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

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.)

hold down your active handling button while stopped, or parking brake up, and it will enable competitive driving mode

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.
