There is another hidden option for the boot height. Open the boot. Once open, pull the boot down to the height you want and then press the left top button down until it beeps. You have now set a new height limit. This is a great little option as the height of our garage door when open is too low compared to the height of the boot.
I love the “hold” function which engages when stopped on 5 degree or more slopes. This allows you to take your foot off the brake while waiting. You can manually turn it on any time your stopped by giving the foot brake an extra hard push
Yes, and those are two distinct but similar features which are often confused (auto hold and hill hold). Most other automakers (BMW, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, etc) have a button to enable auto hold, which automatically applies the brake (and "holds") the vehicle regardless of slope every time you stop it.
You got 'coast mode' slightly wrong. What it actually does is essentially disengage the clutch pack(s), so the car is freewheeling, this prevents the car from slowing down due to engine breaking which normally occurs when off the throttle. This does not happen if you have the stop/start turned off or if you have sport mode selected 👍🏻
You missed one trick....If you go back into the settings you can program the diamond button on left side of the steering wheel. When you scroll through the setting and see a diamond, select it and you can select what you want the diamond button to activate.
Good vid, now I know how to deactivate the dam rear wiper that comes on when I select reverse. It often comes on when not needed or not enough rain for it to be worthwhile and makes horrible noise. All good. Thanks.
On the 2016 Cayenne, when you press the rear window lock function on the drivers door, not only does it deactivate the rear window switches, it also deactivates the read heated seat buttons (of fitted obvs). I thought the heated seats were sporadically malfunctioning until I finally worked it out the other day.
ps - knew all the other things but one I only found yesterday was the headlight wash/splash. I always have the lights on auto so it does not work unless the lights are physically on or in auto mode then dark. switch the lights to on and the headlight splash button under the stalk sprays the lights - marvellous 🙂
It was enjoyable to watch your video. I have already subscribed to your channel. Are you able to let me know about Macn 4 please. I want to build my confidence on all the apps and tricks. Thanks
@@paulv5283 here in US, a lots of cars including my 10 years of year Lexus able to start remotely which is a plus for winter and summer. My wife ev has that feature no doubt. I just wish My macan s has that as much as I love driving it!
12voltDOTsolutions sells a nice looking plug and play kit that allows you to hit the lock button on your Porsche fob 3 times to start it. It’s expensive tho about 700. Just picked up my Macan today but definitely thinking about getting it.
Try your “key tricks and features” with a Porsche Macan 2022 or 2023 and you will find out that not all tricks and features works with the new models….unfortunately!!!
The button to activate the steering wheel heater in my 2021 is difficult to find if nobody has told you. It's on the back of the plastic bit in the center bottom spoke of the steering wheel.
Something I would have never found on my own and was pointed out by my dealer: the heated steering button is located at 6 o'clock behind (but on) the steering wheel.
If you are in auto mode and behind traffic in a low gear you can blip your throttle and the gear box will down shift to the correct gear for overtaking or accelerating away quickly. If you don't move off quickly after a short period of time the gear box will revert back to a lower gear.
If you have the tow bar fitted and someone unplugs the electrics from e.g. trailer or bike-rack when the car is locked, the alarm will sound. Also, the speed limit display will give alternative speed limits for towing, and an extra turn signal light shows up when indicating to show trailer etc lights are working correctly. You’re welcome.
I just bought a 2020 Porsche Macan. Very informative video! What is the #4 above the speedometer in your video? And what do the two silver "pads" on the back of the steering wheel do? Thanks!
I read completely conflicting information about whether or not the 2025 Macan S ICE has a rear cross traffic alert system as an option. The Porsche web site is silent on this. Is this a hidden feature or does it not exist at all?
I have a 22 Macan. I am having a problem with the coolant level. I will get a red radiator displayed on the dashboard gauge to the right of the center display. The problem is exasperated as when the red radiator appears in the window, you cannot display anything else in the window including engine temp., etc. The radiator display disables all other features of the display which means you cannot see the engine temperature. Seems like a poor design decision. The car has been in the dealer 3 times without the problem being corrected.
Not one item mentioned here is a secret. All either standard setup, in the manual or you will find by normal daily use. And by the way, window up with remote feature is not standard in US due to regulation and requires programming or a module, consider editing your video on this point!
Hi, Where did you get your headlights from? Im looking to buy the same porsche with same year (looks a double of yours) however the headlights are halogen. Did you do the lights yourself of buy it that way? Thanks
No offense, I got this as a loaner. I've pretty much driven all the mid size SUV cars. If you are looking for luxury don't get this. And for anyone who actually needs SUV and have kids, why would you buy a SUV that rides harsh and on long drives make your butt hurts? This one is just for the enthusiasts who are now older and have children and cannot afford to put financial stress on family by getting a 911. If you one of those get this car, if not, look elsewhere...
I hate going to the dealer for services. My '24 Macan S had less than 1000 miles, yet i was told you "have to change the oil yearly, otherwise u could void your warranty." Dealers are liars, crooks, and thieves 😢

I had my Macan 2.5 years before I knew there was a button on the rear wiper that opened the boot. Keep these hidden tips coming man!
Me too!!
i like how i discover steering wheel heater lol

Brilliant stuff, really useful info. The car is an amazing bag of tricks!
Don't forget about the storage drawers under the front seats.
@@j29maniac my favorite
Have a 2024 Macan - I usually lock my doors by simply holding the key next to the door handle. Very handy.
Good vid, now I know how to deactivate the dam rear wiper that comes on when I select reverse. It often comes on when not needed or not enough rain for it to be worthwhile and makes horrible noise. All good. Thanks.
Great, helpful video thanks. The two press lock also helps when going on a car ferry and having reuirement to lock car but disable the alarm !
Looks great, can't wait to pick up my macan soon!!,

never knew about the mirrors folding like that on the key, dealer did not know but now I do cheers 🙂

Thank you 😊I was wondering how to open trunk door without key
Great tips for my macan s! I just wish it has remote engine start function in the winter
Illegal to run a car with no one in it unless on private property in the UK.

Nice job Satch!

just got mine and was wondering about that very thing!!!!

Nice video. Thanks. I miss the kick to open I had in my X3 M40i.
Nice information
If you hold the rear hatch button it will store a height setting to allow it to only open as far as you want. 👍
His stretching height is 5ft..👶

Also, the speed limit display will give alternative speed limits for towing, and an extra turn signal light shows up when indicating to show trailer etc lights are working correctly. You’re welcome.
Thank you for the video, some good information. Would you happen to know how to sync both key fobs to the same settings?
He’s bothered about the fuel cap resting on the paintwork when filling up, but 2 minutes later puts the keys on the bonnet? 😂
How do you turn on coast mode? You didn’t explain that one. Thanks
Do these tricks work on the 2016?
Slow wave of your hand near door handle to lock or unlock door (if key is near by)
2015/16 macan turbo @70-100k miles good buy or no?
Absolutely. They're a brilliant drive. You'll love it.
I just bought a 2020 Porsche Macan. Very informative video! What is the #4 above the speedometer in your video? And what do the two silver "pads" on the back of the steering wheel do?

Does the Macan also have mood lighting?
No
I have a 2017 Macan S what did you do differently to your front. Good video I can wait to go down to my car today
Tip respect my fella … can I ask you a few direct questions as I need a bit advice pls ❤
Can’t wait to buy mine
Can you start your mccan with your remote
Does the Macan also have mood lighting?
useful, thank you!
Need to add the how to turn on the heat on the racing steering wheel. It’s the hidden button on the bottom spoke.
I read completely conflicting information about whether or not the 2025 Macan S ICE has a rear cross traffic alert system as an option. The Porsche web site is silent on this. Is this a hidden feature or does it not exist at all?
This black jacket in the beginning looks so good ! What's that Barbour? Let know thanks
I tried the opening all windows, no luck. Maybe US speck is different.
Same here
thanks I did learn some new tricks from this 🤠
thanks a so much,useful,madloba

2:02 have an Audi, those are regular VAG features.
Awesome!! Thanks!
Useful video👍👍👍
Didn't know about the ability to open and close the windows with the key fob. 2016MacanS
I just got the macan gts. I need to learn the tricks on those if anyone knows. 😊
Just got mine, pla share what you learn in the past year :)
The tail botton had memory. When you want to close always at same high, stop the closing process and keep your finger and you get a bip and .. voila
A great help, thanks.😊
Thank you on my second one!'looooool! Janet jackson
The pedal commander I added gives me the sport pedal response but I can still use coast mode.
but did u change cabin filter ha
You guys never look at the instructions guide?
I can't keep my bright lights on. I use several roads with no street lights. How can I keep them on?
Push the lever. Dont pull. That only flashes the high beams
Excellent cheers
2:50 kidnaper will love this feature
rims from the thumbnail pls? make and size? does anybody know?

Hows your transfer box been?
I had mine replaced in September. 2017 Macan S. No charge.
Great car !!!!
Adding a 911 to the “ fleet” in April.
What chin lip is that?
I never knew you can fold the mirrors with the key outside of the car.
The windows unlock trick does not work on my car wtf. 2016 model
best feature is when a headlamp quits working it's close to 4 grand to replace it
Hi, Where did you get your headlights from? Im looking to buy the same porsche with same year (looks a double of yours) however the headlights are halogen. Did you do the lights yourself of buy it that way? Thanks
I held the lock button and the mirrors folded in. No luck with the windows going up or down :\
Lmao back door child locks that literally required on every car for like 40 years.
perma adjust the height by holding the boot button at the desired height, then it'll keep it at that height forever

You haven't been given the method of how to get the vehicle lock without using the key after 30 seconds.
Hello, I've been hearing this robot kind of voice that comes on randomly every time I drive. Can anyone help
DON'T LOCK KIDS IN CAR!
Pressing and keeping your finger on the fob button works like that for virtually every make of car.
Apparently, Porsche decided to take away the "Key trick" that allows you to roll the windows all the way down in the 2016 Macan S. Dang.
My 2016 does it
When are you going to add new content instead of adding a new overview as if it's new?
😮😂🙄
Excellent video I learnt a few things :-) thanks for sharing very much appreciated.
