I actually love this car back door handle placement. It makes it looks like it has no back door handle, which is very clean look 😍😍😍
I totally agree! I've had so many people ask me where is the handle for the back door and the look on there face when I show them where it is, priceless.
Thanks mate . I just got mine today and still learning all the hidden bells and whistle. Your video really made it easy for me.
Emmanuel from Sydney, Australia
Great video. Had my HRV 2 years now n still learned a few things!
Thank you - It's packed with features, the new models have even more.
This was so helpful! My car is 4 days old so I’m going through all the documentation online & doing a bunch of google searches. Thankfully, that means that my browser cookies told CZcams to suggest this video to me!! Lol.
I'm glad to hear that it was helpful, it's an older video but I'm glad to hear its still useful to my viewers, you're welcome. Check out the other HRV videos on my channel.
Don't forget about the fact that it leaks water from the top and stains the headliner and good old Honda won't accept responsibility. Love it. Mine is a 2016 with a sunroof
Hey, I'm planning on getting this version aswell 2016. Can you tell me the pro and cons please?
I learned some new things about my car. Thank you!
great information...I am currently shopping for a 2016 model.
You taught me a LOT.. thank you very much!
You are welcome Jim, glad to help.
Thanks Chard. That's some good tips that weren't obvious.
You are welcome - glad to help
Very helpful video,
Thanks for sharing.
I love my 2016 HR-V EX-L, I’m glad you do too!
Glad to hear that
Hey does yours come with navigation?
@@VybeWithTheMrs It does, I didn’t like Honda’s navigation software so I don’t use it really, but the large screen it nice
Thank you! I just got it on Saturday, the EX-L navi,. Great tips to know...any for the navi?
Quite a useful video. I learnt quite a bit, I have the 2018 HRV. I was not told about the brake hold and I find it quite useful in traffic.
Glad to help it's one of my favorite features, I have more HRV coming.
Great video brother 👍🏿
my wife told me to tell you thanx!... a few of those features she did not know about 🍻
very useful tips. thank you!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Good video I have the 2018 hr-v and these tips helped alot.
Glad to hear that, thank you
they are gone now in my friend's 2023. Though someone has mentioned 1 might be hidden in cargo compartment.
Thanks i really liked your video.
Nice, what abkut the magic seats?
Great video thanks! I have a 2017. Had zero problems with it. Once it hit 100,000 the trans went. Thankfully, I had a power train on it from the dealer. Cost me $100 for the deductible. I didn’t know about changing the dash lights. I will use that now. 😃
That's awesome Debra, over 100,000 miles great you had that powertrain warranty $100 is a steal for a new transmission. On to the next 100,000 👍
This is a great video, I liked the fact you can not lock keys in truck, and also going to check out my gas cap.
mhruston noah yeah the trunk thing doesn't work with the LX model (cheapy).
Hello from Australia Chard 😁. It took 5 years before I found that the rear hatch also has a small lock button next to the open button, I was always having to get the key fob out to lock it after I opened the hatch to put something in! 😜. Thanks for the video!
Where is the button????
@@connieward2042 just to the right of the open button, but it is a lot smaller!
Nice HR-V! Great video. Can you please share what tint specs you went with? Looks great 👍
Great tips. Thank you!
+C Cordero you're welcome.
Thanks I love my HR-V. I don't see too many on the road yet.
Thanks so much! That was very helpful!
Welcome
Excellent review
Thank you kindly Glad you enjoyed it
Hello, Thanks for the video. I’ve had my HRV for over a year now and never knew how to use the break hold on it until I watched your video 🙌🏼 Thank you! My HRV is a stick shift and I wanted to know if I’m still able to get a start remote for it as well?
You are welcome glad to help. You know that's a good question about the remote start on the stick shift models & I wish I had the answer.
Thank you very helpful
Well done, Chard.
Thank you Rea
Great info
Thank you
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome
Well done video- thanks.
Thank you very much
I like the gas cap holder
Thanks for the video. A couple questions. I always like the feature of remote key fob to roll down the windows while walking to the car in the hot day. I don't seem able to do with HRV2019 and if there is a way to do or install it? Also, if I set the headlight to Auto, I don't like when locking the car, the headlight is flashing. Is there a way to configure or disable that other than setting the headlight to manual. Thx!
Thank you VB Coach, yeah unfortunately Honda didn't add that feature to the HRV like they did with the Accord for instance. No to the headlights too, I . haven't found a way to do that either. Those are not user accessible options.
@@ChardTheTechGuy, THANKS MUCH for you response and insightful info. At least now I know it is not doable and not trying to find way to do.
Anytime, glad to help.
Quick question the power window I don’t like when I try to get a lil air It goes all the way down why does it do that is it a way to cut that window off because I see it only does that on my driver side and a next quick question they said it’s good to reset u r oil from 40 to 100 % is that good or bad
Sha if you hold the button too long then it goes in the auto mode, best to tap the button and you can also tap the button when it's going all the way up or down by itself to stop it instantly. Hope that helps.
Thanks man for the info👌✌
You are welcome, glad to help.
Thank you for that info. We just got ours and by surfing you tube we found this. Ours is a 2016 and its a misty green.
Congrats
Here's one more feature that didn't made it into the video, if you turn your intermitting wipe blades to max they will run constantly while driving and stop when you stop. Try it
Chard The Tech Guy LX also doesn't have this feature.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Than you
thanks for ur video and i have a question about start engine button: many people on youtube said need 3 steps for start the engine, but the others said just 1 step (push break pedal) and engine start button. For u, which one is better for hrv? and any explanation for that? once again, thanks buddy
Hey Richard thank you very much, here is the real facts, Push the Brake Pedal & Push the Start/Stop Button
thanks Chard
Is the HRV worth buying?
Is there a directional compass (N, S, E, W) feature in 2018 HR-V? I don't have navigation system
Not in the base trim level.
Thanks for informative video. I didn't know some of them.
Question (I have also a 2016 HRV): my car has stopped beeping recently when I push the lock bottun twice on the fob. Do you know how I can fix it?
Now, I should always double check whether all doors are locked or not since I don't hear the beep.
The only other thing I can think of is the hood, check it to make sure you didn't pop the hood by accident. I know that will prevent the beep also. Let me know if that fix it.
@@ChardTheTechGuy, thanks for quick and CORRECT reply. My wife mistook the hood button with gas one last time she stopped at a gas station. Thanks again!!
@Ehsan Dadvar, I understand how that could happen, they are so close together. You are welcome and I'm always happy to help.
have a 2016 hrv 74000 miles lookin to stiffen up suspension stuts any recomendations do lot of highway miles at high speeds car bounces to much thx
frank j Depinto how many freaken miles do you drive a day? I thought I was bad doing 100 a day.
I have a 2019 hrv exl. It does not have the option to start the car from the keyless entry. What year or what trim are u talking about. Also I can't open the trunk with the keyless entry. The ring color can't be changed the way you said it. I have to do it through vehicle settings. Not sure what you have there
The features I'm talking about in this video is pertaining to the 2016 EX model in which I mention in the beginning of the video and description, the remote start is an optional installation with the Honda dealer, it's not standard on the HRV. Honda has made changes from one model year to another, so I understand things are different from the 2016 to the 2019, that's out of my control
Pushing the eject button ejects the cd? Woah. 😂
lol
Think he was saying it does that without turning on the vehicle.
Without turning on the vehicle
I’ve just purchased the same charcoal grey colour. Where can I find a manual or video of all the functions and features of the car?
Hello Salma L, if you don't have the manual for your vehicle you can download it from Honda website - here you go owners.honda.com/vehicle-information/manuals
Well done thanks
Eric Messer - Thank you for watching and commenting - That was one of my earlier videos. 🙂
superb
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Chard The Guy Tech, great review, if you had to choose between honda hrv ex 2019 and toyota rav4 2018, which one will you choose? Which one would you recommend to a new driver? Thank you!
Hello Jean Claude Junior Anastil, the Honda HRV and Toyota RAV are in two different class. The RAV4 actually compares to the Honda CRV, because of size and engine power. Honda & Toyota makes reliable vehicles, so the choice boils down to size and horsepower. I chose the HRV because of the gas-saving feature and the perfect size for me, plus I'm a Honda man, nothing against Toyota, I like the styling of the Hondas. So I will always recommend the Honda, but can't go wrong with Toyota either, but remember the RAV4 is much bigger than the HRV.
@@ChardTheTechGuy thank you again for your quick response, do you think the Honda EX 2019 would be a great choice?
Yes, it's right in the middle (the sweet spot) when it comes to features - go give it a test drive and tell me what you think.
@@ChardTheTechGuy i would love to, but it is not avalaible at piazza honda in my city yet, i will have to wait next month they said or december😣
Okay, just be patient if you can.
Wowww!!! Thank you
were did you buy your seat covers?

Does the Honda remote start fob also work as the door and ignition key?
Hey Robert, it unlock and lock the doors, but you still need the smart key fob to start the engine.
I was afraid of that. That is how mine works. Quite a step backward from the other Honda remotes. Thanks for the info!
love my HR-V!
Same here
Own a 2016 Honda hrv. The parking brake light is on. Service tech claims a module in the computer melfunction.causing the problem what to you think
It sounds like it is a computer issue or faulty sensor.
can i know does the 7 inch cd player play video like MTV video music,,can i use a usb pen drive to play movie and what format does the player support.
Richelim Pengju it depends on model of the car. I think normally cd support music files. Not sure about movie. To make sure, u have to read car's user manual.
Where is the USB port location bro?
I just purchased a 2017 HR-V EX and have no been able to verify if and where the hazard lights are located does anyone know?? And ty for this information 👍🏾
The Hazard light button is right below the vent on the driver above the start button
@@ChardTheTechGuy ty much❤️
What up man quick question is it worth it if I upgraded my car to from 2018 part to 2019 part but it’s a lease owner car and I have it for 2 more years like 2020 my lease will be up but I don’t wanna give it back I wanna traded it in for a different car say like Acura. And the parts I wan upgrade to I say remote start headlight fog lights and that’s outside part and more body weight to it and the inside part change this old ass car radio into touch screen and the heater and ac into touch screen also and maybe add the walk away lock doors to what you think a bout that question is it good or bad or worth doing from a person that has a HR-v because my HR-v is a Lx 2018 basic model with no sun rooftop I was thinking can I add one if it’s not one already in my car my bad for the long comment lol
Sha Money, I would upgrade to EX 2018, it's probably cheaper or if you really want 2019, I would go with the Sport.
Chard The Tech Guy if I can say I don’t want the lx and ask for a sport they will say I can end my lease to soon or I will have to pay more just to get a new car so I guess just to upgrade it will be a lot more cheaper to go out and get a new 2019
Thank you...how do you change the language settings from japanese to english?
That option is available in the System Settings - Language. But I can only change mine in USA to the English, French & Spanish. Maybe in other regions the language choices are different.
@@ChardTheTechGuy ok thanks much.
@@hareshrishisugrim You are welcome
Thanks
06:55 I exit my car with my keys engine running and if I close all my door I always hear that beep ... any tips on what it is or if I could turn it off?
Its a sound that tells you that you left the car with your key
Cool thanks
Byron, Thank you for watching.
I have hrv. About side mirror, im not sure on yours if it has a button to use when engine on in stead of push it yourself.
No mine is total manual - Maybe in future model Honda will make it powered
Why would you want it powered? I want as little as possible to be electric as when it breaks, and it will break u are sol.
Chard The Tech Guy : I have the most basic model of the Honda hrv 2016 will the mirrors fold on mine too? (Seems tour model has a few more things my model doesn’t)
@@ChardTheTechGuy There is a button on the drivers door that folds the mirrors in when the engine is on. Also when you lock the car with the button on the handle you can make the mirrors fold by holding the button down after locking the car.
@@peterfrimas1539 There is? Don't see it on mine.
Fold side mirrors manually. What a tip! Nobody ever thought of that
👍
There is a toggle button on the driver's side door which folds the side mirrors
so if i want to off the brake hold need to push it again? sorry for the english
Yes that's true and it automatically goes off when you turn off the engine.
Chard The Tech Guy thankyou the release of my car is on 29 so thanks for extra information
Anytime - Glad to help
awesome bro
Welcome
+RichOfAll I am a very
Smart entry system in honda hrv 2016
Can you open the trunk with the keyless entry? Mine won't do it. Called the Honda service dept and the manufacturer and they don't know. Can I imagine?
You can only unlock it - it doesn't open by itself. It will also unlock automatically if you have the key fob with you.
How is your Hrv holding up? I already replaced my 2 rear shock absorbers under warranty after 25,000 miles and push start button after 30,000 miles..
It's still holding up great, I haven't had any of the problems you have experience and I'm at 40,000+ miles. The paint has faded on the backdoor handle and couple paint chips on the hood from highway pebbles. Oh water got in the Driver's rear light but luckily it was still under warranty and I got a free replacement.
I had to do the shock absorbers under 23000 miles (I drive only 10 easy miles a day!) Now at 26000 the smart entry light is on (can’t figure out what that means) and I just went out of warranty a week ago, i just got the notice about the possible paint peeling on white orchid painted hrv...mine! I’m very disappointed with Honda so far. This is my first Honda and at this rate it will be my last!
Nancy Sipler I have the same problem with the smart entry light.. The push button start causing the problem
@@nancy4743 Sorry to hear that I'm starting to have issues with mine too. My key light is either off and on every time I start the car. On the HRV forum quite a few people have been having issue with that key light coming on and some have pay big money to get it fix. That's shocking that your shock absorbers went out that early. I can understand your disappointment., many of us are too.
@@parsabbaluca21 This should be a class-action against Honda, some how they knew the starter switch was going to fail in short period of time, that's why the light indicator was built into the dash.
Is the 2016 the only year with remote start or is it a particular model of the HRV
A.N.G none of the HRV from 2016-2019 has the remote start, that's an additional accessory from Honda.
@@ChardTheTechGuy Ok, thanks for the info. I just got mine, so I'm not completely sure about all the features.
@@a.n.g6557 No problem. what year if you don't mind me asking?
@@ChardTheTechGuy 2019.
The S on the gear shifter label is Sport ? Or second gear
It is for sport mode
@@ChardTheTechGuy 2016 model right ?
@@AlmightyDurty That's correct
How much it cost you to install the remote start?
It was an additional $399 cost, not sure how much the labor cost was, it was included in the purchase cost.
thank u
they gone in the 2023
Does the car have an oil temperature gauge? I didn't see one while watching your lovely video :)
Oil Percentage Gauge Only
SweetxRisha no oil pressure gauge. Also the percent is not the percent of oil but rather what percentage of oil life is remaining. Once u reach 20% you will get a message annoying you on each start that you need to change the oil.
Can you get the mirrors to fold when you lock the car?
long press on lock
@@haha-jx5ui oh thanks!
Do you like the CVT? Do you have to service it?
It's okay, it's great on gas mileage but slow on take off if you are lead foot/
@@ChardTheTechGuy When do you change the fluid in it?
@@7inchsoldier397 I'm not sure, so far they haven't said anything at the dealership
@@ChardTheTechGuy Oh ok, I thought maybe there was a service interval on the CVT.
@@7inchsoldier397 I will try to find out that info from the dealership and get back with you.
On the drivers side mirror there is sometimes a little car that appears on the other side of the line. Does anyone know what this means?
Maybe a lane watch feature? I have and HR-V and haven't seen that. Interesting!
Small orange light appeared on side mirror? Some cars have that feature when a car near yours and it can detect in range. It lets driver knows that theres a car near u, u can aware of that before u change the lane or sth.
Another great features is, you can adjust the headlamp height by using a control button...
Remy Nordin is that an ex model feature as I haven't seen any way on the lx.
Hello ! I am French speaking and I use google translation :-) sorry!
My alarm goes off alone ... do you have a solution? We have owned a hr-v 2016 since yesterday and at 3 times the alarm sounded for no reason.
ps. thanks for your informative video!
Johanne H. Aubin I have a 2017 HRV and the same thing happened to me. Any loud noises or cars running under the car would trigger the alarm for the first few weeks. I took it back to the Honda Dealer and they had to adjust it for me. Hope this helps.
Make sure all door and hood is closed i would take it to dealer ur hood sensor might won't be working its happend some time ..
Can somebody tell me where is the USB port location is? 🙏
Hi Ibad Taylor, It's right under the shift knob column, it's like a bridge - i.gaw.to/content/photos/19/11/191126_2016_Honda_HR-V.jpg
I don't have an EX but my 6 speed manual LX does most of these (Of course without remote start because manual)
Yes you are right - I tried the basic things - the remote start was additional
helpful...and thanks.....btw...tomorrow i am going to see a ::: 2016 Honda HR-V EX-L w/Navigation for $15K...thanks again...
You are welcome and I hope you will able to join the HRV family. Thank you & Keep me posted.
@@ChardTheTechGuy ... hello, i took the test drive and too small for me...i ain't tall or big guy...just when i moved the seat back my left leg was hanging so i could reach the acce/// ...i felt more safe as a pass than a driver....so, this wkend i found a CR-V 2016 fully loaded for $17K, 39K. Thank you .
Why gas do you use?
87 octane
5:00 “Break hold” lol
😂
Where the heck is the drivers side trunk release button??? I have done everything but stand on my head to find it. Not gonna stand on my head I’m too old!
Don't think there's one - you have to open the trunk from the rear.
What if it does not open from the rear .is there any emergency button or switch or anything. Instead of paying the dealer ship 500 each time
@@josephallen9088 the key clicker should release it but there’s no other way believe me I’ve looked
Which HRV is faster the auto or the manual?
Good question, but I would have to say the automatic, because it has a CVT engine that doesn't require shifting.
I would think so too, but couldn't find anywhere that they have been raced or tested. They just say that the MPG is better with the CVT.
I notice that most car reviewers on CZcams frown up the CVT, so I guess why you don't see any test, but that's an opportunity waiting to grab hold of.
I like to drive a stick. But for a daily driver I like the HRV with a CVT much better. People keep complaining that the HRV is too slow. But I've driven a FWD HRV, and even with 3 or 4 people in the car, I thought the power was fine. I mean I don't expect it to outrun race cars anyway. But maybe it would be nice if they offered an SI turbocharged version.
7 inch soldier I can't find it now but I was looking the other day at oil change info and it had the specs. The CVT was a few ms faster than the manual in the 0 to 60 rating. My wife has the LX (low model, lol) and it sucks on acceleration from 0 to 30 but anything 40 to 90 it moves. It's like a different car on the highway and it can move in between other cars with ease. I guess it's torqued for high end power instead of low. Seats suck and the car is only 6 months old and they are tore up. Who makes seats out of jersey material? The windows suck and are slow as heck from just about every other car. Also why couldn't they have used a ac blower fan that was adjustable rather than requiring fixed speeds (1, 2, 3 ,4). Just about every car today has adjustable fan speed but the HRV is either to weak or blowing like a bat out of hell. It's a cheap little car but it looks great and is a lot of fun to drive on the highway. I was actually told, by mutiple honda workers, not to get the ex model as the stereo will make you want to run the car into a wall. The ex comes with the all touch stereo and they say it sucks balls......really really bad.
I just wanted to know more about the Hrv because very hard for me
Hey Sandy check out this playlist (czcams.com/play/PL8BWSmfsxNf0gmhO7_PUYWzeZ6YECEhac.html) of all the videos about the HRV.
If you have any questions just ask and I will help you.
Great vid loaded with nice tips. But if you can tell me how to shut up the computer lady who shouts at me to put my seat belt on when Im just backing my car out of the garage to wash it- THAT would be most excellent! LOL.
Thank you very much, I wish I know how to do that, mine just dings at me.
I have one other question, where is the hot and cold temperature gauge
Unfortunately, you are out of luck there - doesn't exist on these models.
@@ChardTheTechGuy Oh Goodness, so what'll happen if the car runs hot?!? Will we even know?!? 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
@@a.n.g6557 Yeah shocking! I think the temperature icon that pop-up on the dash when you start up will be the only indicator.
Well the HRV is lik an oversized version of the Fit n lik d Fit there is no temperature gauge🤷🏿♂️...so go figure
Just to let you know about #10. You can still lock your keys in the vehicle. I’ve done it.
That's strange, I tired mine today again and it still won't let me do it, what year model do you have?
Hello. How do I change ringtone in car. When some one calls me. Thank you
I haven't seen an option for that.
@@ChardTheTechGuy because when some one calls me on my phine it goes straight to Bluetooth. The ringtone killing my ears. Its so ugly ring omg
I understand what you mean, but Honda didn't provide the option to choose like the did with the ring color, strange.
You sound Jamaican. Anyway, great tips. Would love to drive home in one of these.
Yep, born and raised. Thanks!
+RichOfAll Cool. Cool
I was thinking the same thing, especially when he said, "like a seh..."
I didn't know about the gas cap holder!
how to turn on walk away auto door lock in 2016 honda HRV?
Sorry, Johny that feature is not available on that year model, it's available on the latest editions.
"My color is red."
Yeah I tried all the colors, but the red is my fav too.
You still have the Honda HRV?
Not anymore, sold it Nov 2020 for the Kia Telluride.
@@ChardTheTechGuy My mom has a 2018 HRV. She likes it. How you like the Kia?
#10 - My 2016 HRV EX locked me out twice, in the winter. So I keep the keys on me all the time.
Wow, I wonder how. I tried severals times to do and mine will not do it. Sorry to hear that, have you tried taking it back to dealer and finding out why?
Mine only does it when I start it with my (after market) remote start. Do you have an after market remote starter?
You forgot to mention that some of these feature are only available on the EX model only and not the Honda HR-V LX model.
Updated in the Title - Thank you
The most expensive feature is transmission out at 180.000 miles without a warning 💥
Okay
Mmmm not really u probably didn’t do ur oil changes buddy
I want to love this car so badly but I just cant get over the moan drone and feel of the cvt it makes me upset..and don't say get a manual cause I want an ex-l
I understand CVT is not for everyone
@@ChardTheTechGuy my perspective has now changed...I love the cvt I spent some time with one and once you learn how to drive it ..its good
It’s boring and noisy and rides like I’m on a board. Seats are not meant for long trips but it’s a very good daily commuter. I went from a Mustang to the HR-V so that is tainting my opinion.
@@connieward2042 sorry for your loss
@@Lexrolla-1 it was a tragedy
Cool but I had to get a basic hr v sad face
It's all good still a good choice
I need a power port review next to the driver side like what is what and I wan change my headlights and beam lights and thanks for the tips inside lights now I need a video for the headlights lol but I know it’s the same car but urs is 16 and I’m a 18 they said they didn’t change nothing on the car lol to a LX
So the last one doesn't work on mine, I threw the keys on the passenger seat once and loaded the kids through the trunk (they like climbing over the seats) when I closed the trunk the car locked... with the kids inside. Thankfully one of them was able to unlock the car but scary moment
Wow, that's is not cool, glad to hear it turned out for the good though. That's strange, that it didn't work, what year HRV do you own?
Y does chard sound like he Jamaican or from the island he said lock di car lol lol lol
