Hi all,

yestersay I came across a thread in a honda TYPE-R forum about some tricks hondas can do, such as
1.when you choose reverse in your gearbox and your front wiper blades are on, the automatically the rear one operates....
2.Also, if you sit at the lights in neutral and rev the engine, it won't rev above 5500rpm

anyone can help to make the same list for our cars?


thanks

If I step on the gas, it goes really fast.

1: when you open the doors, there's a switch in the handle that causes the window to roll down slightly so you don't mangle your window on the rubber moulding.

2: When you lift in a corner, the car will turn for you

In cabriolets, when you put the top down you can raise the rear windows by putting your finger in the top latch hole while pressing the rear window buttons.

If you raise the spoiler while your foot is on the brake, you can see the car switch to the other brake light.

When I step on the gas in a long sweeping corner, the hottie (my wife) in the right seat starts to giggle like a school girl; it's magic and it's all good!

When you put the car in reverse, the right passenger mirror drops 40 degrees.

Is this true? Only had my 996 in my garage for 3 days so still discovering things. My Lexus has this feature and I love it.

I have power seats with memory - when I program my seat position, if I have the gear shift in Reverse it activates this feature. It doesn't do it without this memory setting. Not sure how it works for cars without power seats, but it was in the manual somewhere.

Also, IIRC, you have to make sure the mirror adjustment thing is set to the driver's side. If it's set to the passenger side it defeats this feature IIRC (I know it does in BMWs, pretty sure it does in Porsches)

You can roll up or down the windows using the key in the driver's door. The unlock direction rolls them down, the lock direction rolls them up.

You can turn on the radio when the key is not in the ignition. Just open the door and turn it on.

If you shut the ignition off with the headlights on, the main headlights will power off, leaving only the "city lights" on. (With my litronics, at least)

If you open the trunk with the key fob, the doors are unlocked. If you do not open a door, after a while, they lock again. (This is also true if you unlock the doors with the fob)

To have the mirror dip in reverse, put it in reverse and then push the memory button for your seat position.



If you turn the lights on before you turn the key on, the litronics go through their self leveling phase.

The mirror feature has to be turned on at the dealer (mine was off, and I do have power memory seats). They can also program the doors to lock at 5mph.
