Things you didn't know about your car ...
 
I only found out yesterday that the steering wheel doesn't just adjust "up" and "down" - but it can also be pulled "in" and "out"!! Spent a happy few minutes excercising the new movements of the wheel ... only to put it back exactly where it was because it was the most comfortable ... :rolleyes:

It also took me a while to figure out that I could manually fold the door mirrors in and out ... of course now I have fitted powerfold mirrors and they merrily whiz in and out (including forgetting to fold them out after setting off in the pelting rain a few weeks back! :eek:)

Anyone else make any similar, gratifying , surprises?? :)

You'd be surprised how much you could learn from reading the manual:p:
Seriously, this could become an interesting thread.

Seat adjustment from the key fob,

Radio goes off after 20 minutes if left on without key in ignition, so you can't leave it on all night.

Also, although I knew about the self-dimming mirror, it was interesting to play a torch on the sensor during daylight, and watch the mirror darken!

OK, I know it's sad.........

.

Individual per key learned option on the MK1 only with memory seats
MK2 (facelift) has remote boot release instead (well most do) a few early facelifts could have either.

This is not user selectable via Testbook but appears to depend on the firmware revision stored in the BCU

Is the whole switch unit part of the kit then?

What's that tiny switch at the opposite end to the mirror controls?

Isn't it for the rear door child locks?

Keith 15th December 2006 10:33

Close :) it disables the operation of the rear electric window switches

You need to buy a new Drivers Switch pack yes - with the integral powerfold button.
