I thought that on most cars when you didn't want passengers (kids) to use the power windows you could turn off their controls but the driver would could still open or close if he wanted. I can't control the windows from the drivers side when the switch is off. Is this a feature of the Type S?

------------------

 

On the TL-S, when the master switch is on off, no one can open thos windows, even the driver. The driver window is always activated.

 

I guess that is one of the VERY minor things that I wish were a little different. I also think the sunroof switch isn't in a very good location.

 

I agree about the sunroof switch. I liked the location much better in my TL. It would make more sense to switch the sunroof and foglight controls.

The sunroof switches are blocked by the steering wheel while I am driving, so I can't see which of the 3 buttons to push.
The foglight is a single button, and you can easily feel for it, so it would make more sense to put it in the area hidden by the steering wheel.

Overall, a very minor peev, though.

 

I was wondering why they moved the sunroof control switch myself...

It's probably easy enough to move back if it really starts to bother people.

Sunroof switches should be next to the sunroof, next to the homelink

 

....Definately....I agree with the pig!

When did they move the sunroof switch?? It was in the same place on my 86 and 95 accords...

 

This feature is on all Honda cars. The drivers window can only open with the switch off. I had this on my 90 Accord LX as well as my 94 Accord EX

FlyingPig: I thought so too. In all cars besides Honda/Acura's, the controlls seem to be near the sunroof. But, I thought a bit harder. Honda's are known for doing things different and I trully believe that Honda does thing a certain way for a reason. Here, I think their reason is for safty and control. For the same reason as not giving people control to the windows, perhaps Honda decided that they didn't want people to have control of the sunroof either. That way, no one can just open it and stand through it or whatever...

I know, it's probably stretching it, but I have the confidence that there is a reasoning behind it. My integra's switch was there too.

 

I think your correct Honda/Acura does things sometimes for a reason. My 94 Accord sunroof switch was in the same place. Back in the day when I had my 80 Prelude with power sunroof. The switch was also on the left hand side. The Prelude back then had a power sunroof & nothing else power.The car had no power brakes, power steering,windows, mirrors or door locks.
