The only thing worse was trying to tell him why he needs to wear his belt. Lord knows how well lecturing your parent goes for most of us.../rolleyes

hehe.. luckily the chime always reminds my dad to buckle up. Everyone else does it because they know what a maniac I am It's not a hidden feature but showing people the mycolor feature always gets some ooOOooOOs oh.. and the time that I stuck it on FM2 and couldn't figure out what happened to all my preset radiostations annoyed me for like 3 days

What does re-calibrating the throttle do?

Wait, so the your-seatbelt-is-not-on chime can be turned off? and it tells you how?

I preset FM1 and FM2 to the same stations.

Not sure if this is a hidden feature, but it was kinda cool when the fuel gauge turned red to let me know I was really, really, really close in running out of gas.

The gas gauge turning red is a really nice feature.

When our cars get directly on E, do we have any additional fuel? I know in my F150 when I got on E I had about 3 gallons left in the tank.
