Really Cool Unknown Features
Here is what I did not know till yesterday.
On my 05 coupe I actually have disk brakes and drum brakes on the rear axle.
Drum brakes are only used for the parking brake. They are very small and brake along the inside of the rotor. Pretty cool feature I guess. And there is a hole in the rotor that is plugged by a rubber piece which you can take out and adjust your hand brake.
But on the other hand when your pads and shoes wear out more $$$ to spend.

OK, here is a real one some people do not know.
If you hold the "Eject CD" button for five seconds, it will spit out all six CD's.
Also, If you were one of the lucky people that got the Maxi-pad in your first aid kit with the Flexi-Wings, these wings can be extended, held out the sun roof and actually improve gas mileage by adding lift.

Genius--That just saved me at least a minute each morning.

the only thing that didn't work was the stupid "pull ur e-brake" up and then you can watch any DVD movies with the navigation unit... F.N. LIAR!

It activates the helicopter mechanism and just sends me over the whole mess.
But it burns a lot of gas.

My G needs a new hood and bumper because my mom was passing a dump truck and I guess rocks fell out my mom didn't say much but it scratched/ dented the bumper and hood and cracked the Windshield. It’s livable but still noticeable.
Seems like the ****ing car is always in the body shop!
On a more serious note, saw this a while back... for Nissans and hopefully

13 tweaks you probably didn't know about
After reading a couple of threads about adjusting the sensitivity of the automatic on/off feature for my Xenons, I decided to pay a visit to my dealer. Well, it turns out that once the car is hooked up to the dealer’s diagnostic computer, they can change several other settings at the same time.
My dealer (Trophy Nissan, Mesquite TX – also the operator of www.nissanwholesaleparts.com) told me that these settings are not listed in the owner’s manual, or even in the books the repair guys use. He says the only reason they know about the settings is from a training course they had to take before the 2002 Altima came out. They even made their own worksheet so Trophy’s customers can fill it out before their car is hooked up to the computer. Here are the settings you can change and the appropriate modes:
Door Lock/Unlock (with single click on keyfob)
Mode 1: Unlock left front door only
Mode 2: Unlock all doors

Mode 1: Master door lock switch can activate door locks w/ key in ignition
Mode 2: Master door lock switch cannot activate door locks w/ key in ignition
Dome Lamp Timer

Mode 2: Interior lamp does not come on when left front door is unlocked
Retained Power (Amount of time windows and sunroof will operate after turning off ignition)

Mode 2: No delay (Will not operate after ignition key is turned off)
Mode 3: 2 minutes
Auto Light On (headlights turn on as it gets dark)
Mode 1: Factory setting
Mode 2: Lights come on sooner than factory setting
Mode 3: Lights come on later than factor setting
Mode 4: Lights come on later than Mode 3
Head Lamp Battery Saver (applies when headlights left in “on” position, not in “auto.”
Mode 1: Shuts lamps off after 5 minutes
Mode 2: No time delay (headlights turn off immediately)
Headlamp Illumination delay (time headlights remain on after exiting car when headlight is in the “auto” position)

Mode 3: 30 Seconds
Mode 4: 1 minute
Mode 5: 1 ˝ minutes

Mode 1 (C Mode): Lock = 2 flash, 1 horn /// Unlock = 1 flash, 0 horn
Mode 2 (S Mode): Lock = 2 flash, 0 horn /// Unlock = 0 flash, 0 horn
Mode 3: Lock = 0 flash, 0 horn /// Unlock = 0 flash, 0 horn
