TL-S Tips I've Learned

Reset the Maintenance Required light.
Here's one I just learned today. To reset the "Maint Req'd" light, just turn the ignition on and hold the two odometer reset buttons down for about 10 seconds.

-Press both buttons down, turn key to II (On) position, hold for 10 seconds = reset maintenence required light
-Turn key to II (On) position, press both buttons down, hold for 10 seconds = degree adjustment for outside temp probe.
Releasing the buttons when it reads a certain number adjusts the outside temp reading by that amount. So if you held them until it scrolled to -2 and let go, your temperature reading would display 2 degrees lower than the probe measured.

OH! OH! I have another one... If you shift the transmission into 2... not sportshift 2 but regular 2, the transmission doesnt downshift to 1. When you come to a complete stop and start accelerating again, the car will start off in 2nd gear not first
Good for something like if you're stuck in snow and 1st gear makes your wheels spin too much then you can put it in 2nd which will decrease power since the car is using 2nd gear to begin accelerating... maybe you can also use it off the line while racing to avoid wheelspin too

How about don't roll down your windows in the morning after a night of rain....
b/c as soon as you turn even slightly all the freakin water from the roof slides right into the car... DOHH!
And you guys with garages don't rub it in & say you don't have that problem.

I think they do it so that if your driving down the highway, you dont accidently open the trunk (say your wife has a spare set in her purse with you and she shuffles it around).
Kind of inconvenient, I know... but if you were nice to leave the car on to keep her warm, the least she could have done is reached over and got the switch for ya ;-). That is if she is physically capable.

When the stick wiper switch is set to intermitent and the delay knob is turned to minimum, the wiper will wipe without any delay during driving. However, when the car is stopped, the wiper will wipe with a two second delay in between, and will go back to no delay when the speed exceeds approx. 20 km/hr.

i thought it was setting the dial to max speed that will make the wipers do this?

This is neat little detail the salesman showed me when I picked the car up:
There is a little notch in the side of the upper console compartment on the passenger side. This is you can plug your cell phone charger into the outlet in the bottom console compartment and then run the cord into the upper compartment and rest the phone in there.

How does this work again? I tried shutting the engine off then the lights after, but the lights go out with the switch.
You mean I can have the time delay and walk away from the car with the lights off after a certain time? Howyoudodat?

Well, just leave your lights in the "ON" position and when you shut off your engine, get out, and shut your car door your lights will shut off 15-30 seconds later. Also, when you unlock your car your headlights will come back on "auto-magically" before you start your car.

I notice the inconvenient about those memory seats also. 'Cuz I did stand there waiting in pouring rain once before. Well... but I still like it 'cuz my Altima doesn't have any memory seats features. :p

I'm the only one who drives my car, so the memory seat thing doesn't really bother me.

I don think that it is a good idea to have your lights come on automatically when you start the car. The HID lights require a HUGE voltage amount and I dont think that it is best to obtain that power from your battery. Leave the lights off and after you start your car and have power being drawn from the alternator, then you should turn your lights on. I have never left anything turned on (radio, heater/fan, AC, lights) when I turn the car off. Consequently, my car batteries have always exceeded their maximum lifetime. My 99 has the original battery after 100k miles and the eye is still bright green :-)

I generally trust the engineers to know what is good and not good for the car. I have used the headlight feature on this and my old Accord and my Dad in his 97 RL, and never encountered any problems. As for the radio, A/C, etc., they pull a very minimal amount of power when the engine starts--this makes no difference to your battery. Actually, I doubt the A/C pulls any power because the compressor doesn't come on until after the car has started.

If you're driving and shift your gear selector to a gear that's too low (not using sport shift) it will hold the next higher gear until you go below the required speed. So if you're going 70 and shift to second, it will hold third until you get below 60.
