Actually, I can disengage the AC on any setting including the windshield defog setting.

 

Geez, they did it again. Some "upgrades" are best left on the drawing board.

viper, not on my 2002. I've tried pushing it. Maybe it's another of the Honda's upgrade for MY02

 

Although Indecision doesn't get the kind of winter temps we do in Calgary, he still gets some rather chilly days. For me, on a -30*C morning, I need the "heat" ASAP and the heater takes 5-10 minutes before giving any significant defrosting effect. I wouldn't want those first few minutes with AC too. I can see his point.

Aaah sympathy from a fellow Canuck. You're right we're not as cold here in the winter, but when I'm up at school the chill factor is almost twice that of sea level. You definitely wouldn't want cold feet while driving down the mountain full of snow

 

I thought it was some safety reason, if someone tries to "get you" with the top up you can lock the door but if they try to unlock it they can't - you actually have to go to the other side and unlock it. If this doesn't make sense, don't be surprised, some of the stuff in my head usually doesn't.

 

Cool thread TTT

 

I'm not sure how the Aussie S2k's are wired (door lock-wise). Possibly Muz or another Aussie forum member has a shop manual with a diagram.

Does seem strange though. I still don't see any benefit (safety or otherwise) of not being able to unlock the passenger door from the drivers side door. Or use the keyfob buttons to lock/unlock the doors or open the boot if the key is in the ignition. We can do that aswell with the Aussie S2k's.

You guys have some strange feature's over there on the other side of the world .

wil..

 

honda seriously f'd up the passenger door lock setup. if my 94 accord has access to unlock the passenger from the driver side, then a brand new s2k should to. "weight saving" shouldn't even be an excuse.
