Picked up the car, now I need help

Hi all, I finally picked up my Z51 c7 yesterday. I already have some questions which I can't figure out, please help:

1.) the normal navigation menu has a map display along with turn by turn directions on the side. since I activated onstar, I asked them to send me directions home. After on star sent directions to the vehicle, the screen switched to half turn by turn directions and the other half displaying the radio. Despite pressing the nav button on the screen menu it would never return back to the map and kept it on turn by turn directions. How do I toggle between the 2? When I logged into my on star account there was some check box for turn by turn is that it?

2.) performance. it was raining so I was in W mode. I was careful not to exert the engine yet so I put the car on weather mode but was surprised it wasn't kicking off on the acceleration, in fact i felt hesitation. when I moved to S sport mode i did noticeably see a difference but there wasn't a immediate accelerated push to propel the car. I have BMW m and when u hit the accelerator you feel your body pushing back on the seat. I realize this is a completely different car, am I doing something wrong? Don't get me wrong its all amazing, I'm just trying to understand if something is wrong or I have to floor the accelerator (which I haven't done because of break in) to get the 3.8 second. I think I'm closer to 6 or so.

3.) dash, how do I toggle between the dash displays?

4.) HUD. I love the hud but noticed I could only adjust it up or down and brightness. Is there anyway to move the hud left or right? I assume not because I saw the cutout on the dash which magnifies the display onto the windshield. Next I noticed when I changed the radio station it displayed it for a second on the Hud? Can I have this stay longer? Finally I noticed the Navi sometimes appeared on the Hud but I couldn't duplicate it, do I just have to press the info button to get it to stay with the navi on?

5.) trunk. I have to really push the trunk hatch down (no pressure) but using gravity to get it to close, am I closing this the wrong way?

6.) tire pressure. 30 PSI? Really, thats what the door sills say. For so much tire and realize load is less, however is that what everyone is putting on their tires?

7.) z51 emblem? I noticed some cars have the z51 aftermarket emblem. Can someone send me a link where to buy? I have a white car so a black one would be ideal.

8.) Button next to on star. The dealer did something cool after depressing that button. He asked the automated system to confirm the telephone number in the car. I can't find this feature or what other features you can do with that button, does anyone know?

MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, THIS IS A FANTASTIC CAR AND IM GOING TO REALLY ENJOY IT, BUT FIRST I HAVE TO LEARN EVERYTHING IT CAN DO.
