Default ridgeline secrets....

not really secrets....just cool


The middle seat in the back has a secret hiding headrest. Pull up on it and you have a headrest for the rear seat middle passenger

The very top of the armrest (the soft part) slides forward

Press and hold the unlock button a second time on the keyfob and all door windows will open.

Twist the key in the door lock a second time in the same direction and hold and the windows will open or close!

After turning off the ignition key, the windows will still run up or down for a few minutes or until you open the door.

there is a pen clip and business card holder built into the lid of the center console.

The AM/FM antenna is built into the roof part that extends beyond the back window

The "bumps" or "ridges" on the side view mirrors is to reduce wind noise.

The optional bed cargo net can be folded in half and mounted vertically against the back of the cabin to hold smaller items.

The spare wheel can be mounted on the inside of the bed - handly if you know in advance you're going to be loaded up and don't want to risk having to unload if you have a flat.

Hit one of the windows with your arm as it's going up, it'll reverse and go back down

wind shield wipers slow down when you come to a stop and speed up again when you accelerate

Would either use frequently or appreciate, the above.

Ehhh, maybe not so much. But would be thankful that I at least could.

Good stuff!

Cool.

I knew about everything except for the spare tire mounting inside the bed. I'm going to check that out at Lunchtime.

Some people don't know the headlights are auto-off also. Leave them on (ignore the dinging or beeping) and lock the vehicle with the keyless. They will turn off in a few seconds. I leave them on all the time.

Also, on some models, lower portion of windshield is heated to prevent blades from freezing/sticking in frigid conditions.

Climate control/AC is dependant on GPS/Sun position.. will turn up cool air output if sun is shining more so on one side as opposed to the other.

Theres a bunch of others but its been so long since I took the test I forgot a lot of them

Cool thread
