I was out camping last weekend. The rear jacks on my 2012 Tour would not go down in "Auto" mode - only in Manual mode. Front were fine.

Any suggestions? Sounds like something needs to be reset.

Removing lug nut covers and Polishing

Quick question. I assume the lug nuts have a cover on them. How do you remove them? I want to clean around/behind them.

Also are the wheels coated or can you use a polish on them?
