Just tried out the adaptive headlight system tonight.......works as advertised! Have not had a chance to try the Active Parking system or the off road programs,( although I did briefly engage each off road program just to be sure they activate ). Will have have a real opportunity to try the off road stuff later in the month. Other observations.......the soft close doors work nicely, I have had no false collision alerts, lane keeping system is definitely alert even if you are not, 3 zone climate control was worth it, 2nd row headrests are not as comfortable as the previous generation but the seats are a tad better, seat massage program is interesting but only mildly effective, voice control seems much more refined and workable, front multi contour seats are way more supportive and comfortable than the previous generation........first 100 miles are on the meter! 100 mile round trip tomorrow.

since you have the 3 zone climate control... do you have any idea how to get air to come out from the front seat back and roof? I can get air flow from the center, door vents and foot vents but cant figure out how the rest works.

Not sure if this will help.....but...... I was not getting any air from those roof vents in the back until I went to the 2nd row seat and turned the control system to "auto"....then all the roof and side vents became active! I think if you see the "zone" lit in read on the front passenger climate control, then the back folks need to have the system in the auto position or manually set to an "on " position in order to have those vents working OR if you turn the "zone" function off on that front passenger side..... you can control it all!

Yes, those vents are the air intake vents for the ventilated front seats. Air doesn't come out of there, only in.
My wife asked me if that is a direct path to the rear passenger seating if the ventilated seats aren't on and I've eaten too many beans - if you smell my drift.
