Any hidden/cool Features

Previously in Mercedes forum and cayenne forum they had a dedicated post regarding hidden features.
Does such post exist here, i wasn't able to search for one.
Would appreciate your input in falling deeper in love with my pan.

cmlxx4s, I like to fold my mirrors that way also since it comes down by it self when i start the car. if i were to use the fold button on the door, it comes down only when you push the button again. Thanks for your reply

If you open the sunroof all the way until it stops, you can press it again and it will open a bit further. To not cause wind buffeting

In my experience doing that results in even more buffeting and wind noise. I suppose it's a consequence of the Panamera's extreme aero dynamism.

Leslierc,
This "extra opening" could of helped when i was trying sync my garage door opener! it was a tight squeeze to reach the "learn" button on the opener through the sunroof.
There is a way to limit the amount opening of the automatic truck right?
I think i remember this with my wife's Cayenne.

The dealer can program your fob to open and close the windows when holding the lock or unlock button on the key fob. Not avail on 2014 though.


Dealer can program the sport exhaust to be always on rather than having to hit the button every time you start the car.

dhh - I'm assuming the button still works if you want to turn it off correct? Also do you know if they can program car to default to sport mode rather than having to push that button every time as well?

You can look at the entire list of options when the tech hooks your car up to their laptop.

I had my auto start stop button changed to remember the last option.

However when I asked to do the sports exhaust done the same way, they tried to do it but specifically told me unfortunately its not an option and you can't. I remember reading something about that as well.

Are you sure about the sports exhaust thing?

Auto Start/Stop by default remembers the last setting.
