Apologies to those of you who know this already - but discovered on way in today, that if you press the Vol+/Vol- pads on the back of steering wheel stalk simultaneoulsy, it mutes the radio/cd. Saves reaching over to the dial. Nice. | ||

Yes! Knew it... Very useful, indeed  And while we're on the subject of 'easter eggs', did you know that... - long press on the lock button on the key closes any open window as well as the sunroof (if present)? - second press on the lock button on the key deadlocks the car - it can't be open from the inside (if deadlock option is present)? - short pull down on the windscreen wiper stalk immediately after ignition off puts the wipers in the service position and the rear deflector in the max open position (if present)? Do you know of any other 'easter eggs'?!? Cheerios, Sam |

Incidentally, a (very) mildly irritating thing about the car is that there is no 'intermediate off', by which I mean that turning the engine off means that the radio/CD goes off as well and must be switched on again. It's a pity to lose continuity when listening to a track or programme - or keep the engine running! Even the most basic, dirt cheapo, cars have a halfway stop. |

IIRC, the C5 button, pressed after locking, also cracked the windows open - so interior didn't get too hot while parked in the sun ... | ||

The C5 "total closure" or "soft close" also features "partial opening", as you correctly state, Chris, along with "total opening" of the drop-glasses simply by giving the button on the remote a second press 'n' hold after the partial opening.IIRC, the C5 button, pressed after locking, also cracked the windows open - so interior didn't get too hot while parked in the sun ... My C6 had a problem during my first summer with it this year, whereby the r/h rear glass wouldn't "one-shot shut" from the driver's door console but was ok when using the r/h rear door switch. In addition, the remote "soft close" invariably led to the same glass commencing closure then backing off about halfway up and fully opening (like it had encountered an obstruction, although the glass's travel is smooth and unimpeded when using the door switch). I found that stripping the driver's console and cleaning the pcb with isopropanol then cured the "one-shot" problem from that switch and, I'd hoped, would also fix the backing-up issue when using the remote. It didn't, although it became less prevalent. That glass does always fully shut with a second go, though, after unlocking then re-locking & holding the lock button. For the past few weeks the C6 has taken to refusing to fold the door mirrors upon locking the vehicle, too. Not every time, but usually once a day. Same scenario as the r/h rear glass closure: unlock/re-lock and all's well again. Till the next time.....  What miffs me more is the lack of "total opening" on the C6. Unless, of course, I've missed something! |

Hi guys, I discovered this tip by accident recently. If you don't want to auto fold your wing mirrors as is the norm, you can lock the car, but not fold the mirrors by simply pressing the same lock door button straight after locking the door. Its a bit tricky but does work. The C6 will lock, but not fold its mirrors. Kind regards 321dave. |

Hi e3steve, thats interesting! When I mean straight away I mean milliseconds fast. And when it locks i suppose the third press on the fob is deadlock on. Seems to work for me! Kind regards 321dave |
