Default Secret Features on the SC400?

I know that there is a thread dedicated to this for the 2nd Gen GS's, but I was curious if they had something like this on the SC's.

Something similar to on how the GS' if you hold the unlock down for more than 5 seconds all the windows go down, I wish the SC had that! lol

One secret feature is that you can control the light sensor sensitivity and adjust when you want your headlights to come on automatically. Simply turn the sensor on your dash clockwise/counterclockwise to adjust.

there is a mini sun visor above the rearview mirror...and I've never found this on any other car, but when you floor it the pedal kind of "locks" even deeper (you can feel a click) am I the only one with this?

Most mercedes and bmw's have that pedal "lock" I think once you push down into it tells the ecu it can shift 2 gears down if your in 3rd or 4th.

Its nice if your car has been sitting in the sun all day and you want to cool it down quick as you walk up to the car so when you actually sit down its more bareable. But more importantly it just looks cool! LOL

The click was there in my 92, but not in my 98! Go figure eh?

if you tap the steering wheel button 8 times in any direction, it'll move a little.

The windows will continue to work about 30 seconds after you turn your car off, or until someone opens a door..

Heres a secret,

When you turn your car off, make sure you disconnect the battery....otherwise your will drain it. Thats because theres a missle launch activation sensor in case civics want to gang up on the old lex!
