    I had a little adventure. I had to drive the Kluger home. I’ve only driven an auto once in 20 years. Anyway I got home and realised I didn’t know how to turn it off. A phone call later sorted that out. I then took the little doolackey out of the console and locked it. I checked to make sure it’s locked by the door handle and it beeped at me and the mirrors opened up. Did it again. Same. Shamefully I did it again. Same. So I spent 20 minutes outside babysitting an unlocked car. Technology hates me and i hate technology.

    Anyway cheers you smarter more competent tech people 🍺

      I got a mate who brought a new car recently. It was an auto and his old car was a manual. he had to go back into the showroom and ask them how to take off cause the electric handbreak wouldnt disengage, all he had to do was shift to Drive from park, but they didnt tell him that and he had no idea. So dont feel too bad.

        Thanks. I got in it, adjusted the seat, put my seatbelt on, looked down and said “is there a button I have to press to put it in drive”? Apparently the answer is yes as the man showed me.

          Yeah they really dont show you shit. My dad was driving the twin of my car the other week as a rental and I was staggered they didnt show him anything about the car. I had to show him how to stop it from beeping every 20 seconds.
