About This Technology Reference Guide

This Technology Reference Guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your new Honda, and to provide reference instructions on driving controls and convenience items.

However, this guide is not intended as a substitute for the Owner’s Manual. For complete information on operating the

vehicle safely, please refer to the Owner’s Manual. As with the Owner’s Manual, this guide covers all models of the

Honda Insight. Therefore, you may find descriptions of

equipment and features that are not on your particular model.

Safety Reminder

Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace your 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.

Fuel Recommendation

• Use only 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 emissions control system. Always use MMT-free gasoline if alternatives exist. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMT may not be covered under warranty.

• 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 www.hondacars.com.
