I bought an '01 V8 Sport last week and it came with the Lincoln factory VHS welcome video. Just for grins I popped it in the VCR (I knew I kept that old VCR for some reason!) and found about about some standard features I never knew the LS offered:
1. Speed-adjusted radio volume: Hold down the volume knob for two seconds and a menu comes up offering levels 0-7, with 0 being no speed adjustment. The video recommends starting out on level 3.
2. Automatic windows and sunroof opening/closing: There are two ways to access this feature -
A. Put the key in the driver door lock, turn towards the front of the car to unlock, and hold it in that position. This will trigger all the windows to roll down and the sunroof to open. Doing the opposite (holding the key toward the rear of the car) will close the windows and sunroof.
B. Hold down the unlock button on the remote - this will open everything. The close feature does not work from the remote (liability issues of course).
3. Heated windshield wiper rests: Look at your front window from outside - see those yellow lines at the bottom of glass, directly under the wipers? Those are electric heaters that automatically turn on when the outside temp is below 40 degrees. Keeps the wipers from being frozen to the glass.
No point in responding to brag that you knew about all this. We don't care. I'm sure there are many LS owners like myself who were not aware of these features!
