Power Outlet Locations?

The manual pg 139 indicates that there are 4 power outlets in the car. 1) Trunk, 2) Front console behind the cup holders, 3) Rear Seat area and 4) Underneath the glove compartment.

I can't find the power outlet underneath the glove compartment. There is hole that is the correct size for a USB car adaptor but it is not a power outlet.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

My M4 has 4 power outlets in the locations you mentioned, which includes the one by the glove compartment.

I just checked again to make sure I wasn't mistaken. My US M4 has all 4 power outlets.

There are a couple of discrepancies between the manual and what is available on the car (I believe for Canadian's)

1) Missing power outlet under glove compartment
2) When pressing the ridge on the door handle, the manual mentions that the windows (if open will close), doors will lock and the mirrors will fold in. I have noticed that the mirrors do not fold in.

Minor items.

Cool. Did not know the window up function. So if I lock the door using the ridges, the windows will automatically close? Do I have to keep my finger on it?

We'll watch out for the Canadian border patrol. They are just like the Texas border patrol,except they don't have guns and, well, don't exist.......
