Just got home to find a “6SN Important Information” letter.
“Civic 5dr Trailer Hitch Vertical Load Owner’s Manual Error”
“What is the issue?”
“The error exists in the section relating to the trailer hitch vertical load. In your Owner’s Manual the value is given as 80kg for a vehicle with a 1.0L engine and 100kg for a vehicle with a 1.5L engine. The correct value is 75kg for vehicles with either 1.0L or 1.5L engine”
Got to pay a visit to my Honda dealer so they can change the manual.
Got another query for you guys....
I have a warning/ notice light coming on which shows a picture of a car with an arrow pointing to a spanner.
I looked this up in the manual and I believe it means that I am due a service in 3000 miles or something like that? (car currently has about 7,300 miles on it).
Is there any way I can turn this off? It is so annoying and I can't believe that if there is a service every 10,000 miles for example, This annoying warning light comes on for approximately 3,000 of those miles???!! Roughly a third of my driving time will have this warning flashing on? It's bizarre.
Thing is I like to be notified of an impending service but not thousands of miles beforehand!.... Maybe like 100 miles before would be nice..
I have one of the Honda dongles in one, list all journeys, routes and speeds etc.

It's TRUE"no I wasn't speeding officer.".."a ha, your dingle dongle tells us otherwise!"

Anyone have issues this morning with the ice/snow triggering the front collision alert when miles away from an object?
All the front sensors I could find appeared to be clear of snow and ice, if it does it again I will try turning the sensors off.
The ice alert does not work correctly on mine either with it rarely flashing up a warning, I know this is triggered at 3 degrees and this morning the temp showed -2 in the car but no warning.

Good questions, I had assumed snow had fell on a sensor but when I got out to check they were clear, I could only find 2 in the bumper, normally I would expect at least 4.Could snow and ice have fallen off your bonnet onto the sensor or flicked up by other road users maybe....
maybe the ice warning doesn't go off as it assumes you can see it when you get into the car!! Maybe It only goes off when it drops to possible icy conditions...(off to check manual)

Maybe, pretty pants IMHO if that is the case .I wonder if it's only daft enough to only trigger when the weather as you are driving/running reduces below 3, i.e. it was 6 degrees, 5, 4, 3 (bing!) while if it is already -2 when you start the car it "assumes" you know it's already freezin' outdoors so don't need the reminder.

Thanks, useful info, so the parking system triggering is pretty common, I would have thought Honda had got a grip of that issue by nowThe parking sensors and the collision detection/ACC don't use the same transducers. The parking sensors are the 4 round ones on the bumper. The ACC/Collision detection is 1) the camera near the rearview mirror, and the millimetre wave radar that is on the bottom right of the bumper (huge plastic plate that says DO NOT PAINT, just below the fog light).
The ice alert triggers when the temperature drops to 3 degrees (or lower)
Getting parking beeps with ice and some times rain is common in the car, I had it happen last winter during "The beast from the East" crisis, annoying as hell. I've never had the collision detection to trigger randomly, and that sounds dangerous if it happens!
