With wipers on auto and raining, putting the car into reverse will switch the rear wiper on.

A quick press of the start/stop button (without depressing the brake/clutch) will turn the satnav on without turning on the ignition/headlights.

The electric seats can be operated all of the time, even without the keyfob in, so you can use the 3rd memory as a fully lowered and all the way back setting to help getting in and out of the car...its what I do.....so its especially for short people. |

It is useful to be able to look backward while reversing without being held back in your seat by the belt. As when you don't belt up the silly bongs make it harder to pay attention to the reversing beepers. Mrs George used this as an excuse a few years ago when she reversed into a van in her admittedly very tricky works carpark (shame she didn't stop and report the collision as the police had to come to our farm and interview her about it, she's learnt the correct thing to do now, her opinion was that the van was illegally parked so she had the right to reverse into it, the police didn't agree) |

I haven't got a Freely2 but on RRS if you get the yellow low fuel light come on in the RRS the satnav will show you all the local filling stations on it's screen. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

If you unlock the doors, but don't open door or boot within 1 min, the car will auto lock. Phil |

New F/L2s will fold their mirrors at speeds upto 70mph not the previously discussed 12mph. Do not know if this is a back compatable modification but shows somebody listens to customer comment. still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit |

Yep it does this on the FL2 as well and when you enter the gas station it switches the gas station markers and warning off. |
