I bought a used 2010 and the cap would not stay on. When my warranty was about to run out, I made a punch list and took it to the dealership and they replaced the lanyard. It had gotten too stiff and would not stay in the clip.

I had just found this by accident. Held the call button too long.

If you hold it down in the 2014 it will launch the Siri EYES FREE (if you have an iphone)

This is good for Cali cars, as the law states that you must have headlights on when you are using the wipers (pertains to driving in the rain).

Louisiana law also. man I have a long way to go

. there is some good info in this thread

Kind of handy!

Works like a charm! Thanks much!!!

One thing I noticed today, if you leave your blinker on too long you will see a message on the DIC to turn off blinker.

I let the wifee drive my car today. She adjusted the steering and that's when I found out the steering is telescopic.

JCunningham · 12-02-2013, 06:26 PM

was there a fraction of a sec you thought you broke it lol

SSteven · 12-02-2013, 06:49 PM

Thanks for the tip on the telescoping steering wheel. My seats almost all the way back and that makes a lot more comfortable... Didn't even realize it could do that.

No, but I played it off as if I knew it did that.

JCunningham · 12-02-2013, 10:32 PM

no we just through that stuff out. I read it in the manual then tried it and couldnt get it to do it. Then it just poped. I thought i broke it.

eymang · 12-02-2013, 11:33 PM

Nah, who reads and drives.

I didn't see this mentioned so if it has been ill duck in advance.

If you own a vert , all 4 windows have the 1 touch up/down feature that has been mentioned.

If you have the back window down, the 1touch up will not work on that side. The back window must be up for this to work on the front windows.

If you live in an area that occasionally reminds you of an arctic wasteland and gets ridiculously freaking cold, your HUD may display a big Chevy symbol and the message "HUD Warming Up" for the first 5 or so minutes after you start the car.

Fricking winter.
