What are the hidden features of the Honda CR-V?
2 Answers
2021 CR-V hidden features include: 1. Remote lock/unlock buttons: All doors and tailgate will lock or unlock. If no door is opened within 30 seconds after unlocking with the remote transmitter, the doors will automatically relock. 2. Signal light flashing: When locking or unlocking doors, all exterior turn signals and two indicator lights on the instrument panel will flash. 3. Key lock function: Fully inserting and turning the key can lock the doors. 4. Remote control buttons: Long-pressing the lock button will automatically raise all windows, while long-pressing the unlock button will automatically lower all windows. This feature is particularly useful in summer for quickly reducing interior temperature and providing ventilation.
After driving the CRV for so many years, I've discovered some often-overlooked features. For example, the windshield washer nozzle height can be adjusted - just rotate it slightly with a small wrench to change the spray direction and avoid splashing pedestrians on rainy days. The key remote also has tricks: holding the unlock button for a few seconds automatically opens the sunroof and windows, which is super practical for summer ventilation. The same operation when locking closes everything. There's even a hidden menu in the instrument cluster - inserting and turning the key several times enters service mode to display detailed data. Under the trunk floor is a spare tool storage compartment perfect for a first aid kit. From a safety perspective, experimenting with these features can enhance daily convenience, but it's best to check the manual before making too many adjustments to avoid mistakes. During regular maintenance, I ask technicians to briefly inspect these functions.
