Thumbs up Hidden/Cool Features on 09+ F150's

Back when i had my 06 mustang their was a post on a mustang forum that asked what hidden/cool features you have found or heard about on your car. The post got alot of replys from people listing things they found or stumbled across while owning their car that they thought was interesting. Things like rolling the windows down with the unlock key pad, hidden space in the cup holder, turning off the seat belt chime, resetting the throttle pedal, radio options etc...
If theirs something you've found that you thought was kinda cool from ether researching through the manual, stumbled across or found on the internet...Post it up! Lets hear e'm!!

Be cool to roll windows down with the keypad.

So far, mine is the cooled seats. Didn't know mine had them until after I'd bought it!!!

Not sure if it was hidden but in my FX4 center cup holders. If you take out the rubber you can fit a big Gatorade bottle also a 32oz nalgene bottle.

Also of you long hold the switch to dim and brighten the dash lights it turns on the interior lights also the bed light.

Can't wait to hear what other have found!

Well this is kinda on me, but I thought mine had rear defrost. Turned out the rear defrost button is for heated mirrors (which is damn nice). No rear defrost. So kinda cool...yet not lol

I haven't tied it yet on my Ford but on my Jeep if you were driving with low beams on, pull the turn signal arm and hold it, both high and low beams would be on until you released the arm. Lots of light!

I keep the headlight selector switch in (A) or automatic so they are always on and turn themselves off a few minutes after I turn the truck off and get inside my house. But, I found out if you have it in (A) put gear it into drive, then back to park, the light will be off when you return to drive. Click your turn signal for bright lights and they come back on. Maybe good for just sitting in a parking lot, or driving through the parks during Christmas light shows. I don't like that Ford didn't put a timer on the headlights or parking lamps if the selector is in the (ON) position and the truck is off.
