Just discovered I can change my speedo from MPH to KPH. Digital dashboard. Never to old to learn something new.

My Honda CR-V has electric lumbar adjustment on the seats. I discovered that when cleaning it this summer.

I can unlock it from my smartphone from wherever I may be in the world.
Slightly pointless, because if im elsewhere I couldn't drive it anyway, but clearly VW thought it worthwhile.

Found out the windows can wind down or up with a long press of the key fob. Standard on many cars but didn't even realise until about a year after buying it.

When we went to replace the rusting wings on my 2008 Polo we found that VW had helpfully stuffed them with sponge to trap moisture and encourage rusting. If I ever spot a similar vintage Polo it often has rust in exactly the same spot.

Mine apparently has an automatic "heat fatigue" feature whereby it automatically enforces a rest period of 10-15 minutes on the driver; this seemingly determined by a combination of running time and ambient temperature.
While I welcome its apparent concern for my welfare, it can be a bit of a bind when it happens at 70 in the outside lane...
In addition to the seatbelt alarm my old Volvo also had a "speed warning" system, whereby it would alert you of exceeding 70mph by flashing the interior light on and off. Sometimes.

It came in handy for me a while back.
Mrs SD & I arranged to meet back at the car after a shopping trip where we went our separate ways.
She didn't have her car key with her and got back to the car first.
A quick call from her and I was able to open the car for her.

I was cleaning my Nissan when I discovered the cleverly tucked away lever for adjusting the steering column.
five years after I bought it.
we’ve replaced both of our old Fords with new stuff in the last year, they were 14 and 18 years old so I be spending the decade finding new features on the electronic wonderlands they were replaced by.

That it has a known fault for the Sunvisor return spring snapping: and taking out the tube it sits in - rendering it floppy and useless.
Ask me how I found this out yesterday 🙄
