Small umbrella usually, though it's a bit of a useless place for it really if it's chucking it down! First aid kit lives in the passenger footwell net in my V90 - it fits really well there!

I keep my first aid kit in the left hand side of the boot as you open up, there is a lowered section, the kit has Velcro on it and it sits there perfectly, never moves. Don’t use the strap at all.

Another one for keyless entry cars: you can safely leave a spare key in the car- once you lock a car with a second key the key left in the car is deactivated- until the car is unlocked again.

I used this for the first time this week , it saved me a whole load of grief. Thank you.

When parking on my drive I have to creep up slowly very close to the house wall to less than a foot away, this usually brings on either stop start auto hold before I get close enough, pushing gear selector to the left in manual mode stops engine cutting out before I am close enough.

The sunroof can be opened fully by pressing the button a second time (once it has stopped at its normal open position).

Good if you don't mind a bit more speed-related noise/booming from the sunroof compared to normal.

I'm looking for a tip on the best way to secure the car with my two dogs inside it, whilst I am taking a quick trip into the supermarket.

I don't want the dogs to set off the car alarm. I don't want anyone to be able to enter the car (ie. open the car's side doors or boot lid).

In warm weather, I would also like to be able to leave the windows cracked open about 1-2" and also the sunroof opened partway too.

Am I expecting too much to be able to do all this?

If you swipe to the right hand screen, there should be a button for Reduced Guard, near the bottom of the buttons as I recall.
