someone mention before that when bored and stuck in traffic jam, you can imagine flying a plane while pulling the steering up and pushing it down.... [:D]

haha yea i read that comment. For me the steering was already at the right distance, but still good to know :D. Next time I meet my bro (who has nil knowledge of cars and doesnt own one) im gonna show him the window down feature and say I paid around 3000$ to have it installed. I know he will believe me haha.

The windows will then wind up. Release the key and remove once all the windows are up.

holy farking sh!t.... just tried it... hahha... thats so mad!!!

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!

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.

It's an option on the trip computer; once you get into the settings screen (i.e. where you select trip A reset after filling up), you can select pictures only or pictures and words.

and one very small detail i noticed when the windows do up, is the drivers window has a slight delay from the other 3, so when the drivers side window is up, you know all of them are up! clever :D

You might have a sticky window channel. Clean it up.

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 !

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?
20-02-2012, 06:13 PM

^ 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

Hey Shmivic,

i just tried what you suggested today. switched on headlights and turned on the washers but the headlight washes didn't come on...
what am i doing wrong?
22-02-2012, 10:49 PM

Maybe it's broken...or maybe they're not even headlight washers at all =X show us a pic?

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
23-02-2012, 04:42 PM

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

before i took that pic... it wasnt popping out properly... just wriggling around... so i added water and it was worked...

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.
23-02-2012, 11:22 PM

lol mine wasnt working either.. until i had to replace my bumper from a cosmetic damage.. and when it came back from the shop.. it worked.. voilaa haha

lmao yeah i tend not to use them for that reason LOL
24-02-2012, 08:35 PM

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.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...Euro/photo.jpg

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.
27-02-2012, 04:32 PM

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.

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.
