Interesting Bits Inside Your Euro..

[dale_s15]

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.

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.

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

just tried it an hour back, worked perfectly. 04 cl9. Was like a little kid playing with a new toy lol. Also never knew the steering wheel moved in and out. And finally found the pen holder :P.

How do you move the steering wheel in and out? I never knew it could that?

well when that lock lever is down, you are able to move up and down, you can move it in and out also.

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

interesting...could be different for each car? unless all of them are supposed to go up at once and what mine does is a fault!? haha
