I had to tow one of these today. The driver put a hole in the oil pan so starting it was not an option. He called another towing company who didn’t use KZbin to find information on this sort of thing and wanted to drag it on his truck. The owner was not in favor of this idea so he called me. After learning where the ShiftLock release was I looked like a super hero! Awesome video!

[@kno1self539]

Another tip: If you have the transmission in any gear outside of "park" and turn the car off, the transmission will shift to park automatically. To activate automatic parking brake, pull up once on the parking brake then pull up and hold. It should beep. Now when you turn the car off the parking brake will activate automatically.

[@Luma_29]

Wait that’s so useful

[@nikonmark37814]

Appreciate the tips. I purchased a 2019 Insight EX less than six weeks ago and love it. At first I didn't like the push button operation but now that I'm used to it I love it, without the shift knob I have much more room.

I would rather have a good old fashioned gear shift lever. Nothing like placing your hand on it while driving.

[@ATayea]

Steven W we got a rod-holding lover over here!

[@blok809]

Couldn’t have said it any better! While placing your hand over the shift lever lean your body a little for that gangsta look hahaha. I dislike the push button selector but I guess we’ll have to get used to it other manufacturers are doing the same. The shift knob will soon be a thing of the past unless you get a manual, well they may even figure something out to get rid of the knob on manuals too, but that might be overly exaggerated for me to say hahaha.

[@jeffjo8732]

The hybrid Accord and CR-V have the button shifter as well. With an added bonus: since it uses the electric motor at low speeds, you *can* shift between R and D while moving. Great for 3-point (or 5-, or 7-) turns.

[@zephier88]

It goes into neutral if shifting from Drive to Reverse while driving.

[@jeffjo8732]

@@zephier88 It does that if your speed is above 5 mph.

[@GeorgeKnighton]

I own one of the first push button transmissions, the 7 DCT in the 2014 model year KC2 ("RLX Sport Hybrid" or 5G Legend). Something that I like very much about the design is that it does not take long at all for the driver to be able to operate every function without having to look at it. On my car, the Sport button has Braille on it that makes it easy to hit the button without looking at it.

[@madamemeng884]

The first push button transmission that I heard of was the Chrysler Torqueflite that came out in the 50's. It had buttons on the dash and only lasted for a few years. As a teenager I thought it was a cool idea.

[@4sumcrazyshit]

@George how was your 2014 push button shift car? Is it still running? Or had any issues.

[@GeorgeKnighton]

@@4sumcrazyshit : There were no problems at all with the transmission or the way it operated. Totally reliable and I'm sure it was an important part of car's overall economy. Unfortunately, this car was totalled by a woman in a Civic, who made an illegal turn and scraped the whole right side of the car. Although the car was drivable and to the eye entirely repairable, all that aluminium made it impossible. :-(

[@leodelgado208]

Very interesting information. Thanks!

[@amyhoang9140]

Nice. I am looking for the push button shift (or even the with the stick) up by the steering wheel in Honda CRV's. I like the older model in 2001 Honda CRV which is a lot shorter than the new models, making it a lot easier to find parking space. Also the 2001 CRV has huge space in the middle because there is gear shift (it's behind the steering wheel instead) and the tray for cup holder between passenger and driver can be folded. The storage space in the back of the 2001 Honda CRV's are also more convenient with compartments on each side where you can stick a bottle or a brush in and it will hold. I am so disappointed this push button shift is only available in luxury cars nowadays. I can't wait for Honda will go back to the 2001 interior design for the its CRV's.

At least it seems the colors do not change from Red to Green or such. I see I will have to avoid stopping at a train crossing, the engine stops and here comes a train!

[@Erdie5]

One additional thing. In our '20 Odyssey, going from neutral to drive, it will tell you to "apply the brake to shift back into drive." Very annoying in a car wash that pulls you through, especially when the next car is right behind you. However, I have found that if you just press D a few times quickly, it will give up on its pointless demand and shift into Drive. This is a terrible "feature" that I hope is removed via software update. I have reported it to Honda, please do the same!

[@violetpup4272]

Thank You!!! I am going to have to try this. We don’t have car washes that you get out of, they pull you through but no one can tell me what I am supposed to do if I stay IN the car and the car wash says don’t break.

[@subinrupakheti9228]

You don’t need to fully press the brake, just touch it a little so that your car doesn’t come to a complete stop and you can shift to drive. I do the same all the time

[@solutionsagent]

Informative video Brian, thank you. What happens if you are driving without a seatbelt on and open the door? And one more, is it true that the Push Button Shift is only available on the 2.0? The Honda website shows interior images of all 3 engines (1.5, 2.0, Hybrid) for Touring as Push Button, and all 3 engines for EX-L as standard shifter.

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

The car will only shift into park when you are below a certain speed. I'm not sure what that speed is exactly, but its somewhere under 10MPH. So if you open the door without your seatbelt on, nothing will happen. However, you should always be wearing your seatbelt. Only the 2.0T models have the push button shift and 10speed transmission. They go together. The 1.5T models have a shift lever and CVT transmission. Thanks for watching!!

[@variety_dragon7509]

Can you make the push shifter make some kind of noise to notify that it’s been pressed? That’s the only thing that bothers me about it. When I test drove it. The buttons made no noise. Making me second guess myself each time if the button had actually been pressed. And in the bright AZ sun it’s difficult to see if the buttons are illuminated. I didn’t even know they lit up until this video.

[@southernknight9983]

How do you handle the paddle shifters if you accidently hit one and the engine revs really high. Is there a fast way to disengage them, while in the middle of a turn?? I've never used the paddle shifters and this happened to me. Once I slowed and was out of the turn, I pressed the D button twice and things finally fell back into place, but I was completely guessing on how to return to a normal gear for the speed I was going. Could have over revved my engine and don't want to experience that again.

[@kellyrackham1266]

I love the push button. It takes up less room but in my old car I use to hang my lanyard with my keys on it. I can’t do that now.

[@miLLkY32]

Hi Brian so my 2.0 sport does not have that slot for the key. So I would have to do it manually. My question is where did you get this picture I need to bring that to the dealership cuz they can't figure out how to put in neutral cuz my car don't start. Bad fuel pump recall thing.

[@emilyberg4395]

I have a 2019 odyssey that I just purchased. When I reverse out of my driveway and switch into drive it takes a couple seconds before my car will go. Is that a thing with these push buttons? Thanks!

[@judyde]

I have a 2020 Odyssey and I have a question I can't find the answer to in the manual anywhere. (1) if I hit D a 2nd time it switches to S and I think this is downshifting to a lower gear. This is in the manual but it's very vague about what S mode actually is. (2) there are + and - tabs on the steering wheel. These seem to be manual gear shifts. I'm not sure exactly how they work. I tested a bit but if you go into a higher gear they don't stay in that gear. I am headed to Mount Washington and it's advised to go down in a lower gear to not burn out your brakes. So do I use S mode or the +/- tabs to downshift?

Thank you for the information on disengaging the transmission under the hood.

They ended up having to drag my car up using skids onto the tow truck. It was really distressing considering my car was brand new.

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

Sorry to hear you had an issue with your new Honda. Shifting the transmission without the engine running with the 9AT or 10AT transmissions is a hassle, and the info on how to do it was not easy to find. Fortunately its not something that will need to be done often, or ever by most people. I know that doesn't mean much since you found yourself in that situation though.

Thank you so much. I have an unrelated question. According to the manual, I should be able to turn down the navigation voice easily but my Honda accord touring model (2018) does not work the way the manual says it should. There is no volume control under settings. Can you help?

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

You can only adjust the Navi volume while the navigation system is speaking to you. Plug in a destination, and when it starts to read the directions to you just turn the volume down with either the steering wheel controls or the volume knob. That is also the same way to adjust the phone call volume.

[@geowt137]

So I cannot actually MUTE the voice as it says I can in the manual?

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

You should be able to mute or turn the volume all the way down with the volume knob or steering wheel volume controls. You have to adjust it while the navigation is speaking though.

What if you are sitting in your car (going through a conveyor-style car wash) and it's in neutral while going through and then at the end, you are supposed to put it in drive but can't without hitting the brake? But when you hit the brake, the thing under you hits something and makes a noise? Is there a way to put it in drive from neutral without hitting the brake? (2018 Honda Pilot)

[@chrisrobles2012]

Lightly tap the brake to put it into drive. Just did this with my 2022 MDX. It gave me the warning that I can’t shift to drive. I was at the end and just barely pressed it where the brake lights came on and it went to drive successfully. If I pushed the brake fully I probably would have gotten a tire screech from the car wash rollers.

[@kaygeeboi]

I don’t think I’m ready for this technology yet, so many variables and always had bad luck with modern car buttons. Like on my Civic the button for the driver went busted and couldn’t lower my window anymore. Or the the time the emergency parking light button jammed to always having it on and couldn’t turn it off until I use a knife to pop it out. Dealership charged me to fix that. Like I said too many variables, and having that technology as a shifter is very risky... my opinion tho, I rather get the CVT than the 2.0T just for the fact.

So, let's say I want to use one of my local car washes where I sit in the car and it moves me forward via rollers behind the tires. I have to be in Neutral and at the end of the car wash I have to shift back to Drive to exit. Since I cannot simply pull down on a lever to Drive, I have to put my foot on the brake which stops the car and causes the roller behind the car to attempt to push the car forward and passes under the tire / wheel - What do I do? - simply no longer use a car wash?

[@csh000]

I put my Odyssey in drive after the roller has pushed me off the track. The car wash has a red light/green light that turns green when the roller has pushed me away. Than I tap the brakes, shift into drive, and away we go. I've never had a problem as you have described because I didn't use the brakes while the roller is pushing the vehicle.

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

You can still push the "N" to put the car into neutral while driving. Also, if you pull up on the emergency brake and hold it (keep it pulled up) it will apply the emergency brakes. I would avoid doing that unless you are going slow and its absolutely necessary though. If you just pull and release the emergency brake it will not do anything. Good luck with the driving lessons!!

As if the push start wasn’t enough, now they’ve taken out PRNDL. If the car were to break down and you and whoever you gathered up had to push it, you wouldn’t be able to. Locating that nob in an emergency situation would be impossible without roadside assistance.

As far as I can tell from reading owner's manuals you need to use a cloth-wrapped screwdriver to pop off the cover to stick your key in to diddle the shift-lock too. Guess what?
