Replying to: akin242002 (Dec 20, 2006 7:41 am) TV is overrated as an ad medium for new cars. I saw TONS of ads for the Fit on the Web (including here at Edmunds.com), in print, and the occasional billboard. I think Honda felt that their target demographic for the Fit would be better reached via the Web and car mags vs. TV. Although it's possible that there were TV ads on stations that I don't frequent, since I'm not officially part of the target demographic for the Fit.

Replying to: backy (Dec 20, 2006 8:47 am) Here (we are in Canada) there was one commercial on TV (cant recall what station)...there were however plenty of Fit ads for months in the canadian fashion magazines i read...   As for the airbag issue, i just got my Fit back a couple of weeks ago from Honda because the SRS light had come on (the cable reel assembly? was defective and had to be replaced). I am starting to think that the airbags on this car might be cursed (just to round things out not even 24 hours after i got my airbags and horn fixed, my poor Fitty was in an accident)

#4335 of 4728 Question about relax mode by bayoujay Dec 24, 2006 (8:07 am)
Hopefully someone can help me out with this one. My wife and I decided to take a road trip and I wanted to make her comfortable by putting the passenger seat in relax mode. I put the front seat as far forward as possible, took off the headrest, and tried to recline the front seat all the back. I thought the front seatback would fit flush with the rear seat's bottom cushion, but it hits the cushion instead. It seems like there's an inch or two of overlap. Is there a step I'm missing or something? How do you get the front seatback flush with the rear seat cushion?

Replying to: bayoujay (Dec 24, 2006 8:07 am) Did you recline the rear seatback when you did this? When you lift the rear seatback lever and push back the seatback, you can actually tilt the seatback and cushion slightly, so that the seat cushion rises a tad higher than the normal mode. That's what you probably need to do in order to have the front seatback flush with the rear seat cushion. Also, be sure that the front seat is slid all the way to the front. Try this and let us know what happens.   My wife and I have used the "Refresh Mode" on our long trips, and it is really nice.

Replying to: jacksan1 (Dec 24, 2006 8:41 am) As stated, the rear seats can lean back 1 more notch. Just pull the lever like when you fold down the seats and push the seat back until it clicks.

How do you get the front seatback flush with the rear seat cushion?   Your front seat isn't all the way forward. If the front seat is as far forward as it can go and it is clicked and locked as far forward as it can go, it isn't as far forward as it can go. Raise the lever under the seat again and move it forward. It will move up another couple of inches, but it will not lock in that position. This will make the top of the front seat flush with the bottom of the back seat.
#4339 of 4728 Refresh Mode isn't intended for driving. by micweb Dec 25, 2006 (8:13 am)
You are actually more at risk with a fully reclined seat, than wearing no seat belt. You submarine and flail in any kind of accident. The seat itself is an integral part of the safety cocoon.   If you make an informed choice that's up to you. But years ago I used to recline my seat (as a passenger) to take a nap but I no longer do so. Replies to this message: jacksan1 (Dec 25, 2006 12:14 pm)

The seat itself is an integral part of the safety cocoon.   True, but with the Refresh Mode, if you are sitting in the back seat with the seatbelt on, with the legs stretched out, you are not really "reclined" as if you were on the front passenger seat. The seatbelt for the rear seat should offer the protection because, used in this manner, you are sitting upright in the Refresh Mode.   On the other hand, if you are just lying flat, with no safety restraint, that would be very dangerous, and I would not recommend that, either.

Replying to: mtngal (Apr 25, 2006 10:01 am) My wife gave me the SkyFi2 XM radio for Christmas with the car kit. I mounted it under the climate controls. I purchased a 3.5mm pin cable and plugged it directly into the aux jack. I placed the antenna just behind the radio antenna. I would be glad to send you some photos.
