3rd gen tips and tricks

Most forums for vehicles I've owned in the past have had a thread like this, where handy features that are undocumented or buried in the owners manual (for those that don't read it cover to cover) are posted. If there's another thread like this floating around, I apologize!

* Tapping the turn signal lever either up or down will flash it 3 times without having to actually turn it on. My Terrain had this feature and I loved it.. it's something small but significant when you get used to it.

* Clip under console lid, perfect size for storing tailgate/glovebox key. Saw this buried in a thread elsewhere.

* Change vehicle settings to make the handle touch unlock/lock all doors.


Any others floating around out there?
