    It's not really an easter egg, if it's in the manual.

    who has time for that? I work 50 to 60 hours a week, have 2 kids, and a wife who keep me busy. I never even looked at the owners manual. If I have a question I google it.

    I leaf through it, maybe look at the pictures. Unless there's something specific I'm looking for. Like how to activate the smart signals that aren't there.

    I just found out about a week ago that these trucks have telescoping steering wheels! :anonymous:

    I've had my truck since 2010...

    Ive been working part time at a Hyundai dealership since August (going to school) and found out that all of their cars have telescoping steering wheels.

    Just decided to try it out on my truck, and she has it too!!!!!! :surprise:

    The going up and down part was nothing new to me when I bought her but holy craps! This telescoping thing changes everything!!!!!!

    Haha not really, I put it back in its original setting since I've never felt the need to adjust its distance from myself. :p

    The novelty of it faded almost instantly.

    But yep, I also never read th manual, "Ain't nobody got time fo dat!"

    I've only flipped through it twice though, took care of my issues both times. :D

    If you're listening to the radio, and you have radio caching turned on in the settings, holding the MODE button to mute will also pause the live radio for you. Up to 20 minutes I believe.

    I read my owners manual for the truck when I first got it, but pushed the radio book to the side, my mistake. I read my radio book last night after a year and a half!?!
