ECO Assist Scoring
Auto Idle Stop
Monitors the fuel efficiency of your driving style in real time and converts results
into leaves, which are displayed in a series of five “plant” icons on the i-MID.
Once you start your vehicle, make sure the i-MID shows the Ecological Drive
Display to view your Eco Assist score in real time.
As you drive, you earn leaves if you drive in a fuel-efficient manner, or lose
them if you drive inefficiently.
When you turn the ignition off, your drive cycle and lifetime score are
displayed on the i-MID.
Shuts the engine off at a stop in order to maximize fuel efficiency. Idle stop
occurrence and duration vary depending on certain conditions, such as climate
control operation, IMA battery level, and outside temperature. See your Owner’s
Manual for more information.
How It Works

TIRE PRES SU RE MONITORI NG SYSTEM ( TP MS)
ONE-TOUCH T URN SIGNA L
Monitors the vehicle’s tire pressures.
How It Works
When the tire pressure drops
significantly below recommended
levels, the low tire pressure
indicator comes on.
What to Do
1. Visually inspect the tires for damage.
2. Use a tire air pressure gauge to check which tire(s)
have low pressure.
3. Inflate the tire(s), if necessary, to the
recommended pressures listed on the label on the
driver’s doorjamb.
If a message also appears on
the i-MID, there may be a
problem with the system. See
your dealer.
Use this quick and convenient method to signal a lane change.
How It Works
• Lightly push the turn signal
lever up or down for a threeblink sequence.
• For a continuous signal, push
the lever up or down until it
locks into place.
AUTO HEADLIGHTS WITH WIPER INTEGRATION
For your convenience, your vehicle’s headlights automatically turn on when you activate
the windshield wipers.
How It Works
• Make sure your headlights are in the AUTO
position.
• Turn on your windshield wipers. The headlights
also turn on.
• When you turn off the windshield wipers, the
headlights turn off shortly after.
12 13
REARVIEW CA MERA
FORWARD C OL LISION WA RN ING (FCW)
For added convenience, the area behind your vehicle is displayed to help you navigate
while backing up.
How It Works
• When you shift into Reverse (R), a real-time
image of the area behind your vehicle is
shown in the display.
• Yellow parking guide lines also appear to help
you judge distance.
• The rearview display turns off when you shift
out of Reverse.
Alerts you to the possibility of a front-end collision.
How It Works
At 10 mph or higher, if the camera mounted between the windshield and the
rearview mirror detects a vehicle in front of you and the system determines that a
collision is likely, the system warns you with visual and audible alerts.
Warning timing depends on Long, Normal, or Short settings.

If you do not brake in time or
take preventive action:
• BRAKE flashes in the i-MID
• a beep sounds
continuously
FCW may not activate under certain conditions. See your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
You can change the distance warning setting and turn the system off in the
Vehicle Menu. See your Owner’s Manual for instructions.

if your vehicle begins to move away from the center of a detected lane while
driving between 40_90 mph.
If you cross a detected lane line
without using your turn signal, a

beep sounds.
LDW may not activate under certain conditions. See your Owner’s Manual for
more information.

SAFETY RE MI NDER
Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add to
the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types of
collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children
are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an
infant seat in the front passenger’s seat as the force of a deploying airbag can
seriously injure an infant.
Notes:
• If Pandora is not selected from your phone, iPod music is played.
• Press the Home button on your iPhone to switch from Pandora to iPod. To play
Pandora again, you must reopen the app from your phone.
• If you cannot operate Pandora through the audio system, it may be streaming
through Bluetooth®Audio. Make sure Pandora mode on your audio system is
selected. If Pandora still does not operate, you may have to reconnect the cable.
• Connect your phone only when your vehicle is stopped.

FUEL RECO MM ENDATION
• Only use unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or higher.
• Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based fuel additive.
Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT can deteriorate your
vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emission control system. Always use
MMT-free gasoline if available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMT
may not be covered under warranty.
• “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” meets a new gasoline standard jointly established
by leading automotive manufacturers to meet the needs of today’s advanced
engines. In most cases, qualifying gasoline retailers will identify their gasoline as
having met “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards at the retail location. This
fuel is guaranteed to contain the proper level of detergent additives and be free of
metallic additives. This helps avoid build-up of deposits in your engine and emission
control system. Because the level of detergency and harmful metallic additives
(such as MMT) in gasoline vary in the market, Honda endorses the use of “TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline” where available to help maintain the performance and
reliability of your vehicle. For more information, visit www.toptiergas.com.
• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car and
information on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your dealer or visit
Owner Link at owners.honda.com.
