If the manuals were specific to the options you have then maybe....but dealers are lazy (Especially in this digital / download age) and just include everything meaning you troll through pages or irrelevant information!....so many of the features are useless too, especially on the Satnav.

... and the operator's manual is by definition generic so a lot of the stuff you get sucked into reading is (maybe) fantastic but irrelevant as not available in your country. Or not exactly the same in your MY. So certain aspects are superfluous but you don't know it until too late!

For that reason, I prefer by far the Porsche: Good to Know app on the phone as its tailored to your vehicle very closely and you can do a search for stuff more accurately. A case of not RTFM but RTFA (think about it ) .
Anyway back to the OP's question ... for me it's the facility to choose so much of what's displayed on the MFD - fuel consumption/range, engine data, audio, phone and so on. Excellent.

Being a tall lad, the drivers seat is all the way back. The SE said no one would be able to sit behind me. When the rear seats are folded flat, the headrest on the one behind me, always prevented the seat from folding flat. Then found that they could be removed completely, job done.

Same problem for me, but I cant get the headrest to come out pressing the button and pulling I thought would work, but I guess I am missing something or do I just need to pull harder?

There is a button on the other leg if you want to release completely.

On my MY2015 Turbo the front headrests cannot be removed, only the rear ones.

Best tip is read the effing manual! Even in these days of short attention span it's not that difficult. We've seen so many questions on here that would have been answered by a quick reference to the manual. It's a shame that there are so many owners driving around blissfully unaware of many of the features of their car.

Nuclear Nick, Chill out pal. The topic was a question for all, who found things out after time. People might read the manual, but first timers might be unaware of how tight things may be, and what pressure is needed. I'm stronger than most and can damage things in a heart beat. It pays to be careful reather than sorry.
Keep the catch adjacent to the seat top depressed, and while doing so pull upwards, until it comes free.

This is the best thread running on this forum, thanks gents keep the tips coming, I personally find the manual far from intuitive!

Hold down the unlock button on the key fob to lower all windows. Pan roof also opens in tilt mode

Useful on a hot day when returning to the car to quickly get all the hot air out of the cabin

If you forget to close a window after you have left the car then holding down the lock key will close any open windows (and pan roof)

Google Nav search in PCM allows voice input - you can say "London Gatwick Airport North Terminal" and it will find it. Saves a lot of typing and much safer if driving.
