Warning!! Locking the car with the boot/trunk/luggage compartment open
Turns out you can lock the car (with remote or touch door handle) with the boot/trunk/luggage compartment open, the car locks.
The dash led shows door open but the car still locks instead of beeping as it would if you left the driver or passenger door open. The trap here (apart from the car not being totally locked) is that the boot/trunk/luggage compartment lamp will drain the battery. With the boot lamp 5W and the dash indicator, there is 760mA drain (8.8W), this will totally drain the battery in 48 hours. Car Armed (driver and passenger doors closed, boot/trunk/luggage compartment open). Last edited by quark; 07-01-2014 at 02:09 AM. Reason: typo, added boot/trunk/luggage compartment |

Boot=trunk?
It will drain faster than 48 hours, because trunk light will also be draining..

If you're implying that you might have accidentally left the trunk slightly open and that the light may drain the battery, wouldn't the horn not honk when you lock the car?
If you mean that the trunk is wide open... why are you leaving the trunk open for days? e: of course, the horn thing may vary by locaton/model |

Every car and SUV I've owned could have the doors locked but the trunk open...Don't know why the 86 would be any different?

Also, it wouldn't kill your battery. Our cars shut all power to the cars lights after 20 minutes.

British Car Terminology
Not just for the poms. Australians use a lot of this also. My favorites were always bonnet and hood. A bonnet is what we in the US call the hood. The hood is what we in the US call a convertible top, which looks like a bonnet. |

The Element is Aluminium The metal that is extracted by the electrolytic method (invented in the US) iS aluminum. And you almost never handle pure Aluminium, as all of what we are used to is an Aluminum Alloy. I dont hear the same complaints when we call certain alloys of Iron "Steel". Maybe if we had named it Ironum instead of Steel, then we would have complaints? |

We don't call magnesium alloy magnesum. Why does 'aluminum' omit the second 'i'? No other element follows the same convention. It's like someone made a typo a long time ago, and we just ran with it.
