did you know that your armrest moves forward and backward.......WOW

 

lol yeah..I found that out by accident

 

i found that out when i drove my friend's type S, and his was positioned forward, and my TL was a 2001 so i wasn't sure if it had that feature, so i went home and puched mine forward to check....

 

 

Read the user manual to learn more stuff. Like how pressing the TCS/VSA button actually turns them off.

 

LOL! Yep.. first thing i did when i got the '99 was read the manual! I actually really enjoy reading manuals cuz you always learn little things that you would've never known about the item. I definitely suggest people read the manual to their TL!

 

 

The Manual is the $hit!

The reverse tilting side mirror feature only works when your side mirror adjustment switch is in the middle, and not pointing to "L" or "R".

Thought mine went bad on me when I went to put my car in reverse and the mirror did not move downward as it was supposed to.

 

and the key goes in the ignition you turn it clock wise and the car starts

 

and when u put it into d5 the car moves..right? haha

 

yup but you need to remove your foot from the brake though, because you need to apply the brake to get it into D5.

woops i guess i got this a lil off topic.

i still have yet to find a use for the sliding armrest though

 

What year does this work on?

 

You must have one of the good trannies

 

02+

 

Yes, especially nice to have with the 6-speed.
Just picked up my 2004 SSM TL last week and have noticed the center console is always cold as well. I was just wondering if this was an engineered feature?

I keep noticing the little thing that makes the 2004 TL a great car.

I do not even miss my old 2002 Maxima SE 6-speed or driving my wife's 2004 G35.

Wow what a great car!!!

 

Center console is cold because there are two tubes running thru them so rear passanger can get some A/C vents.

 

On Lexus cars the switch must be in the left position for it to work. Middle seems more logical, but whatever, I don't design cars.

 

 

i found that out when i first drove my car home and had a habbit of putting my hand on the armrest when backing up.....after a few violent shots forward of the armrest, i got the hand of just backin up without doing that. -shawn

 

I found out that to the left of the steering wheel there is a switch that when turned these two lights in the front of the car light up. I think I am going to call these lights driving ahead lights.... or maybe headlights, since they are at the head of the car, what ya'll think???

 

dunno, but i was gonna ask you what that big round thing was in front of me....it's really confusing me. i can't find the joystick that makes the car go either....help?

 

joystick!??!? oh fawk i been something that my friend called a steering wheel. boy im gonna give him hell tomo. maybe thats y my tranny is all screwed. that fawker

 

Nice to know I'm not the only one who's done that. Thought I broke it the first time I did it!

 

 

thanks for all the good info guys.....gonna have to go and try some of them

 

You guys crack me up.

 

didnt know this.......thanks for the info

 

wut the hell is the reason for sliding armrest??

 

do 2000's have this too ?

 

Sliding the armrest forward is good for blocking the use of the cupholders.....J/K yeah, I always leave mine all the way back. I don't see any use for pulling it forward.

 

i had my car for a few months before the dayi hit the brakes pretty hard that i leaned foward and the armrest moved with me...i thought i broke it lol

 

please rename this thread, newb central.

 

:killer: yes!

 

Thats why it does that.....I was getting really pissed about the mirror not going down. I almost took the darn thing in, but remembered it was just a mirror.

 

WHAT?! never knew that.
Steering wheels
Ignitions
No joystick
and cup holder blockers
the wealth of knowledge is IMMENSE!

 

that manul thing you guys were talking about i read it today.....WOW.....good stuff.....good stuff.....

 

It moves forward so it provides more support for your forearm, especially if you like using the sportshift feature.
I have a habit of keeping my hand on the shifter, even though I drive it in auto most of the time.

The wheels on the TL go round and round and round!

And the window in the roof retracts in case you need to eject. I still have to find that button.
I used to think it was so you can see the fishies when you drive home to your pineapple under the sea.

Sorry, its late and Im tired. I get really goofy.
