What are some hidden features of our 2005-2009 Mustangs?
I was intrigued when I got mine a couple weeks ago how the windows would slightly lower raise when the door would open/shut.
Another example, recalibrating the throttle by turning the key in the on position and pressing down to the floor ( total 3 seconds ) then release for 3 seconds.
Any other cool features? Such as looking at extra engine specs on the cluster display, etc.?

1- Turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine(dashboard lights come on and chime sounds).
2- After the chime stops, smoothly depress the gas pedal to the floor while counting 1001-1002-1003.
3- Release the gas pedal using the same procedure in 2.
4- Wait 6 seconds, and turn the ignition to OFF.
Your throttle response is reset.

Here's one nobody's mentioned yet. There is a little hook on the inside of the gas cap. The hook is meant for your gas cap to hang on so it doesn't drop and hit the outside painted panel. Took me a year and a half to realize what that hook was for.

I was under the assumption that I had a gallon left when the light came on. I have never seen it go red...thankfully lol

I think that we are supposed to have about a gallon left. I would not let it get that low under normal circumstances because it makes the fuel pump work harder and the lack of cooling from the gasoline may cause the fuel pump to get too hot.

BTW, our back seats fold down...just pull the tab. It took me awhile to figure that out. lol

Well this isn't that useful, but to my understanding we all have non-functional shiftlights in-dash right under the 4 of the tach. Anyone gotten these to work?
