Fit Pro Tips

Hey guys, if you figure out anything in the car that is a neat, less obvious feature, please share! For example, like somebody else posted, when the windshield wipers are on and you put the car in reverse, it automatically turns on the rear wiper.

Today I learned if you press Info from the home screen and then don't press anything when the sub menu pops up, it will automatically switch to the trip computer after a few seconds.

I also learned that there is a lock button right next to the trunk release button on the hatch! Might be old news to some, but I kept walking around to the driver door to lock everything after getting stuff out of the hatch.

I just discovered this feature two days ago on my 2007 Honda Odyssey, that I have had since new. Amazing! (actually, I thought something was wrong with my electrical system, and my 15 year old son explained the feature to me). And, sure enough, when you switch to DRIVE, the rear wiper stops working.

Does the rear wiper have a last-wipe delay after using the rear window sprayer?
VWs, after you use the sprayer the wiper automatically triggers a few times, then waits about 3-5 seconds, and wipes one more time (to get the last drips that trickle down the window).

Dunno if this is a tip or not, but the front USB port does not charge my OnePlus One (cell phone).
The same cable using the rear USB port does. Possible the rear one has a higher amp rating maybe?

Sorry I just finished reading the entire manual.
The headlights of the car automatically turn on if your windshield wipers are going for a certain amount of indeterminate time, then go off when you turn the wipers off.

Pinch protection on your windows only works until the window is almost closed. Then it ignores pinch input, so watch those fingers! The manual does not state what it perceives as "almost closed"
