I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the "keep warm" feature or whatever it's called: in the winter, if you turn the car off and hold down the fan button (I think), the climate control system will keep the interior warm until the residual heat from the engine is gone.
Really nice to come back to a warm car after a quick run into a store.

.Our moderator should allow a "stickie" for features like this. And it IS a hidden but useful feature!

Yes in fact you can use it to "keep cool" too. On a really hot day, pop up your sunroof, and hold the fan button and turn it down for "LO" or max cold setting. If you come back in an hour or so, your car will not be cooking.
Also, someone else saw this too but:
If you turn your center cluster setting to "Efficiency" screen, then when you get to highway speed the car will indicate "Air resistance, close windows" or something like that.
I haven't turned on easy entry/exit but I suppose this rolls seats back when the door is opened.

Easy entry/exit makes the steering go up (power steering wheel only). It doesn't move the seats. The only "bug" I have had in my car is that a few times the wheel hasn't come down when I enter the car. When this happens, I just press the seating button on the door and the wheel then comes down.

Hey, if the steering wheel moves for my knees, good enough for me!
