Stupid Clubman Questions
I have always believed that the only stupid question is on not asked.... so...
I have a new clubman..
for all you clubman owners...
Do you see any indication that the rear doors are open on the dash?? I know the interior lights are on.. but is there a bell or a light on the dash??
for you clubman owners with steptronic...
Does your steering wheel lock when the car is in park??
and another thing.. does the little fold up box come with a top?? do you take the bottom liner and reverse it somehow??

Ok.. another stupid question..
the sport push button...
when i press that button.. i get a little sign in the tach that says sport.. the auto trans readout changes to DS and the green light comes on....
is that different,, from just taking the shifter and putting it in manual mode??
the brochure seems to read as if there are 3 combinations.. I cant seem to "feel" a difference..
any body notice anything??

It is actually very difficult to drive off with the rear doors open as they pop open if you try to close them gently - unlike the club door, which will be held by a safety catch if you don't slam it properly. (So the warning display is especially helpful to check that.)
I can't comment on the Sport button on an auto as I'm manual too but it also firms and sharpens the steering response slightly.

There are 8 different AT configurations:
D - full auto
DS via sport button - full auto
DS via shift - full auto
DS via shift w/sport - full auto
full time M via shift or paddles
full time M via shift or paddles plus sport
Temporary M via paddles from D
Temporary M via paddles from DS via sport button

Kinda. There's a thread Coupe Talk that mentioned the multiple ways the auto shifter can work in various combinations:

Do you mean like in the image here where there's only one reverse light?
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...63&postcount=8
I believe that the reverse light is on whichever side the driver is on...

maybe i am thinking, they put the light either on left or right in different parts of the usa or country...or i could be wrong and it should be only on the right.
i really dont like the reverse light cause it makes you think the other light should be on and that it is not working..i dont know why they use that feature, the least they could have done was make the reverse light on both sides, not one cause it does not make sense and does not even look good cause it looks like there is a light not working on the right

The Sport button changes the throttle response and steering sensitivity. In auto trannys the sport mode (DS) makes the revs higher at shift points. I believe that the sport button in combination with sport mode also makes shifts faster between gears as opposed to normal mode (D) auto. It is possible that manual shifts with the sport button depressed are faster as well but I have no way to confirm this.
