ed_423

eddie_obie

Funny ehh....my doctor calls it Dyslexia..smart*ss

Isi

i have a russian accord (tsx).
my english is very bad, what is cluster?

09TSXTech

Isabel, your English is probably much better than my German. A cluster means a small group or bunch of something. So instrument cluster means the dash ( Speedometer/Tachometer/Fuel and Temperature gauges etc).

thunderbt3

I believe the red gauge cluster only come on Type S models, unless someone has modded thier cluster.

Isi

thanks

I think only the type s models have this red speedometer lighting.

this is mine

ressling

not my taste but looks good!

MurkyRiversTL

Looks like a cluster full of anger and hatred but also bitter and cold..... kinda like Russia lol.

Isi

lol
you see wrong^^
red is a warm colour and blue is a cold colour
and the red lightning gives in england, poland, switzerland and and and, not only in russia

09TSXTech

^She's right.

The red is in the TypeS in UK, Germany and other European countries. I like them personally, the red ambient lights on the other hand is not my taste which is why I have the blue ones in the centre console and rear.

^Kids keeping you up at night, Tech? Rarely see you post that late.

Thanks for the photos, Isi. I've always liked red as a color, but not as a dash color (not a fan of BMW's dash, for example). But this one looks nice. What's that up/down thing? Is that like in Gran Turismo when they remind you to shift?

09TSXTech

^Sleep is optional when you have kids

The Up Down is probably for improved fuel economy, telling you to shift early. Kind of oxymoron on a Type S model.

09TSXTech

From Topspeed site on the 2009 Accord:

" Manual models feature a ‘Shift Indicator Light’ or SIL which appears in the center of the rev counter. ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ are displayed to advise the driver of the optimum point (in terms of best fuel economy) at which to change gear; Honda tests have demonstrated fuel savings of as much as 5 per cent simply by following these commands."

Was wondering the same thing. Would be nice to have the UP/DOWN shift indicator since the 6MT doesn't have anything in there.

Norm24

Oh and the range is much better too with the car -> gas station graphic.

MrOtocinclus

Yeah, that is pretty crazy, 963km = 598 miles. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think I've ever broken 500 miles on a full tank. Will have to check at next fill up.

09TSXTech

^It must be a mistake, they have smaller tank in Europe- 65 litre vs the TSX 70 litre.

The regular Accord has blue instrument lights.

ressling

I dream about this feature every now and then...

Isi

all euro accords (tsx) have the shift indicator with 6mt
the tank from tsx is bigger? 70l?? wow :P

87MustangGT

I filled up before a 2.5 hr highway trip, cruise set at 75-80mph, and my "minder" said I'd get well over 500 miles on that tank.

I would think the 2.2L iDTEC engine is much more fuel efficient than the US 2.4L gasoline engine. But getting over 500mi to a tank in our cars seem possible if you're averaging 29mpg+. plus, the gas tank is huge at 18.5 gallons.

ed_423

i get 25 mpg and when i fill it up, i get over 500

kgs

If I had one week of no traffic (which will never happen - lol!) I could easily get over 500 miles to a tank. There are times after I've had a few good days of minimal traffic that I could get 550+ when I add the range left and the miles I've traveled so far. Unfortunately, then I have a day where it takes me 2 hours to get to work in brutal stop and go traffic and my mpg is shot to hell. I'm still hoping that i'll get one week where I get to see 500+ on a tank.

ed_423

anyone got over 600 yet?

tsxronald

I only get 450 on 28mpg some times 25...lol

ed_423

then how did i get over 500 when i only get 25 mpg..hmm..i shall check again next time i fill up my gas!

pbhak002

lol i got 520 mi on 31.5 mpg-ish lol

Jonnie5

wow 963... the most i have got was like 800ish high from highway driving

Isi

lol folks^^
this is about red instrument lighting and not the tank range

I like the red, I wish my Accord came with it.

Isi, what's the button on the far left next to the VSA shutoff for?

09TSXTech

^Parking sensors switch. They have front and rear sensors in Europe.

TSteezyX

Looks very Christmas-ish.

It looks like the switch next to the VSA button is the headlight washer button. The third dummy switch would be the parking sensor switch.

I like the blue one better reminds me of the blue instrument cluster I have on my old '04 Civic

HondoGermany

I think only the Euro TypeS Edition has red instruments. I have red but I would better like the blue one!
