An Old NSX'er Learns New Tricks

[nsxt2000]

Now I have been driving NSX's since the early '90's and thought I was aware of most little tricks of the NSX. However, during NSXPO I learned a couple of new facts previously unknown to me.

I always thought the only way to release the cruise control was to tap the brakes, and that is the method I have always used. At NSXPO a gnetleman mentioned that if you simutaneously press the "resume" and "set" buttons that cancels cruise control. And he is right!

My wife drives the MDX and her cruise control area has a middle button to cancel it and I often wondered why the NSX did not. I guess the engineers for the NSX found a way to achieve it without the "extra weight" of another button.

In my post about pressing the "resume" and "set" controls to cancel cruise control I failed to mention that when you do this it deletes the memory for "resume".

Still a pretty neat way to do it though.

With a manual transmission a tap of the clutch also disengages the cruise control without alerting the police officer that you just passed with your brake lights! :D

O.K., I didn't know that either. Maybe by the time the next generation NSX is unveiled I will have mastered the current one.

Thanks for the tip!

Now the clutch trick I've known.. holds true on every manual car I've ever driven-- but the button trick is new to me as well.. then again I'm still on my first NSX and I've only had it around two glorious years... then again I just turned 25 last month-- so I see a NSX-T coming soon to me lol
