Easy, Just turn on your turn singnal and drive about a mile with it on and it will. It won't do it sitting still, you actually have to be moving.

Not sure if this has been posted but its good to know - if you close your window and something is in it's path, it will stop and roll back down halfway. Not sure if all new cars have this feature.

I think it may be illegal to fill anything up thats running at the pump. Not sure about other places but where I am it is.

I found out yesterday that the headlights will come on at different time intervals if you're running the windshield wipers at different speeds on the intermittent mode. After turning them on at the slowest iterval the headlights came on at about 2 minutes and 45 seconds or so. At the fastest speed the headlights came on at about 15 seconds.

Not a big deal, just something I didn't know.

If it's raining, the headlights will also come on. I didn't have the wipers on...I don't think.

I'll try that one out next time it rains.

That's usually because it's darker out when it's raining, hence the light sensor will turn the headlights on as if it was night..

Also in some states it's a law to turn on your headlights when your wipers are on. My Vue does the same thing.
