Things you didn't know about your Si

- Dim the dash lights using the "trip" knob.
- Coupe doors have 2 or 3 almost perfectly distanced "stop" positions (to avoid ramming things with the longer doors).

Still exploring other features, but there aren't as many gizmos as the normal Civic Touring I drove.

with this logic it means we don't have to bother to turn the parking brake on and off all the time?

Unfortunately no, the parking brake only auto engages if the brake hold is on. So if you make sure to have it on before you get out of the car every time then yes it will work. But it's just as much effort to push the electric parking brake. I do love the auto disengage of the brake when you put the vehicle in gear tho.

I'm dumb... and ashamed of myself

Dude don't be lol. I thought the same thing. Ha

I always use brake hold just so I don't forget the parking brake . Still trying to adjust to the electronic brake . I ghost pull an ebrake STILL

the window feature is awesome . Also looks cool to onlookers I wish I could not enable the sunroof tho and put windows back up . Couldn't figure out if there was a way to do that

I learned, this morning, upon awaiting for my windows to defrost, that sometimes the e-brake isn't on and the car will very quietly and smoothly start rolling down my driveway. I got lucky and nothing was going on but I was pretty surprised to barely see out of frost covered windows that I was moving... I also don't have the hang of the e-e-brake or brake hold yet...

Yeah, call me crazy but I actually miss the e-brake being an handle. The push button start is also taking to getting use to

In my case, there are a lot to get used to because I have not driven a manual for 12-13 years.

It would be great if the e-brake can be engaged automatically once the car is powered down. However, the car would not be able to be push-start. BTW, can our cars be push-start?

The car will automatically engage the ebrake when powering down so long as you have brake hold on.

By brake hold, are you referring the Hill-Start Assist?

 

[elusiveaura]

No hill start assist is automatically done. Brake hold is the green brake hold button next to shifter. If that’s on then your ebrake will auto engage when powering off

- Dim the dash lights using the "trip" knob

I've been looking for how to do this! I hate having such a massively bright dash.

 

[wopsi]

I hear brake hold doesn’t work/not good when you’re at an incline.

 

[9civic10]

I've never had any issues with brake hold

My trip computers were both NOT set to reset when refueling, so you might want to check yours. I like A to auto reset, B manual.

How exactly do you make the trip computers reset when refueling?
