k I will tonight. Another cool feature on the GT is the button on the back hatch that allows you to unlock the doors keyless-ly.

The auto lock feature (activated by your local dealer) locks all doors, arm the alarm system, after all doors are shut (without having to press any button) and the driver walk away.

Hopefully this is the blue you are talking about. The first picture is the guages on night brightness, second is day brightness.

Awesome night pics. I kept telling everyone the blue-lit guages were identical to the RX-8 GT guages, but they are slightly different. On the day brightness is the guage lettering still red or does it go white like the RX-8?

Nope....stays orange in daytime...just gets brighter. I loved the fact on the 8 you could have either white or orange!!!

Xavier......I think they wanted the tiny blue light in the ceiling over the shifter...at least that is what I was referring too. GT has it.

Cruz, You should be able to press and hold the unlock button to have all the windows go down (this is how most cars do it). I thought it was a standard feature; should be in the owner's manual.

Oh....you are probably right...I think the salesman showed us but I could not remember for sure and how he did it. Thanks for your help!

I know this is cheesy, but 1 touch driver AND passenger opening and closing, as well as the moonroof having that luxury as well! My Protege5 does not have the one touch "up" option, and it sucks holding the window up switch when leaving toll booths in the rain, and shifting at the same time.

Look at page 3-40 in the owner's manual. It describes the process:

"With unlock button (Keyless entry system)
Press the unlock button on the transmitter
and hold it. After the doors and the
liftgate are unlocked, the windows fully
open automatically. To stop this operation, press the unlock
button."

My 2 front windows opened and not the back...I just assumed my back window lock was on....I usually have it on so my son does not play with the windows.

You can open or close with the key fob. You can also open or close them with the key in the key slot on the door/



Another feature I just figured out last night is with the windows and their one touch auto down feature. It is one touch for auto up also. I guess I'm a slow learner.

Same for sunroof.
