question for owners of honda accord 2003

[Ylen13]

In the manual it says that with remote control your can only open the windows but not close them. When i was at the dealership the sales man was actually able to close the window using the remote control. Anyone know how he did it. I will be going back to the dealership sometimes this week so will ask him if no one knows how to do it. I just find it strange that the manual says you can't but the salesman actually dose it for you

Can someone clue me into why this is a useful feature? Is this so you can hop into your car Dukes of Hazzard style or something???

opening all windows i dont find usefull. But closing all windows with just remote control i do. If i have all my windows open.It just faster to close all of them with just remote control if that is possibel then eather using the key or driver master controls

Did you try holding the "lock" button down?

You can "cool" the car down a bit before hopping in on a hot summer day. I agree that it is more of a "neato" feature rather than a truly "useful" feature.

Can you cool down the car without remotely starting it?

I'd worry about someone stealing my car or if I get sidetracked, leaving the car on for 10 hours before I remember "oh sh!t it's running with the a/c on".

My 1989 Nissan Maxima had the ability of open all it's windows and the sunroof before you got it Needless to say, it always surprized people when they saw it

No - if you are walking out to your car on a hot summer day, you car going to be an oven. The feature will roll down all of the windows, thus ridding the car of the hot air. (Also, thanks for your help Rossman. I don't know if you got my e-mail or not, but I appreciate it )

I don't think the salesman used the remote for it in dealership. Well, maybe if it's a higher end model...probably. You can roll up the window using the key though. You use your key to lock doors and keep the key turned and hold all windows will close. Finally bought my 2003 Accord LX Sedan 5 speed last Saturday. Paid about 18k out the door including all fees.

i talk to salesperson today and he told me the same thing that you can only use the key to roll the windows up. Why did you get manual instead of auto and also did you get lojack?

Why wouldn't you get a manual? Honda motors are designed to REVVVVVVVV Sky's the limit.

Reasons for manual:
1) Save you $1000 when you buy the car
2) Save you $$ every month because of better gas milage
3) More power available when you drive
4) More fun over auto

The mileage point is moot since you're more likely to drive more aggressively with a stick; I know I do

We have that on our 99 Maxima. Its really reallly useful in the summer. Just open the windows all the way as you approach the car. That way the initial blast of heat (wih the added humidity, it feels really nasty) goes away. If you've ever opened a black car with black leather interior in teh heat, the moment you open the door and sit in, yu get this evil blast of heat/humidity in your face. I hate that...with a passion!

03 ex-v6 here. I'd tried to do this today but with no luck. However you can roll up the windows with the key buy turning it to the left two times and holding on the second.
