Suggestion
After I took the car in to replace the rear fog light bulb that was "out" the dealer informed me that there is only one rear fog light to indicate which side it is safe to pass on (light someone should be passing in the fog anyway), and there is intentionally only one light so that the fog lights don't appear to be break lights.

You can turn on the parking light on either side by using the turn signal (common feature on Euro cars)

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
yestersay I came across a thread in a honda TYPE-R forum about some tricks hondas can do, such as
1.when you choose reverse in your gearbox and your front wiper blades are on, the automatically the rear one operates....
2.Also, if you sit at the lights in neutral and rev the engine, it won't rev above 5500rpm
anyone can help to make the same list for our cars?
thanks
1: when you open the doors, there's a switch in the handle that causes the window to roll down slightly so you don't mangle your window on the rubber moulding.
2: When you lift in a corner, the car will turn for you
In cabriolets, when you put the top down you can raise the rear windows by putting your finger in the top latch hole while pressing the rear window buttons.
When I step on the gas in a long sweeping corner, the hottie (my wife) in the right seat starts to giggle like a school girl; it's magic and it's all good!
I have power seats with memory - when I program my seat position, if I have the gear shift in Reverse it activates this feature. It doesn't do it without this memory setting. Not sure how it works for cars without power seats, but it was in the manual somewhere.
Also, IIRC, you have to make sure the mirror adjustment thing is set to the driver's side. If it's set to the passenger side it defeats this feature IIRC (I know it does in BMWs, pretty sure it does in Porsches)
You can roll up or down the windows using the key in the driver's door. The unlock direction rolls them down, the lock direction rolls them up.
You can turn on the radio when the key is not in the ignition. Just open the door and turn it on.
If you shut the ignition off with the headlights on, the main headlights will power off, leaving only the "city lights" on. (With my litronics, at least)
If you open the trunk with the key fob, the doors are unlocked. If you do not open a door, after a while, they lock again. (This is also true if you unlock the doors with the fob)
To have the mirror dip in reverse, put it in reverse and then push the memory button for your seat position.
If you turn the lights on before you turn the key on, the litronics go through their self leveling phase.
The mirror feature has to be turned on at the dealer (mine was off, and I do have power memory seats). They can also program the doors to lock at 5mph.
if you have a Targa, holding down the lock/unlock button on your key will open the roof and windows. The reserve is also true. Very handy on a hot day - you can release all the hot air before you get in the car. Nice trick to impress your friends with too!
Donkeyman - Cheers for that!
Have had my targa for 3 days now and wondered if that was possible. Should have spent time reading the manual, but hey, i had a new car to play with!!
porsche-t ... you can also just pop the rear window and slide in 2 full sets of golf clubs....power the targa top back, windows open, start engine ... grin from ear to ear!
So what's the deal with the lights, if you turn the switch too far one of the tail lights are dimmer or off, right or left, I forget. Then everyone tells you there is a bulb out. What possible function could there be for that? My 2000 C4 did it too. Must be a european thing. Or is it when you pull the switch out too far? Will
Rear fog light. One of my pet peeves when people drive around with them on. Very distracting. I'm guessing most people don't even know they have them, dumbasses.

(1). The horn will sound once when you lock the car with the remote if any of the compartments is not closed (trunk, engine, center console box, door)
(2). You can turn on the parking light on either side by using the turn signal (common feature on Euro cars)
(3). Push twice on the window switch for auto roll down and up. (Actually I prefer the two stage on the BMWs much better)
(4). Headlight washer that turns on only when you have the high beam on and the windshield washer turn on at the same time. I guess the German logic is that, hey if the guy is washing his windshield and have the high beam on that means his headlights must be dirty?
(5). Automatically shows the oil level on the display gauge for 30 seconds whenever you fill up your gas tank.
(6). Speed sensitive sound system level that's adjustable
(7). Front trunk open lever automatically locks whenever the door is in the closed position
(8). Remote clutch slave cylinder bleeder valve, nice feature they added after the 993.
That's all I can think of at this time.
Robin993DX - the horn will also honk once if you have removed the factory radio (apparently it's monitored also).

I assume you're referring to 2 different features: the parking lights, and the rear fog light. It's a European car thing.
If you turn the switch left, past "Off" (pull while turning) the parking lights illuminate on only one side of the car. It's designed so that cars can see you if you are parallel parked alongside the road but without draining your battery quite as much.
If you pull the switch out 2 clicks with the headlight on, the rear high intensity fog light switches on. Some cars have 2, we have 1 on the left. It's really annoying when people leave it on when there is no fog.
