Since I have a case of sometimers, and will never be able to remember all the different steps, I tried to print out the info. It comes out with all kinds of over printing. Any suggestions?

If you highlight and copy (right-click and select "Copy") the text in my first post, then open up a blank Word document, right-click inside this document and there should be a few "paste" options from which to choose. As you hover over each, a preview of its formatting will appear. select the version you want.

Also, here's a link to something similar but with codes, as well.

Hey, never be ashamed of being in your 90s. My aunt is 96 and still drives her Subaru Legacy. I have 2 hour discussions with he and she never ceases to amaze me with her sharp wit. A few of things can help to keep your mind sharp:
1. Periodic fasting - skip dinner once per week. Studies show that your memory can actually get better after doing this for only a few months.
2. Eat walnuts, pistachios, macadamias, and pecans (not necessarily all four) to boost brain and heart health.
3. Try to never stop learning.

#21 works like this. If the engine is running and you try to open the trunk by pressing the trunk release button on the dash, it will not open. However, if the parking brake is on, the trunk will open when you press the button.

It could be that someone customized theirs, sold their C5 and then the new owner discovered it, thinking it was factory-installed. I never checked it in my C5 when I still had it.

Looking at mine, there appears to be 6 bulbs on each side, 2 rows of 3. My middle rows are actually blue, but the outside ones are yellow. It looks like its just different colored bulbs though, no lenses
