I never knew if you held both buttons it brings you to a whole new list of options and settings ( i have base model, so no buttons on steering wheel - only the ones beside the tac )

but i dont know what they all mean and do, and google isnt helping me figure anything els out.

theres gotta be a link or something like that floating around here?


e/ yes 8 months of owning this car, i didnt know i could do this lmao

theres not much you need to change, esp. if you're a base model.

if you have HID's I would suggest turning off the lights on feature. turns the lights on when you unlock the doors, but they shut off when you open the door. unnecessary wear on the Ballasts.

You can make it so the horn wont honk every time you hit the lock button, only if you hit it twice.

Hold it down with the Key on - engine off , and you can reset you oil life monitor, or pump the gas pedal 3 times fast with the key in the same position. both work on my 06.

im ordering hids as soon as this other B.S pending payment things gets cleared off my card, so thats really helpful.

i basically went to check my coolant temp ( i keep heat on like 1 or 2 till she gets to like 65-70degree celcius or it takes forever to heat up lol, and i noticed this. i was in a rush so couldnt get a good look at it
