Things you didn't know about your Si

[zroger73]

It's been a long time since I drove a manual, so this may be common these days, but...

I was surprised to learn that you can shift gears while the cruise control is on.

You can also roll your windows down by pressing unlock on your keyfob 3 times. On the 3rd, time, hold unlock. All windows and sunroof opens. To roll back up, take valet key out and put in keyhole in door, turn to right either 2 or 3 times. On the 2 or 3rd time to the right, hold it and everything should close again. Not sure if it will do it by pressing lock 3 times.

Cool! My TSX doesn't do it... and I use cruise control all the time, so this should come in handy.

That it would take this long to arrive

I'm glad they finally added this feature none of the other si's had this. It would definitely come in handy on a hot summer day and living in Kentucky it's bound to happen any second. Lol. Also not sure if the 13-15's had this. I know my 12 doesn't.

I agree, I have a 14 and they did "not" have this feature. It is very good for what you mentioned, hot summer day and just rolling down as you're walking to it to let some of that heat escape.

The si turbo cost less on Hondapartsnetwork than the non si turbo. Odd.

Isn't it just a CR-V turbo?

That's because it has two fewer vanes (9 on the Si and CR-V vs. 11 on the others).

Yep. Same part number - 18900-5PA-A01.

This is across all 10th gens! And its two times. Three does nothing extra.

Ya, I wasn't for sure if it was 2 or 3. I know 9th gens didn't have it so when my wife got a 10th gen it worked on hers. Nice to see it'll work on SI's now too.

The remote window down feature has been around in various Honda models for many years now. My first Honda - an '06 Accord - had it as did my '07 Ridgeline, '10 Ridgeline, '14 Ridgeline, '16 CR-V, and '17 Ridgeline. Like my Si, the latter two also opened the sunroof as well. My '09 Civic was the only one that didn't.

I discovered this morning when pulling into my parking space at work that the parking brake automatically set itself when I turned the car off. I've been setting it before turning the car off. I forgot this morning, but it did it for me.

I noticed this too but it wasn't consistent. I figured out that it has to do with your seat belt. As soon as you unbuckle, the e-brake turns on. This works with engine on or off

That makes sense - especially now that I read the manual.
