Interesting Bits Inside Your Euro..

My 05 also warns me if I drive with the handbrake on... but obviously, I don't get that lovely text message, just that annoying chime (same as the seatbelt one I think), along with a flashing handbrake light on the dash.

Hmm, it's different on my car. I get in the car and lock the car using the remote. I then put the key in to start the car. The alarm sounds and the engine doesn't even crank.

i think you will find the reason it starts the car is because the car owns that key if you put a different key in it won't start .

therefore the car has an imobiliser you can get extra points of immobilization added to the car whick stops the fuel punp, starter moter etc thats just for your piece of mind anyway

anyone noticed that the horn used for the alarm is different to the normal car horn.

there must be seperate horn for the alarm.

Hello Guys

Dont know if this is a feature of 03 lux euro or bug. When I disarm the central locking/alarm and do not open the doors(havent actually counted how many seconds) the system rearms itself. The first time it happend I thought I must have accentently hit he button in my pocket. It has done this three times now. I just counted it now as it did it again. 25 seconds rearmed itself.

Thats what all the euro's do. The car relocks itself if you dont open any doors. :honda:

It is a safty feature. If you accendently un-arm the car and none of the door opens, it re-arm/lock it-self.
This does not count opening the boot. If you un-arm the alarm to just open the boot thinking you may open the door later; but after a while (maybe is 25 second, I did not count) close the boot. the car will re-arm. So be careful not to leave your key in the boot in this situation.

Yep did that in the first week of ownership, dropped the keys on the floor of the boot with the shopping and then the doors locked. What a pain in the a**.

Power Window Switch Illumination for passenger windows, on the Driver Side Door, will 'turn off' when the Passenger window lock is enganged.. (If that makes sense)
