Be cautious of the interior door release handles. They can bite.

I can imagine its a safety feature...in case the memory position is all up to front and you are in the car and get crammed between seat and stearing wheel. When door is open they may assume you are not sitting in there yet and move w/o holdup all the way.

On PDK models, Double tapping the right paddle in highest gear allows car to coast as if putting engine in neutral. This works in normal mode. Not sure if works in Sport or Sport plus.

which cupholder do you mean by "passenger cupholder"? The one that comes out of the dash or the one in the door?

I can see if they did this for safety reasons. Imagine driver position A is for a 4 ft 10 person and driver position B is for a 6 ft 5 person. If you accidentally press the button and it starts moving mid-drive, it could put them in a dangerous situation

Some cars won't fill the full tank all the way if the gas pump handle isn't oriented at 9 o'clock. My .22 C4S cab would stop at 3/4 full unless I did that.
There's a thread somewhere here on this.

Don’t leave FAL up when you park the car. There’s no warning message about this. I put a sign in my garage to remind me.

to realase the seat back pull strap, first press the heel of your palm on the seat back and push towards the back, then pull the strap. this can be done with one hand and works perfect every time.

- Holding down the volume **** for a few seconds will turn off the PCM display.
- Pressing and holding the fob lock and unlock button simultaneously for a few seconds until the red fob light turns on and off will disable comfort access and conserve battery life. It will also allow you to wash the car without the trunk constantly opening.

Ok then just do it so the seat only moves when the car is not moving. My truck does this. I get an error message if I try to use memory function while driving. Alternatively I can just hold down the memory button down while in the Porsche and driving and it works. I can also adjust the exit entry position in my truck but not the Porsche.

Sport mode disables the annoying auto stop start.

Same with outside handle, this is a fav feature of mine...

This felt backwards to me until I realized that they programmed it like a window... Do this for me, think of a rolling down a window when you do this next, and tell me it doesn't completely change your paradigm about the button...

The one that comes out of the dash 👍
