The second one is the hidden headlight washer in the chrome trim around the headlight.

The driver side headrest will move up or down automatically when you adjust the driver seat forward or backward. But you can adjust the driver seat manaully by press this little buttom on the right hand side of the seat.

The DVD for the Navigation system is located in the glove box, but you will not see the " Eject " buttom anywhere.

You will have to press the " Menu" buttom on the right side of the Nav screen. You wil see the " Map DVD" at the top corner.

After you touch on the " Map DVD". The next screen is the " Eject " buttom icon. Press that.

How about the Nav diagnostic menu or Bluetooth sound adjustment ?.

1. Press the start bottom twice( foot off the brake pedal) and headlight adjuster to " off "

2. While pressing on the " Info " buttom with your right index. Use your right hand turn the headlight from " Off" to " Headlight"( not AUTO), Off-Head, Off-Head, three times. This will lead you to the " Diagnostic Menu". You can touch on the top right screen " Menu"

3. For those that have Bluetooth phone you can touch the BT on the buttom of the screen.

This will lead you to the BT voice quality set. You have to play with it and see which setting is suit you best both for " Incoming call " and " Outgoing call". But hey, you can do it yourself and adjust it anytime you wanted. Enjoy.

Unrated, eh? If you've managed to hack into the DVD system to allow you to watch movies while driving, don't do like that guy in Albany who got busted for watching "Chocolate Love," or whatever it was called, in broad daylight...
