haha you know whats my favourite part about the euro, that centre consol part that you press the door and it goes up, my ex put a honda badge on his lookd pretty cool.
but what i like about it, is that its actually quite magical!!
my friend had his pet rat with him and i put the rat in that consol part and shut the door, but when i pressed the door to open again, the rat was gone!!!!!
lmfao it wa the funniest thing ever!!! my ex was losing it at me haha but i couldnt stop laughing!! we tried pulling apart the foot well panel to reach up and pull the rat out but couldnt reach so after almost giving up hope i decided there was only one way to get him back out.
the same way he dissapeard, lol i closed the lil door again and waited a second or two and re-opened it and there was the rat!!! lmfao
On the Driver's seat (It's on my std Euro , don't know if it is on the luxury) , there is a little lever mounted on the left hand side. I have no idea on what exactly that it does, tried it a couple of times- it's probably to dish out more support for your back ?!!
When my Euro was sold to me they harped on about the boot security...
- No Keylock on the boot
- The release for the split fold rear seats was in the boot, and not the cabin
- The boot release next to the drivers seat has a key lock...
- The key remote had a separate button for the boot release..
So... When we went to busselton (country town 2.5 hrs south of perth) on the weekend, my girlfriend accidently locked the keys in the boot. Which i thought was going to be a major problem... as i had the boot release leaver in the locked position as i had some expensive gear in there...
I got the RAC down there, who when i explained the situation also thought he was going to have a tough time with it also, and asked if i had the car manual in the car, so he could see how he could possibly access the boot with minimal destruction as possible..
After he got access to the cabin, he went into the bonnet to disconnect the fuse for the horn (as the horn sounds when the alarm is activated), i went to get the manual from the back seat, but found the door was locked... i went around to the drivers side to unlock the door using the central locking button on the drivers arm rest... then it finally twigged.. this also unlocks the boot.
So no damage to the car was necessary... however it poses the question...
If Honda thought about the boot security that hard (to have a key lock on the boot release lever and have no ability to access the boot from the cabin...etc why would they include an 'unlock boot' feature in the central locking button?
(not that im complaining as it made it easier to get the keys, but the other features become redundant.)

Even if they didnt allow for it to be opened like that; The lever which is locked down with a key next to the drivers seat is extremely easy to break, It'd be as easy as lifting the plastic trim and turning the base of the unit with your fingers so if someones really wanting to get into the boot its not to difficult.

Because, the boot security system is designed to keep other people out while maintaining access for the driver/owner who holds the keys. So don't lose the keys. You're lucky that you didn't disable the boot release button at the tailgate.
i believe, with the trip computer, the light is 'ON', once the computer estimates that you only have 70km or less to go. the light will be turned on when the 'distance to empty' hits 70.
i rolled into the servo the other day with 1Km left on my distance until empty on the screen. When i filled up the bowser got to 58 litres and clicked out. So i still had approx 7 litres in the tank when it said i had 1 Km left...interesting.
all cars are made to be very conservative when they show distance to empty, im dont think theres any real regs for it but imaine the up roar if you ran out of petrol and your trip comp still said you had k's left.
