A HONDA expert has revealed a handy trick to bring up two incredibly helpful hidden menus in a Honda CR-V.
If you own a 2017-2022 Honda CR-V, this is for you.
Crazy Honda Chris, a YouTuber who uses his channel (@CrazyHondaChris) to publish free and helpful tips for Honda owners from Randy Kuehl Honda in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, uploaded a video last year to show viewers how to access two hidden menus.
From the driver's seat, he tells his viewers that the car is running, though the menus can be accessed while the car is in auxiliary mode, too.
Before accessing the menu, he issues a word of warning.

"Before going crazy in here, I do want you guys to be careful about changing too many things in here," he said.
Then he pressed the dark/light mode setting, which is represented by a sun and a crescent moon icon, the phone button, and the volume knob.
After holding the three buttons down for about three seconds, two options crop up: Self Diagnostics Mode, and Detail Information & Settings.
The first diagnostics menu instructs people to access the settings while the vehicle is stopped with the engine running so the sensors can properly diagnose certain features.
The second menu is to confirm specific diagnostic screens.
Both menus are designed for Honda or Acura technicians to help diagnose customer problems with various sensor data, or to test the speakers.
Another menu is hidden within the second menu, however.
After selecting the second menu, Chris holds down the phone and display button for two seconds and reveals another vehicle setting menu.
From there, drivers can alter fan settings, volume settings, vehicle model information, version detail information, output logs, bitmap displays, and adjust the display.
"And there's your other menu right there," he said.
