I just bought my 2013 Honda Accord LX about 2 weeks ago. To the right of the gear shift, I see a small opening and I do not know what its purpose is. Can someone tell me? Also, is it supposed to have a small cap on it to cover it?

 

You're missing the cap, but if you insert your key it will let you freely move the shifter into Neutral or whatnot to tow it.

*edit* It will let you move the shifter while the car isn't turned on

 

OK, thanks for your reply.

 

I got one today at a local Honda dealer.
