I have a 2 month old 2001 CL Type S (new to me) and while on a road trip this weekend I found out that the armrest slides forward SUPER COOL!!! I’m sure everyone knows that but it was news to me.

 

LOL... Good Find..

 

I can relate. I had a 1994 Integra that I drove for a couple of years before I found the limbar support on my driver's seat.

 

"lumbar" that is. However you spell it...

 

I STILL get people who own the 1st generation legend that don't know about the hidden storage compartments in the door armrests. Can you imagine, 10 plus years in a car and not knowing something like that?

One better, When I worked for Toyota, there was a guy who purchased a pre-owned Camry. He brought it in to the service department because one of his passenger side ac vents would not blow. While performing the usual inspection, the tech noted that the vent was a "dummy" and found that the dash was covering a secret compartment. When he got it opened, he found a gun and other stuff inside. The cops were all overn that car for quite some time. True story!

yeh i don't understand the purpose of this, but i realized that too

 

I noticed it when I slammed on the brakes one time with my arm on it, it shot all the way forward... I was like WTF? But it doesn't do me any good, I always keep it all the way back.

 

I does give better arm support to me and a neat little feature which one wouldnt expect so....

But i've hard it abruptly slide back with my weight on it one too many times :o

 

Im short so if I don't slide it forward I can't use it

 

I hardley ever move it but its nice to know its there.

 

I had my Mustang for over a year before I realized it had a cup holder......

 

I didn't realize the thing slid forward until a few months ago.

 

 

did you know that when your windshield wiper is on intermitent it will wipe again when you take your foot off the brake pedal from a complete stop?

 

or when you drive fast in reverse your passenger side rear view mirror will tilt back up so you can see where you are going?

 

or if you leave your headlights on it will turn off in awhile after you lock the door? and will turn back on when you unlock with remote?

 

No

Yes

Yes

 

or that you can open or close windows and moonroof till you open the door after you remove key from the ignition? the light stays on and goes off after awhile or after you open the door.

 

 

No, I see how this is a good thing though

No, and funny becuase I want to see you driving fast in reverse

Yes, which is nice where there are no street lights

Yes, salesman told me about it the night I picked up the car

 

yes, yes, yes, and yes. Got any more?

 

we should start a thread "useless information about your cl"

 

That's not 100% correct. There is a 10 min timer. After that you have to turn the key back to the "ON" posistion again.

 

when i slide mine forward it rattles so unbelievably much i have to put it back before i rip it off.

 

Id like to see that too

 

thats why I said "awhile"

 

No way. We owned 2 first gen legends, a red coupe and a gold sedan and I never knew that. Did the 2nd gen have them as well, my sister had a red 95 LS coupe manual. I loved that car, too bad she was and still is, a crappy driver and wrecked it.

 

I had a '91 coupe, but I dont remember.



Also,
if you unlock your door and don't open it, it will relock itself in "awhile"
thats all I can think of

 

or in winter weather the windshield wipers are positioned higher than normal summer position

 

Do any of u have any good hiding spots in ur 2nd gen cl?

 

There is a 1x2x6 inch hidey hole under the cupholder. Also, you can drive upside down and the motor won't crap out like a carburated motor would.

 

whats winter weather?

 

my armrest is dirty.

 

I first discovered the sliding armrest when I sat on it while cleaning the rear seats. Almost fell backwards into the dash.

 

HOLY SHIT, that was my camry.





























j/k

 

Why would that not surprise me?


Anyone know the # to the local law enforcement?

 

ugh... 911??

 

I like being able to have the seat position linked to the key fobs, that way my g/f can use the car and not mess up my seat position and mirror positions

 

Shouldn't let your girlfriend use your car. Some women can be bad for cars.

 

How about:

Pressing the lock button twice gives a beep (my favorite)
