Deer Killer Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The trunk springs?? they have a cutout to accommodate the stock sub.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfxdave99 Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Something I noticed and still have no clue why these are present... Open the trunk and look under the back seat tray below the window. See all those metal tubes or conduits are whatever the heck they are? What are these things? IIRC, there's also some kind of plastic container in the same general location (haven't stared back there in a while). What's is that? I believe thats the housing for the seatbelt reel If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 they are likely torsion bars to hold the trunk open, and should indeed go AROUND the sub fitment ring, enough for a conical speaker to fit. Probably not a cylindrical enclosure, though. The white box should be the center rear seat shoulder belt roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
700watts Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Stupid question, does anyone know what those two flaps before the rear wheels are for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandman Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I love the split A/B trip option. I reset A trip option everytime I fill up the fuel tank to track my avg mpg usage but only reset my B trip option after I change the oil. That way, it helps me track how many miles till my next oil change at the touch of a button. Our Nissan Quest allows you to set a maintenance reminder for tire rotation and oil change.

IwannaSportSedan Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Seriously, though... IIRC, they are aerodynamic spoilers, they break up the under-car airflow, and probably reduce lift a bit, and keep the airstream moving under the center of the car, rather than blocked up in front of the rear tires.

Nutter Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 The red lighted ring around the fuel gauge flashes when you start the car after the low fuel light it tripped... After 16,000miles of looking over my rearview mirror I find that it has a pivot on the windshield too so you can actually move the entire mirror up and down! If you are driving and hit the Low Fuel warning the red ring will also flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unequal Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 No fuel cap holder on gas door. (had one on my teg) DRL...the simpleness to disable Beeping sounds...start car..beep..sit in car..beep..give me freakin time to put seatbelt on! Seats that are very....comfortable....wide....(just slight more "bucketyness"??) When in 5th or 3rd gear, kinda difficult for passenger to change radio stations..just a tad bit in the way Seatbelt for third person in middle on back seat:icon_conf (mandatory) All I can think of now.....but I do love the car!

Spec B Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Not sure if someone mentioned this but the button(s) to scroll between CD tracks is way too far away..should be over on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimy101 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 DRL...the simpleness to disable Why would you want to disable the DRL? Forewarned is forarmed. Any additional heads up you can give to other drivers is a good thing. It's why aircraft use landing lights during daylight hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucas569 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 i just noticed we have some sort of defroster on the windshield, does it turn on when you turn on the defroster for the mirrors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfxdave99 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 i just noticed we have some sort of defroster on the windshield, does it turn on when you turn on the defroster for the mirrors? RTFM.. but i'll be nice since you're a noob The defrost button on your center console controls your rear defrost and your heated mirrors, the button by the display brightness control to the left of your steering wheel is the button for the windshield heater. Be careful with it, some people have had issues with cracked windishields. Although I personally havent had any issues using it all last winter. If you do a search on windshield + crack + winter you'll find some various experiences to that effect If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
