Default Z34 Secret/Unknown Features

So over at Fj Cruiser forums we had a thread where people would share features that are not commonly known to everyone. I searched and didn't find anything but if this is a duplicate let me know.

Either way, I'll start us off.

Did you know if you hold your unlock button for a few seconds it rolls your windows down.

A feature I have had experience with is the one that randomly causes the steering lock mechanism to fail, stranding you.

Like we say in the software business -- "It is not a bug. It is an undocumented feature".

Or how about the one where a "track ready NISMO" has oil overheating and brakes failing when you actually drive it on the track.

More awesome features!

If you hold the horn button down for 10 seconds with your foot on the brake, it activates the lumbar massage feature.

If you are at a busy intersection with a green light or in stop-and-go traffic and you put the car in neutral (parking brake on if on a slope) and use the brake pedal to signal SOS with your brake lights, the car behind you will automatically start honking its horn to alert the authorities. If it doesn't work the first time, keep trying.

Does it roll them up as well?

Used to have this feature on my benz 400E and it was great when you forget to roll the windows up but you're already out of the car locking it up.

You can raise the windows by inserting the key hidden in your fob into the key lock in the door and turn and hold it.

if you have a touring model there is actually a special combination of flicking the heat controls that will eject your annoying passenger.

D:H-OFF-H-OF-L-OFF-L
P: L-OFF-L-OFF-H-OFF-H

then flick your cruise control and say 'BON VOYAGE!'

this only works if you're moving above 100km/h ~60mph though.

For 7AT you can probably put it in reverse while driving. In my old old Accord this would put the trans in neutral but enable the reverse lights
