Oh you guys prolly already know but the remote down of the windows
You unlock the car and then press the unlock button and hold and all the windows go down untill you release the lock button

To put them back up you put the key in the driver side luck click once to lock and then again and hold to put the windows back up!

special? the boot button come out on bmws/mercs about 10+ years ago...

usually with older European cars, when there is a external boot opening switch, AND there is a key hole on the boot lid (or near it), but NO lever near driver's seat. So usually the only way to open the boot is through that external button if the boot is not locked. If it is locked, then u need to unlocked it with the car key. (a bit inconvenient if the ignition is on).

While Japanese cars usually come with lever swith beside door seal of the driver's seat. AND a key hole near the boot lid, but No external button. so to open the boot, u need to insert the key in to that key hole and turn it. Or use the lever beside driver's door.

Of course above two cases applied to those cars BEFORE remote control keys are available.

Thanks Pup, I only realise this feature today. maybe I should study the users mamual again.

so you can't use the remove to wind the window up after lock the doors. Must insert the key into driver's side door handle, right?

This is in reference to Euro77's discovery of CD case holders in the CD compartment..

What other bits have you guys found out?

Here's a few bits of information collected from everyone....

1. Center Console armrest pulls out
2. Namecards and Pen Holders on the underside of the center console cover
3. Lights in the glove compartment doesn't go off when it's closed (Only when park/driving lights are on)
4. Wipers are speed sensitive, while stationary, releasing brakes will enable wiper to swipe
5. Euro doesn't have rubber moulding around rear windscreen
6. Hidden Diagnostics ( http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17777)
7. CD compartments have slots to hold CDs!!!! (Update: The slot (1) is located on the back of the compartment wall on the left side)

it chimes if you don't put the seatbelts on within 45 seconds after starting your engine.

It chimes if you drive with your hand brake on.

Do you have to be on driver's seat for it to work? and you mean after you start the engine or after the car is moving?

[baboo]

After engine starts...& have to be on the seat.

After the car moves. I haven't tried driving while not being in the drivers seat... Anyone dare to test this out? I reckon is it just detects the car is moving, no seat sensor.

I guess if any driving school use Euro for teaching purpose, then there will be another set of pedals on passenger's side. Then u can almost make it a Left hand drive car and try the trick.. (ie. no one on driver's seat while car is moving )... Sorry mate, dont get offended , hit me if u want, I just want to be a little smart arse here for you guys to laugh about .

glancing over the stuff.. i don't think i saw this mentioned.

if the euro is locked, and you unlock the car, if doors haven't been opened, the car will lock itself again after half a minute or so..

but the best one i found was, if you unlock the car and just open the boot and close it, the car will lock itself automatically.

correct me if im wrong please
