Finally lined the backs of my back seats and the rear cargo area with a 4'x6' rubber backed indoor/outdoor type floor mat bought from Lowes for about $25. It didn't turn out as nice as I wanted, but that was my fault because I work one handed (due to a stroke.) Had I had use of both hands I am sure it would have trimmed better and looked great. As it is it doesn't meet my desired look, but isn't too bad. It will still protect the back of the car, especially when the back seats are down. Had trouble finding grommets to mount front edge under back seat headrest posts...and couldn't find any inexpensive grommet anvils in my size. Ended up not using grommets, so the holes I punched in mat will undoubtedly tear out in time. Even so the headrests in retracted positions should hold it in place.
Did it now because tomorrow I'm going to try camping and sleeping in back.

BTW, I also spent $2300 on a new battery pack that was 10% over the warranty period (88k miles on an 80k warranty). After **much** argument, Honda finally agreed to meet me almost half way on it.
Lesson: not all Hondas are created equal when it comes to long term value. Admittedly not another single thing ever broke on the Civic Hybrid, but still, that's a lot of moolah to plop down at one go.

ooohhh! Excited! I contacted a feller here in Montreal with an excellent rep for detailing cars. He uses fancy waxes and products. The best part is that he lets you in on the action as an observer. He's keen on teaching guys the right way to look after paint. I will take all kinds of before, during and after shots!
Wish me luck!

In my 2013 manual its on pages 86-87. I have an automatic so what I had to do (with car off and parked) turn the key to II and press and hold the unlock until I heard the locks click 2 times then let off and turn the car to I. After that you can turn it off.
You can also change the doors to lock when you take it out of park instead of when you hit 10MPH. You do the same as above but hold unlock instead of lock.
EDIT:
With a manual you just have to pull the parking brake and do the above.

you also say you hit unlock twice... is it unlock for the first feature you posted and lock for the second feature (lock immediately after going out of park)
