Things you never knew your car did!

Mine has to be by just slightly moving the turn signal switch up or down the car will use the blinker 3 times then turn off to signal a lane change, though I never use the feature all that much.

I learned my 18 had a button to open the trunk after six months of ownership.

1. yes, just because it might be only 60 degrees outside, the engine has still been off for 5+ hours and should allow for the lubricants to move about before driving hard IMO.
2. my 2012 focus without any bells and whistles did not have dimming gauges

Nah, just start it up and go. The only "warm up" I do is for me when it's 20 degrees. It'll warm up faster moving anyway,

You never hit the trunk button accidentally when reaching for the sunglasses tray?

Or are you talking about the bumper button?

Nope, I meant the one to the left of the steering wheel. And I did use the sunglass tray often..

Cruising along, keeping up with 80 MPH traffic, I heard the Driver Door Is Ajar/Trunk Is Ajar bong-bong-bong alarm. Neither was true. There is a Too Fast sound in the dash cam, set at 75 MPH, but it's not loud enough to overcome travel noise at that speed, and it's a wimpy sound at best. I thought it might have improved its voice, so I slowed to 66 MPH, but the bong-bong-bong continued. Slowed even more to check all the dash information displays. The only thing active was the left turn green arrow, a leftover from my usual freeway entry/merge lane changes. Cancelled it and the bong-bong-bong ended.

Would I be safe in saying there are Driver Door Is Ajar/Trunk Is Ajar/Hood Is Ajar AND Old Guy Left His Turn Signal On bong bong bong alerts built in? I'd be too embarrassed to drive around out there and test for it.

sometimes I get the trunk ajar light after hitting a hard bump or jump but when I pull over and check the trunk, it’s still closed

Is there any way to display my speed on the digital portion of my analog clustered '15 GT?

My '16 F-150 has it.

I'd go with Old Guy on a bong left his turn signal on

How does it know when you've owned it six months?
