Things you never knew your car did!

Something most people do not know about is the receipt/card/money clip on the sunvisor.

If you press the unlock button on the FOB twice and hold it down on the second press, the windows will go down.

This^^^ I had no idea until a few weeks ago. Was scrolling through the cluster options and found it in there

I have noticed my Mustang makes a lot of folks wave at me when I pass, even Camaro drivers!

It's actually possible to drive off without your key fob

My instrument cluster is set on a nice subtle shade of blue and last night I did a bit of spirited driving and I hit redline in 2nd gear for the first time and the whole tacho colour changed to bright red!
I thought that was so cool and never expected that, it even surprised me a bit.

Doug Demuro just showed me the trunk release button.

Also pretty cool the glove box has a extra compartment for the owner's manual

And Ford thinks a double horn honk will stop us from doing that.

Pushed in on the weird rectangular area left of the steering wheel... Boom.. Sunglass holder slid out...

Also... I didn't know there was a trunk button above the license plate holder... One day my 8 year old walked to the back and pressed it.. Trunk opened... Blew my friggen mind.. I had been using the FOB up to that point.

I was disappointed that there wasn't a trunk release button until I saw it while installing the exhaust. I had also been using the fob until then.

Yup when I bought my car last Friday, I opened the glove box and asked where the manual was. The sales guy went to the office and brought one out for me. When I got home I was reading the manual and opened the glove box and pulled out the owners manual in the extra compartment and now I have 2.

How about this one ?? has anyone ever noticed how deep the cavity is in the door panels?

Having it read and send texts was cool - though of course not specific to the Mustang but the Apple car apps stuff.

Took my car in to the dealer for an oil change/tire rotate. The service manager told me they couldn't find my key for the locking lug nut, (safe and secure package item) but they found one to fit. I told him it was with the owners manual. He said he couldn't find that either. He didn't know about the extra compartment in the glove box for the manual. I'll think twice about taking the car there for anything major!

Yup! I couldn’t figure out what a noise was right after I bought it and that’s when I realized my girlfriend had left a bottle of water in there and it took me going elbow deep to get it out

For a couple of weekends after getting the car, I gave the owner's manual to my boys to read through while we drove down to my folks' place. We discovered lots of things in the car, but we never figured out the sunglasses holder. Finally figured it out by accident in one of those "wonder what that does" moments...

If you press the unlock button on the FOB twice and hold it down on the second press, the windows will go down.

And if you press it a 3rd time on the way down they'll stop at that position.
