I hardly ever drive the XLT since it's my wife's. But with her brother in for the holiday, I've driven it more than I have to date. And I've come up with these questions--
1. Am I missing something or is the rear wiper blade about 1/2 as long as it should be to clean enough of the rear window to actually see what's going on. It almost looks like a stub that 'should' automatically lengthen when activated?
2. Connie complained a few days ago that she had opened the rear cargo hatch/door and while standing under it putting stuff in the cargo area, the hatch/door came down on its own and almost clocked her head. Yesterday, dropping Phil off at the airport, I was standing under the hatch door after removing his suitcase when the damn thing started coming down on me--twice!?
3. This one I could look up in the manual but it's equal venting and learning ;-). In my vehicle, Honda Ridgeline Black 2018, there's a button on the console next to the shifter for road conditions. Push the button and the screen displays ~5 road conditions: sand, snow, etc. Since the RL is AWD, that's all I need to do. But yesterday in the XLT I gave up on the circular 2WD/4WD/Road Condition selector as being completely non-intuitive (for me at least). I turned the thing and cycled through all the screen options and there was NO snow? That cannot be, it has to be an optional road condition setting?
If I were to push down on the 2W or 4W buttons, top L and R of the wheel, I guess that's the manual override to 2 or 4 wheel drive and the road setting would automatically be Normal.
If you put the vehicle in 4WD either by inference via a road condition setting or manually, then you would have to manually put the XLT in 2WD once the road cleared. I had left the XLT in 4WD and was surprised to feel no tire tension when turning on a dry road as we had with our 2000 Silverado and Suburban so something's sure different with now 4WD vs then....?
