Questions about new Accord
I've just bought an 09 Accord. A couple of little questions please...
Never had a honda before. This Memory Minder that tells us when
things need to be done, etc.... I've read the manual well, but one
thing
that isn't clear to me. Let's say I do my first oil change at 5k
miles,
and reset the Minder's oil indicator back to 100%. This of course
should not effect the Minder's tracking of the other things that won't
need to be done till later, right? I know this may seem dumb,
but they don't cover this at all in the manual.
Let's say, on down the road, say at 20k miles or so, I get the little
symbol that I need to change the air filter. After I change that,
and reset the air filter tracking, I wouldn't want to also reset
the oil change tracking without changing the oil, etc., etc.
I assume that with one or more symbols lit on the cluster,
I would be able to toggle to reset each one as I do the maintenance.
Is this the way it works?
Also, I seem to have a minor steering wheel shimmy at around
60-65 mph. The car has new Michelins and the car only had
6 miles on it when I bought it. I wonder if those little air pressure
sensors could present a wee bit of a problem for wheel balancing.
Also, about these sensors in the tires, when the time comes
for buying new tires, I assume they will just remove the things
and put them in the new tires. Correct? Do some people just
do away with these things after a while. I frankly don't need them
myself as I always keep tabs on things like proper air pressure
in my tires. We do like the car though, and hope to drive
it a LONG time. Thanks for any good feedback.
