Buttons?
Well since I don't have my manual for the car... what does the towing button do? It is above the AC, looks like a hook wit the rear wheels highered. And then around the shift knob, there is a selection W and S... I believe it's some kind of suspension or Summer/Winter selection... what is it? Thanks guys!!

The tow button activates, or deactivates, your anti-theft alarm: windows, doors, trunk, and raising of car (tow). The S is summer, and the W is winter. I believe in W mode the transmission module automatically sets the gear to 2nd to avoid spinning, or loss of traction, during initial acceleration. Here in NorCal, I use W mode during our wet months.

Mine is always in the on position (activated), the alarm will not set until the vehicle is stationary, and locked for 30 seconds. The little red light on the button will blink to indicate set.

So it doesn't do anything with the suspension? The car felt weird afterwards... maybe it was just a placebo effect. haha
