Noticed something I hadn't seen before over the weekend. You know the multi-function display tells you when one of the doors has been opened?

Well did you know it also shows you when the bonnet or boot are open?! Cool!

Yep found that the other day too. My handbrake cable is slightly loose at rattles like hell when I drive. The obvious solution was to put the handbrake on the first notch to tighten it enough to stop it rattling, but not enough to actually put the brakes on. Of course, I just get an annoying beeping instead!

It also lets u know when you are low on fuel even though you have 60miles left in the tank

Well... at least when it THINKS you have 60 miles left in your tank. That usually lasts about 30 with me

I only noticed that the other day!

Did you also know... that you can mute the stereo by pressing both the "UP/DOWN" paddles on the remote at the same time?

AND-If you ignore the door open warning on the display and continue to drive away with the door left open a jar,the interior light flashes on and off-KEWL

AND, if you try to arm the alarm with a door/boot open, it beeps at you and refuses to lock. Same with the bonnet, except that it will lock in this case.

AND - if you put your car on a rolling road, you get the following messages: handbrake on + abs failure + breaking failure + just about every light flashing on the dash!!!

handbrake on + abs failure + breaking failure + just about every light flashing on the dash!!!

Same messages I got when Imanaged to get stuck in the snow the other week. plus alot of smoke from the front of the car as I revved the b**@~#s of my car to regain traction. Since then only the ABS FAULT message and light have come on, usually when I start from cold first thing.

All the fault messages cleared on mine once it was off the rollers

Mine is a faulty switch, one of a number of things that my cc is going in for next week. Squeaky brakes (again) ABS switch, roof adjustment, rogue loose trim clips, 20K service and hopefully a purchase of a space saver wheel.
