Look at the FAQ's!

Dash lights always catch people out (button under dash to turn them on/off). Engaging reverse is an art form (into 5th then down). Petrol cap in the boot, boot release is button under dash which only works with ignition on. Seat belts invariably lock when you least want, e.g. at T junctions so you can't lean forward for visibility. If your bum gets hot while driving you have either a/ poo'd yourself or b/ the heated seats are fitted and on (button on side of steering wheel cowl).

Enjoy!

By your left knee, round black push-switch - easy to turn on/off accidentally with your kneecap!
