HCH-II Hidden Features

Re: HCH-II Hidden Features
Ditto, my friend. I actually got the nickname at work (1996) and had a plate that next year on my '96 Accord EX (definitely not a flashy car) and kept the plate until 2000 when I got a flashy car (Mitsu 3000GT VR-4 and lotsa power). I ended up selling my car to my parents and my mom just would *not* release my license plate back to me so she is driving around in an 11-year old car with "Flash97" on the back which is hilarious to me. I'll be sure to uphold your moniker. I was shocked to see two grey HCH-II cars this morning (near Pittsburgh -- rare around here) but both of them passed me so I'm definitely not blazing around. Heh. Cheers.

Re: HCH-II Hidden Features
Before they fixed my windows going off track problem, my windows lock was locking *ALL* windows, including the driver side. Kinda silly.
They corrected this error when I send my car in for the 2nd service (same service where they fixed the track problem.).
Now it only locks the 3 pessangers' windows.

Mercedes-Benz Windows Lock out feature disabled all window switches in the car but leaves the driver side switches enable to roll down or roll up other windows. I miss this feature......

Re: HCH-II Hidden Features
Yeah, I don't know why you'd want to lock your own window. Arb! We agree on something!
Back on topic:
I tested it a little more and it appears only to work if you turn the car on with the parking brake engaged. At this point the DRLs are off. They illuminate when you release the parking brake. Applying the brake again does not shut them off. You must turn the car off again.

Re: HCH-II Hidden Features
Here's one that took me a while to notice. On the drivers window controller only, there are actually four functions. if you press it down lightly and hold, the window will go down until you release. If you press it down all the way (and hold or release), the window will go down automatically all the way. Same with pulling it up.
I guess this is a pretty common feature in cars w/ automatic windows, but my old ford didn't do that.

Re: HCH-II Hidden Features
GM has done that for years - it's standard. You can open/close the windows on my '99 Z28 all day long, until you open the door.
