Here are mine so far:
1. when you buckle your belt, there is a plastic slide-able bar on the strap: slide it all the way to the buckle, so that when you unbuckle, it keeps the buckle in place in the right position for the next time you buckle
2. (I'm not certain about this one; more a ques) for AMA and FMA channels, supposedly the 6 strongest signal channels are automatically recorded? however, I found that you can use these spaces to store your own channels
3. (I skimmed the manual so I missed this one initially) the gas cap can be put on the green circle hole when filling gas (doh!) instead of letting it hang
4. whenever you adjust the seats, make sure they don't rub up/squeeze against the back wall (that can't be good)
5. if you don't want to use an aftermkt storage compartment, I found wrapping grocery bags around those 2 rubber straps in the trunk usually secures the bags quite well (on another topic, that back shelf behind the seats is virtually useless save for newspapers, handbags, etc lol)
6. when just chilling in the car w/ engine off and listening to the radio, it is good to switch the lights from 'automatic' to 'off' to conserve the battery

During my long trip in the US I discovered that when you lightly tap the speed control down you increase by 1 KM (perhaps 1 Mile on US models). Tapping up (toward you) decreases the speed by 1 KM (or for US cars 1 Mile?) each time you tap the lever. I found it cool.
