Just got a new 2007 RTL w/Navi this past weekend. I read through all the posts on this board, and noticed three posts (#23, #67, and #78) saying there was no way to program the doors to unlock when shifting into Park. I don't know if this was specific to the 2006 model, but I successfully programmed my doors to unlock w/Park. Procedure is: 1) Make sure transmission is in Park (which it should be if the engine is off) and the driver's door is closed. 2) Turn the key to the "ON" position. 3) Push and hold the rear of the master door lock switch. 4) Second click (after about 5 seconds) sets the driver door only to unlock w/Park. 5) Continue to press and hold. Third click (after about 10 seconds) will set all doors to unlock w/Park. 6) Release the switch. 7) Turn key to "Accessory" position within 5 seconds. All procedures for various lock/unlock scenarios begin on page 84 of the 2007 owner's manual.

Replying to: jbhansen (Jun 06, 2007 8:33 am) When the Ridgeline first came out, the door auto lock and unlock feature did not work the way it currently works. (Doors remainded locked when placed into Park.) There were many complaints about this, and fortunately Honda changed the programming control. They also developed a procedure to change the early models, but it was a somewhat complex change, involving actual wiring changes. I think the current procedure is they auto lock when put into gear, and auto unclock when put into Park. With other variations possible. My dealer specifically as me how I wanted to have this set up when I took delivery. And yes, you can change these options via instructions in the owners manual. |

Replying to: gx4me (May 22, 2007 12:40 pm) I have (well had), and 2006 RTS Sept 05 build. Only issue was the door recall for the plastic clips. Gas mileage was as advertised. I really miss my RTS. After a short year of ownership my sister and husband bought it. (I got deployed to Germany for 2 years). but, I can't wait to return home and in 09 buy RTL with navi.  I pick up 08 Land Rover LR2 - cross your fingers for good luck with this. Drive much like the RL. |

Hi folks, as this seems to be the only active Ridgeline forum may I please ask owners a question? I'm looking into buying a small travel trailer and anticipate towing 4,000 pounds cross country in search of the world's largest ball of twine (after I find the largest frying pan). Anybody out there have any real world gas mileage figures while towing with your Ridgeline? Thank you very much. |

Replying to: 08lr3 (Jun 16, 2007 11:39 pm) I know. I've been warned also. This is their board, and their rules. They pay for this board, it costs us nothing. I abide by their rules now. I will only tell people to 'google' their question, and follow the results to obtain other information areas. Some of the message areas on the board are excellent. Some are weak. Look for the gold among the chaff. And overall, Edmunds is an excellent internet site. And, I am not 'moderating', so I hope the hosts will not delete my post. I'm just giving my opinion, as someone that has been reading the forums for many years. And, has gotten some warnings from the host for my posts. |

I have had my new Ridgeline for 2 months now and am very happy with it overall. My problem is with dust leakage into the interior. I live in a rural area and drive on dusty roads. It seems worse in the backseat area. The dust is layered on the back seat after only a mile or two of gravel road driving. When the A/C is turned on you can smell the dust in the air. I keep the setting on recycle and the fan turned onto high to keep the interior "pressurized". I've heard that that's supposed to help and we do this in all our vehicles as a matter of habit when we turn off the highway. I've owned an Odyssey and currently own a 04 Pilot. I've found that Honda vehicles are prone to dust leakage but nothing as bad as this one. I've contacted my dealer and they're going to have a look when I have time to take it in. In the meantime, I thought I'd see if anyone else had experienced this and whether anyone had succeeded in repairing the problem.

Replying to: zach3 (Aug 12, 2007 5:22 am) Anyway, it looks like one of the few things Honda does not know about is how to keep dust out of a Ridgeline. If your dealer has an opinion and/or a solution, please post it here.

Replying to: bolivar (Aug 12, 2007 11:37 pm) i doubt very much if the A/C system has a pollen filter, that the dust is getting past that. |
