Thumbs up Hidden feature

Just found out that if you "stab" the brake pedal once, it will prevent the car from rolling forward on a level surface or rolling backwards on a hill. It also works when going down hill at a slow pace like when driving down into a underground parking garage.

I also discovered that if you stab the gas pedal, it'll make the car go real fast!

This sounds like SBC Hold, which is not available in the US, as far as we all knew.

That is why I asked if he had an "04. Thought maybe the SBC hold had been added to the new model year.
