OVERVIEW
Since its original introduction, the Integra has always been a
driver's car. Every element of the vehicle, from the engine to the
design and location of major and minor function controls, has been
tailored specifically to make the driving experience safe, efficient
and enjoyable. The interior architecture, seats and controls, and the
spatial relationship between the driver and the controls of the
Integra, have all been tailored to keep driver and passengers
comfortable, relaxed and keenly aware of the environment around the
vehicle. For even greater comfort, the base of the driver seat is
tilt/height adjustable. All Integra models feature a leather-wrapped
steering wheel and shift knob as standard equipment, while GS and
GS-R models come with a leather-trimmed interior.
INTERIOR
The cabin space has been designed to divide the cabin longitudinally,
providing the driver and front-seat passenger with a distinct space
separated by the center console. The interior space has been created
like that of a sports car. It's simple, attractive, ergonomically
designed and provides ease of operation. The dash sweeps around the
driver and front passenger and the cabin provides exceptional space
for comfort.
SEATING
The front seats feature fore/aft and seat back rake adjustment, in
addition to a driver's seat lumbar adjustment for proper back
support. To accommodate an even wider variety of operator
preferences, the driver's seat is tilt/height adjustable so that the
seat base can be tilted fore or aft and the overall seat position
raised or lowered. The deeply bolstered seat has three different
densities of foam in its construction to provide proper anatomical
support for the driver's comfort, even after many hours behind the
wheel. Upholstery material has been chosen for its appearance,
durability and grip, a benefit in cornering situations.
The rear seats are designed to keep the occupants at a comfortable position with regard to back rake and angle of the bottom cushion. The rear seats in the Sports Coupe are equipped with two 3-point seat belts, while the Sports Sedan has two 3-point seat belts and a center lap belt.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
In order to enhance readability and allow the driver to absorb vital
information quickly, the Integra features analog instrumentation. The
large, white-on-black instruments are recessed in a binnacle that
blocks out glare.
The instrument panel includes a speedometer, tachometer and gauges for fuel content and engine temperature. Indicator lights are also provided for oil pressure, battery-charging condition, high beams, brake status, SRS diagnostic check, door-ajar indicator, seat belt indicator, check engine, ABS status check and low-fuel indicator. The panel also features a maintenance reminder, which tells the driver when scheduled maintenance is due.
AIR CONDITIONING
All Integra models feature a compact and efficient air conditioning
system as standard equipment. This system is equipped with an
aluminum condenser core to enhance corrosion resistance, and the
system is charged with environmentally friendlier, non-CFC R134a
refrigerant.
AUDIO SYSTEM
The Integra features an AM/FM/CD audio system with six speakers
designed to provide a high level of fidelity and acoustic clarity.
All models feature a pair of 1.3-inch tweeters and 6-inch coaxial
front speakers mounted in the front doors. The Sports Coupes have a
pair of 6-inch rear speakers, while the Sports Sedans have a pair of
6x9-inch rear speakers. Sports sedans feature a printed in-glass
antenna, while coupes featured a power mast-type antenna.
ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES
In an effort to address environmental concerns, the Integra features
a number of components that are recycled or can be recycled at the
end of the vehicle's service life. The bumpers, for instance, are
made of recyclable material and can be recycled if damaged. All of
the plastic components that can be recycled are labeled as such and
can be reconstituted into usable products when the vehicle is
dismantled.
