There is a small plastic funnel packed under the trunk floor of the 2026 Honda Civic Sport, and one owner suspects plenty of drivers have never lifted the panel to find it. In a 46 second video, @itsmet123123 walks around a black Civic parked on a gravel driveway and points out that funnel along with two other things that are easy to overlook: a second and third view on the backup camera, and a tiny wheel that dims the dashboard.

The clip opens with the text “3 MORE HIDDEN FEATURES ON THE 2026 HONDA CIVIC” over the front of the car. “Right here are three more features you may not know about in your 2026 Honda Civic Sport,” the creator says. The caption makes the same pitch: “Here’s 3 hidden Civic features you may have missed.”

The first stop is the center screen, under a label that reads “1. MULTI ANGLE REVERSE CAMERA.” “So the first feature is this actually has a multi angle reverse camera,” the creator says. “So when you put it into reverse, the camera pops up and if you look here, you have a ultra wide angle and you have a top down angle.” The screen shows the usual rear view with yellow guide lines, and a finger points to the row of icons along the bottom of the display. The top down view, the creator adds, is the one to use when you are trying not to hit a curb.

Next the camera swings to the driver’s side of the dash, labeled “2. DASH BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT.” “The second feature you may not know about is you can actually adjust the brightness to your dashboard,” the creator says. “On the left side below the air vent, you’ll see this little wheel. You can move it up and down and that adjusts the brightness to your dash.” A thumb rolls a small wheel set just under the honeycomb vent strip to the left of the steering column, and the shot cuts to the gauge cluster to show the result.

The third one takes a walk to the back of the car. “The third feature you may not know about is located in the trunk,” the creator says. “So once we pop open the trunk, we’re gonna lift this to reveal the tire change equipment.” A hand lifts the trunk floor, and underneath is a molded tray holding the jack and tools. “If you look right here, there’s actually a nozzle to put gas in your tank for when you run out.” The creator pulls a pale plastic funnel out of the tray and holds it up as the last label appears: “3. INCLUDES GAS FUNNEL.”

The video ends back at the front of the car with a request to follow “for more Honda Civic content.”

How to Actually Use the Three Things in the Video

None of these is a secret. All three are the kind of thing covered in an owner’s manual. The value of the clip is that it shows where each one physically is, and each one solves a real problem if you know to reach for it.

Start with the camera. If your car offers more than one rear view, try each of them once in an empty lot so you know what you are looking at before you need it. A wide view is the one to use when backing out of a parking space between two taller vehicles, because it shows more of what is coming from either side. A top down view is for the last foot or two, when you want to see how close the bumper is to a curb, a parking block or a garage wall. Wipe the lens when you wash the car, since road film is the most common reason a backup camera looks blurry. No camera view replaces turning your head and checking the mirrors.

The brightness wheel matters most at night. Gauges that are too bright on a dark road make it harder for your eyes to adjust to what is outside the windshield, so turning them down a few clicks can make a long night drive less tiring. It works the other way too. If your gauges suddenly look dim or hard to read in daylight, check that wheel before you assume something has failed.

The funnel is the one most likely to save you a headache. Many newer cars have a capless fuel filler with a spring loaded flap inside the neck. A pump nozzle pushes it open, but the spout on a portable gas can often will not, and fuel ends up down the side of the car. The funnel supplied with the car is shaped to open that flap. If you ever run dry, get the car to a safe spot with the hazard lights on, use an approved gas can, and pour through that funnel.

While the trunk floor is up, take two more minutes. Find out whether your car carries a spare tire or a sealant and inflator kit, because the roadside plan is different for each. If there is a spare, check its pressure, since a spare that has sat for years is often flat when it is finally needed. Locate the jack, the lug wrench and the tow hook, and look up the jacking points in the manual. Doing this once in your own driveway beats learning it on the shoulder in the dark.

One caution applies to all of it. The creator is specific that this is a 2026 Civic Sport. Camera views, dash controls and the contents of the trunk tray can differ by model year and trim, so if your car does not match the video, the owner’s manual or a quick question at the service desk will tell you what yours has.
