Important Safety Precautions
You’ll find many safety recommendations throughout this section, and throughout this manual.
The recommendations on this page are the ones we consider to be the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts, and wear them properly (see page 15 ).
Restrain All Children
Children age 12 and under should ride properly restrained in a back seat. Infants and small children should be restrained in a child seat.
Larger children should use a booster and a lap/shoulder belt until they can use the belt properly without a booster (see page 29 − 46 ).
Be Aware of Airbag Hazards
While airbags can save lives, they can cause serious or fatal injuries to occupants who sit too close to them, or are not properly restrained.
Infants, young children, and short adults are at the greatest risk. Be sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual.
Don’t Drink and Drive
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and drive, and don’t let your friends drink and drive, either.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle in Saf e
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous. To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance (see page 131 ).

Your vehicle is equipped with many features that work together to protect you and your passengers during a crash.
Some features do not require any action on your part. These include a strong steel framework that forms a safety cage around the passenger compartment; front and rear crush zones; a collapsible steering column; and tensioners that tighten the front seat belts in a crash.
However, you and your passengers can’t take full advantage of these features unless you remain sitting in a proper position and always wear your seat belts . In fact, some safety features can contribute to injuries if they are not used properly.
The following pages explain how you can take an active role in protecting yourself and your passengers.

０４／０７／１６ １２：５７：５７ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００１３
Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
Seat Belts
Your vehicle is equipped with seat belts in all seating positions.
Your seat belt system also includes an indicator on the instrument panel to remind you and your passengers to fasten your seat belts.
Why Wear Seat Belts
Seat belts are the single most effective safety device for adults and larger children. (Infants and smaller children must be properly restrained in child seats.)
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
In addition, most states and all
Canadian provinces require you to wear seat belts.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them properly.
When properly worn, seat belts:
Keep you connected to the vehicle so you can take advantage of the vehicle’s built-in safety features.
Help protect you in almost every type of crash, including frontal, side, and rear impacts and rollovers.
Help keep you from being thrown against the inside of the vehicle and against other occupants.
Keep you from being thrown out of the vehicle.
Help keep you in a good position should the airbags ever deploy. A good position reduces the risk of injury from an inflating airbag and allows you to get the best advantage from the airbag.
Of course, seat belts cannot completely protect you in every crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your risk of serious injury.
What You Should Do:
Always wear your seat belt, and make sure you wear it properly.

０４／０７／１６ １２：５８：０９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００１４
Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
Airbags
Your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with front airbags to help protect the heads and chests of the driver and a front seat passenger during a moderate to severe frontal collision (see page
23 for more information on how your front airbags work).
Only on models equipped with side airbags
Your vehicle also has side airbags to help protect the upper torso of the driver or a front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact (see page 26 for more information on how your side airbags work).
The most important things you need to know about your airbags are:
Airbags do not replace seat belts.
They are designed to supplement the seat belts.
Airbags of f er no protection in rear impacts, or minor f rontal or side collisions.
Airbags can pose hazards.
To do their job, airbags must inflate with tremendous force. So while airbags help save lives, they can cause minor injuries or more serious or even fatal injuries if occupants are not properly restrained or sitting properly.
What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle.
A front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possible.

０４／０７／１６ １２：５８：２３ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００１５
Protecting Adults and Teens
The rest of this section gives more detailed information about how you can maximize your safety.
Remember however, that no safety system can prevent all injures or deaths that can occur in a severe crash, even where seat belts are properly worn and the airbags deploy.
Introduction
The following pages provide instructions on how to properly protect the driver, adult passengers and teenage children who are large enough and mature enough to ride in the front seat.
See page 30 for important guidelines on how to properly protect infants, small children, and larger children who ride in your vehicle.
1.
Close and Lock the Doors
After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure the doors are closed and locked.
Locking the doors reduces the chance of someone being thrown out of the vehicle during a crash and it helps prevent passenger from accidentally opening a door and falling out.
Locking the doors also helps prevent an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door when you come to a stop.
See page 67 for how to lock the doors.
2.
Adjust the Front Seats
Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the rear as possible while allowing you to maintain control of the vehicle. Have a front passenger adjust their seat as far to the rear as possible.
If you sit too close to the steering wheel or dashboard, you can be seriously injured by an inflating front airbag, or by striking the steering wheel or dashboard.
12
０４／０７／１６ １２：５８：２９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００１６
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
If you cannot get far enough away from the steering wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend that you investigate whether some type of adaptive equipment may help.
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the front airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible.
Protecting Adults and Teens
Once your seat is adjusted correctly, rock it back and forth to make sure the seat is locked in position.
See page 71 front seats.

Protecting Adults and Teens
3.
Adjust the Seat-Backs Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the occupant’s chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat.
See page 71 seat-backs.
for how to adjust the
Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable, upright position, leaving ample space between your chest and the airbag cover in the center of the steering wheel.
Passengers with adjustable seatbacks should also adjust their seatback to a comfortable, upright position.
14
０４／０７／１６ １２：５８：４６ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００１８
Protecting Adults and Teens
4.
Adjust the Head Restraints
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and you can be seriously injured in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving.
Have passengers with adjustable head restraints adjust their restraint so the back of their head rests against the center of the restraint.
Taller persons should adjust their restraint as high as possible.
Properly adjusted head restraints will help protect occupants from whiplash and other crash injuries.
See page 72 for how to adjust the head restraints.
5.
Fasten and Position the Seat
Belts
Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the belt is securely latched. Check that the belt is not twisted, because a twisted belt can cause serious injuries in a crash.
15
０４／０７／１６ １２：５８：５４ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００１９
Protecting Adults and Teens
RELEASE
BUTTON
Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death in a crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
Position the lap part of the belt as low as possible across your hips, then pull up on the shoulder part of the belt so the lap part fits snugly.
This lets your strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash and reduces the chance of internal injuries.
If necessary, pull up on the belt again to remove any slack, then check that the belt rests across the center of your chest and over your shoulder.
This spreads the forces of a crash over the strongest bones in your upper body.
If the seat belt touches or crosses your neck, or if it crosses your arm instead of your shoulder, you need to adjust the seat belt anchor height.
The front seats have adjustable seat belt anchors. To adjust the height of an anchor, press and hold the release buttons and slide the anchor up or down as needed (it has four positions).
16
０４／０７／１６ １２：５９：０２ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００２０
Protecting Adults and Teens
Never place the shoulder portion of a lap/shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back.
This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
If a seat belt does not seem to work properly, it may not protect the occupant in a crash.
No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt.
Using a seat belt that is not working properly can result in serious injury or death.
Have your dealer check the belt as soon as possible.
See page 20 for additional information about your seat belts and how to take care of them.
6.
Maintain a Proper Sitting
Position
After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is parked and the engine is off.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly increased.
17
０４／０７／１６ １２：５９：１０ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００２１
Protecting Adults and Teens
In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an inflating front airbag.
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.
Advice f or Pregnant Women
If you are pregnant, the best way to protect yourself and your unborn child when driving or riding in a vehicle is to always wear a seat belt, and keep the lap part of the belt as low as possible across the hips.
When driving, remember to sit upright and adjust the seat as far back as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. When riding as a front passenger, adjust the seat as far back as possible.
This will reduce the risk of injuries to both you and your unborn child that can be caused by a crash or an inflating front airbag.
Each time you have a checkup, ask your doctor if it’s okay for you to drive.
18
０４／０７／１６ １２：５９：１９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００２２
Protecting Adults and Teens
Additional Saf ety Precautions
Two people should never use the same seat belt.
If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash.
Do not put any accessories on seat belts.
Devices intended to improve occupant comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability of the belt and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
Never let passengers ride in the cargo area or on top of a f oldeddown back seat.
All passengers must sit in locked, upright seats and be properly restrained by seat belts.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a f ront airbag.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp object in your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the f ront airbag covers.
Objects on the covers marked ‘‘SRS AIRBAG’’ could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
On models with side airbags, do not attach hard objects on or near a f ront door.
If a side airbag inflates, a cup holder or other hard object attached on or near the door could be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone.
Keep your hands and arms away f rom the airbag covers.
If your hands or arms are close to an airbag cover, they could be injured if the airbag inflates.
19
０４／０７／１６ １２：５９：３０ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００２３
Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
Seat Belt System Components
Your seat belt system includes lap/ shoulder belts in all five seating positions. The front seat belts are also equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners.
The seat belt system includes an indicator on the instrument panel and a beeper to remind you and your passengers to fasten your seat belts.
If you turn the ignition switch to ON
(II) before fastening your belt, the beeper sounds and the indicator flashes. If you do not fasten your seat belt before the beeper stops, the indicator stops flashing but remains on.
If you continue driving without fastening your seat belt, the beeper will sound and the indicator will flash again at regular intervals.
Lap/Shoulder Belt
The lap/shoulder belt goes over your shoulder, across your chest, and across your hips.
To fasten the belt, insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is latched (see page 15 for how to properly position the belt).
To unlock the belt, push the red
PRESS button on the buckle. Guide the belt across your body so that it retracts completely. After exiting the vehicle, be sure the belt is out of the way and will not get closed in the door.
All seat belts have an emergency locking retractor. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely in your seat while it keeps some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor automatically locks the belt to help restrain your body.
The seat belts in all positions except the driver’s have an additional locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat (see page 40 ).
If the shoulder part of the belt is pulled all the way out, the locking mechanism will activate. The belt will retract, but it will not allow the passenger to move freely.
20
０４／０７／１６ １２：５９：３９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００２４
Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
To deactivate the locking mechanism, unlatch the buckle and let the seat belt fully retract. To refasten the seat belt, pull it out only as far as needed.
Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
For added protection, the front seat belts are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. When activated, the tensioners immediately tighten the belts to help hold the driver and a front passenger in place.
The tensioners are designed to activate primarily in frontal collisions, and they should activate in any collision severe enough to cause front-airbag inflation.
The tensioners can also be activated during a collision in which the front airbags do not deploy. In this case, the airbags would not be needed, but the additional restraint could be helpful.
When the tensioners are activated, the seat belts will remain tight until they are unbuckled in the normal manner.
21
０４／０７／１６ １２：５９：４８ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００２５
Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
Seat Belt Maintenance
For safety, you should check the condition of your seat belts regularly.
Pull each belt out fully and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily. Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide good protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
Honda provides a lifetime warranty on seat belts for U.S. models. See your Honda Warranty Information booklet for details.
If a seat belt is worn during a crash, it must be replaced by the dealer. A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of protection in a subsequent crash.
The dealer should also inspect the anchors for damage and replace them if needed. If the automatic seat belt tensioners activate during a crash, they must be replaced.
For information on how to clean your seat belts, see page 153 .
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or death if the seat belts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon as possible.

０４／０７／１６ １２：５９：５９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００２６
Additional Information About Your Airbags
Airbag System Components
Your Airbag System includes:
Two SRS (Supplemental Restraint
System) front airbags. The driver’s airbag is stored in the center of the steering wheel; the front passenger’s airbag is stored in the dashboard. Both are marked ‘‘SRS
AIRBAG.’’
In models with side airbags, one for the driver and one for a front passenger. The airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seatbacks. Both are marked ‘‘SIDE
AIRBAG’’ (see page 26 ).
Automatic seat belt tensioners
(see page 21 ).
Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe front impact, or side impact in models with side airbags.
In models with side airbags, sensors that can detect whether a child is in the passenger’s side airbag path and automatically turn the airbag off (see page 27 ).
A sophisticated electronic system that continually monitors and records information about the sensors, the control unit, the airbag activators, the seat belt tensioners, and driver and front passenger seat belt use when the ignition is in the ON (II) position.
An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem with your airbags, sensors, or seat belt tensioners
(see page 27 ).
In models with side airbags, an indicator on the dashboard that alerts you that the passenger’s side airbag has been turned off
(see page 27 ).
Emergency backup power in case your vehicle’s electrical system is disconnected in a crash.

Additional Information About Your Airbags
How Your Front Airbags Work
If you ever have a moderate to severe frontal collision, sensors will detect the vehicle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of deceleration is high enough, the control unit will instantly inflate the driver’s and front passenger’s front airbags, at the time and with the force needed.
During a frontal crash, your seat belt restrains your lower body and torso, and the airbag helps protect your head and chest.
Although both airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy.
This can happen if the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
After inflating, the front airbags will immediately deflate, so they won’t interfere with the driver’s visibility, or the ability to steer or operate other controls.
24
０４／０７／１６ １３：００：２０ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００２８
Additional Information About Your Airbags
The total time for inflation and deflation is one-tenth of a second, so fast that most occupants are not aware that the airbags deployed until they see them lying in their laps.
After a crash, you may see what looks like smoke. This is actually powder from the airbag’s surface.
Although the powder is not harmful, people with respiratory problems may experience some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Dual-Stage Airbags
Your front airbags are dual-stage airbags. This means they have two inflation stages that can be ignited sequentially or simultaneously, depending on crash severity.
In a more severe crash, both stages will ignite simultaneously to provide the quickest and greatest protection.
In a less severe crash, one stage will ignite first, then the second stage will ignite a split second later. This provides longer airbag inflation time with a little less force.
Dual-Threshold Airbags
Your front airbags are also dualthreshold airbags. Airbags with this feature have two deployment thresholds that depend on whether or not the occupant is wearing a seat belt.
It the occupant belt is not latched , the airbag will deploy at a slightly lower threshold, because the occupant would need extra protection.
It the occupant’s belt is latched , the airbag will deploy at a slightly higher threshold, when the airbag would be needed to supplement the protection provided by the seat belt.

(On models equipped)
If you ever have a moderate to severe side impact, sensors will detect rapid deceleration and signal the control unit to instantly inflate either the driver’s or the passenger’s side airbag.
Only one airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the passenger’s side airbag will deploy even if there
26 is no passenger.
Side Airbag Cutof f System
To reduce the risk of injury from an inflating side airbag, your vehicle has an automatic cutoff system for the passenger’s side airbag.
Although Honda does not encourage children to ride in front, this system is designed to shut off the side airbag if a child leans into the side airbag’s path.
The side airbag may also shut off if a short adult leans sideways, or a larger adult slouches and leans sideways into the airbag’s deployment path.
Objects placed on the front passenger seat can also cause the side airbag to be shut off.
If the Side Airbag Off Indicator comes on (see page 27 ), have the passenger sit upright. Once the passenger is out of the airbag’s deployment path, the system will turn the airbag back on, and the indicator will go out.
There will be some delay between the moment the passenger moves into or out of the airbag deployment path and when the indicator comes on or goes off.
A front seat passenger should not use a cushion or other object as a backrest. It may prevent the cutoff system from working properly.

Additional Information About Your Airbags
How the SRS Indicator Works
The SRS indicator alerts you to a potential problem with your airbags or seat belt tensioners (see page 52 ).
When you turn the ignition to ON
(II), this indicator will come on briefly then go out. This tells you the system is working properly.
If the indicator comes on at any other time, or does not come on at all, you should have the system checked by your dealer. For example:
If the SRS indicator does not come on after you turn the ignition to
ON (II).
If the indicator stays on after the engine starts.
If the indicator comes on or flashes on and off while you drive.
Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS indicator alerts you to a possible problem.
If you see any of these indications, the airbags and seat belt tensioners may not work properly when you need them.
How the Side Airbag Of f
Indicator Works
In models with side airbags
This indicator alerts you that the passenger’s side airbag has been automatically shut off. It does not mean there is a problem with your side airbags.
When you turn the ignition to ON
(II), the indicator should light briefly and go out (see page 52 ). If it doesn’t light, it stays on or comes on while driving without a passenger in the front seat, have the system checked.

Additional Information About Your Airbags
Airbag Service
Your airbag systems are virtually maintenance free, and there are no parts you can safely service.
However, you must have your vehicle serviced if:
An airbag ever inf lates.
Any airbag that has deployed must be replaced along with the control unit and other related parts. If a front airbag inflates, the seat belt tensioners must also be replaced.
Do not try to remove or replace any airbag by yourself. This must be done by a Honda dealer or a knowledgeable body shop.
The SRS indicator alerts you to a problem.
Take your vehicle to an authorized your dealer as soon as possible. If you ignore this indication, your airbags may not operate properly.
Additional Saf ety Precautions
Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags.
Together, airbags and seat belts provide the best protection.
Do not tamper with airbag components or wiring f or any reason.
Tampering could cause the airbags to deploy, possibly causing very serious injury.
28
Models with side airbags:
Do not cover or replace f ront seatback covers without consulting your dealer.
Improperly replacing or covering front seat-back covers can prevent your side airbags from inflating during a side impact.

General Guidelines
Children depend on adults to protect them. However, despite their best intentions many adults do not know how to properly protect child passengers.
If you have children, or ever need to drive with a child in your vehicle, be sure to read this section. It begins with important general guidelines, then presents special information for infants, small children, and larger children.
All Children Must Be Restrained
Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle accidents are the number one cause of the death of children ages 12 and under.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state and
Canadian province requires that infants and children be properly restrained when they ride in a vehicle.
Inf ants and small children must be restrained in an approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle (see pages 34 − 35 ).
Children who are unrestrained or improperly restrained can be seriously injured or killed in a crash.
Any child too small for a seat belt should be properly restrained in a child seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt and use a booster seat if necessary.
Larger children must be restrained with a lap/shoulder belt and ride on a booster seat until the seat belt f its them properly (see pages 44 − 46 ).

General Guidelines
All Children Should Sit in the
Back Seat
According to accident statistics, children of all ages and sizes are safer when they are restrained in a back seat.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children age 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat. Some states have lows restricting where children may ride.
Children who ride in back are less likely to be injured by striking interior vehicle parts during a collision or hard braking. Also, children cannot be injured by an inflating front airbag when they ride in the back.
The Passenger’s Front Airbag
Poses Serious Risks
Front airbags have been designed to help protect adults in a moderate to severe frontal collision. To do this the passenger’s front airbag is quite large, and it can inflate with enough force to cause very serious injuries.
Inf ants
Never put a rear-f acing child seat in the f ront seat of a vehicle equipped with a passenger’s f ront airbag.
If the airbag inflates, it can hit the back of the child seat with enough force to kill or very seriously injure an infant.
Small Children
Placing a f orward-f acing child seat in the f ront seat of a vehicle equipped with passenger’s f ront airbag can be hazardous.
If the vehicle seat is too far forward, or the child’s head is thrown forward during a collision, an inflating front airbag can strike the child with enough force to kill or very seriously injure a small child.
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child seats are also at risk of being injured or killed by an inf lating passenger’s f ront airbag.
Whenever possible, larger children should sit in the back seat, on a booster seat if needed, and be properly restrained with a seat belt (see page 44 for important information about protecting larger children).
30
０４／０７／１６ １３：０１：２９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００３４
To remind you of the passenger’s front airbag hazards, and that children must be properly restrained in a back seat, your vehicle has warning labels on the dashboard
(U.S. models) and on the front visors.
Please read and follow the instructions on these labels.

General Guidelines
If You Must Drive with Several
Children
Your vehicle has a back seat where children can be properly restrained.
If you ever have to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front:
Place the largest child in the front seat, provided the child is large enough to wear the lap/shoulder belt properly (see page 43 ).
Move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible (see page 12 ).
Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat (see page 30 ).
Make sure the seat belt is properly positioned and secured (see pages
15 and 44 ).
If a Child Requires Close
Attention
Many parents say they prefer to put an infant or small child in the front passenger seat so they can watch the child, or because the child requires attention.
Placing a child in the front seat exposes the child to hazards in a frontal collision, and paying close attention to a child distracts the driver from the important tasks of driving, placing both of you at risk.
If a child requires close physical attention or frequent visual contact, we strongly recommend that another adult ride with the child in the back seat. The back seat is far safer for a child than the front.

General Guidelines
Additional Saf ety Precautions
Never hold an inf ant or child on your lap.
If you are not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could be thrown forward and crush the child against the dashboard or a seat-back. If you are wearing a seat belt the child can be torn from your arms and be seriously hurt or killed.
Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child.
During a crash, the belt could press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
Never let two children use the same seat belt.
If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash.
Do not leave children alone in a vehicle.
Leaving children without adult supervision is illegal in most states and Canadian provinces, and can be very hazardous.
For example, infants and small children left in a vehicle on a hot day can die from heatstroke. A child left alone with the key in the ignition can accidentally set the vehicle in motion, possibly injuring themselves or others.
Lock both doors and the hatch when your vehicle is not in use.
Children who play in vehicles can accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in or around vehicles.
Keep vehicle keys and remote transmitters out of reach of children.
Even very young children learn how to unlock vehicle doors, turn on the ignition switch, and open the hatch, which can lead to accidental injury or death.

Protecting Infants and Small Children
Protecting Inf ants
Child Seat Type
An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the child reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat and the child is at least one year old.
Only a rear-facing child seat provides proper support for a baby’s head, neck, and back.
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the back seat, not the front.
Two types of seats may be used: a seat designed exclusively for infants, or a convertible seat used in the rearfacing, reclining mode.
Do not put a rear-f acing child seat in a f orward-f acing position.
If placed facing forward, an infant could be very seriously injured during a frontal collision.
Child Seat Placement
A rear-facing child seat can be placed in any seating position in the back seat, but not in the front.
Never put a rear-f acing child seat in the f ront seat.
If the passenger’s front airbag inflates, it can hit the back of the child seat with enough force to kill or seriously injure an infant.
When properly installed, a rearfacing child seat may prevent the driver or a front passenger from moving the seat as far back as recommended, or from locking the seat-back in the desired position.
In either situation, we strongly recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front passenger seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
34
０４／０７／１６ １３：０２：１１ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００３８
Protecting Infants and Small Children
Protecting Small Children
Child Seat Type
A child who is at least one year old, and who fits within the child seat maker’s weight and height limits, should be restrained in a forwardfacing, upright child seat.
Of the different seats available, we recommend those that have a fivepoint harness system as shown.
Child Seat Placement
We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a back seat, not the front.
Placing a f orward-f acing child seat in the f ront seat of a vehicle equipped with a passenger’s airbag can be hazardous.
If the vehicle seat is too far forward, or the child’s head is thrown forward during a collision, an inflating airbag can strike the child with enough force to cause very serious or fatal injuries.
If it is necessary to put a forwardfacing child seat in the front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, be sure the child seat is firmly secured to the vehicle, and the child is properly strapped in the seat.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death if the front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forwardfacing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.

０４／０７／１６ １３：０２：２１ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００３９
Selecting a Child Seat
Selecting a Child Seat
When buying a child seat, you need to choose either a conventional child seat, or one designed for use with the Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH) system.
Conventional child seats must be secured to a vehicle with a seat belt, whereas LATCH-compatible seats are secured by attaching the seat to hardware built into the two outer second row seats.
Since LATCH-compatible child seats are easier to install and reduce the possibility of improper installation, we recommend selecting this style.
We also recommend selecting a
LATCH-compatible seat with a rigid, rather than a flexible, anchor (see page 38 ).
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCHcompatible child seat can be installed using a seat belt.
Whatever type of seat you choose, to provide proper protection, a child seat should meet three requirements:
1.
The child seat should meet U.S. or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Saf ety
Standard 213.
Look for FMVSS
213 or CMVSS 213 on the box.
2.
The child seat should be of the proper type and size to f it the child.
Rear-facing for infants, forwardfacing for small children.
3.
The child seat should f it the vehicle seating position (or positions) where it will be used.
Before purchasing a conventional child seat, or using a previously purchased one, we recommend that you test the seat in the specific vehicle seating position, or positions, where the seat will be used.

Installing a Child Seat
Installing a Child Seat
After selecting a proper child seat, and a good place to install the seat, there are three main steps in installing the seat:
1.
Properly secure the child seat to the vehicle.
All child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt or with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children) system. A child whose seat is not properly secured to the vehicle can be endangered in a crash.
2.
Make sure the child seat is f irmly secured.
After installing a child seat, push and pull the seat forward and from side to side to verify that it is secure.
A child seat secured with a seat belt should be installed as firmly as possible. However, it does not need to be ‘‘rock solid.’’ Some side-to-side movement can be expected and should not reduce the child seat’s effectiveness.
If the child seat is not secure, try installing it in a different seating position, or use a different style of child seat that can be firmly secured.
3.
Secure the child in the child seat.
Make sure the child is properly strapped in the child seat according to the child seat maker’s instructions. A child who is not properly secured in a child seat can be thrown out of the seat in a crash.
The following pages provide guidelines on how to properly install a child seat. A forward-facing child seat is used in all examples, but the instructions are the same for a rearfacing child seat.
37
０４／０７／１６ １３：０２：４１ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００４１
Installing a Child Seat
Installing a Child Seat Using
LATCH
Your vehicle is equipped with
LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children) at the outer rear seats. The lower anchors are located between the seat-back and seat bottom, and are to be used only with a child seat designed for use with LATCH.
The location of each lower anchor is indicated by a small button above the anchor point.
LOWER ANCHORS
To install a LATCH-compatible child seat:
1.
Move the seat belt buckle or tongue away from the lower anchors.
2.
Make sure there are no objects near the anchors that could prevent a secure connection between the child seat and the anchors.
Rigid type
3.
Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then attach the seat to the lower anchors according to the child seat maker’s instructions.
Some LATCH-compatible seats have a rigid-type connector as shown above.

Installing a Child Seat
Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/
Shoulder Belt
When not using the LATCH system, all child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/ shoulder belt.
In addition, the lap/shoulder belts in all seating positions except the driver’s have a locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat.
1.
With the child seat in the desired seating position, route the belt through the child seat according to the seat maker’s instructions, then insert the latch plate into the buckle.

2.
To activate the lockable retractor, slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it stops, then let the belt feed back into the retractor.
3.
After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is locked, you will not be able to pull it out. If you can pull the belt out, it is not locked, and you will need to repeat these steps.
4.
After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt. Remember, if the lap part of the belt is not tight, the child seat will not be secure.
To remove slack, it may help to put weight on the child seat, or push on the back of the seat while pulling up on the belt.
5.
Push and pull the child seat forward and from side to side to verify that it is secure enough to stay upright during normal driving maneuvers. If the child seat is not secure, unlatch the belt, allow it to retract fully, then repeat these steps to deactivate the locking mechanism and remove a child seat, unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat belt, and let the belt fully retract.

Protecting Larger Children
When a child reaches the recommended weight or height limit for a forward-facing child seat, the child should sit in a back seat on a booster seat and wear a lap/shoulder belt.
The following pages give instructions on how to check proper seat belt fit, what kind of booster seat to use if one is needed, and important precautions for a child who must sit in front.
Allowing a larger child age 12 or under to sit in front can result in injury or death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible, use a booster seat if needed, have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly.
43
０４／０７／１６ １３：０３：３６ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００４７
Protecting Larger Children
Checking Seat Belt Fit
To determine if a lap/shoulder belt properly fits a child, have the child put on the seat belt, then ask yourself:
1.
Does the child sit all the way back against the seat?
2.
Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge of the seat?
3.
Does the shoulder belt cross between the child’s neck and arm?
4.
Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs?
5.
Will the child be able to stay seated like this for the whole trip?
Using a Booster Seat
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a booster seat.
A child who has outgrown a forwardfacing child seat should ride in a back seat and use a booster seat until the lap/shoulder belt fits them properly without the booster.
44
０４／０７／１６ １３：０３：４６ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００４８
Protecting Larger Children
Some states also require children to use a booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or
60 lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or states where you intend to drive.
Booster seats can be high-back or low-back. Whichever style you select, make sure the booster meets federal safety standards (see page 36 ) and that you follow the booster seat maker’s instructions.
If a child who uses a booster seat must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, and be sure the child is wearing the seat belt properly.
A child may continue using a booster seat until the tops of their ears are even with the top of the vehicle’s or booster’s seat-back. A child of this height should be tall enough to use the lap/shoulder belt without a booster seat.
When Can a Larger Child Sit in
Front
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children age 12 and under be properly restrained in the back seat.
If the passenger’s front airbag inflates in a moderate to severe frontal collision, the airbag can cause serious injuries to a child who is unrestrained, improperly restrained, sitting too close to the airbag, or out of position.
The side airbag also poses risks. If any part of a larger child’s body is in the path of a deploying side airbag, the child could receive possibly serious injuries.
45
０４／０７／１６ １３：０３：５９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００４９
Protecting Larger Children
Of course, children vary widely. And while age may be one indicator of when a child can safely ride in the front, there are other important factors you should consider.
Maturity
To safely ride in front, a child must be able to follow the rules, including sitting properly, and wearing the seat belt properly throughout a ride.
Physical Size
Physically, a child must be large enough for the lap/shoulder belt to properly fit (see page 44 ). If the seat belt does not fit properly, with or without the child sitting on a booster, the child should not sit in the front.
If you decide that a child can safely ride up front, be sure to:
Carefully read the owner’s manual, and make sure you understand all seat belt instructions and all safety information.
Move the vehicle seat to the rearmost position.
Have the child sit up straight, back against the seat, and feet on or near the floor.
Check that the child’s seat belt is properly and securely positioned.
Supervise the child. Even mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten the seat belts or sit properly.
Additional Saf ety Precautions
Do not let a child wear a seat belt across the neck.
This could result in serious neck injuries during a crash.
Do not let a child put the shoulder part of a seat belt behind the back or under the arm.
This could cause very serious injuries during a crash.
It also increases the chance that the child will slide under the belt in a crash and be injured.
Two children should never use the same seat belt.
If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash.
Do not put any accessories on a seat belt.
Devices intended to improve a child’s comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can make the belt less effective and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

０４／０７／１６ １３：０４：０７ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００５０
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Your vehicle’s exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas. You should have no problem with carbon monoxide entering the vehicle in normal driving if you maintain your vehicle properly.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust.
The vehicle was in an accident that may have damaged the underside.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.
High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed areas, such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the engine only long enough to move the vehicle out of the garage.
With the hatch open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into your vehicle’s interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the hatch open, open all the windows and set the heating and cooling system as shown below.
If you must sit in your parked vehicle with the engine running, even in an unconfined area, adjust the heating and cooling system as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Select the Fresh Air mode.
Select the mode.

AUTO SELECT − If you are traveling far from home and can no longer receive your preset stations, you can use the Auto Select feature to find stations in the local area.
Press the A. SEL button. ‘‘A.SEL’’ flashes in the display, and the system goes into scan mode for several seconds. It stores the frequencies of six AM, and twelve FM stations in the preset buttons.
You will see a ‘‘0’’ displayed after pressing a preset button if Auto
Select cannot find a strong station for every preset button.
If you do not like the stations Auto
Select has stored, you can store other frequencies on the preset buttons as previously described.
To turn off Auto Select, press the
A. SEL button. This restores the presets you originally set.
Adjusting the Sound

92
０４／０７／１６ １３：１１：２８ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００９６
Radio Reception
Radio Frequencies
The radio can receive the complete
AM and FM bands.
Those bands cover these frequencies:
AM band:
530 to 1,710 kilohertz
FM band:
87.7 to 107.9 megahertz
Radio stations on the AM band are assigned frequencies at least ten kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).
Stations on the FM band are assigned frequencies at least 0.2
megahertz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).
Stations must use these exact frequencies. It is fairly common for stations to round-off the frequency in their advertising, so your radio could display a frequency of 100.9 even though the announcer may identify the station as ‘‘FM101.’’
Radio Reception
How well the radio receives stations is dependent on many factors, such as the distance from the station’s transmitter, nearby large objects, and atmospheric conditions.
A radio station’s signal gets weaker as you get farther away from its transmitter. If you are listening to an
AM station, you will notice the sound volume becoming weaker and the station drifting in and out. If you are listening to an FM station, you will see the stereo indicator flickering off and on as the signal weakens.
Eventually, the stereo indicator will go off and the sound will fade completely as you get out of range of the station’s signal.
Driving very near the transmitter of a station that is broadcasting on a frequency close to the frequency of the station you are listening to can also affect your radio’s reception.
You may temporarily hear both stations, or hear only the station you are close to.
93
０４／０７／１６ １３：１１：３５ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ００９７
Radio Reception
Radio signals, especially on the FM band, are deflected by large objects such as buildings and hills. Your radio then receives both the direct signal from the station’s transmitter, and the deflected signal. This causes the sound to distort or flutter. This is a main cause of poor radio reception in city driving.
Radio reception can be affected by atmospheric conditions such as thunderstorms, high humidity, and even sunspots. You may be able to receive a distant radio station one day and not receive it the next day because of a change in conditions.
Electrical interference from passing vehicles and stationary sources can cause temporary reception problems.

As required by the FCC:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Protecting Your CDs
General Inf ormation
When using CD-R discs, use only high quality CDs labeled for audio use.
When recording a CD-R, the recording must be closed for it to be used by the system.
CD-RW discs will not work in this unit.
Play only standard round CDs.
Odd-shaped CDs may jam in the drive or cause other problems.
Handle your CDs properly to prevent damage and skipping.
Do not use discs with adhesive labels.
The label can curl up and cause the disc to jam in the unit.
Protecting CDs
When a CD is not being played, store it in its case to protect it from dust and other contamination. To prevent warpage, keep CDs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.
To clean a CD, use a clean soft cloth.
Wipe across the CD from the center to the outside edge.
A new CD may be rough on the inner and outer edges. The small plastic pieces causing this roughness can flake off and fall on the recording surface of the CD, causing skipping or other problems. Remove these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer edges with the side of a pencil or pen.
Never try to insert foreign objects in the CD player or the magazine.
Handle a CD by its edges; never touch either surface. Do not place stabilizer rings or labels on the CD.
These, along with contamination from fingerprints, liquids, and felt-tip pens, can cause the CD to not play properly, or possibly jam in the drive.

Caring f or the Tape and Player
The tape player picks up dirt and oxides from the tape. This contamination builds up over time and causes the sound quality to degrade. To prevent this, you should clean the player after every 30 hours of use.
If you do not clean the tape player regularly, it may eventually become impossible to remove the contamination with a normal cleaning kit. Your dealer has a cleaning kit available.
Use 100-minute or shorter tapes.
Tapes longer than that may break or jam the drive.
If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning the hub with a pencil or your finger. If the label is peeling off, remove it or it could cause the tape to jam in the player. Never try to insert a warped or damaged tape in the player.
Store tapes in their cases to protect them from dust and moisture. Never place tapes where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, high heat, or high humidity. If a tape is exposed to extreme heat or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature before inserting it into the player.
Never insert foreign objects into the cassette player.

Radio Theft Protection
Your vehicle’s audio system will disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason.
To make it work again, you must enter a specific five-digit code in the preset buttons. Because there are hundreds of number combinations possible from five-digits, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that lists your audio system code number and serial number. It is best to store this card in a safe place at home. In addition, you should write the audio system’s serial number in this
Owner’s Manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain the code number from a dealer. To do this, you will need the system’s serial number.
If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected or goes dead, the audio system will disable itself. If this happens, you will see ‘‘COdE’’ in the frequency display the next time you turn on the system. Use the preset buttons to enter the five-digit code.
The code is on the radio code card included in your Owner’s Manual kit.
When it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you make a mistake entering the code, do not start over; complete the five-digit sequence, then enter the correct code. You have ten tries to enter the correct code. If you are unsuccessful in ten attempts, you must then leave the system on for 1 hour before trying again.
If the code card is lost, your dealer can access your code with your radio’s serial number. To access the serial number, turn the radio on. It must display ‘‘COdE’’, then turn the radio off. Push the preset 1, preset 6, and power buttons at the same time, then quickly release.
You will have to store your favorite stations in the preset buttons after the system begins working. Your original settings were lost when the power was disconnected.

Help assure your vehicle’s future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you drive during the first 600 miles (1,000 km).
During this period:
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
Avoid hard braking for the first
200 miles (300 km).
Do not change the oil until the scheduled maintenance time.
You should follow these same recommendations with an overhauled or exchanged engine, or when the brakes are relined.
Fuel Recommendation
Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number of 86 or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic rapping noise that can lead to engine damage.
We recommend using quality gasoline containing detergent additives that help prevent fuel system and engine deposits.
In addition, in order to maintain good performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly recommend, in areas where it is available, the use of gasoline that does NOT contain manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT.
Use of gasoline with these additives may adversely affect performance, and cause the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact your dealer for service.
For further important fuel-related information, please refer to your
Quick Start Guide .
Some gasoline today is blended with oxygenates such as ethanol or
MTBE. Your vehicle is designed to operate on oxygenated gasoline containing up to 10 percent ethanol by volume and up to 15 percent
MTBE by volume. Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station or switch to another brand of gasoline.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks, and flames away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
1.
Park with the driver’s side closest to the gas pump.
2.
Open the fuel fill door by pulling on the handle to the left of the driver’s seat.
3.
Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.
You may hear a hissing sound as pressure inside the tank escapes.
Put the attachment on the fuel fill cap into the slit on the fuel fill door.
4.
Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. Do not try to ‘‘top off’’ the tank. Leave some room for the fuel to expand with temperature changes.
SLIT
ATTACHMENT
FUEL FILL CAP
If the fuel nozzle keeps clicking off even though the tank is not full, there may be a problem with your vehicle’s fuel vapor recovery system. The system helps keep fuel vapors from going into the atmosphere. Consult your dealer.

Look at the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank. Make sure it is between the MAX and MIN lines. If it is below the MIN line, see Adding
Engine Coolant on page 141 for information on adding the proper coolant.
Refer to Owner’s Maintenance
Checks on page 132 for information about checking other items on your vehicle.
Improving Fuel Economy
Always maintain your vehicle according to the maintenance schedule. See Owner’s
Maintenance Checks (see page
132 ).
For example, an underinflated tire causes more ‘‘rolling resistance,’’ which uses more fuel.
The build-up of snow or mud on your vehicle’s underside adds weight and rolling resistance.
Frequent cleaning helps your fuel mileage and reduces the chance of corrosion.
Drive moderately. Rapid acceleration, abrupt cornering, and hard braking use more fuel.
Always drive in the highest gear possible.
114
Try to maintain a constant speed.
Every time you slow down and speed up, your vehicle uses extra fuel. Use the cruise control when appropriate.
Combine several short trips into one.
The air conditioning puts an extra load on the engine which makes it use more fuel. Use the fresh-air ventilation when possible.

Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your vehicle, or installing some non-Honda accessories, can make it unsafe. Before you make any modifications or add any accessories, be sure to read the following information.
Accessories
Your dealer has Honda accessories that allow you to personalize your vehicle. These accessories have been designed and approved for your vehicle, and are covered by warranty.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling, stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding accessories and modifications.
Although non-Honda accessories may fit on your vehicle, they may not meet factory specifications, and could adversely affect your vehicle’s handling and stability (see page 116 ).
When properly installed, cellular phones, alarms, two-way radios, and low-powered audio systems should not interfere with your vehicle’s computer controlled systems, such as your airbags and anti-lock brakes.
Before installing any accessory:
Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, or interfere with proper vehicle operation or performance.
Be sure electronic accessories do not overload electrical circuits
(see page 181 ) or interfere with proper operation.
Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact your dealer for assistance.
If possible, have your dealer inspect the final installation.

０４／０７／１６ １３：１５：０３ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１１９
Accessories and Modifications
Modif ying Your Vehicle
Removing parts from your vehicle, or replacing components with non-Honda components could seriously affect your vehicle’s handling, stability, and reliability.
Some examples are:
Lowering your vehicle with a non-Honda suspension kit that significantly reduces ground clearance can allow the undercarriage to hit speed bumps or other raised objects, which could cause the airbags to deploy.
Raising your vehicle with a non-Honda suspension kit can affect the handling and stability.
Non-Honda wheels, because they are a universal design, can cause excessive stress on suspension components.
Larger or smaller wheels and tires can interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s anti-lock brakes and other systems.
Modifying your steering wheel or any other part of your vehicle’s safety systems could make the systems ineffective.
If you plan to modify your vehicle, consult your dealer.

Carrying Cargo
Your vehicle has several convenient storage areas:
Glove box
Front door pocket

Load Limits
The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (395 kg). This figure includes total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories.
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this manual.
Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit:
1.
Locate the statement, ‘‘the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 850 lbs’’ on your vehicle’s placard.
[The placard is on the driver’s doorjamb.]
2.
Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
850 pounds or 395 kilograms.
4.
The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the maximum load is 850 lbs and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 100 lbs.
(850 − 750 (5 × 150) = 100 lbs.)
5.
Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity in
Step 4.

Carrying Cargo
Carrying Items in the Passenger
Compartment
Store or secure all items that could be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash.
Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the seats and interfere with the driver’s ability to operate the pedals or the seat.
Keep the glove box closed while driving. If it is open, a passenger could injure their knees during a crash or sudden stop.
Carrying Cargo in the Cargo Area
Distribute cargo evenly on the floor of the cargo area, placing the heaviest items on the bottom and as far forward as possible. Tie down items that could be thrown about the vehicle during a crash or sudden stop.
Do not place items on the cargo area cover, or stack objects higher than the top of the back seat. They could block your view and be thrown about the vehicle during a crash or sudden stop.
If you carry large items that prevent you from closing the hatch, exhaust gas can enter the passenger area. To avoid the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning , follow the instructions on page 47 .

Preparing to Drive
You should do the following checks and adjustments before you drive your vehicle.
1.
Make sure all windows, mirrors, and outside lights are clean and unobstructed. Remove frost, snow, or ice.
6.
Check the seat adjustment (see page 71 ).
7.
Check the adjustment of the inside and outside mirrors (see page 79 ).
8.
Check the steering wheel adjustment (see page 63 ).
2.
Check that the hood is fully closed.
3.
Check that the hatch is fully closed.
4.
Visually check the tires. If a tire looks low, use a gauge to check its pressure.
5.
Check that any items you may be carrying are stored properly or fastened down securely.
9.
Make sure the doors and the hatch are securely closed and locked.
10.
Fasten your seat belt. Check that your passengers have fastened their seat belts (see page 16 ).
When you start the engine, check the gauges and indicator lights in the instrument panel (see page 51 ).
122
０４／０７／１６ １３：１６：００ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１２６
Starting the Engine
1.
Apply the parking brake.
2.
In cold weather, turn off all electrical accessories to reduce the drain on the battery.
3.
Push the clutch pedal down all the way.
4.
Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to the
START (III) position. Do not hold the key in START for more than
15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start right away, pause for at least 10 seconds before trying again.
5.
If the engine does not start within
15 seconds, or starts but stalls right away, repeat step 4 with the accelerator pedal pressed halfway down. If the engine starts, release pressure on the accelerator pedal so the engine does not race.
6.
If the engine fails to start, press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there while starting to clear flooding. If the engine still does not start, return to step 5.
The engine is harder to start in cold weather. Also, the thinner air f ound at altitudes above 8,000 f eet (2,400 meters) adds to this problem.
The immobilizer system protects your vehicle f rom thef t. If an improperlycoded key (or other device) is used, the engine’s f uel system is disabled. See
Immobilizer System on page 65 .
123
０４／０７／１６ １３：１６：０６ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１２７
Manual Transmission
The manual transmission is synchronized in all forward gears for smooth operation. It has a lockout so you cannot shift directly from Fifth to Reverse. When shifting up or down, make sure you push the clutch pedal down all the way, shift to the next gear, and let the pedal up gradually. When you are not shifting, do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal. This can cause your clutch to wear out faster.
Come to a full stop before you shift into Reverse. You can damage the transmission by trying to shift into
Reverse with the vehicle moving.
Push down the clutch pedal, and pause for a few seconds before shifting into Reverse, or shift into one of the forward gears for a moment. This stops the gears so they won’t ‘‘grind.’’
When slowing down, you can get extra braking from the engine by shifting to a lower gear. This extra braking can help you maintain a safe speed and prevent your brakes from overheating while going down a steep hill. Before downshifting, make sure the engine speed will not go into the tachometer’s red zone in the lower gear.
124
Rapid slowing or speeding-up can cause loss of control on slippery surfaces. If you crash, you can be injured.
Use extra care when driving on slippery surfaces.
０４／０７／１６ １３：１６：１３ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１２８
Recommended Shif t Points
Drive in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate smoothly. This will give you good fuel economy and effective emissions control. The following shift points are recommended:
Shift up Normal acceleration
1st to 2nd
2nd to 3rd
3rd to 4th
4th to 5th
17 mph (27 km/h)
28 mph (45 km/h)
45 mph (72 km/h)
56 mph (90 km/h)
Engine Speed Limiter
If you exceed the maximum speed for the gear you are in, the engine speed will enter into the tachometer’s red zone. If this occurs, you may feel the engine cut in and out. This is caused by a limiter in the engine’s computer controls. The engine will run normally when you reduce the
RPM below the red zone.
Before downshifting, make sure the engine will not go into the tachometer’s red zone.

Parking, Towing a Trailer
Parking
Always use the parking brake when you park your vehicle. Make sure the parking brake is set firmly or your vehicle may roll if it is parked on an incline.
Parking Tips
Make sure the moonroof and the windows are closed.
Turn off the lights.
Place any packages, valuables, etc.
in the cargo area, or take them with you.
Lock the doors.
Never park over dry leaves, tall grass, or other flammable materials. The hot three way catalytic converter could cause these materials to catch on fire.
If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb, and put the transmission in first gear.
If the vehicle is facing downhill, turn the front wheels toward the curb, and put the transmission in reverse gear.
Make sure the parking brake is fully released before driving away.
Driving with the parking brake partially set can overheat or damage the rear brakes.
Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer, attempting to do so can void your warranties.
126
０４／０７／１６ １３：１６：３５ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１３０
Braking System
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. A power assist helps reduce the effort needed on the brake pedal. The ABS helps you retain steering control when braking very hard.
Resting your foot on the pedal keeps the brakes applied lightly, builds up heat, and reduces their effectiveness.
It also keeps your brake lights on all the time, confusing drivers behind you.
Constant application of the brakes when going down a long hill builds up heat and reduces their effectiveness. Use the engine to assist the brakes by taking your foot off the accelerator and downshifting to a lower gear.
Check the brakes after driving through deep water. Apply the brakes moderately to see if they feel normal. If not, apply them gently and frequently until they do. Be extra cautious in your driving.
Braking System Design
The hydraulic system that operates the brakes has two separate circuits.
Each circuit works diagonally across the vehicle (the left-front brake is connected with the right-rear brake, etc.). If one circuit should develop a problem, you will still have braking at two wheels.
Brake Wear Indicators
If the brake pads need replacing, you will hear a distinctive, metallic screeching sound when you apply the brake pedal. If you do not have the brake pads replaced, they will screech all the time. It is normal for the brakes to occasionally squeal or squeak when you apply them.
127
０４／０７／１６ １３：１６：４７ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１３１
Anti-lock Brakes (ABS)
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) helps prevent the brakes from locking up and helps you retain steering control by pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than a person can do it.
ABS Indicator
You should never pump the brake pedal.
Let the ABS work for you by always keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. This is sometimes referred to as ‘‘stomp and steer.’’
ABS INDICATOR
You will feel a pulsation in the brake pedal when the ABS activates, and you may hear some noise. This is normal: it is the ABS rapidly pumping the brakes. On dry pavement, you will need to press on the brake pedal very hard before the
If the ABS indicator comes on, the anti-lock function of the braking system has shut down. The brakes still work like a conventional system, but without anti-lock. You should have a dealer inspect your vehicle as
ABS activates. However, you may feel the ABS activate immediately if soon as possible.
you are trying to stop on snow or ice.
If the ABS indicator comes on while driving, test the brakes as shown on page 127 .
Important Saf ety Reminders
ABS does not reduce the time or distance it takes to stop the vehicle; It only helps with steering control during braking.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results f rom changing direction abruptly, such as trying to take a corner too fast or making a sudden lane change.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when you are braking hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel movement can still cause your vehicle to veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.
A vehicle with ABS may require a longer distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces, such as gravel or snow, than a vehicle without antilock.

ENGINE OIL FILL CAP
Unscrew and remove the engine oil fill cap on top of the valve cover.
Pour in the oil slowly and carefully so you do not spill. Clean up any spills immediately. Spilled oil could damage components in the engine compartment. Install the engine oil fill cap, and tighten it securely. Wait a few minutes, and recheck the oil level. Do not fill above the upper mark; you could damage the engine.
Recommended Engine Oil
Oil is a major contributor to your engine’s performance and longevity.
Always use a premium-grade 5W-20 detergent oil displaying the API
Certification Seal. This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving, and that it meets the American Petroleum
Institute’s latest requirements.
Honda Motor Oil is the preferred
5W-20 lubricant for your vehicle. It is highly recommended that you use
Honda Motor Oil in your vehicle for optimum engine protection. Make sure the API Certification Seal says
‘‘For Gasoline Engines.’’
The oil’s viscosity or weight is provided on the container’s label.
5W-20 oil is formulated for yearround protection of your vehicle, to improve cold weather starting and fuel economy.

Adding Engine Oil, Changing the Oil and Filter
Synthetic Oil
You may use a synthetic motor oil if it meets the same requirements given for a conventional motor oil: it displays the API Certification Seal, and it is the proper weight. You must follow the oil and filter change intervals given on the maintenance schedule.
Engine Oil Additives
Your vehicle does not require any oil additives. Additives may adversely affect your engine’s or transmission’s performance and durability.
Changing the Oil and Filter
Always change the oil and filter according to the recommendations in the maintenance schedule. The oil and filter collect contaminants that can damage your engine if they are not removed regularly.
Changing the oil and filter requires special tools and access from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle should be raised on a service stationtype hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge and proper equipment, you should have this maintenance done by a skilled mechanic.

Engine Coolant
Adding Engine Coolant
RESERVE TANK
If the coolant level in the reserve tank is at or below the MIN line, add coolant to bring it up to between the
MIN and MAX lines. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Always use Honda All Season
Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. This coolant is pre-mixed with 50 percent antifreeze and 50 percent water.
Never add straight antifreeze or plain water.
If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not available, you may use another major-brand non-silicate coolant as a temporary replacement. Make sure it is a high-quality coolant recommended for aluminum engines.
Continued use of any non-Honda coolant can result in corrosion, causing the cooling system to malfunction or fail. Have the cooling system flushed and refilled with
Honda antifreeze/coolant as soon as possible.
If the reserve tank is completely empty, you should also check the coolant level in the radiator.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.

RADIATOR CAP
1.
When the radiator and engine are cool, relieve any pressure in the cooling system by turning the radiator cap counterclockwise, without pressing down.
2.
Remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning counterclockwise.
3.
The coolant level should be up to the base of the filler neck. Add coolant if it is low. Pour the coolant slowly and carefully so you do not spill. Clean up any spill immediately; it could damage components in the engine compartment.
4.
Put the radiator cap back on and tighten it.
5.
Pour coolant into the reserve tank.
Fill it to halfway between the MAX and MIN marks. Put the cap back on the reserve tank.
Do not add any rust inhibitors or other additives to your vehicle’s cooling system. They may not be compatible with the coolant or engine components.
Windshield Washers
Check the fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir at least monthly during normal use.
On Canadian models: The low washer level indicator comes on when the level is low (see page 54 ).
Fill the reservoir with a good-quality windshield washer fluid. This increases the cleaning capability and prevents freezing in cold weather.
When you refill the reservoir, clean the edges of the windshield wiper blades with windshield washer fluid on a clean cloth. This will help to condition them.
Do not use engine antif reeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer reservoir. Antif reeze can damage your vehicle’s paint, while a vinegar/water solution can damage the windshield washer pump. Use only commercially-available windshield washer f luid.

Correct level
FILLER BOLT
Check the fluid level with the transmission at normal operating temperature and the vehicle sitting on level ground. Remove the transmission filler bolt, and carefully feel inside the bolt hole with your finger. The fluid level should be up to the edge of the bolt hole. If it is not, add Honda Manual
Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it starts to run out of the hole. Reinstall the filler bolt, and tighten it securely.
If Honda MTF is not available, you may use an SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 viscosity motor oil with the API
Certification seal that says ‘‘FOR
GASOLINE ENGINES’’ as a temporary replacement. However, motor oil does not contain the proper additives, and continued use can cause stiffer shifting. Replace as soon as it is convenient.
The transmission should be drained and refilled with new fluid according to the time and distance recommendations in the maintenance schedule.
If you are not sure how to add fluid, contact your dealer.

Cleaning the Seat Belts, Floor Mats, Dust and Pollen Filter
Cleaning the Seat Belts
LOOP
Floor Mats
If your seat belts get dirty, use a soft brush with a mixture of mild soap and warm water to clean them. Do not use bleach, dye, or cleaning solvents. Let the belts air dry before you use the vehicle.
Dirt build-up in the loops of the seat belt anchors can cause the belts to retract slowly. Wipe the insides of the loops with a clean cloth dampened in mild soap and warm water or isopropyl alcohol.
The driver’s floor mat that came with your vehicle hooks over the floor mat anchor. This keeps the floor mat from sliding forward and possibly interfering with the pedals.
If you remove the driver’s floor mat, make sure to re-anchor it when you put it back in your vehicle.
If you use an aftermarket floor mat, make sure it fits properly and that it can be used with the floor mat anchor. Do not put additional floor mats on top of the anchored mat.
Dust and Pollen Filter
This filter removes the dust and pollen that is brought in from the outside through the heating and cooling system.
Have your dealer replace this filter every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) under normal conditions. It should be replaced every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) if you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air, or if the flow from the heating and cooling system becomes less than usual.

Tires
Tires
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated.
The following pages give more detailed information on how to take care of your tires and what to do when they need to be replaced.
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation and maintenance.
Inf lation Guidelines
Keeping the tires properly inflated provides the best combination of handling, tread life, and riding comfort.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tires can make your vehicle ride more harshly, are more prone to damage from road hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your tires every day. If you think a tire might be low, check it immediately with a tire gauge.
Use a gauge to measure the air pressure in each tire at least once a month. Even tires that are in good condition may lose one to two psi (10 to 20 kPa, 0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm ) per month. Remember to check the spare tire at the same time.
Check the air pressures when the tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). Add or release air, if needed, to match the recommended cold tire pressures on page 158 .
157
０４／０７／１６ １３：２２：３７ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１６１
Tires
If you check air pressures when the tires are hot (driven for several miles), you will see readings 4 to 6 psi (30 to 40 kPa, 0.3 to 0.4 kgf/cm ) higher than the cold readings. This is normal. Do not let air out to match the recommended cold air pressure.
The tire will be underinflated.
You should use your own tire pressure gauge whenever you check your tire pressures. This will make it easier for you to tell if a pressure loss is due to a tire problem and not due to a variation between gauges.
While tubeless tires have some ability to self-seal if they are punctured, you should look closely for punctures if a tire starts losing pressure.
Recommended Tire Pressures
The following chart shows the recommended cold tire pressures for most normal and high-speed driving conditions.
Tire Size
P205/55R16 89V
Compact spare
Cold Tire Pressure for Normal Driving
30 psi (210 kPa ,

For convenience, the recommended cold air pressures and tire sizes are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
For additional information about your tires, see page 195 .
158
０４／０７／１６ １３：２２：５８ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１６２
Tires
Tire Inspection
Every time you check inflation, you should also examine the tires for damage, foreign objects, and wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread or side of the tire. Replace the tire if you find either of these conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side of the tire. Replace the tire if you can see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.
INDICATOR LOCATION MARKS
TREAD WEAR INDICATOR
Your tires have wear indicators molded into the tread. When the tread wears down, you will see a band 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide across the tread. This shows there is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread left on the tire.
A tire this worn gives very little traction on wet roads. You should replace the tire if you can see three or more tread wear indicators.
Tire Maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, have your dealer check the wheel alignment.
Have your dealer check the tires if you feel a consistent vibration while driving. A tire should always be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel. When you have new tires installed, make sure they are balanced. This increases riding comfort and tire life. For best results, have the installer perform a dynamic balance.
Improper wheel weights can damage your vehicle’s aluminum wheels. Use only Honda wheel weights f or balancing.

Tires
Tire Rotation
Front Front
(Front Non-directional
Tires and Wheels)
(Front Directional
Tires and Wheels)
To help increase tire life and distribute wear more evenly, rotate the tires every 10,000 miles (16,000 km). Move the tires to the positions shown in the chart each time they are rotated. If you purchase directional tires, rotate only front-toback.
Replacing Tires and Wheels
Replace your tires with radial tires of the same size, load range, speed rating and maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall).
Mixing radial and bias-ply tires on your vehicle can reduce braking ability, traction, and steering accuracy. Using tires of a different size or construction can cause the
ABS to work inconsistently.
It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that is not possible or necessary, replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle’s handling.
If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheels.
Replacement wheels are available at your dealer.
160
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in this owner’s manual.

Tires
Winter Driving
Tires marked ‘‘M ＋ S’’ or ‘‘All
Season’’ on the sidewall have an allweather tread design suitable for most winter driving conditions.
For the best performance in snowy or icy conditions, you should install snow tires or tire chains. They may be required by local laws under certain conditions.
Snow Tires
If you mount snow tires on your vehicle, make sure they are radial tires of the same size and load range as original tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels. The traction provided by snow tires on dry roads may be lower than your original tires.
Check with the tire dealer for maximum speed recommendations.
Tire Chains
Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, mount only SAE Class ‘‘S’’ cable-type traction devices, with rubber chain tensioners on the front tires. Use traction devices only when required by driving conditions or local laws. Make sure they are the correct size for your tires. Make linktype ‘‘chains’’ should not be used.
When installing cables, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and mount them as tight as you can.
Make sure they are not contacting the brake lines or suspension. Drive slowly with them installed. If you hear them coming into contact with the body or chassis, stop and investigate. Remove them as soon as you begin driving on cleared roads.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting any part of the vehicle.

Checking the Battery
TEST INDICATOR WINDOW
Check the condition of the battery monthly by looking at the test indicator window. The label on the battery explains the test indicator’s colors.
Check the terminals for corrosion (a white or yellowish powder). To remove it, cover the terminals with a solution of baking soda and water. It will bubble up and turn brown. When this stops, wash it off with plain water. Dry off the battery with a cloth or paper towel. Coat the terminals with grease to help prevent further corrosion.
If additional battery maintenance is needed, see your dealer or a qualified technician.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash your hands af ter handling.
If you need to connect the battery to a charger, disconnect both cables to prevent damaging your vehicle’s electrical system. Always disconnect the negative ( − ) cable first, and reconnect it last.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a face shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the battery maintenance.
162
０４／０７／１６ １３：２３：４３ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１６６
If you need to park your vehicle for an extended period (more than one month), there are several things you should do to prepare it for storage.
Proper preparation helps prevent deterioration and makes it easier to get your vehicle back on the road. If possible, store your vehicle indoors.
Fill the fuel tank.
Change the engine oil and filter.
Wash and dry the exterior completely.
Clean the interior. Make sure the carpeting, floor mats, etc., are completely dry.
Leave the parking brake off. Put the transmission in Reverse.
Vehicle Storage
Block the rear wheels.
If the vehicle is to be stored for a longer period, it should be supported on jackstands so the tires are off the ground.
Leave one window open slightly (if the vehicle is being stored indoors).
Disconnect the battery.
Support the front and rear wiper blade arms with a folded towel or rag so they do not touch the windshield.
To minimize sticking, apply a silicone spray lubricant to all door and hatch seals. Also, apply a vehicle body wax to the painted surfaces that mate with the door and hatch seals.
Cover the vehicle with a
‘‘breathable’’ cover, one made from a porous material such as cotton. Non-porous materials, such as plastic sheeting, trap moisture, which can damage the paint.
If possible, periodically run the engine until it reaches full operating temperature (the cooling fan cycles twice).
Preferably, do this once a month.
If you store your vehicle for 12 months or longer, have your dealer perform the inspections called for in the 24 months/30,000 miles
(48,000 km) maintenance schedule
(Normal Conditions) as soon as you take it out of storage (see page 133 ).
The replacements called for in the maintenance schedule are not needed unless the vehicle has actually reached that time or mileage.

Compact Spare Tire
Use the compact spare tire as a temporary replacement only. Get your regular tire repaired or replaced, and put it back on your vehicle as soon as you can.
Check the inflation pressure of the compact spare tire every time you check the other tires. It should be inflated to:
60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm )
Follow these precautions:
Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
This tire gives a harsher ride and less traction on some road surfaces. Use greater caution while driving.
Do not mount snow chains on the compact spare tire.
Do not use your compact spare tire on another vehicle unless it is the same make and model.
INDICATOR LOCATION MARK
TREAD WEAR INDICATOR BAR
Replace the tire when you can see the tread wear indicator bars. The replacement should be the same size and design tire, mounted on the same wheel. The spare tire is not designed to be mounted on a regular wheel, and the spare wheel is not designed for mounting a regular tire.

Changing a Flat Tire
If you have a flat tire while driving, stop in a safe place to change it.
Drive slowly along the shoulder until you get to an exit or an area to stop that is far away from the traffic lanes.
Use the jack that came with your vehicle. If you try to raise another vehicle with this jack or use another jack to raise your vehicle, the vehicle or jack can be damaged.
SPARE TIRE CARGO AREA FLOOR
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.
1.
Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery ground. Put the transmission in Reverse. Apply the parking brake.
2.
Turn on the hazard warning lights, and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0). Have all the passengers get out of the vehicle while you change the tire.

If the Engine Won’t Start
Diagnosing why the engine won’t start falls into two areas, depending on what you hear when you turn the key to START (III):
You hear nothing, or almost nothing. The engine’s starter motor does not operate at all, or operates very slowly.
You can hear the starter motor operating normally, or the starter motor sounds like it is spinning faster than normal, but the engine does not start up and run.
Nothing Happens or the Starter
Motor Operates Very Slowly
When you turn the ignition switch to
START (III), you do not hear the normal noise of the engine trying to start. You may hear a clicking sound or series of clicks, or nothing at all.
Check these things:
Check the transmission interlock.
The clutch pedal must be pushed all the way to the floor or the starter will not operate.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Turn on the headlights, and check their brightness. If the headlights are very dim or do not come on at all, the battery is discharged. See
Jump Starting on page 173 .
Turn the ignition switch to START
(III). If the headlights do not dim, check the condition of the fuses. If the fuses are OK, there is probably something wrong with the electrical circuit for the ignition switch or starter motor.
You will need a qualified technician to determine the problem (see on page 186 ).
Emergency Towing
If the headlights dim noticeably or go out when you try to start the engine, either the battery is discharged or the connections are corroded. Check the condition of the battery and terminal connections (see page 162 ). You can then try jump starting the vehicle from a booster battery (see page
173 ).
171
０４／０７／１６ １３：２５：００ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１７５
If the Engine Won’t Start
The Starter Operates Normally
In this case, the starter motor’s speed sounds normal, or even faster than normal, when you turn the ignition switch to START (III), but the engine does not run.
Are you using a properly coded key? An improperly coded key will cause the immobilizer system indicator in the dash panel to blink rapidly (see page 65 ).
Are you using the proper starting procedure? Refer to
Engine on page 123
Starting the

Do you have fuel? Check the fuel gauge; the low fuel indicator may not be working.
There may be an electrical problem, such as no power to the fuel pump. Check all the fuses
(see page 181 ).
If you find nothing wrong, you will need a qualified technician to find the problem. See Emergency
Towing on page 186 .
172
０４／０７／１６ １３：２５：０９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１７６
Jump Starting
Although this seems like a simple procedure, you should take several precautions.
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
To jump start your vehicle:
1.
Open the hood, and check the physical condition of the battery.
In very cold weather, check the condition of the electrolyte. If it seems slushy or frozen, do not try jump starting until it thaws.
If a battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolyte inside can f reeze.
Attempting to jump start with a f rozen battery can cause it to rupture.
2.
Turn off all the electrical accessories: heater, A/C, stereo system, lights, etc. Put the transmission in Neutral and set the parking brake.
3.
Connect one jumper cable to the positive ( ＋ ) terminal on your battery. Connect the other end to the positive ( ＋ ) terminal on the booster battery.
4.
Connect the second jumper cable to the negative ( − ) terminal on the booster battery. Connect the other end to the grounding strap as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable to any other part of the engine.
173
０４／０７／１６ １３：２５：２１ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１７７
Jump Starting, If the Engine Overheats
The numbers in the illustrations show you the order to connect the jumper cables.
5.
If the booster battery is in another vehicle, have an assistant start that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.
6.
Start the vehicle. If the starter motor still operates slowly, check that the jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact.
7.
Once the vehicle is running, disconnect the negative cable from your vehicle, then from the booster battery. Disconnect the positive cable from the vehicle, and then from the booster battery.
Keep the ends of the jumper cables away from each other and any metal on the vehicle until everything is disconnected. Otherwise, you may cause an electrical short.
If the Engine Overheats
The pointer of the vehicle’s temperature gauge should stay in the midrange. If it climbs to the red mark, you should determine the reason (hot day, driving up a steep hill, etc.).
If the vehicle overheats, you should take immediate action. The only indication may be the temperature gauge climbing to or above the red mark. Or you may see steam or spray coming from under the hood.
Driving with the temperature gauge pointer at the red mark can cause serious damage to your engine.
174
０４／０７／１６ １３：２５：２９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１７８
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
If the Engine Overheats
1.
Safely pull to the side of the road.
Put the transmission in Neutral, and set the parking brake. Turn off the all accessories, and turn on the hazard warning indicators.
2.
If you see steam and/or spray coming from under the hood, turn off the engine. Wait until you see no more signs of steam or spray, then open the hood.
3.
If you do not see steam or spray, leave the engine running, and watch the temperature gauge. If the high heat is due to overloading, the engine should start to cool down almost immediately. If it does, wait until the temperature gauge comes down to the midpoint, then continue driving.
4.
If the temperature gauge stays at the red mark, turn off the engine.
5.
Look for any obvious coolant leaks, such as a split radiator hose.
Everything is still extremely hot, so use caution. If you find a leak, it must be repaired before you continue driving (see Emergency
Towing on page 186 ).
6.
If you do not find an obvious leak, check the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank. Add coolant if the level is below the MIN mark.
175
０４／０７／１６ １３：２５：３７ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１７９
If the Engine Overheats
7.
If there was no coolant in the reserve tank, you may need to add coolant to the radiator. Let the engine cool down until the pointer reaches the middle of the temperature gauge or lower before checking the radiator.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
8.
Using gloves or a large heavy cloth, turn the radiator cap counterclockwise, without pushing down, to the first stop. After the pressure releases, push down on the cap, and turn it until it comes off.
9.
Start the engine, and set the temperature control dial to maximum heat. Add coolant to the radiator up to the base of the filler neck. If you do not have the proper coolant mixture available, you can add plain water.
Remember to have the cooling system drained and refilled with the proper mixture as soon as you can.
10.
Put the radiator cap back on tightly. Run the engine, and watch the temperature gauge. If it goes back to the red mark, the engine needs repair (see Emergency
Towing on page 186 ).
11.
If the temperature stays normal, check the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank. If it has gone down, add coolant to the
MAX mark. Put the cap back on tightly.
176
０４／０７／１６ １３：２５：４７ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１８０
Low Oil Pressure Indicator, Charging System Indicator
Low Oil Pressure Indicator
This indicator should never come on when the engine is running. If it starts flashing or stays on, the oil pressure has dropped very low. Serious engine damage is possible and you should take immediate action.
Running the engine with low oil pressure can cause serious mechanical damage almost immediately. Turn of f the engine as soon as you can saf ely get the vehicle stopped.
1.
Safely pull off the road, and shut off the engine. Turn on the hazard warning indicators.
2.
Let the vehicle sit for a minute.
Open the hood, and check the oil level (see page 113 ). An engine very low on oil can lose pressure during cornering and other driving maneuvers.
3.
If necessary, add oil to bring the level back to the full mark on the dipstick (see page 138 ).
4.
Start the engine, and watch the oil pressure indicator. If it does not go out within 10 seconds, turn off the engine. There is a mechanical problem that needs to be repaired before you can continue driving
(see Emergency Towing on page
186 ).
Charging System Indicator
If the charging system indicator comes on brightly when the engine is running, the battery is not being charged.
Immediately turn off all electrical accessories. Try not to use other electrically operated controls such as the power windows. Keep the engine running; starting the engine will discharge the battery rapidly.
Go to a service station or garage where you can get technical assistance.
177
０４／０７／１６ １３：２５：５７ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１８１
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
If the indicator comes on while driving, it means one of the engine’s emissions control systems may have a problem.
Even though you may feel no difference in your vehicle’s performance, it can reduce your fuel economy and cause increased emissions. Continued operation may cause serious damage.
If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the indicator coming on could be due to a loose or missing fuel fill cap. Tighten the cap until it clicks at least three times.
Tightening the cap will not turn the indicator off immediately; it takes at least three days of normal driving.
If the indicator comes on repeatedly, even though it may turn off as you continue driving, have the vehicle checked by your dealer as soon as possible.
If you keep driving with the
Malf unction Indicator Lamp on, you can damage your vehicle’s emission controls and the engine. Those repairs may not be covered by your vehicle’s warranties.
Readiness Code
Your vehicle has certain ‘‘readiness codes’’ that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. In some states, part of the emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set. If they are not set, the test cannot be completed.
If your vehicle battery has been disconnected or gone dead, these codes are erased. It takes at least three days of driving under various conditions to set the codes again.
To check if they are set, turn the ignition to ON (II), without starting the engine. The Malfunction
Indicator Lamp will come on for 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks 5 times, the readiness codes are not set. If possible, do not take your vehicle for a state emissions test until the readiness codes are set.
Refer to STATE EMISSIONS
TESTING for more information (see page 199 ).
178
０４／０７／１６ １３：２６：０４ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１８２
U.S.
Canada
The brake system indicator normally comes on when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and as a reminder to check the parking brake. It will stay on if you do not fully release the parking brake.
If the brake system indicator comes on while driving, the brake fluid level is probably low. Press lightly on the brake pedal to see if it feels normal.
If it does, check the brake fluid level the next time you stop at a service station (see page 144 ).
If the fluid level is low, take your vehicle to a dealer, and have the brake system inspected for leaks or worn brake pads.
However, if the brake pedal does not feel normal, you should take immediate action. A problem in one part of the system’s dual circuit design will still give you braking at two wheels. You will feel the brake pedal go down much farther before the vehicle begins to slow down, and you will have to press harder on the pedal.
Slow down by shifting to a lower gear, and pull to the side of the road when it is safe. Because of the long distance needed to stop, it is hazardous to drive the vehicle. You should have it towed and repaired as soon as possible (see Emergency
Towing on page 186 ).
If you must drive the vehicle a short distance in this condition, drive slowly and carefully.

Closing the Moonroof
If the electric motor will not close the moonroof, do the following:
1.
Check the fuse for the moonroof motor (see page 185 ). If the fuse is blown, replace it with one of the same or lower rating.
2.
Try closing the moonroof. If the new fuse blows immediately or the moonroof motor still does not operate, you can close the moonroof manually.
3.
Get the moonroof wrench out of the tool kit in the cargo area.

5.
Insert the moonroof wrench into the socket behind this plug. Turn the wrench until the moonroof is fully closed.
6.
Remove the wrench. Reinstall the round plug.
If you need to close the moonroof manually, it means the moonroof opening/closing function is developing a problem. Have your vehicle checked by your dealer.

INTERIOR UNDER-HOOD
The vehicle’s fuses are contained in two fuse boxes. The interior fuse box is located underneath the steering column. To open it, turn the knobs as shown.
The under-hood fuse box is located in the back of the engine compartment on the left side. To open it, push the tabs as shown.
Fuses
Checking and Replacing Fuses
If something electrical in your vehicle stops working, check for a blown fuse first. Determine from the chart on pages 184 and 185 , or the diagram on the fuse box lid, which fuses control that device. Check those fuses first, but check all the fuses before deciding that a blown fuse is the cause. Replace any blown fuses, and check if the device works.

2.
Remove the cover from the fuse box.
3.
Check each of the large fuses in the under-hood fuse box by looking through the top at the wire inside. Remove the screws with a phillips-head screwdriver.
4.
Check the smaller fuses in the under-hood fuse box and all the fuses in the interior fuse box by pulling out each one with the fuse puller provided in the under-hood fuse box.
5.
Look for a burned wire inside the fuse. If it is burned, replace it with one of the spare fuses of the same rating or lower.
182
０４／０７／１６ １３：２６：４０ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１８６
Fuses
If you cannot drive the vehicle without fixing the problem, and you do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the same rating or a lower rating from one of the other circuits. Make sure you can do without that circuit temporarily (such as the accessory power socket or radio).
If you replace the blown fuse with a spare fuse that has a lower rating, it might blow out again. This does not indicate anything wrong. Replace the fuse with one of the correct rating as soon as you can.
Replacing a f use with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system. If you do not have a replacement f use with the proper rating f or the circuit, install one with a lower rating.
6.
If the replacement fuse of the same rating blows in a short time, there is probably a serious electrical problem with your vehicle. Leave the blown fuse in that circuit, and have your vehicle checked by a qualified mechanic.
If the radio fuse is removed, the audio system will disable itself. The next time you turn on the radio you will see ‘‘COdE’’ in the frequency display. Use the preset buttons to enter the five-digit code (see page
103 ).

Emergency Towing
If your vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service or organization. Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.
There are only two ways to tow your vehicle.
Flat-bed Equipment − The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel-lif t Equipment − The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lift them off the ground. The other two tires remain on the ground.
This is an acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
If, due to damage, your vehicle must be towed with the front wheels on the ground, do the following:
Release the parking brake.
Shift the transmission to Neutral.
Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If you cannot shif t the transmission or start the engine, your vehicle must be transported with the f ront wheels of f the ground.
With the front wheels on the ground, it is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 miles (80 km), and keep the speed below 35 mph (55 km/h).
If your vehicle is equipped with a front spoiler, remove it before towing so it is not damaged.
Trying to lif t or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage.
The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.

０４／０７／１６ １３：２７：１１ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１９０
If you decide to tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, make sure you use a properlydesigned and attached tow bar.
Prepare the vehicle for towing as described above, and leave the ignition switch in Accessory (I) so the steering wheel does not lock.
Make sure the radio and any items plugged into the accessory power socket are turned off so they do not run down the battery.
The steering system can be damaged if the steering wheel is locked. Leave the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I), and make sure the steering wheel turns f reely bef ore you begin towing.

Identification Numbers
Your vehicle has several identifying numbers located in various places.
The Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) is the 17-digit number your dealer uses to register your vehicle for warranty purposes. It is also necessary for licensing and insuring your vehicle. The easiest place to find the VIN is on a plate fastened to the top of the dashboard. You can see it by looking through the windshield on the driver’s side. It is also on the Certification label attached to the driver’s doorjamb, and is stamped on the engine compartment bulkhead. The VIN is also provided in bar code on the
Certification label.

DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles)
The tires on your vehicle meet all
U.S. Federal Safety Requirements.
All tires are also graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according to
Department of Transportation
(DOT) standards. The following explains these gradings.
Unif orm Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and the maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and onehalf (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction − AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
194
０４／０７／１６ １３：２８：３９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０１９８
DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles), Tire Labeling
Temperature − A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance, which all passenger vehicle tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
Tire Labeling
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you should be aware of are described below.
Tire Size
Whenever tires are replaced, they should be replaced with tires of the same size. Following is an example of tire size with an explanation of what each component means.

Emissions Controls
The burning of gasoline in your vehicle’s engine produces several byproducts. Some of these are carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC).
Gasoline evaporating from the tank also produces hydrocarbons. Controlling the production of NOx, CO, and HC is important to the environment. Under certain conditions of sunlight and climate, NOx and HC react to form photochemical ‘‘smog.’’
Carbon monoxide does not contribute to smog creation, but it is a poisonous gas.
The Clean Air Act
The United States Clean Air Act ＊ sets standards for automobile emissions. It also requires that automobile manufacturers explain to owners how their emissions controls work and what to do to maintain them. This section summarizes how the emissions controls work.
Scheduled maintenance is on page
131 .
＊ In Canada, Honda vehicles comply with the Canadian emission requirements, as specified in an agreement with Environment
Canada, at the time they are manufactured.
Crankcase Emissions Control
System
Your vehicle has a positive crankcase ventilation system. This keeps gasses that build up in the engine’s crankcase from going into the atmosphere. The positive
196 crankcase ventilation valve routes them from the crankcase back to the intake manifold. They are then drawn into the engine and burned.
Evaporative Emissions Control
System
As gasoline evaporates in the fuel tank, an evaporative emissions control canister filled with charcoal adsorbs the vapor. It is stored in this canister while the engine is off. After the engine is started and warmed up, the vapor is drawn into the engine and burned during driving.
Onboard Ref ueling Vapor
Recovery
The onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) system captures the fuel vapors during refueling. The vapors are adsorbed in a canister filled with activated carbon. While driving, the fuel vapors are drawn into the engine and burned off.
０４／０７／１６ １３：２９：０２ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０２００
Emissions Controls
Exhaust Emissions Controls
The exhaust emissions controls include three systems: PGM-FI, ignition timing control, and three way catalytic converter. These three systems work together to control the engine’s combustion and minimize the amount of HC, CO, and NOx that comes out the tailpipe. The exhaust emissions control systems are separate from the crankcase and evaporative emissions control systems.
PGM-FI System
The PGM-FI System uses sequential multiport fuel injection.
It has three subsystems: air intake, engine control, and fuel control. The engine control module (ECM) uses various sensors to determine how much air is going into the engine. It then controls how much fuel to inject under all operating conditions.
Ignition Timing Control System
This system constantly adjusts the ignition timing, reducing the amount of HC, CO, and NOx produced.
Three Way Catalytic Converter
The three way catalytic converter is in the exhaust system. Through chemical reactions, it converts HC,
CO, and NOx in the engine’s exhaust
Replacement Parts
The emissions control systems are designed and certified to work together in reducing emissions to levels that comply with the Clean Air
Act. To make sure the emissions remain low, you should use only new
Honda replacement parts or their equivalent for repairs. Using lower quality parts may increase the emissions from your vehicle.
The emissions control systems are covered by warranties separate from the rest of your vehicle. Read your warranty manual for more information.
197
０４／０７／１６ １３：２９：１０ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０２０１
Three Way Catalytic Converter
The three way catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter is referred to as a three-way catalyst, since it acts on HC, CO, and NOx. A replacement unit must be an original Honda part or its equivalent.
The three way catalytic converter must operate at a high temperature for the chemical reactions to take place. It can set on fire any combustible materials that come near it.
Park your vehicle away from high grass, dry leaves, or other flammables.
THREE WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER
A defective three way catalytic converter contributes to air pollution, and can impair your engine’s performance. Follow these guidelines to protect your vehicle’s three way catalytic converter.
Always use unleaded gasoline.
Even a small amount of leaded gasoline can contaminate the catalyst metals, making the three way catalytic converter ineffective.
Keep the engine tuned-up.
Have your vehicle diagnosed and repaired if it is misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or otherwise not running properly.

０４／０７／１６ １３：２９：１９ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０２０２
State Emissions Testing
Testing of Readiness Codes
If you take your vehicle for a state emissions test shortly after the battery has been disconnected or gone dead, it may not pass the test.
This is because of certain ‘‘readiness codes’’ that must be set in the onboard diagnostics for the emissions systems. These codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If the testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you will be requested to return at a later date to complete the test. If you must get the vehicle re-tested within the next two or three days, you can condition the vehicle for retesting by doing the following.
Make sure the gas tank is nearly, but not completely, full (around
3/4).
Make sure the vehicle has been parked with the engine off for 8 hours or more.
Make sure the ambient temperature is between 20° and
95°F.
Without touching the accelerator pedal, start the engine, and let it idle for 20 seconds.
Keep the vehicle in Neutral.
Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there until the temperature gauge rises to at least
1/4 of the scale (about 3 minutes).
199
０４／０７／１６ １３：２９：２５ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６３０ ０２０３
State Emissions Testing
Select a nearby lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph
(80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway in
5th. Do not use the cruise control.
When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions, drive for at least
30 seconds, then repeat it two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
Then drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes.
When traffic conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
If the testing facility determines the readiness codes are still not set, see your dealer.
