• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Slammed on the brakes on a big patch of ice to test the ABS system.....worked perfectly!

Accelerated hard on the same ice patch and the AWD Telly in Smart mode figured out how to apply power to the wheels and got going nicely!

Shifted into "manual trans" mode while in Smart Cruise and learned that when you do that it cancels all the "auto lane keeping/driving stuff" and puts you in full command

Learned that: operating in Smart Cruise and getting to where you want to go, shut the car down.....get back in later and the tranny program will be in "comfort" but there will be no indication of that on the dash panel.

Discovered that after miles of sloppy roads/spray and all of that....the engine compartment is almost perfectly clean!!! Better than any I have had before!

Approach the back of your locked Telly and the liftgate will lift automatically UNLESS someone else with a different smart key is ALSO standing there, then the system suspects "fraud" and does not open.

On we go...........
