Hi all! I'm a proud week-old 2011 Equinox 1LT 4-cylinder owner! I'm loving the vehicle so far, and have a couple questions I thought I'd pose to the forum members.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to you comments!

- It would appear that the "minimum" volume for phone calls is 22 or 21 or something like that. If I turn the volume UP beyond that, it "remembers" the volume as noted in the manual. Anything below 22, and it always pops back up to 22. The manual does say it will maintain a minimum volume, so I'm assuming that's 22. Does anyone know of any way to lower this default minimum? Secret menus or whatnot?
- I've noticed that when my A/C is OFF and the car is on recirc, the A/C cycles. My assumption is that it's drying the air out so the car doesn't gain humidity, and after reading a couple posts on this forum I think I'm right. The question is that when it IS on recirc, I can occasionally hear a faint hissing sound. Comes up quietly and fades back down after a just a second. I'm assuming this is normal? It's very very quiet, but with the radio off and the fan on the 1st setting (or even off) I can hear it. It's not constant either. I'm surely hoping this is normal as I don't want to visit the dealer. My previous car did this (horribly too), so I'm thinking it's all good.
- I keep ECO mode on all the time. From what I understand, it may only get me 1MPG additional. Such a small number... why do they bother with the button/mode?
- No light in the glovebox? Weird.
- I find it odd that the far left and right vents don't have a separate volume knob like the two center ones do. Am I the only one that finds this a bit annoying?
- Any 2011 or 2010 owners out there have a Dashmat?
