Default Had it for a week now

Bought my Caliber SXT exactly 1 week ago.
So far, I love it! I'm 6'4" tall and I really fit nice in it. The 2.0 engine is pretty peppy, though I'm waiting for a cold air induction and cat-back that won't cost an arm and a leg, the CVT is great, I always get questions and complements on it wherever I go.
The only problems I have with it are the stupid center console arm rest sliding back and forth all the thime, and the chill zone thingie not staying when you slide it up, (as I see others have discussed in other threads), but my main complaint is the hatch should really have a keyed lock. I'd rather just slap the key in and twist than have to press the stinkin unlock button 2-3 times.

And oh yea, I'm 49 years old, so take that Dodge demographics!

You can set the lock system so you only have to push the lock or unlock button once.

Duh! I should RTFM.

1. Press and hold the LOCK button on the key.
2. Continue to hold the LOCK button at least 4 seconds, but not longer than 10 seconds, then press and hold the UNLOCK button. A single chime will sound to indicate this feature has changed.
3. Release both buttons at the same time.

I believe if you have the convenience group, you can go through the menu on the left gauge side (where the temp/compass is) and adjust settings like that.
