Your knobs the same as my knob, and i thought my knob was nice, but now that i know you have the same knob as my knob i feel less special?

lol

knob :)


Something i noticed today in the euro, probably slow of me, but infront of the down lights for the driver/passenger theres a little grill that looks like a speaker should be under there?

Is this for overseas models which have some kind of integration with phone etc?

I think its the front tweeder for your speaker.

Tried the navi thing on my gps and it worked, i accidently pressed a button on tyre calibration, set it to level 1 lol whatever that means. is it possible that this thing can calibrate our spedos if you change tyres?

Can the shift boot sit any higher, or is that how it is with the skunk2 knob?

yeah it can, i think you gotta take out the white bit(standard clip) of the orignal. and somehow make it sit up nice n high. cable tie maybe but it mite look a dodgey. i know that adam at 999 sell after market shift boot and different colour leather too.. once ive got some free time on my hands ill look at it and figure it out n once its nicer ill post another pic.

if anyone on here has done it before, some tips be great. :cool:

in the overseas models (us i think?) there is an ultra sonic sensor in there, its used for the car alarm so u can leave the windows down, if someone reaches in, the alram goes off :D very cool

lol because the old knob uses a plastic holder to keep the boot up they sit like that... i have DC5R knob (basically exact same as spoon knob) and i cut down my gear stick and re-threaded it... makes it sit lower and the boot covers it...

Heated mirrors are good for low temp countries like Canada, its of no use in Aus 90% of the time. But yeah there are some other nice features listed in the Manual that we dont get. Honda Aus need to be competitive and get around the high cost of cars in Aus, so they need to remove a few features here and there.

Not sure if this works universally but when I hold the CD/AUX button for about 10 seconds the Temp and Audio/Clock display above the sat nav unit switches off. Holding it down again then switches it back on.

Guys, this is the adapter i use so the DC5R or skunk2 knob can seamlessly match the shift boot...its a bit expensive for a bit of aluminium but its worth it :D

dont know if it has been covered or not, as i wasnt going to read all 44 pages..
but while revving the car in neutral (manual version) there seems to be an auto cut-off/redline point at 4500rpm..

its normal for both manual and auto. because during neutral there isnt enough air going into the engine for the cams and to be going hard at that much rpm.

cant say I agree with this. for example, VTEC engines rev fine on a dyno with no wind, and the stock intake doesnt catch the wind.

I believe its more likely to be a safety feature, i.e. when you accidentally hit the accelerator when idling, or its to stop people from dumping the clutch/auto into 1st gear at an excessive RPM that could damage the tranny.

It is there to protect your engine. Free-revving is bad for your engine, hence that 4500rpm. You can defeat it and rev to 7000rpm if you wanted to...

i actually cut my shifter about 2-3cm shorter, then rethreaded it, because i reckon the stock knob hieght is too high. then i cable tied the boot on the shaft inside out and then flipped it down... i think it looks sexy :D

Not sure if this has been posted yet. I was driving today and found that the center hand rest can move forward and backward, so that people with short arms like me, can still rest their arm while changing gears :P

Ive got an 03 lux so im not sure if this is the case for other models?

When I sat in the car and found that it comes out, I thought I had broken it, but then realised it was a feature....and an awesome at that too :D

I havent seen any other cars that have that feature.....anyone know of any? or is the euro one of a kind?

01-10-2008, 12:11 AM
yea it does look, at the middle compartment, and look inside towards more to the left, it has a little hinge of some sort so you can fit about 7 thin cd cases or 3 - 4 normal cd cases.

Hi guys, not sure if it's because I'm a noob, but I can't seem to bring the windows down using the remote key if I hold the "unlock" button. I have the CU2 Luxury if this makes any difference?
Also can't seem to move the center handrest in my car. Could this be because the CU2 does not have these functionalities?

I've noticed it there, but didn't think it was for CDs, coz its like...5cm gap. I guess if you have 5CD cases jammed in at once it'd work.

As far as i know, the head light levelers on the CL9 luxury are under the bonnet. Two knobby things just above each headlight! they have arrows on them, never tried turning them though.. don't wanna be blinding peolpe on the roads by accident haha :D

sonnic
06-02-2010, 09:20 AM
Ryan, the headlight level adjustment switch on the dash is only available in the Euro Standard because Euro Luxury has auto-levelling for the xenon headlights.
Simonnn is correct about the knurled knobs but most workshops have a headlight aiming machine and can reset the lights correctly in a matter of minutes.

unlock ur car with the key button. then after press and hold the unlock key. all windows will go down.

Then if you put the key in the door and lock it, then again lock it and hold, the windows will go up. I think 06+ cl9s u can do with the lock key button (not sure, I remember reading something bout it, or might have been cu2)

Hold the unlock button on your remote down and all your windows will open as well after about 2-3 seconds. Great for hot days when you want to let the hot air out before you get into the car.

For the CL9, if you want to wind all the windows up, just lock the door by sticking the key into the lock and turning clockwise, release and then turn clockwise again a 2nd time and hold it in that position for 2-3 seconds. The windows will then wind up. Release the key and remove once all the windows are up.

Found an interesting feature on mine the other day.. somehow got into the settings for the trip computer (cant remember off the top of my head) and it let me select the option to turn ON where TRIP A automatically resets back to 0.0 when you put fuel in.. quite a handy feature as I ALWAYS reset my trip once putting fuel in so i know how many KM i'm getting out of a tank. It leaves trip B as how you left it.

Also, this is my second Euro as my first one was written off.. my new one has NAV and is Auto.. that is the only differences compared to my old one. Anyway, I've noticed that on my trip computer it actually has words and pictures where as my old one (also was a 2006 model) only had pictures. For example, if i left my key in the ignition and openned the door it would beep and have a big orange key symbol come up on the little screen. Where as on my new one, It has the picture (slightly smaller) and says "IGNITION KEY"

Any idea why the trip computer would be different between my two Identical 2006 Euro Luxury's? Surely the sat NAV has nothing to do with it... afterall its just the trip computer that the base model has!

roony
06-01-2012, 03:47 PM
Couple things I found by mistake before reading, was the center console arm rest can be pulled out. Mate was sitting in front and he did something and it came forward. I was like WTH, did u just break it? lol.

Also left the hand brake up once by mistake, nice of the car to beep as I gained speed :).

Also was mentioned in the earlier posts for the std model (eg when ur stopped at the lights), that when u lift ur foot of the break (auto car), the wiper will wipe if the setting is on intermittent. In a manual though, I always stop with the hand brake up, dont rest my foot on the brake. On intermittent the wiper stays at the lowest setting and it does wipe (nothing about having the foot on/off the break). It goes back to the normal speed (the setting you set it on) after crossing 20km/h.

Just thought I would mention again in case anyone doesnt know, you can hook your fuel cap cover on the inside of fuel panel. its so convenient when filling.

has anyone seen their temp have a reading of below zero?? lowest i saw on mine was 0deg, and wasn't sure if the computer will go down to minus, or if it just wasn't that cold...

ski season is crapola in 2006
Yes -14c and no snowflake , it appeared a couple of times when the car thought I needed to slow down and the traction control light came on !

Hi Guys,

dunno if this had been asked but i thought i'd raise the question
just below my HID headlights theres a small box anyone know what that is? or just left there as factory option for other stuff?

yes! what the hell? haha i didn't know there was a washer under that.. i thought it was like a removable panel for a tow strut or something :S
how do you turn on the washer?

^ nope,

switch your headlights on then the windscreen washers.

CBFD skipping back a few pages to see if posted or not but if you press and hold the CD/AUX button for around 5-6 seconds it turns the radio display off

Turn headlights on then pull the windshield wash lever and voila!

what am i doing wrong?

wind screen has water..so it should draw water from the same source?

Lazarus
23-02-2012, 10:19 AM
Yeah it uses the same tank.
Well..if you turned on headlights and pulled the windshield washer on and it doesn't work..then i'm assuming there's some issue with it...might be best to get it checked out..however might be a waste of money =/
Try again? maybe something is stuck

looks cool when doing also but sprays more then needed, meaning that it sprayed all over my bonnet then just my headlights

Just tried my headlight washers today, just flick the lights on and pull the lever and water should start spraying...
The jets are really crazy as they wet the whole bonnet which is pretty out of control.

lmao yeah i tend not to use them for that reason LOL

i`ll take pics tomorrow, however when i pulled the jets out before there were a lot of spider webs i'd assume it hasn't worked for the previous owner aswel.
anyways ill do the usual fuse check and more water in the washer bottle first and see.

here is a pic i took tonight.

haven't had the chance to check the fuse yet. btw if a fuse is blown does it show an error on the dash?

btw it can't be a water issue because the washer jet doesn't even pop out.


POST: fixed it the washer liquid was extremely low.

Maybe the motor that pushes the washers up has given up? But really i dont see the point in using them, its too strong and you bearly need to wash them anyways.
we dont really have snow here and we're not in a desert.

In my 09 Lux there is a button for the headlight washers on the right hand side of the dash, just above the parking sensor on/off button. So you can wash your headlights without washing your windscreen.

for the cl9 owners, who think they only got one automatic window (well i did :P) you can double press the passenger and it'll automatically go down (without holding it down)

I got a '04 and it did not work for me, all though I can not seem to get the drivers side to come down auto either, I think I may be double pressing to quickly.

^ omg I DISABLED THE AUTO DRIVER WINDOW SOMEHOW. HOW TO FIX?!?

a bit of googling.. but try this?

How to reset the driver's side auto-up/down window:

1) Turn car on.
2) Roll drivers window down all the way.
3) Roll window up and keep holding the button in the up position for 2-3 seconds after the window is all the way up.
