Honda Car Forum

Hi,

In looking through the brochure, the photo of the instrument panel shows
two buttons to the left of the steering wheel. One is the TCS off
switch, and to the right of that is one that shows three cars, one over
the other: a colored in car on top, the outline of a car with a line
over it in the middle, and an outline with the very top blank at the
bottom. What is this button for? Does it have something to do with the
navigation system?

Thank you!!

This is the eject button. DO NOT PRESS IT!

Andrew

It is the sun roof button.

TCS Off is to turn off the Traction Control System.

The 3 button array is for the moonroof. One is close, one is open and the
3rd is vent.

Did you look in the glove box for the owners manual? I would try sitting
down and reading the manual and then if you still don't get it post to the
group.

Related question, my EX-V6 has every feature except the navigation system
and my panel has one blank the third position (closest to the wheel). What
feature was this spot intended for? The navi controls are on the wheel so I
don't think it's related to that. The pictures in the manual show this spot
as blank also.

If I owned the car, I would have read the manual and found out it was
the moon roof. As I said in my post, I was looking through the brochure.

Thanks to all who responded with helpful information!

Thank you to all who posted with helpful information - the MOONROOF!
That explains why the button wasn't in the car I test drove - no moonroof!

I didn't test drive a V6...

Thanks, everyone, for the fog light advice. It sounds like Accord
headlights do the job well enough without needing fog lights ($500
installed at the dealer here!) - and I really appreciate the knowledge
and how helpful people are in this newsgroup. Thanks!!
