I was watching a YouTube video about cat features that most owners do not know about because they are not in the manual (or at least at least the quick start guides that many manufacturers use instead of the full War & Peace manual which I bought for my CT5.
Some are in the "Is that not obvious, why sre allowed out doors without adult supervision?" category. The little arrow next to the had two filler icon means, gas nozzle goes here. They claimed only 10% of drivers know this.
The first surprise was a feature my 2014 Jaguar had that I was disappointed not to have on the CT5. On the Jaguar, hold the unlock button for the seconds and all the windows roll down and the sunroof opens. Hold lock down three seconds and they all close.
It is in the CT5 War & Peace manual. Double click unlock and hold unlock for three seconds and all the windows roll down. Double click lock and hold it for three seconds and all the windows roll up. There is an annoying chirp when it does this, but I am not planning to use this feature while engaged in covert operations.
The other feature I vaguely knew about from the window sticker: Intellibeam. While driving in the dark, this will detect oncoming headlights and reduce from high to low beam and back again to high beam. I looked through the manual carefully and found no mention. You turn it on when you start the car by pressing a button at the end of left stalk. I guess having on by default might be a problem in city streets. There is an icon on the stalk but it is not all clear what it means. There are times when a picture is worth a thousand words and times when ten words are worth multiple icons. I am still trying to imagine the icon string to explain Intellibeam.
