Since this button unlocks the car, your fuel door is unlocked during the process. I don't think it's there for fuel door.

Every time I go to a gas station, I turn the ignition off right away (in NJ here, full service). Or else I get the "why won't this guy open the gas door" look from the attendant.

What's a gas station attendant?

Thanks! Was going crazy looking for that lol

To be able to pop the trunk for a passenger who has just exited the vehicle...

Am I missing something really obvious?

I agree. My 300ZX has the release right next to the driver-side door on the floor - a perfect location and extremely convenient. I have to open my trunk frequently for inspection where I work and its a huge pain to have to get out of the car and open it for the guards who think I'm a giant douche. There needs to be a button

...and if you push and hold the lock button long enough, the top will go down on the roadster. It's designed to let all of the hot air out of the car before you climb in. Very snazzy!

The battery icon on the head unit displays the battery life on your phone. I don't have nav either, just the touring package and the display is pretty accurate. Maybe it depends on what phone you have.

In both my Z and my Sequoia it shows the battery lower than it is. iPhone 4. It doesn't bug me any.

I suspect this has to do with the fact that the iPhone (along with any apple product) was designed to be skipped across a pond and never intended for human use.

You guys are kidding, right? From page 3-18 of the owner's manual:

SECONDARY REAR HATCH RELEASE
The secondary rear hatch release mechanism
allows opening the rear hatch in the event of
discharged battery or emergency.
The release handle is located under the cargo
room floor. To open the rear hatch from the
passenger compartment, perform the following
procedure.
1. Remove the cargo floor mat.
2. Find the rear hatch release handle *1 as
shown in the illustration.
3. Free the release handle that is fixed with
velcro.
4. Firmly pull the release handle until the rear
hatch releases.

Is this really easy and convenient to do? I've not tried it, but my complaint was that there wasn't an easy button to press in the c0ckpit to pop the trunk. This seems more like "Your battery died" than user convenience. It's nice to know it's there, but still not very useful.

370Z Purist · 02-24-2011, 05:16 PM

Here's the answer to your question, OP.

If you pressed down the gas cap while the car was locked, it will remember that it was pushed down. If you then unlock the car, the gas cap will pop open. When you close your gas cap down next time, push it a bit softer and it should not pop open when you next unlock the car.

The battery icon is actually for your phone, but it's terribly inaccurate.

Is anyone familiar with the SCRL button in the 2009 z? The owners manual labels it as the "Scroll" button and then doesnt seem to mention anywhere in the manual. I'm trying to figure out what it actually does or what it's used for. I have the "FM-AM-SAT RADIO WITH COMPACT DISC (CD) CHANGER (models without navigation system)." I was hoping to configure the SAT radio to scroll the different displays (i.e channel name, artist etc..) without having to push the DISP button for each one.

happytheman · 07-03-2011, 06:28 PM

I've wondered what the SCRL button was for as well.

SCRL button: When a title is displayed but it is a long one, the whole title is not shown in the display. In this case, push the button to scroll the title. When the title is scrolled to the end of it, the display will stop moving and return to the first condition.

Hope that helps!

A thread full of misinformation from months ago....is back...

LOL...you are right...unlocking the doors unlocks the fuel door...sounds like he had a defect with it opening itself.

The bar indicator for the phone is bluetooth signal strength and not phone battery level at least in my car....

happytheman · 07-04-2011, 11:04 AM

/\ I have both..a battery indicator AND a signal indicator. I do believe that the battery indicator is inaccurate as well.
