On the same note did you try to hang the gas cap by the threads on the door like most cars? Took me a sec to realize what the little hook and loop were for.

I too got stumped by the fuel door, btw. And I also came from a 350Z. I kept reading the manual and in the section re. the fuel door, it just describes how to unlock your doors. I was like 'what does that have to do with anything???' Then it occurred to me to try pressing it.

newb moment - had been away from driving a manual for about 5 years. the first time i went to fill the car up with gas, i forgot to leave the car in gear or at least pull the parking break. i got out of the car and went around to the pump to get it started and noticed the car slowly rolling back out of the corner of my eye!! good thing i had the windows down - i jumped in through the passenger window far enough to yank the parking break up and stop the car, looking like a complete dumb ***.
as far as i could tell, only the attendant inside the store saw me. i guess i dont feel so bad now, though. at least i knew how to open the fuel door

I almost had to pull out the owners manual, then the light click. The embarrassing thing was that I had a line of cars waiting to pump gas behind me.

I just bought the car, the guy pulled it around and parked it, we went over the checklist, he gave me the keys and said enjoy it. He walks away and I go to put it into reverse and ....
All I'm getting is 6th. Now I tried everything to get it into reverse, tried to find a collar to lift, push it through a gate w/ resistance (i.e. BMW), everything. I run in to the dealership to find the guy and am like, uh, how do you put the car in reverse? haha. That's when I found out that you had to push the stick down and then over to get it in reverse. And yes, I did test drive the car before I bought it, but I never had to back it out.

I spent hours during my first days of owning my new base Z trying to figure out why my music played only through the front speakers. A thread on this Forum answered the question for me. In retrospect, maybe I wasn't really to be blamed, as I never knew of any other car that had control settings and places for rear speakers with none included and an owner's manual that made no mention of it. As they say, "Go figure!"

It took me about 2 months two realize there was an actual key INSIDE the fob!
