K, I just met another guy in town that owns a ti and we hung out for a while yesterday. Turns out he has had his for a while and knows all the little surprises the ti has in its arsenal.
Did you know that if the windows are down and the sunroof is open, and you get out of your car and lock the doors, holding the key in the locked position will close both windows then the sunroof..... Holy crap! It looks so smooth and high tech.
Also, apparently when the doors lock a little pin come out near the gas cap and locks it aswell! Most car companies are just starting to put that feature into their vehicles and my 12 year old beast has it. Thank god cuz these gas prices are ridiculous.
Additionally, There is a little string that you can pull from the trunk to open the gas cap if you really need to get some out, or if it is stuck. Crazy stuff.
PS: My gas cap lock dose not work, can anybody point me in the right direction on how to fix this. The pin just dosen't "shoot" out all the way. |  |  | | 05-20-2008, 05:31 AM | #2 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |
Actually... yeah, I knew all 3 of those things. If you read this forum enough, you'll learn all sorts of trivia.  I also eventually figured out how to turn off my rear wiper, even though it's a bit counter-intuitive. LOL __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

wow... you just barely learned that?? its okay. some of us took some time to realize this. and while telling others of such features its hilarious looking at their faces. we have a pic of bobbak learning this too from last year. its a priceless pic. just sucks that there isnt a button to roll the windows down while walking up to the ti to freshen out the hot air inside on a hot day. __________________

the roof an windows closing is called the "comfort closing" system. its in your handbook also  the gas flap lock has a small actuator, which does give up easily on most models try deadlocking the car to re initialise Use the key to lock, the turn the key to the furthest position possible in the same direction as to lock. this will dead lock the car. if the flap doesnt lock then you need a new actuator. __________________
