Handy-Dandy C5 'Secrets'

Now for some handy-dandy C5 ‘secrets' you may or may not know of:

• column lock: turn the key to the on position (without starting the car) and press the brake 4 times

• the little yellow ‘helper light' on the bottom of the rear-view mirror that illuminates the shifter area

• you can put your key in the driver's door and turn it twice towards the front to unlock the passenger door and a third time to pop the trunk

• you can pop the trunk and also pop the gas cap cover by pulling on the metal lines hidden in the back

• the little slotted cover on the dash behind the steering wheel is where the inside air temperature sensor is located

• all of the option codes are in the glove box

• recommended tire inflation pressures are on the driver's door

• the thing that looks like a little LED near the DIC buttons is a light sensor

I'll send a few more of these each month …..
