Hidden Settings
Is there any hidden setting or button sequences in the C5
I know the reset for trouble codes, view trouble codes, and oil life.
Just curious

If you hold down the Options button and press Fuel 3 times real fast then Reset Trip and Gages in quick sequence the car gains 100 rwhp

Maybe he didn't get the "special manual" because he didn't wear the decoder ring and give the secret handshake when he picked up the car.

But under NO circumstances should you push it 5 times.
Not exactly hidden, but you can reset codes while driving (assuming you're coordinated.)

I can do my 2003's while driving also. But this isn't a hidden setting, it's clearly in the owners manual.

no...lemme correct you....it's an "alternative light source" several different wave lengths of light viewed thru glasses that filter out particular wavelengths depending on what you are trying to see.
anyway...anyone know how this project is going?
