Smile Useful features of the TL

How about a thread on useful features that are new to the TL but not commonly known?

I'll start with:

You are driving during the day and turn on the headlights. Now the Navi switches to night mode and is difficult to read. Push the "max" button on the left of the steering wheel and the dash lights switch to maximum, and the Navi switches to "day" mode so it is easy to see. Push "max" again and the dash lights toggle back to the original brightness setting and the Navi goes into "night" mode.

Inside the trunk lid there is a recessed place you can pull to close the trunk without having to touch the outside of the trunk lid.

Another one I saw posted somewhere earlier today. The sun visors slide on the rod so you can change their position horizontally.

I'm a TL wannabe, but I did the interactive tour on the Acura.com web site and found, what I consider to be, useful features. I live in Arizona and the one feature that grabbed me was the aircon flow adjusting to the side of the car which was in direct sunlight. Even with tinted windows, I can appreciate that. Auto adjustable seats (driver and passenger) is a plus if your spouse is not the same height as you (I don't remember if they are programmable or not). Its always fun when you find out these little gems on your new car. On the other forums that I subscribe to, someone always advises newbies to RTFM. Man, that's too logical for me.

with the solar sensing thing.... it uses the GPS to determine where the sun is... it doesnt have a heat sensor.... my question is... when there is NO sun present, does it still shift temperatures because its going by GPS and not actual heat sensing
