Tips and tricks

Anyone know any tips or tricks about the 2017 SD that we may not be aware of?

I just learned to roll the front windows down with the key fob by pressing unlock and then holding down the unlock button while standing outside of the truck. Sorry if I'm late to the party on this one.

yes, you have to have remote settings selected for window opening. Go into the settings tab on the far right, there is a whole bunch o stuff to play with. Auto hi beam, auto easy entry/exit, remote settings for HVAC and heated steering wheel.

To truly find all the gems go through each tab seperatly, customize the far right tab for what you want to see most importantly. easy to tab up and down in it while driving, but have to be in park for some of the things when adjusting settings.

Trick I learned about the power running boards:

If you put pressure on them when out and door open then you close the door, they will stay out. Helps when you go to wash it!

467echo.. there's also a menu setting for that.. they'll also retract if they try to open and you're standing close. They barely touch you and pull back up.
