Well having the car 6 weeks I still apparently don't know my arse from elbow. I somehow had set the speed limit alert to 31 miles per hour. Talk about DUH! Turned it off but then decided to set it for 150...hey you never know!

So after that I decide to play with seat position memory and when I get done setting that now I have a air bag warning light on. Geez!

Oh, and also apparently my headlight switch is bad cause when I pull out knob turn to left to turn on fog lamps, they come on but when I release switch it goes right back in and they go off. Why I oughtta.....

Foggers only work in certain positions.

Make sure both rear fog lights are working! Very often one does not work....

Haha the speed beep. It took me a while to figure out that all these controls can be cancelled by holding in the stalk for about 3 seconds. Mine beeped for about a week.

I used that "feature" in my BMW for about a week and then disabled it...it IS annoying on the highway. I saw it on the Porsche and didn't dare turn it on...and got a ticket the first week. Doing my defensive driving now...
