A few other tricks it does: pull the high beam switch with the door open after shutting off the car and the headlights will come on and stay on for 10 minutes. Push the radio power button for an hour of "car off" radio listening (great for folks that do their own work on their cars). The radio/CD is tied into the "SID" display so you can easily see what the sound system is doing. In the US with an SE/Leather the seat height is adjustable for both sides. The rear fog light is somewhat unique in the USA. The interior light fades it's way off after you enter the car. All the windows do auto power down. The dash lights automatically get brighter when it gets darker out. Headlights auto shut off if you leave them on. Climate control is programmable for start up settings. Auto mode in the climate control not only adjusts the temp and blowers, but varies the air delivery location as the car defrosts and warms to the requested temp. Like I said before, it's a gadget lovers dream. Combined with the gadgetness of owning a turbo, you can't go wrong. Bob
