Vauxhall Secrets!
1 - Windows go up and down holding buttons on keyfob.
2 - Disconnect speak in boot for alarm to have horn go off instead
3 - Open drivers door and flash headlights and the lights and reverse lights will stay on for 30secs
4 - If you have sight and light pack the windows go up themselves if it rains while your out of the car.
5 - Sit in the car hold the lock button on the key and lock button on the door for about 10seconds/beep occurs for anti-hijack
6 - rear windscreen wiper sweeps when in reverse when front wipers are on
7 - If 1 of your brake lights fail the ECU uses another bulb in the cluster(red 1 of course)
8 - If you have electric memory seats then the car remembers the position of the seat, door mirrors and internal mirror for each key fob and adjusts them all back to that setting when each key unlocks the car.
9 - Parking lights
The front parking light and tail light of one side of the vehicle can be activated when parking:
1. Set light switch to 0 or AUTO .
2. Ignition off.
3. Move turn signal stalk all the way up (right parking light) or down (left parkinglight).
An acoustic signal sounds and control indicator <> illuminates briefly in the instrument cluster to indicate activation.
Remove the ignition key before leaving the vehicle.
To switch it off, switch on the ignition or move the turn signal stalk in the opposite direction.
10 - Press auto switch on ECC after you stopped the engine, it will activate residual aircondition.
11 - Hold the 'SETTINGS' or 'MAIN' button for 10 seconds/until a beep is heard on the stereo and then press it to cycle through the hidden screens
12 - If you don’t have a TC switch then this may work on your car, it does on mine... With the engine running flick the ignition off and on quickly so it still runs. All the normal warning lights come on and then go off except the TC light this stays on and voila! TC is off!!
13 - On full CANBUS cars, when the fuel is low and !!RANGE!! appears, hold the round selector wheel down on the steering wheel to acknowledge the message and get your normal info display back.
(this works with other info, such as low washer fluid level aswell.)
14 - Radio Ignition On Logic is programmed per key.
15 - One-press unlock can be programmed similar to 5 above, but use Unlock button on the key fob.
16 - Wipers can be set to a vertical position after switching off the ignition (hold down the wiper stalk for a few seconds I think release when they are in the right position).
17 - If you unlock the car but do not open a door or the boot within about a minute the car will lock it's self again

21. Remember Duncan posting this. If you have climate control, and you press in the rotating fan button, you get the option to adjust where the air blows.
22 - If you press the Un-lock button on the keyfob for more than 3 sec, the electric windows will open
23 - If you press the Lock-button on the keyfob for 3 sec, the windows will close/you can partly close the windows by stop pressing the button before windows fully closed.
24 - For cars with Bluetooth and climate control-if the fan is set to auto and you recieve or make a call the fan will blow more quietly. Also works with some aftermarket handsfree kits when the headunit is on mute.
25 - Dualzone climate temp sync: when both temp-regulators are at same temp, push the drivers regulator once. Then you will get same temperature on both sides as long as you only adjust with the drivers knob. Handy when you mainly use the car alone. As soon as the passengers knob is used, the sync will stop and reverting back to normal operation.
26 - Passenger side mirror to flip down when reverse: For models with seats with memory: When button for adjusting passenger side mirror is selected in drivers door panel, the mirror will flip down when reversing, and of course going back to normal position when not reversing.
27 - When you want to cruise outside England, just put any maxi fuse in the 37 slot of the engine bay fuse box. This will switch your headlights as if the car was a left hand drive. (I think this only works with AFL option, but you might try with the other versions too).
28 - If like me you found the rain sensor not working to well, just open the plastic casing behind the rear view mirror and disconnect the plug....this will return the wipers to normal operating mode (i.e. you can adjust to how often you want them to come on with the roller)

30. u can't start your car until the petrol cap is properly closed.
31: On FL estate: Rear wiper runs at half the speed of front wipers (twice the interval). When running rear wiper only you can change the rear wiper speed by adjusting the interval knob...[/quote]
32: If, like me, you lose one touch window open/close overnight, sit in car with ignition on, lower each window, close window then hold button for three sconds once closed. Hey presto, one touch open/close reinstated.
33: If you want side lights and front fogs on only, switch on headlights, switch on front fogs then switch back to sidelights. Doesn't work other way round, (ie sidelights first then front fogs).
