Without anything actually being wrong? This is the answer for my civic... This is with the car fully on btw. Nothing is wrong but my dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree!

Well, close to every light on the dash comes on for a second after you start the car, but I suspect that'd be cheating... And hard to get a picture of.

when I get back in my car this morning I'll try. Can you add a tag to this so I can find it later?

Damn it! lol When I saw your headline the first thing I thought of was the fleet of company cars we buy for our field personnel. I was going to run out and grab a quick dash photo to post with this comment. Buuuuuuuutttttt........

Yeah, you guessed it. We buy them Civics. So no reason to post another Civic picture. That daaaaash, That. Dash! lol Of course, you're doing your readers a disservice because, in all fairness, it's slightly more hideous than just that because, well, you left off the "upper" display. More. Lights. Argggggh.

Anyway, that criticism aside, our marketers and other field personnel drive those little cars into the ground. Around 30k miles a year and so far not one has skipped a beat with nothing more than sticking to a near-religious routine maintenance schedule and the cars get checked over from, literally, bumper to bumper, once a week.

There is nary a squeak or rattle. from them. The doors close with a satisfying thud. The fit and finish was very good for a car in it's price range (entry level car and, honestly, the most basic configuration Honda offers). Prior to switching to the Civics we drove Nissan Sentras and, unfortunately, those cars weren't even in the same league with the Civics other than competing on price. The Sentras feel, and look, "cheap" when you park them side by side and move from one car to the other.

Best of all? In that mix of 30k miles a year, my employees drive a mix of pretty near 50/50 Hwy/City and, if it's not 50/50, it would skew more towards city miles than highway and in those miles the Sentras never achieved better than 26-27 mpg. Our Civics knock down 34.5 mpg and you can set your watch by it. If by chance I have to send one of my employees to, say, Houston or San Antonio and they do an all highway stretch of driving there and back, the Civics can (and do) consistently turn 39 mpg. I have no doubt they could break into the magical 40-4x mpg realm if the drivers could keep their speed down by, oh, say 5 mph or so. Who needs to spend $6k-$7k more on a Prius? lol My ROI numbers would just never work out.

TL;dr? Civic, ooooh pretty lights.

Best Regards. :)

PS - Greyed? Moi? I've never noticed that before? I used to have author priveleges in Oppo. I have to admit I'm a relative newb to this Kinja stuff. Does that not get me out of the grey universally or do I have to be followed by, say, you... to not be greyed in your posts?

Or, perhaps I'm not an Oppo author anymore for some reason? Hmmmmm, the plot thickens! lol

cheating here. These are all the lights that come on at start up.

Your comment now appears directly below a picture where someone's done just that. Which only adds further weight to my theory about Kinja being awake.

I shall sleep sound tonight, safe in the knowledge that my benevolent Kinja overlord is watching over me, always.

(He'd have won, anyway; my 106 doesn't have enough status lights to fill even one of his little displays.)

I just bought a 1989 Camry a couple of weeks ago. There are only about three lights that can come on, and one of them is for low fuel.

what's the orange blob above the door and trunk ajar lights?

p.s. you could probably add another one if you have one of those passenger airbag disable switches.

Traction control off! And sadly I don't have a button like all my other cars do..

I've got a key hole, but I've found that a 40lb dog will disable it automatic. So just drop a heavy object on the passenger seat to get that light.
