Electronics!
It's great having all these wonderful electronics in the Fit, but it would better if it was easy to use them. I did a service on my son's 2020 Fit yesterday. Now I'm going to have to search YouTube to find out how to reset the TPMS light and the Maintenance lights. The TPMS light on my 2015 is easy to reset. I spent a few minutes pressing the steering wheel buttons on the 2020 yesterday and got nowhere. The owners manual does not explain how to reset it, although it says how important that light is.
I think the maintenance light is mentioned in the manual, but I'll look up both of them on YouTube. Then I'll type out directions and put them in the glove compartment.

That’s what I do with stuff I would like to know but necessarily remember... so far in our Fit, I have the radio code, and the silly sequence one must dance through to to mostly disable VSC tucked away in the glovebox...apparently I can still disable (mostly) VSC without referencing the note, amazingly enough

My 2015 has a button to turn off the VSC. I don't know about the 2020.

. The VSC button just “kind of” turns it off... there’s a pattern to run through with the switch and the brakes to disable everything but ABS...turn car on, in neutral (I assume Park would work as well), parking brake off. Put your foot on the brake pedal, turn off VSC, turn it back on, release brake pedal... engage parking brake, turn off/on VSC, release parking brake... one more time, this time apply brake and parking brake, VSC off/on, the light will be blinking wildly, only stays that way while car is running, if you shut it down it defaults to VSC on.....just an interesting lil thing

. I think Honda wants you to think it does so, supposedly it’s still functioning to a lesser degree, as I understand it... I’m amazed, in this day and age, that they’d even deeply hide a way to turn it off... dunno if I read it on Fitfreak first, or elsewhere, but it seems to work, I think the only safety nannie left in place is ABS.... of course, I could be totally wrong about all of it....it’s a strange lil “Easter egg” hidden in there electronically
