Hi everyone. First time posting here. I have a 2022 HRV EX AWD.
I'm handicapped and I'm not able to wash my car myself. I usually use a touchless car wash, but that doesn't always get off the dirt and salt.
What features do I need to turn off before using an automated, conveyor style car wash?

I have a 2020 HR-V LX AWD, so I can’t answer specifically for that car but my 2024 Civic EX has all of the features as your HR-V EX and I have never turned off anything and have had no problems. I would assume that with any car that has automatic windshield wipers would be the only thing to turn off unless it’s a very old car with a power antenna and then you’d need to turn off the radio.

The short answer for your car, nothing that I know.

All of the automatic car wash that I use have a sign that says turn off the wipers, brakes and steering but that’s common sense even though the employee will point at it every time. Does the HR-V even have automatic wipers? I know that our Civic EX does not.
