Default finding new features in your truck

I've had my truck for 4 months now. This morning as I was getting in I noticed a round button on the steering column for the first time. Turns out I have adjustable pedals and didn't know it. Anyone else find something you didn't know you had?

I traded an Audi S4 for this truck, and I LOVED that the rear view camera would remain on for a few seconds when you went from reverse to drive. This was especially handy when parking...if you back in, and pass the parking space line, drive forward until you see the line appear again. After getting the truck, I told my fiancé that this was the one thing I missed about the Audi...

While reading the owners manual yesterday, I found out that you can set this by turning on rear view camera delay in the truck settings! I should have read the owners manual 6 months ago!!

I imagine this is will be really helpful lining up the trailer hitch as well.

Believe it! It's awesome, especially if you use the zoom in option

I love the zoom function, allows you to get right on the ball. I know, I know, that's what she said.

I realized I could get my ambient lighting to stay on inside the truck when the lights are on by going into the settings. I tried searching but it seemed like no one had known that before and had installed toggle switches.

Oh boy there are a pile of hidden (aka in the manual but not well pointed out) features in these trucks. There is a massive thread dedicated to all of the ones users have found so far:

For those who have the door keypad... I didn't realize it until I read it here somewhere, but if you depress the last two buttons at the same time, you lock your doors.
