Happened upon this fun little discovery this last week. With auto hold and auto start/stop engaged, you can shift into park without the engine turning back on. Especially helpful when pulling into my garage when I get home or pulling into a parking spot and start/stop wants to turn off the engine a split second before I place the car in park. The trick is to keep your foot off of the brake when shifting.

Any other fun little discoveries?

Can also just shut the engine off in drive.... And the car will park automatically.

After two years I just discovered that if you hold the cruise button in the up position speed climbs in increments of 5 mph. All this time I was just clicking it repeatedly when trying to raise the speed.

In Canada, it's incremented in increments of 10 km per hour when holding up or down

Couple things I noticed recently on a long drive home (some may only apply GT2):
-Auto high beams and swiveling lights only work if the switch is in AUTO
-If using cruise while in Smart mode, it automatically selects Comfort and won't allow Eco.
-If using Sport mode on the highway, it will only upshift to 8th gear if cruise is set, otherwise you'd have to lock it in manually with the paddle.
-If you open a door and try to move forward with no seatbelt latched, the transmission slams into Park. If you try the same WITH the seatbelt latched, it applies the E-brake so that you only creep forward
-Pressing and holding the mode button on the steering wheel shuts off the stereo
