On the steering wheel just behind the control buttons, there are 2 holes on each side of the wheel, what the heck are they for and why didn’t Honda make a plug for them. I keep putting my fingers in them and it driving me crazy.

 

[DraEagWol]

Don't know... but are you putting your fingers in the holes accidentally because of the way you hold / grip the wheel or are you just fidgety and your fingers "wander" into the holes? I've not noticed them ... so I'll have to go investigate em now! LOL

 

[chefmark]

LOL, A am a little OCD. It's more that the wholes are there and I can not guess why

Are they for access to screws?

(I too am at work and can't check my steering wheel right now.)

 

[CrosstourJed]

I've never had that problem?

Chef, they are there for over curious people. Have your wife get a big fly swatter and just smack you every time you fidget. Or try nicotene gum. LOL.

 

[chefmark]

Yes, I will see a Physiatrist for my OCD but. does anyone know what they are for.

 

[Xaque]

Okay, I finally remembered to look into the little holes...

They are access holes to get to a couple bolts (I presume to service the steering wheel / Airbag).

Now stop putting your fingers where you can't see them! Didn't your shop teacher tell you anything!?

 

[chefmark]

OK, just got back from a 1200 mile trip and only put my fingers in the holes once. I am feeling so much better, thanx for all your support

Oh yea, 27.2 MPG overall

 

[DraEagWol]

what was your average speed to get that mpg?

 

[chefmark]

what was your average speed to get that mpg?

CC set to about 80, average speed at fill up was 67. Slight head wind for half trip while heading West. Turned South and got a 10 mph tail wind. LOVE that tail wind

 

[DraEagWol]

That is amazing gas mileage at that speed, and with a head wind. Though how was your avg speed 67 with your cc set at 80? alot of traffic? I recently did a 1400 mile trip, cc set at 75 and only got 23-24 mpg no matter if I got a head wind or not... *sigh*... always wish for a tail wind... fair weather and following winds.. !

 

[chefmark]

Yea, I tail wind is a blessing(unless I am the cause of the tail wind) I wil be heading that way again, I'll see what she does this time

 

[melgottlieb]

darn those holes

Yea, I tail wind is a blessing(unless I am the cause of the tail wind) I wil be heading that way again, I'll see what she does this time

sorry i ever read about them -- now i also stick my ffingers in--

re milage-- my ct gives me 26-27 on a long trip with cruise set at 75-78-- and dont need a tailwind!

 

[DraEagWol]

Chef & Melgottlieb, you two must have some of the better programmed cars to be getting that good of gas mileage at that high of cruise speeds. Good for you! Bad for the rest of us only getting bout 24mpg. I'm jealous.

Love this topic!

I have to laugh! Last week I bought both a 2010 Crosstour EXL with Nav and a 2011 Odyssey exl-res. After reading this I was in the CT and found the holes! Couldn't keep my fingers out! Now I just drove my wife's Ody and the same holes are there as well! Damn!! HA!!

I think we need to start a CT fingers in the holes on the wheel cult, Chefmark can be the Grand Poobah or something.
