I've been a regular on this site for about a year now, and owned my TSX for 6+ months, and yes I read the manual (quickly) after I got my car...

Anyway, I don't ever recall seeing it mentioned here, so I'll mention it. When you press the passenger window control disable button on the driver's door, the lights on all the passenger window buttons go out, indicating that the switch is inactive. I assume this only happens at night, when the parking lights or headlights are on.

I was browsing the TL site and came across a thread that talked about it. No big deal, but kinda cool. I had to try it out to believe it.

That's cool! Got to try that myself.

ecsw

cool.

the driver's side window also goes up automatically after the pressing up on the switch....opposite of the auto down feature.

lights go on :P then of course I showed it to my g/f before she even had time to buckle her belt

yes...one of the easter egg features on the TSX. Did you also know that if you climb in the trunk and shut it that the release glows in the dark

TSX 'R' US

And if you look behind you, you'll notice both rear window button lights go out too.

DEVO

some day they are going to find this gene.... i'm so sure it exist.

tony4311

lol I hope they don't get rid of it. It keeps me entertained

fdl

what release? Can you open the trunk from the inside? And how did you find this out??

tony4311

Isn't required that there be a release for trunks from inside now?

yeah, my aunt's 2001 Toyota Camry LE has a release knob in the trunk that glows in the dark....looks like all new cars have them now.

I'm glad they didn't have those trunk handles when I was a teenager. Many of my friends spent time in various trunks.

tony4311

BTW I'm not the only one planning on locking myself in the trunk tomorrow am I?

fdl

$10 bucks to anyone who takes a picture of the inside a TSX trunk with the trunk door shut

tony4311

<--- bored so he went into the trunk to take pics. Damn imagestation is slow as chit so I'm waiting to host. I was hoping someone would be walking past the car when I popped out but no such luck :P

Here we go




proof that I'm in there and didn't just leave the camera on a timer





It's not the best pic of the glowing switch but its only in the mid 20's out and I was too cold to sit there with the flashlight on it to make it glow then sit there and get a good long exposure shot

Just another feature I never noticed before. My daughter was trying to use the seatbelt in the back of the car and couldn't get it to click shut. Then she realized that there were two buckles there one for the outside passenger and one for the middle and she was using the "wrong" one. When she tried the other one it worked on the first try. I guess the buckle is designed to be specific to the "right" seatbelt.

cool...gotta try this tonite

I picked up a 2 of my friends last night for Monday Night Football and showed them this little trick. They both had no idea and thought it was very cool. They also have sold Acura's for more than 5 years.

spc

Actually it also works without the lights on!

fdl

LOL . Tony ...you rock You're 10 bucks is in the mail

sheik28

I hate to be the bubble burster.... but this was covered in the EASTER EGG THREAD Actually come to think of it, that thead has a lot of little cool features in it and is worth a re-read !!!!!

You can also roll over while your in the trunk and pull the straps to let the seats down if you want to get out that way.

kiteboy

I suppose if you locked yourself in the trunk with the keys you could also push the button on the fob

jcg878

I just noticed today that when the passenger window disable button is pressed, even the driver can't open or close those windows! What's the point of that???

kiteboy

Even the lights on the driver's switches go out as well when the windows are locked. So the designers meant it, however silly that might be.

However, the light on the mirror adjuster doesn't go out when it's set to the middle (disabled) position. I do like the fact that the square joystick button lines up with the cardinal directions in either enabled position.
