There is one little quirk about the C6 that still catches me and if I
remember right it got me once in the C5. The interior light knob on the
lower left dash can be bumped by your knee and turn the interior lights on.
For some reason they will not time out when turned on there and it has
killed the battery twice. I've not tried to duplicate it yet to ****ed to
have to go through the restarting/charging process when I wanted to be
driving it.
