Name Something You Discovered About Your F-Type AFTER You Bought it...
#341
I'm gonna say 15 minutes because it took me a little over 2 hours. I was so excited with the new discovery that I didn't care. I did have to restart the car every now and then because of the 3-minute shutoff warning coming up. If you don't want to waste time like I did, you can always download a cd on every drive longer than say 15 minutes.
One new thing that I did discover in the process...the volume when the car is off will not go beyond 3/4. A battery icon pops up there at the 3/4 mark of the volume display so as to tell you, "Hey knucklehead, you'll drain your battery blasting 38 Special at full power!"
This is very similar to the limit the car places on the volume when it shuts off your car in ECO mode. It limits the volume to 3/4 and displays a small ECO icon on the volume display there telling you why.

I still have most of my hearing, so I've not had the opportunity to observe this!

Looks just like this, except there's a yellow battery icon where the green ECO icon is here.

Some locking/unlocking key fob observations:
- Locked car with key fob in driver's area. I can not unlock the car by pressing the unlock door handle button while outside (this one is obviously a requirement).
- Unlocked car with key fob in the driver's area. I can not lock the car by pressing in on the door handle.
- Unlocked car. I put the key fob in the trunk and close the door. No problem.
- Locked car. I open the trunk with that key fob button (car is still locked) and put the key inside and close the trunk. Trunk will not stay closed. It keeps popping up 1/8th inch.

On my car, after the pump shuts off automatically, I can't get even another 1/10 gallon in mine, so I'd say very accurate. You're right the only reliable way is topping off after keeping track of mileage since last fill up.

I had the same experience. The first time I filled up the car it stopped and I went to top off like 75 cents and I ended up over flowing the tank. I was like wow, when it says it's full it really is full.

Ok, I did Internet search to recall why NOT to top off tank. There are several articles with several reasons, but two most important are the gas in the ( ground )station tank is cooler than outside temperature and will expand in your tank after heating up. Needs room to expand. Also because gas station hose has vapor recovery system, excess gas not able to go into your tank will be charged to you but drawn back into tank. Third is cars vapor recovery system may draw excess gas into it. There are also some environmental reasons. Better to be on safe Side I think. Draw your own conclusions.

If you hold your finger on the seat/memory buttons, they will operate while driving. Works good for me because I have setting 2 for both mirrors to drop down as I back onto my car lift. Then when I leave my driveway I hold my finger on button 1 and it will go back to 1 setting. Otherwise it wont go while you are moving with a quick press

I tried this technique, to set up a position for parking, with the seat raised up for better visibility (I like it low for driving.) But it doesn't do coordinated movements - it starts by raising the back, which squashes me into the steering wheel, then it raises the front. Not as useful as it could be...
