And on the manual type s, you have to hold the key, since it doesn’t use the electronic ignition. It’s mechanical like the 04-06.

These videos are hilarious... Most should be named "fun stuff your car can do you didn't know about because you didn't read your owners manual"

The lights can be on “AUTO” for the DRLs to work also

I really I enjoyed your video a feature not provided in the video with the wipers is not only do the wipers work with the breaks also in the same setting after you hit 5 mph the wipers kick on to their fastest setting but once you come to a stop they return to the intermediate setting

Another feature is your windows being able to roll up and down without being inside the vehicle. You do this with the key in the door on the exterior. You have to lock/unlock first to perform this. Lock it with the key by turning left, then wait a second and turn it again. It won't make the lock sound but it will roll up and if you turn right to unlock and then turn right again it will roll down.

you forgot one on the wiper feature.. if you leave the wiper setting on full intermediate. it will adjust wiper speeds while driving. 0-10mph it will be a timed wipe. after that the wipers go to normal speed wiping. once you come to a compete stop. the wipers will stop as well and go wipe every so often.
