So I have this button on the console. It looks like the letter A with a round arrow over that is almost a complete circle that goes from left to right. To the left of it is the word "off" so I guess that means it is off be default. I thought maybe the A stood for acceleration and the arrow meant increased acceleration if I pushed it. So I did and noticed no increase in acceleration but I did notice when I stopped at a light the auto start/stop no longer worked. What am I doing wrong?

Okay sorry for this. I might or might not have a had a few drinks tonight. I'll show myself to the door now. :p

The buttons/switches are apparently too complex for the driver? Oh boy, what is going on today?

Any more questions about buttons and they haven't read the manual should be punished. Not sure how, Mod's choice.

All I had to do to permanently disable auto stop/start, apparently, was wait for winter. Truck hasn't shut itself off since October.

Oh my.. I was joking based on the other magic button thread. Yeah my joke was stupid. I'm drunk. Please forgive me.

Me too. You try to play along but it doesn't translate well. It was fun for a few posts.

You can use forscan to delete this.

Just hook it up to the truck, and at random just start hitting buttons and clicking ok with the mouse for everything.

Dont stop untill you see red symbols on the dash

Aww, I missed all that fun today.
Can we free Budule? ?
He was a lot of fun and entertaining and just joined this week. He probably just needed RPs help with the manual.
I'd love to see him with a Tesla. :giggle:
Yeah he was fun, but Kevarmy79 is still the best. He was the master of magic buttons.

EDIT: Oops… I mean master of prop rods. Sorry. Carry on…
