Default Re: Mileage for short drives

We too noticed today that our mileage went up by not turning off the car for every little stop. What a great tip! We also programmed in our own personal code -- had a heck of a time remembering the factory code! LOL.

We also disabled the auto-lock function, only because we'd park the car, jump out to grab something out of the trunk or back seat -- and the dang doors were locked. I wouldn't mind the autolock function, if all the doors unlocked when you put the vehicle back in park.

We also reprogrammed our remote to unlock all doors with 1 push of the button (not 2).

I tell ya, these cars are basically moving computers -- have to config them to your own style! LOL
