Things you don't notice at first - Or for a while

[TrlRnr]

I hope this isn’t a repeat, but I just noticed it….
For those who have navigation - view map - in the lower right hand corner is the speed limit of the roadway you are on. The sign is black until you exceed the speed limit, at which time it turns red.

Took me months before I realized there were controls on the back of the steering wheel for volume and station. Only brand I have owned that does that.

You have not owned certain GM vehicles then.........Yukon, Tahoe, Sierra, etc.

I was used to it because of my wife's Grand Cherokees over the years.

No Chevy products in my history. Lots of fords, Hondas, audi, etc. On my 3rd jeep, it was my 2017 jk that took me a while before I knew those buttons were there. My dealer was useless, didn't even know how to fold the top down.

You can go a step further and set a notification. Mine audibly tells me if I go 10 over the speed limit.

You gotta look fast at that one! Poof and it's gone!

Mine does not have the little Jeep driving or the 1941 on the tach. It is a sport S. My brother's Willys has both.

Do you have the tech package? My sport s Max tow has the Jeep and 1941 upon startup.

I don't have the tech package, I just got the 8.4 stereo. I also have the Max tow package. I figured the little Jeep driving was just a standard thing in all Jeeps.

Without the digital center screen above the steering wheel, you won't have the Jeep.

I hate it when people don't even know what they are selling. Mine knew the Jeeps inside and out. Even the financial guy knew all about the home link and other accessories.
When I bought the Silverado I had a few years ago, they knew the trucks, but they also had a couple of guys who could answer pretty much any question as far as how to use or do something, even towing experience. Impressive.
But I've seen my share of "gee, I don't know what that does" as well - worse, they don't get find the answer.

Just noticed the image of a 1942 willys front end transitions to a new JT front end on the dash. Owned for 9 months and primary driver.

Mine screams at me when I'm 10 over, then hits me when I'm 20 over. I don't have to set it. It's just automatic.

We must have gotten the same model - but mine broke a couple of years ago during the derecho when all I heard was "FASTER FASTER! It's gaining on us!"

Should have heard mine when we bought the 2nd Class A diesel motorhome. Got on the highway heading home from the dealer. Just cruising down the 4 lane. Wifey looks over and asked how fast we are going. I looked down and gingerly said, "85". She said........"this ain't the sports car..........SLOW DOWN........"

Took me a year to realize that my seat backs lock. Handy when the doors are off.

Not sure I follow - which part locks?

edit: I see it…til after 12500 miles and 1 year.

The uppers, there’s a key slot next to the pull strap to fold them.
