Q1: Why does the horn go "beep" when the door is locked and "beep" "beep" when unlocked? This is not a trick question!:} Would'nt you expect it to be the other way around?

Q2: Why does the S2K (and probably every car) have a switch to turn cruise control on or off, when all you have to do is activate cruise control with the SET switch on the steering column and deactivate it with the brake and/or clutch?

Q3: Why did Honda add fake ducts to the front if they had no intention of providing optional fog/spot lights, or enough room in the front of the wheel arches to add proper cooling duct pipes?

Mine doesn't "beep beep" when unlocked. And, it only beeps when I remotely lock the doors and push it again, to make sure that it is locked.

Then again, I don't have the factory alarm system.

Yeah...those fake ducts really bother me.

Hey people-

I don't much about the "beep" and "beep" "beep" issue...

About the fake ducts- I think it's part of Honda's car family's industrial design. You'll find them on Preludes, Civics, etc. as well as the S2000. I think it's there to break up the monotonous area around there- if the fake ducts weren't there, it would just be a slap of painted plastic.

Press the door lock button three times in a row, and listen!

I that you have the ability to turn the Cruise on or off so that if you accidentally hit the "Resume" button when you're cruising along at 20 after having your cruise set at 70 on the highway your car won't go zooming forward. That'll open up yer eyes... (having done it on my old Passat...)

That is, of course, assuming you've switched it off (-:

Tex..does that put the car in self destruct mode?
I notice there is no cruise release button on the steering wheel. Our Accord has this function. It's really handy on the road. You don't have to tap the brake.

Same on my Integra, it really bugs me that the teg doesn't have it.
