One thing i learned from my girls vw that the fl5 does is you tap the driver side door handle(little paint matches lines) & it will lock your car. As well as the obvious put your hand between the handle and door & it will unlock.
Hi guys! I am French and i want to thank his man for this video. I am a new (and happy)owner of an FL5 Civic Type R and want to thank you for helping me to discover those « hidden » features. I was a owner during 18 years of a Subaru Impreza WRX and I can tell you the Honda Civic Type R is far much better… even if the bad French government put on it a stupid malus tax of (please breathe a little before reading ..) of 12.000 (which is certainly made to save polar bears). The Honda is handsome and just fabulous, buy it right now if you can.
Congratulations 🎊 👏. All your tips I knew before and windows tricks from my 2009 Ridgeline truck and all our Honda/Acura products since. But to add to that feature...use key 🔑 in fob in driver door to bring up from open or down like fob and use on my 2023 Integra, 2020 2.0T Accord, 2020 2.0T Acura RDX, 2009 and 2018 Ridgeline trucks, 2022 mdx 2016 civic. My issue with my 2023 Integra Elite a spec Canada 🇨🇦 version MT is not trunk release button and fob only unlock but not open like my 2020 2.0T Accord or mdx or rdx
@@turbo_tin that’s odd. Definitely works for me on my fl5. Also works the same on a 2014 civic, as well as a 2011 and 2019 jazz (fit). I just looked in the manual, and it says: “To close: Press the lock button, and then within 10 seconds, press it again and hold it.”
I've heard a lot of people mention that the cabin noise in the FL5 is quite noticeable. What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you have any insights or comments on it? Thanks in advance.
Hey there, Cabin noise in the FL5 is definitely something to be worry about if you're looking for a daily driver. It doesn't have as much noise insulation as regular civics so they're on the louder side. You'll definitely get more NVH in this. Hopes that helps
@@turbo_tin Thank you. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to test drive the car. In Sweden, the only option is to place an order, which isn't ideal when you're looking for a daily driver. It's frustrating because you might end up with something that bothers you after purchase.
Do you have any knowledge on changing the current gauge display on the comfort and sport mode? Mine is different from what I saw in your video. My gauge display is not the round type.
helpful video! good 👍. In Italy unfortunately for lane warn setup, we don't have the "warning only"... but only: early-normal-delayed. every time I have to disengage the shaking steering via the controls button and the cluster, on the adas check...😔
Having all the doors unlock with the handle is a horrible idea. You generally only want your door to unlock so nobody can just get in on the other side.
Good point! It's definitely a concern if you're in a sketchy area. I'm very privileged to live and work in very low risk areas. I did this mainly for convenience of my passengers when I have them. Thank you for watching!
There is a rear jacking point hidden under the driver's side rear plastic diffuser panel, there is a vid to show exactly where. Still need to see if there is a safe front wheels jacking point. Otherwise the regular jack ridges along the sides
@@turbo_tin From the owner's manual: ■Unlocking the doors and hatch Press the unlock button. Once: > Some exterior lights flash twice, and the driver's door and fuel fill door unlock. Twice: > The remaining doors and hatch unlock.
As a fellow FL5 owner, this was good to know. Great tips. I went out and tried them out and they worked.
Thanks for watching Troy! Glad I can help.
Thanks for the video! It's ok to be super single, you'll discover "super fun" things that you like about yourself. Like late night cruises in the FL5
Thanks for watching! Being single has been quite fun haha
I learned nothing new about my car 😒 would have been nice to watch right after I got it. Nice video
Thanks for watching!

Yep. It totally does that. Thanks for letting us know!

Congrats on your new car! Hope you enjoy it!
Was wondering if it had auto window roll down! Thanks, from absolutely sweltering Florida!
Hope it gets better down there!

I will try those out. Thanks for watching!
Sux we paid all that money and no trunk release or wiper for that matter.
Good stuff! FK8 windows only roll down half way automatically. Also wish they rolled back up when clicking the remote again.
I wish they rolled back up too. Thanks for watching Joe!
@@turbo_tin if you do the same in reverse - press the lock button then immediately press it again and hold it - it will close all windows.
@@ASJC27 just tried this and did not work. You sure?

If you have a jazz I'm thinking you might not have a USDM car. That could be the difference

In that case I would recommend test driving the FK8. They be similar in that regard
Very informative Thanks Brother !👍🏻👊🏻
Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
automobile MERAVIGLIOSA.
Could you tell me the parts number for the keyfob? Would like to order one for my reg civic!
Nice bro, thanks for the tips... ¡greetings from Panama! Central America
Happy to help. Thanks for watching!

What are you seeing if not the round tach?
good video , help me a lot thanks .
Glad it helped!
Very helpful 👍
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Waiting for the exhaust video on your FL5 🔥
Very very soon! Thanks for watching Ashwin!
Great job!
Thank you for your kind words!
2 separate dealers have 2 type r..but asking 17k$ or more over..thats why they still have them
I hope they continue sitting on them and lose money. Thanks for watching!
Great vid thanks. Do you know whether you can put your own pic on the infotainment Home Screen like you could on the FK8?
I have not found that setting yet but I believe it is doable. Will post another vid when I find it. Thanks for watching!
@@turbo_tin TY! I'll keep a look out!
A SCHOLAR WITH A TYPE R!? 🧑🎓🏎📈📈
Awesome!!!
Hope it helped. Thanks for watching Ray!
Can you have the type r gauge cluster in the individal mode?
You definitely can. That's what I have it as
helpful video! good 👍. In Italy unfortunately for lane warn setup, we don't have the "warning only"... but only: early-normal-delayed. every time I have to disengage the shaking steering via the controls button and the cluster, on the adas check...😔
Thanks for watching Raffaele. Unfortunate on the lane warning thing. Must be a European regulation 😔
Do you know how to turn off the beeping sound at the top of the rpm ?
It'll be under vehicle settings -> meter setup -> shift up alarm
@@turbo_tin thanks bro !
4:20 29 MPG avg!? Man, I'm lucky to get 22 with my driving habits in a DE5 😂
This was before I bought the exhaust. Now it's sub 20 😂
Nice speedy!
Thanks!!
Cool, the lane Assistent is really annoying.👍👍👍
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!

Only when you are a paranoid American
How do jack up the car to put on jack stand?
I have not jacked my car up yet but I would assume the jack points are in the manual. Thanks for watching!
There is a rear jacking point hidden under the driver's side rear plastic diffuser panel, there is a vid to show exactly where. Still need to see if there is a safe front wheels jacking point. Otherwise the regular jack ridges along the sides
But..with default settings I think that you could also open only driver door with one push and all doors with second push after opening driver's door
You mean by using the unlock door button after getting in?
@@turbo_tin From the owner's manual:
■Unlocking the doors and hatch
Press the unlock button.
Once:
> Some exterior lights flash twice, and the
driver's door and fuel fill door unlock.
Twice:
> The remaining doors and hatch unlock.
Twice (within five seconds after the first
push)
So i think it's better to leave it standard and press 1 for driver only or 2 times also for passengers
Ah that's if you want to use your key fob. This method lets you use the door handle sensor.
" I am also very single"😂. Nah man your in a relationship with your FL5
Maybe just read the owner’s manual 🤦♂️
