1111GS: you are spot on. The Salesperson told me the exact same thing - new for the Luxury package. The are a square set up, too.


Yep, the tires aren't exactly quiet but they are brand new and I have no plans on changing them anytime soon. They are Bridgestone 504 if I remember correctly.


I'll try the headrests today, thanks for the tip.

LOL, yep I have wings...headrest wings that is. There's no way to move the headrests forward, is there?

Congratulations!!! I got exactly your same setup and color combo, but as a 2013, from exactly the same salesperson. You'll love it. It may be mental but the light grey interior feels a lot cooler during the Texas summers. Lastly, now it's time to subscribe to Ride Texas magazine and enjoy the "Daytrippin" rides featured in each issue. Discovered a lot of surprisingly nice roads througout north Texas. Again, congratulations!

Okay, silly question...is there only one way to close the power trunk? It seems you MUST use the button located on the inside of the trunk lid to close it...not the key fob, nor the interior button. Is this correct? Is there anyway to get the car programmed to allow me to close it from the interior of the car?


I know, I know it may sound trivial but when I am dropping my son off at school and he's getting all his stuff out of the trunk, it certainly was easy to close it myself (from inside the car) on my previous ride.

Two more questions (please):


Can BSM be configured to give an audible warning (instead of just the flashing indicators on the mirror)?


When using the navigation, how/where do I see the ETA? I noticed that it lists how many minutes the trip will take, but no ETA?

I do not believe the BSM can be made audible.

For ETA, click on the time to destination to toggle between that and ETA.

JDR76 - thank you. That did the trick, I can now see ETA.

I'm jealous of your color.
I can't see swirl marks!

I'm not sure what the color is. Since I purchased it pre-owned, I didn't get the window sticker, etc.

Thank you all for the compliments. I am thoroughly impressed with many of the features and the quality of the vehicle.


I have another question - what's the scoop with "customize images"? I cannot find any information in the owner's manual, but located the entry in one of the display menus. Can I change the images in the display? Is it for icons or the boot splash page?
