Interesting Bits Inside Your Euro..

yep i know all about VSA, although its a bit too conservative sometimes. even on some safe corners, it limits the accelerator excessively =/

Maybe VSA is tuned to the crappy stock dunlop SP2050 tyres ;) The yoko C-Drives are so much better its not funny.

I think most automatic cars do that these days.

But when you say tiptronic mode, its because when you're in a higher gear than the car requires, it'll drop down a gear.

But in fact it happens when you're in normal Drive mode too.
Also if you're actually going downhill and braking, it'll gear down even faster because the G-sensor will pick up that you're going downhill and might want engine-braking... :D

Just pull the lever down, and then you can adjust the steering wheel up-down and in-out.

!!! r u serious!!! i thought it's only up and down !!!
i m going to try in and out now ^^

6MT Euro's: The gearbox uses an electric/pneumatic gate to lock out Reverse (above 10 or 20km/h I think) so you cant blow up the gearbox at high speed.

i find it odd that a few people didn't know about this! Its on the website specs and is one of the MANY reasons I chose a Euro over something else!

I guess I shouldn't assume that everyone pulls every lever and pushes every button when they get something new to find out what it does. Or that everyone would read the manual for that matter.

sometimes when im bored in traffic.. i pretend im flying a plane with the steering wheel.

Thats VERY handy to know. thanks!

its weird, maybe its only new models. my boot floor is completely flat, the tools in the back reside in the centre of the spare. my wifes standard, (newer) has the toolkit on the right hand side of the boot and its raised about 50mm or so
