Discovered today that that the Auto-Hold feature can be temporally disabled when you shift the gear selector into neutral and press the "M" button on the console. This disables Auto-Hold for 30 minutes. Very useful for when you are taking in your truck through the car wash.

Has anyone figured out how to program the remote start on your remote/key fob? I read through these instructions from the owner's manual but it seems I need two remotes that are already programmed... not very helpful since neither of my remotes work.

That is about programming that type of remote if you get new ones. I didn't have to program the remote start on my two remotes that came with the vehicle.

Hmm... perhaps I have to get the dealership to program my remotes?

Mine just worked. Hit lock and release. Hit start twice and hold on second.
This is what worked for me. I just got in the habit of hitting the lock button and double tapping the remote start option. Works every time!

@YzermanTopShelf If yours is having issues, I'd definitely get it taken in and looked at.

Thought this might help to have a single place to put hints-tips-tricks for these trucks as folks figure things out. The smarter ones will find solutions and can let everyone know how to achieve whatever it is.(y)

An example of something that was discussed in another location. The double honk when you get out of a parked truck that is still running and have the key fob on you. A safety feature, yes, aggravating sometimes, yes.

The only thing I have found that works is to not close your door all the way. Short of voiding your warranty that is the only way I have found.

There are some brilliant people here and these are very complex capable trucks, hope to see some great things.
My driveway has a slope and a gate, when I pull up to the gate to open it some times I forget to hold the door and then it shuts and honks two times, I'm sure my neighbors aren't liking it early in the morning, wish there was a way to disable it.

Why does the Instrument display always default back to a list with My View and other options? Is there a way to make it stay on the last selection I was using after restarts? I like keeping it on the Lane Centering view.
There is a recall for that issue. Mine does it too. When I go to the dealer for my oil change I'll have them fix that.

Leaving the door cracked is the only thing I have found, short of leaving you key fob in the truck.

Is there a way to change the order of driving modes? It seems off that it's Sport, Eco, Trailer then normal?
I doubt it. I wish Eco and Normal were next to each other and towing was at the end.
