And you also don't want to get your kid out of car seat in the back then shut the door after you hit the black button on door handle.

Shift into N while in CC and it drops out and lets you coast really fast down hill.

Not 100% sure about these transmissions, but most automatics wear out quicker doing that.

Livoniabob

Can you explain why?

Not sure on this transmission but on older automatics normally when you put the transmission into drive you are not moving and it starts out in first gear. When your already moving at say 50 MPH and you put it into drive they would slam through all 3,4,5, or 6 gears depending on the transmission. It was very hard on the tranny. Not sure with the newer computer controlled trannies if its smart enough to go into 6th at engagement or not. Its also hard on the TC becouse the engine is at idle and as soon as you put it in drive the transmission is trying to instantly lock at the seed of the wheels so now the TC is rapidly driving the motor up to speed and dragging the wheels slower till they end up in unison. Since this can't happen instantly the TC is enduring extra slippage at a hard load rate.

Yeah, don't ever do that.

Here's why:

I never do it on this one, my previous 150 made bad noises when I tried it at low speeds.

I just discovered this today while driving to work. I have the manual climate control and found that you don't have to press the power button to activate the system. I was reaching for something and brushed against the temperature selector dial and lo and behold the system powered on. I tried with all the other controls and it works for all of them, push button zone selectors and the fan control as well.
