This might only work when the key's in the "On" position.
The USB port in the glove box, as FexMonkey mentioned, is to plug in an iPod or thumb drive to play through the stereo.
The S on the gear shift is for "Sport" mode, where you can shift manually using the paddles, if you desire. Shifting with the paddles merely overrides the shift points on the automatic transmission, at least up to the point where the transmission shifts itself to avoid overrevving the engine. It's fun to play with, but probably won't do much for the fuel economy, which is why most people buy the Fit anyway. Shifting with the paddles WILL NOT ruin your car. Sounds to me like your car salesman, like altogether too many others, knows very little about what he's selling....

OK, I thought the other port, like the plug next to the cigarette lighter, and the cig lighter were for the iPod. (at least one of them that I had in my older Honda) I have not seen a USB port in a car. So the USB port is for the iPod too? How many ways do iPod users need to use their machine? What would happen if I plugged the USB cable into the USB plug on my notebook? I know stupid question (well, try it and see what happens...)
I am still lost as far as the paddles. They work not just in "S" but in "D" too.
So far I am not impressed with this car. is the Fit considered a good car? I got sucked into buying it. I did not check it out before I said yes to the sales guy. I took my ca in to see how much they would give me for my Honda Civic and the next thing i was saying yes to a Fit that just came in. I can barely fit in the car and the NAV is way too complicated for me.
Thanks for your help guys.
