3. Hold for 15 seconds. Your car should now be in extended tow mode.

4. Pull on the trunk emergency release handle (your're gonna have to climb back there) which is located along the middle bottom edge of the trunk. Exit that way.

5. Lock the doors.

6. Unlock (don't use remote, use the metal key!) and start the engine using the spare plastic key thing that came with the car. Or you can use the spare remote provided nothing is stored on it.

7. Start the engine, and you will notice that neither the trip computer nor the odometer will work. The I-Drive may or may not work, depending on your software edition.

8. To resume "normal" operation, get a life and stop asking stupid questions that really don't have any point and encourage stupid behavior.

thanks.

I know exactly what you mean. I was being my normal sarcastic self. Anyone who would ask that question can't be concerned about the DOT.......

lol guys guys .. the truth is , its valentines day and im planning on sneaking out the house when everyones asleep so that i could see my gf and since the closest place to me is 50 kms then i need it to stop for about 100 kms (roundtrip) .. im not planning on selling my car and even if i do , i would tell the buyer the real numbers ..

i could just take another car at home but thats more difficult since all the keys are with my sisters/brothers etc ..

my dad takes down the kms on the odometer everynight so that i dont sneak out (he has caught me a few times sneaking out in the middle of the night lol) !! ..

thats it , no big deal !!! ..
