I bought Mother's car shampoo and 3M hand polish (?) and some 3M mitts. Have you guys found a trunk (cargo) tray that'll closely fit our B17s?

Browsing Nissan US site, there's an Intelligent Key upgrade for Pathfinder with button for Remote Engine Start. I wonder if it'll also work with our B17 (sounds like a WW2 Bomber, no?). Still doing some research. If our dealers can program it for free, it'll be cool. Key is around $300 (before discounts) for a pair.

Have you guys (and girls) been able to activate the 10kmh autolock? I have had no luck, despite following the stated procedure (or maybe I wasn't doing it correctly). North EDSA said they can activate it via Consult (some kind of car computer) but I wasn't able to go back yet.

Currently at 610kms. SPORT mode is addicting! I know it's the CVT delaying the shift which makes the car a whole lot livelier and faster (like a tiger on a leash!) but man, it's like a turbo button. hehe. At a press of a button, the car goes wild. Of course, at the cost of fuel efficiency, I am sure but hey, it's break-in period so we have a valid excuse.

Being a cheapskate, I normally load it with 91 RON (the cheapest fuel available) but seeing the note of 17Sphinx on the manual, which I have only skimmed, i will try more expensive fuels. What are your impressions with different "special" fuels?

Whenever the fuel empty alerts (or when the Distance to empty is "----", I normally have the tank full and I only get up to 40 Liters. Does that mean we have a reserve of about 12 Liters (since apparently, according to the brochure, the car has a 52L tank?
Autolock? Is it the door lock? Well, mine is not locking too. I forgot to lock the door after filling up fuel and after a few kilometers I noticed that it is still open so I just manually lock it using the central lock button. I thought it will be activated by using the brake pedals. I think I will read the manual during my free time on Sunday. I just quickly browsed it while my car was being prepared.
