I seem to recall someone saying that you needed to be careful when you opened the hood with the wipers in winter mode because it's possible to chip the paint on the back edge of the hood. I could be totally wrong about this, but I thought I would throw it out there just in case.

I know, I know. Who wants to read that, right?Only two of the originally posted "hidden features" aren't covered in it.
About the wipers...

If retraction is obstructed by snow, etc., at the bottom of the windshield, the wipres should be shifted from the retracted position to the rest position above the hood level. When snow season is over, manually return the wipers to the retracted position following the procedure given below.
To shift the windshield wipers from retracted to rest position, hold the connection of the wiper arm and wiper bade and pull it upward along the windshield glass.
To return the windshield wipers to retracted position, push the connection of the wiper arm and wiper blade downward.
