Never close your eyes when approaching a busy junction.

That goes hand in hand with the "always use your horn rather than your brakes" one

If you ever go 4x4ing deep within the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. Don't lick the backs of the Ecuadorian Tree Frogs. If you do, you may feel a bit sick for a while but don't worry it wont last long as you will soon be dead.

Here's a tip I got from a copper.
Setting your entry to 'Lazy entry' at the settings menu.
Using the primary key, set seat position 1 to your driving position. Position 3 to fully back, fully lowered base for easy access and egress.
Now the clever bit, position 2 set to fully up and forward.
On exit press 3 after you've switched off the ignition to allow easy exit. It should also stay like that on your return.
Using the spare key, set the seats to default to position 2. Now if someone nicks your spare key, they'll take at least two minutes just to get in and away. (Also messes the missus  if she tries to use the Disco)
It's not perfect or anything but may be useful.
