you are 250miles from the master pillar code that you can’t remember….

Anyone try to go in for an oil change? That would probably take the cake . . .

The first few times I had someone sit in the back seat and I would drop them off, when they unbuckled it would light up as an unbuckled passenger on the dash. For a while, I was asking people to please buckle the seat belt when they exited to avoid this. Then I read the in the manual how to disable the feature - it's way too complicated - so now I just power cycle the car (!) and that solved it. I don't understand why the car can sense when something's in the back seat and warn you when you turn it off (and it can be super light and still warn you) but when no one is there I need to know the seat belt is unbuckled...?

When you get that notice with the exclamation mark, just hit the okay on the steering wheel.

Through these forums, I learned that the profile buttons on the driver door don't just adjust seats, they will actually load the users profile if assigned. Life saver when getting into the car after my wife drives it and sets it to her profile

Edit: I got beat to the punch on page 1!

When using cruise control, the set number is green in the upper right corner. So that one pedal doesn't engage to aggressively, press on the accelerator until the green turns grey. You have then matched to speed set in the cruise control. Then cancel the cruise and control the deceleration with the accelerator.

Have your wife set her own profile as driver 2 with yours as driver 1. Easy for both of you.

I thought the A/C fan was losing its mind until I realized the fan speed goes down whenever there's a navigation instruction.

These should clear if any door is opened, if not there is a problem with your car.
If someone put the buckle in the wrong seat, you can just briefly open your door.

We recently figured that we can control the brightness of both screens using physical buttons under the steering wheel on the left!
