Wonder what else is waiting to be found out?
What about reading the owner's manual?

It is not typically English, I am afraid ;-)
“If all else fails, RTFM" :-)

But seriously, I have written somewhere on this forum before:
"Modern cars are complex. I advise all drivers to read the owners manual to understand the operation of their car."

When I first read the manual I found it a real challenge to get my head around much of the content. I probably retained about 30%. Having spent a bit of time using the car, a subsequent read was really beneficial. Even so, I still myself find myself giving it an airing now and again.

Me too, there's just too much to take in! And when it states "on some models" :twisted: :roll:

I have to admit that it does not read like a novel ;-)
But if you browse a little every now and then you will learn more about the car than just by trying.
And it's indeed important to know what options your car doesn't have, so you can skip those parts in the manual.

Although it's not fool proof, I do find using the Q search facility on a downloaded pdf version helps to find information within the 700 odd pages.
