Re: C4 Secrets??? (LT-4 CE)
-The little yellow "helper light" on the bottom of the rear-view mirror that illuminates the shifter area
-That you can put your key in the driver's door and turn it twice towards the front to unlock the passenger door and a third time to pop the trunk.
-All of the option codes are in the glove box
-Tire inflation recommended pressures are on the driver's door
-The thing that looks like a little LED near the DIC buttons is a light sensor
-If you pull the seatbelts all the way out while you're buckled in, they ratchet back in to hold you tighter into the seat.
-Simply remove fuse #2 under the hood and your DRLs will be out permanently. Only thing affected is that when you unlock at night using the key fob your front turn signal lights and back up lights will not will not flash. Your front turn signals will operate normally, however.
-If you have the passive entry feature: If you lock your keys in the car, wait a few minutes and then shake the car. That will unlock the car.
-You can easily shift the M6 trans up or down without the clutch if you match revs. (Not great for longevity, however.)
-You can eject the cd from the in-dash player without turning on any power. Don't even need key in the ignition.
-When the engine is shut off, you can get the odometer reading by turning on the parking lights.
I know you guys can think of others :cheers:

Re: C4 Secrets??? (Valleybacker)
Some Odd things on my C4 -
- The 6 speed transmission shields the oil plug so I can't get a socket on it.
- To open the car when its locked, the lock mechanism is the same on both sides, so on the driver side its toward the front, passenger toward the back

The lights above the handles on the door panels can be turned on by pressing in the forward edge (84-89 only, I think ... my 88 had it, my 96 doesn't.)
The armrests on 94-96 door panels flip open, and there are map pockets there.

Tip 1. When done washing I will spray the car off and then remove the nozzle to run a full stream of water which sheets off most the water thats usually beads up. This way I only need 2 towles to dry most any vehicle!!
Tip 2. Dont forget the secret compartment under the doors arm rests.
Tip 3. I,ve owned 8 C4s if you get the chance get the LT4 you,ll thank me!
Tip 4. on a 95 or 96 the chrome collector wheels look so much better
Tip 5. Dont drive with the top down and a hot blond in the pass. seat, because your car will get less attention.

Re: C4 Secrets??? (Billy)
We have plenty of those secrets, loook in the tech tips for reading codes with the A/C.
We can also open tEh hatch by pulling on a hidden cable.
To turn off the underhood lights, simply pull the fuse.
When you have a blown fuse, you will hear a buzzing sound when the door is open(at least in my '93 it did).

I've heard stories of our PKE doing the same thing.
