Event Data Recorders

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as law enforcement that have the special equipment can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.

Service Diagnostic Recorders

This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record information about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions law requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It may also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but it remains conﬁdential. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is uploaded to Honda upon vehicle start up.

SPORT HYBRID i-MMD

Your SPORT HYBRID i-MMD vehicle uses both an electric motor and a gasoline engine as propulsion sources, with the electric motor receiving electricity from an internal High Voltage battery or internal generator. The High Voltage battery can be charged from the generator driven by the engine or regenerative braking.

Energy Efﬁciency As with a gasoline-powered vehicle, hybrid vehicle fuel efﬁciency and driving

range is most impacted by your driving style. Aggressive acceleration and high- speed driving can easily trigger the system to switch the propulsion source to the gasoline-powered engine. In addition, heavy climate control system use negatively affects vehicle range and efﬁciency. Either of these use patterns will more quickly reduce the High Voltage battery’s state of charge.

Battery Types There are two types of batteries used in this vehicle; a standard 12-volt battery

that powers the airbags, the interior and exterior lights, and other standard 12- volt systems; and a high voltage battery that is used to power the propulsion motors and recharge the 12-volt battery.

VISUAL INDEX

| 3

The High Voltage battery gradually discharges when the vehicle is not in use. As a result, if your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time, the battery level may get low. Keeping your vehicle's battery level low can shorten the battery life. To maintain the battery, drive your vehicle for more than 30 minutes to recharge the battery at least once every three months.

To help maintain the battery life, when parking under the direct sunlight during summer, try to ﬁnd a shaded area.

Regenerative Energy and Regenerative Braking When decelerating without the accelerator being depressed or the brake pedal

being applied, or while driving downhill, the electric motors act as generators that recovers a portion of the electrical energy that was used to accelerate the vehicle. This regenerative braking slows the vehicle in a manner similar to engine braking in a gasoline-powered vehicle.

When the high voltage battery is fully charged or its condition is affected by extreme temperatures or other factors, regenerative braking may not work.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important and operating this vehicle safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make informed decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. Therefore, you must use your own good judgment.

Important Safety Information

This guide explains many of your vehicle's safety features and how to use them. Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also help to keep you and your passengers safe.

n Important Safety Precautions

• Always wear your seat belt.

• Secure all children in the proper restraint system.

• Be aware of airbag hazards.

• Don't drink and drive.

• Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.

• Control your speed.

• Keep your vehicle in safe condition.

• Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.

Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash. Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to divert some attention away from driving.

Safety Messages

When you see the following messages throughout this guide, pay close attention.

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions. This information is intended to help you avoid

damage to your vehicle, other property, or the environment.

SAFETY INFORMATION

n Carbon Monoxide Gas

The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle and follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.

Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:

• The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.

• The exhaust system may have been damaged.

• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.

When you operate a vehicle with the trunk open, airﬂow can pull exhaust gas into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the trunk open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown below:

1. Select the fresh air mode.

2. Select the mode.

3. Set the fan speed to high.

4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting. Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your

parked vehicle with the engine running.

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.

An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly ﬁll up with carbon monoxide gas. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.

Seat Belts

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.

Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts

All ﬁve seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move

SAFETY INFORMATION

6 |

freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor locks to restrain your body. The front passenger's and rear seat belts also have a lockable retractor for use with child seats.

n Proper Use of Seat Belts

Follow these guidelines for proper use:

• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in the position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.

• 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 the seat belts. Devices intended to improve comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

• No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that does not appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as soon as possible.

Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a 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.

n Seat Belt Inspection

Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:

• Pull each belt out fully and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.

• Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts retract easily. If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Only use mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make sure the belt is completely dry before allowing it to retract.

Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.

SAFETY INFORMATION

| 7

A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after any collision.

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.

Fastening a Seat Belt

Adjust your seat to the proper position and then follow the steps below:

1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.

2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is secure. Make sure that the belt is not twisted or caught on anything.

3. 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

8 |

4. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to remove any slack, then make sure 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.

To release the belt, push the red PRESS button then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted completely. When exiting the vehicle, be sure the belt is properly stowed so that it will not get caught in the closing door.

Improperly positioning the seat belt can cause serious injury or death in a crash.

Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.

n Adjusting the Shoulder Anchor

The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller and shorter occupants.

1. Move the anchor up and down while pulling the shoulder anchor outward.

2. Position the anchor so that the belt rests across the center of your chest and over your shoulder.

Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with several types of airbags: front airbags, side airbags, and side curtain airbags.

Front Airbags (SRS)

The front SRS airbags inﬂate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.

SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant's primary restraint system.

SAFETY INFORMATION

| 9

n Advanced Airbags

The airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag related injuries to smaller occupants.

The driver's advanced airbag system includes a seat position sensor. Based on information from this sensor and the severity of the impact, the advanced airbag system determines the optimal deployment of the driver's airbag.

The front passenger's advanced airbag system has weight sensors. We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the front

passenger's seat. However, if you do allow a child age 12 or under to ride in the front passenger's seat, note that the system will automatically turn off the front passenger's airbag if the sensors detect that the child is approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less.

For the advanced airbags to work properly:

• Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.

• Make sure the ﬂoor mat behind the front passenger's seat is hooked to the ﬂoor mat anchor. An improperly placed mat can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.

• Do not put any object under the passenger's seat.

• Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the ﬂoor. Improperly positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.

• All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.

• Do not cover the passenger's side dashboard with a cloth, towel, cover, etc.

• Make sure the ﬂoor mat behind the front passenger's seat is hooked to the ﬂoor mat anchor. An improperly placed mat can interfere with the advances airbag sensors.

n Side Airbags

The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver or a front passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed

SAFETY INFORMATION

10 |

in the outside edge of the driver's and front passenger's seat-backs. Both are marked SIDE AIRBAG.

When the sensors detect a moderate-to-severe side impact, the control unit signals the side airbag on the impact side to immediately inﬂate.

Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere with the proper operation of the airbags or hurt someone if an airbag

inﬂates.

Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers without consulting a dealer. This can prevent your side airbags from properly deploying during a side impact.

n Side Curtain Airbags

Side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover crashes.

The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the side windows on both sides of the vehicle.

The side curtain airbags are designed to deploy in a rollover or moderate- to-severe side impact.

If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is about to roll over, it immediately deploys both side curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt tensioners.

If the impact is on the passenger's side, the passenger's side curtain airbag deploys even if there are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.

To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.

Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.

SAFETY INFORMATION

| 11

When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision

One or both side curtain airbags may inﬂate in a moderate-to-severe angled frontal collision.

n Important Facts About Your Airbags

Airbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inﬂate with tremendous force. So, while airbags help save lives, they can cause burns, bruises, and other minor injuries, sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing their seat belts properly and sitting correctly.

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. Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can occur in a severe crash, even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags deploy.

Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front 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 front 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.

Airbag System Indicators

If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and a message appears on the Driver Information Interface.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Indicator

When the power mode is set to ON, the indicator comes on for a few seconds, then goes off. This tells you the system is working properly.

If the indicator comes on at any other time besides vehicle start-up or does not come on at all, have the system checked by a dealer as soon as possible. If you don't, your airbags and seat belt tensioners may not work properly when they are needed.

SAFETY INFORMATION

12 |

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.

Passenger Airbag Off Indicator

The indicator comes on to alert you that the front passenger’s front airbag has been turned off. This occurs when the front passenger’s weight sensors detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an infant or small child, on the seat.

Children age 12 or under should always ride properly restrained in a back seat.

If the front passenger's seat is empty, the passenger's front airbag will not deploy and the indicator will come on.

To ensure the passenger is detected properly, conﬁrm that:

• There is no child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.

• There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger's seat.

• The front seat or seat-back is not forced back against an object on the seat or ﬂoor behind it.

• There is no object placed under or beside the front passenger's seat.

• The occupant is sitting in an upright position and the seat-back is not excessively reclined.

• The occupant is not leaning against the door or center console.

• The occupant's feet are placed on the ﬂoor in front of them.

• There are no objects hanging from the front passenger's seat.

• Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back pocket.

The passenger front airbag off indicator may come on and go off repeatedly if the total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.

Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if:

• All of the above conditions are met and the indicator comes on with an adult seated in the front passenger seat.

SAFETY INFORMATION

| 13

• The seat is empty and the indicator is off

Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the indicator is on.

SAFETY INFORMATION

14 |

n Airbag System Components

1. 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.

2. Two side airbags, one for the driver and one for a front passenger. The airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seat-backs. Both are marked SIDE AIRBAG.

3. Two side curtain airbags, one for each side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored in the ceiling, above the side windows. The front and rear pillars are marked SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG.

4. An electronic control unit that, when the power mode is ON, continually monitors information about the various impact sensors, seat and buckle sensors, rollover sensor, airbag activators, seat belt tensioners, and other vehicle information. During a crash event the unit can record such information.

5. Automatic front seat belt tensioners. In addition, the driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckles incorporate sensors that detect whether or not the belts are fastened.

6. A driver’s seat position sensor. This sensor determines the optimal force at which the airbag will deploy in a crash.

7. Weight sensors in the front passenger’s seat. The front passenger’s airbag will be turned off if the weight on the seat is approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the weight of an infant or small child).

SAFETY INFORMATION

| 15

8. Impact sensors that can detect a moderate-to-severe front or side impact.

9. An indicator on the dashboard that alerts you that the front passenger’s side airbag has been turned off.

10. An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem with the airbag system or seat belt tensioners.

11. A rollover sensor that can detect if your vehicle is about to roll over and signal the control unit to deploy both side curtain airbags.

n Airbag Care

You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle inspected by a dealer in the following situations:

When the airbags have deployed

If an airbag has inﬂated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced. Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be replaced.

When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision

Even if the airbags did not inﬂate, have your dealer inspect the following: the driver’s seat position sensor, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, front seat belt tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.

Do not remove or modify a front seat without ﬁrst consulting a dealer

This would likely disable or affect the driver’s seat position sensor or the weight sensors in the passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a Honda dealer. For U.S. vehicles, call Honda Automobile Customer Service at (800) 999-1009. For Canadian vehicles, call Honda Canada Customer Relations at (888) 946-6329.

Child Safety

Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle collisions are the number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.

The National Highway Trafﬁc Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a rear seat. Some states or provinces/territories have laws restricting where children may ride.

SAFETY INFORMATION

16 |

To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian province, and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained when they ride in a vehicle.

n Protecting Child Passengers – Important Considerations

• An inﬂating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting in the front seat.

• A child in the front seat is more likely to interfere with the driver's ability to safely control the vehicle.

• Statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when they are properly restrained in a rear seat.

• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in an approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either the lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH system.

• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the event of a collision.

• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.

• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very seriously injured in a crash.

• Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjustments.

• Do not leave children, pets or people needing assistance in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate vehicle controls, causing it to move unexpectedly.

To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.

SAFETY INFORMATION

| 17

To remind you of the passenger’s front airbag hazards and child safety, 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.

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, using a booster seat if necessary.

Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck can result in serious injury or death.

Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unused seat belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.

n Protecting Infants

An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the infant reaches the seat manufacturer’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the infant is at least one year old. Many experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat for a child up to two years old if the child’s height and weight are appropriate for a rear-facing seat.

Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear seating position. Rear- facing child seats should never be installed in a forward-facing position. When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back in the desired position.

Make sure that there is no contact between the child seat and the seat in front of it. It can also interfere with proper operation of the front passenger’s advanced front airbag system. If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front passenger’s 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

18 |

Always refer to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions before installation.

Do not allow a front seat to rest against a child seat installed in a rear seating position: The weight sensor in the front seat may not correctly detect the actual weight of the occupant.

Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death during a crash.

Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.

n Protecting Smaller Children

If a child is at least one year old and has exceeded the weight and height limitations of a rearward-facing child seat, the child should be properly restrained in a ﬁrmly secured forward-facing child seat until they exceed the weight and height limitations for the forward-facing child seat.

We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a rear seating position. Placing a forward- facing child seat in the front seat can be hazardous, even with advanced front airbags that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off. A rear seat is the safest place for a child.

Educate yourself about the laws and regulations regarding child seat use where you are driving, and follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.

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 forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.

Selecting a Child Seat

Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a ﬂexible- type connector. Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child seats can only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions

SAFETY INFORMATION

| 19

including recommended expiration dates as well as the instructions in this guide. Proper installation is key to maximizing your child’s safety.

In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH compatible child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they can be secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/ shoulder belt. In addition, the child seat manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-compatible seat once a child reaches a speciﬁed weight. Please read the child seat owner’s manual for proper installation instructions.

Important considerations when selecting a child seat

Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:

• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.

• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.

• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

n Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat

A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in either of the two outer rear seats. A child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid or ﬂexible type of connectors.

1. Locate the anchor marks afﬁxed to the base of the seat cushion.

2. Pull out the anchor covers under the marks to expose the lower anchors.

SAFETY INFORMATION

20 |

3. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then attach the child seat to the lower anchors according to the instructions that came with the child seat. When installing the child seat, make sure that the lower anchors are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other object.

4. Open the tether anchor cover behind the head restraint. See next page for Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the rear center seat.

5. Route the tether strap over the top of the head restraint and secure the tether strap hook to the anchor. Make sure the strap is not twisted.

6. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.

7. Make sure the child seat is ﬁrmly secured by rocking it forward and back and side to side; little movement should be felt.

8. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and locked.

For your child’s safety, when using a child seat installed using the LATCH system, make sure that the child seat is properly secured to the vehicle. A

SAFETY INFORMATION

| 21

child seat that is not properly secured will not adequately protect a child in a crash and may cause injury to the child or other vehicle occupants.

Never attach two child seats to the same anchor. In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child seats

attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death.

Do not use the lower inner anchors of the outer rear seats to secure a LATCH-compatible child seat to the rear center seat, unless the child seat manufacturer's instructions for that system permit the use of inner anchors with the stated spacing.

Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the rear center seat

Each outer rear seat is equipped with a pair of lower anchors which are used to secure a LATCH-compatible child seat. The rear center seat, however, is not equipped with anchors of any kind.

The inner and outer anchors are spaced apart at a standard distance of 11 inches (280 mm).

The distance between the two inner anchors is:

• 15.0 inches (380 mm)

LATCH-compatible restraint systems that are ﬁtted with rigid-type attachments cannot be installed in the rear center seat. However, a system ﬁtted with ﬂexible-type attachments can be installed in the center seat, provided that the manufacturer’s instructions for that system permit the use of the inner anchors with the stated spacing.

Before seating a child, make sure that the system is properly attached to both the lower anchors and tether anchors.

n Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt

A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat or, if absolutely necessary, the front passenger seat.

SAFETY INFORMATION

22 |

1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.

2. Route the seat belt through the child seat according to the seat manufacturer’s instructions, and insert the latch plate into the buckle. Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.

3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it stops. This activates the lockable retractor.

4. Let the seat belt retract a few inches and check that the retractor has switched modes by pulling on the webbing. It should not pull out again until it is reset by removing the latch plate from the buckle. If you are able to pull the shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not activated. Slowly pull the seat belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 4.

5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt. When doing this, place your weight on the child seat and push it into the vehicle seat.

6. Make sure the child seat is ﬁrmly secured by rocking it forward and back, and side to side; less than one inch of movement should occur near the seat belt.

7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled. The lockable retractor is activated and the seat belt fully retracted and locked.

To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.

n Adding Security with a Tether

A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position. If you have a child seat that comes with a tether, but can be installed with a seat belt, the tether may be used for additional security. Always use a tether for forward facing child seats when using the seat belt or lower anchors.

1. Locate the appropriate tether anchorage point. Lift the cover.

2. Route the tether strap over the head restraint. Make sure the strap is not twisted.

For the center position: Route the tether strap over the head restraint. Make sure the strap is not twisted.

3. Secure the tether strap hook to the anchor.

4. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.

SAFETY INFORMATION

24 |

n Protecting Larger Children

When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the lap/shoulder seat belt.

Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:

• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge of the seat.

• The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s neck and arm.

• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs.

• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.

If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat in a rear seat. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.

When installing a booster seat, make sure to read the instructions that came with it, and install the seat accordingly.

There are high- and low-type booster seats. Choose a booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat belt correctly.

Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories 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 province/territory where you intend to drive.

Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the 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 to the rear as possible, have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly, using a booster seat if needed.

Adjusting the Front Seats

Always make seat adjustments before driving. Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as

possible while allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright and well back in the seat, adequately press the pedals without leaning forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be adjusted so that it is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard as possible.

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.

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 while maintaining control of the vehicle.

Adjusting the Head Restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. Head restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other rear-impact crash injuries when the center of the back of the occupant's head rests against the center of the restraint. The tops of the occupant's ears should be level with the center height of the restraint.

For a head restraint system to work properly:

• Do not hang any items on the head restraints or from the restraint legs.

• Do not place any objects between an occupant and the seat-back.

*1 - If equipped

VEHICLE CONTROLS

• Install each restraint in its proper location.

Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.

Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving.

n Adjusting the Front Head Restraints

To raise: Pull it upward.

To lower: Push it down while pressing the release button.

n Removing and Reinstalling the Head Restraints

Head restraints can be removed for cleaning or repair.

To remove: Pull the restraint up as far as it will go. Then push the release

button, and pull the restraint up and out.

To reinstall: Insert the legs back in place, then adjust the head restraint to

an appropriate height while pressing the release button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.

Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can result in severe injury during a crash.

Always replace the head restraints before driving.

VEHICLE CONTROLS

Maintain a Proper Seating Position

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their 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 safely 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.

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.

DRIVING

Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features.

Before Driving

Check the following items before you begin driving.

n Exterior Checks

• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior lights, or other parts of the vehicle.

• Remove any frost, snow, or ice.

• Make sure the hood is securely closed.

• Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite ﬂammable materials left under the hood, causing a ﬁre. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small animal. Also check under the hood for leftover ﬂammable materials after you or someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.

• Make sure the tires are in good condition.

• Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.

If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.

Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder. You will be unable to insert the key if the water freezes in the hole.

Interior Checks

• Store or secure all items on board properly.

• Do not pile items higher than the seat height.

• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure the ﬂoor mats.

• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely in the vehicle.

• Securely close and lock all doors and the trunk.

• Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.

DRIVING

| 99

• Make sure items placed on the ﬂoor behind the front seats cannot roll under the seats.

• Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.

• Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you start the vehicle, and go off soon after. Always have a dealer check the vehicle if a problem is indicated.

In addition:

• During the ﬁrst 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so as to not damage the engine or powertrain.

• Avoid hard braking for the ﬁrst 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this when the brake pads are replaced.

Maximum Load Limit

Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle’s handling, stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe. See the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver’s doorjamb.

n Maximum Load For Your Vehicle

The maximum load for your vehicle type is:

• 850 lbs (385 kg)

This ﬁgure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Below are the steps for determining the correct load limit:

1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

DRIVING

100 |

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting ﬁgure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. (635 kg) and there will be ﬁve 150 lbs. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x

150) = 650 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 calculated in step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the Owner’s Manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories, cargo, and trailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.

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 guide.

DRIVING

| 101

The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory, and does not need to be adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area or tow a trailer, have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualiﬁed technician.

Signs your engine is overheating:

• Steam or spray comes out from under the hood.

• The message Engine Temperature Too Hot. Do Not Drive. Allow Engine To Cool appears on the display.

First thing to do:

1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.

2. If no steam or spray is present: Keep the vehicle running and open the hood (See Under the Hood).

If steam or spray is present: Turn off the power system and wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood (See Under the Hood).

3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and turn the power system off once the high temperature indicator goes off and the message on the driver information interface goes off. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately turn the power system off.

4. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in the reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator cap with a heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the ﬁller neck, and put the cap back on.

Once the engine has cooled sufﬁciently, turn the power system on. If the Engine Temperature Too Hot. Do Not Drive. Allow Engine To Cool. message does not appear, resume driving. If it stays on, contact a dealer for repairs.

If the coolant is leaking, contact a dealer for repairs.

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED

132 |

Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only. Have a dealer ﬂush the system with proper antifreeze as soon as possible.

Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you. Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.

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.

Emergency Power System Off

The POWER button may be used to turn the power system off due to an emergency situation even while driving. If you must turn the power system off, choose one of the following operations:

• Press and hold the POWER button for two seconds, or

• Firmly press the POWER button three times.

The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the power system disables the power assist the power system provides to the steering and braking systems, it will require signiﬁcantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.

The gear position automatically changes to Park (P) after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.

Do not press the POWER button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the power system to be switched off. If you press the POWER button while driving, the beeper sounds.

Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED

| 133

Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way to transport your vehicle.

Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to tow your vehicle.

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.

Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the transmission. Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous since ropes or chains may shift from side to side or break.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Instead of directly measuring the pressure in each tire, the TPMS on this vehicle monitors and compares the rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each wheel and tire while you are driving to determine if one or more tires are signiﬁcantly under-inﬂated. This will cause the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator to come on and a message to appear on the driver information interface.

Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink

If your vehicle's tire pressure becomes signiﬁcantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated. If there is a problem with the TPMS or the compact spare tire

is installed, the indicator blinks for about one minute, and then stays on.

n What to Do

If the indicator comes on and stays on, stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure to the speciﬁed level. The speciﬁed tire pressure is on a label on the driver's doorjamb.

If the indicator blinks, have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact spare tire causes the indicator to blink, change the tire to full-size tire. The indicator goes off after driving for a few miles (kilometers).

Driving on an extremely underinﬂated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always inﬂate your tires to the prescribed level.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation

U.S. models Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inﬂated to the inﬂation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inﬂation pressure label.

(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inﬂation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inﬂation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is signiﬁcantly under-inﬂated.

*1 - If equipped

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED

| 135

Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inﬂate them to the proper pressure.

Driving on a signiﬁcantly under-inﬂated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inﬂation also reduces fuel efﬁciency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inﬂation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will ﬂash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Fixing a Tire

If a tire goes ﬂat while driving, grasp the steering wheel ﬁrmly and brake gradually to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.

Use the temporary repair kit*1 to temporarily repair the tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or replaced.

n Getting Ready to Temporarily Repair the Flat Tire

If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the vehicle towed. If the tire only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance (do not remove the nail), you can use the temporary tire repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station for a more permanent repair.

The kit should not be used in the following situations. Instead, contact a dealer or roadside assistance to have the vehicle towed.

7. Press the inﬂator switch to turn on the compressor. The compressor starts injecting sealant and air into the tire. When the sealant injection is complete continue to add air.

8. Models with 215/55R16 93V tires: After the air pressure reaches front: 35 psi (240 kPa)/rear: 33 psi (230 kPa), turn off the kit. To check the pressure, occasionally turn off the compressor and read the gauge.

9. Models with215/50R17 91H tires: After the air pressure reaches front: 35 psi (240 kPa) rear: 32 psi (220 kPa), turn off the kit.

10. Unplug the power plug from the accessory power socket.

11. Unscrew the sealant/air hose from the tire valve stem. Reinstall the valve cap.

12. Press the pressure relief button until the gauge returns to 0 psi (0 kPa).

13. Apply the repair notiﬁcation label to the ﬂat surface of the wheel. The wheel surface must be clean to ensure the label adheres properly.

Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit compressor for more than 15 minutes. The compressor can overheat and become permanently damaged.

Tire sealant contains substances that are harmful and can be fatal if swallowed.

If accidentally swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water and get medical attention immediately. For skin or eye contact, ﬂush with cool water and get medical attention if

necessary.

Running the engine with the vehicle in an enclosed or even partly enclosed area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon monoxide.

Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can cause unconsciousness and even death.

Only run the engine to power the air compressor with the vehicle outdoors.

Engine Coolant

Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant level in the radiator. Use Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.

n Checking the Reserve Tank

1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.

2. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve tank.

If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add the speciﬁed coolant until it reaches the MAX mark.

3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.

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.

Honda Genuine engine coolant is a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water that can withstand freezing at temperatures as low as -31°F (-35°C). If your vehicle is consistently subjected to temperatures below this, the concentration of antifreeze in the coolant should be increased. Consult a dealer for details.

If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not available, you may use another major brand of non-silicate coolant as a temporary replacement. Check that 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.

Do not add rust inhibitors or other additives to your vehicle's cooling system. They may not be compatible with the coolant or with the engine components.

Tire Information

To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and properly inﬂated.

n Inﬂation Guidelines

• Properly inﬂated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or see SPECIFICATIONS for the speciﬁed pressure.

• Underinﬂated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from overheating.

• Overinﬂated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards, and wear unevenly.

MAINTENANCE

| 163

• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.

• Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add or release air until the speciﬁed pressure is reached. If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi (30-40 kPa,

0.3-0.4 kgf/cm2) higher than checked when cold.

• At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in all tires, including the spare*1. Even tires in good condition can lose 1-2 psi (10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm2) per month.

n Inspection Guidelines

Every time you inﬂate the tires, check for the following:

• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tread. Replace the tire if you ﬁnd any cuts, splits, or cracks in the side of the tire. Replace it if you see fabric or cord.

• Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if you see fabric or cord.

• Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.

• Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.

Vehicles with optional spare tire: Check the spare tire pressure once a month or before long trips.

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 the owner’s manual regarding tire inﬂation and maintenance.

The groove where the wear indicator is located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor traction on wet roads.

n Tire and Loading Information Label

The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and loading information.

1. The number of people your vehicle can carry.

2. The total weight your vehicle can carry. Do not exceed this weight.

3. The original tire sizes for front, rear, and spare*1.

4. The proper cold tire pressure for front, rear, and spare*1.

*1 - If equipped

n Tire and Wheel Replacement

Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire sidewall). Using tires of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems such as the ABS and Vehicle Stability Assist® (VSA®) system to work incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.

Make sure that the wheel's speciﬁcations match those of the original wheels.

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 the Owner’s

Manual.

n Tire Service Life

The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road conditions, vehicle loading, inﬂation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).

In addition to regular inspections and inﬂation pressure maintenance, it is recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach ﬁve years old. All tires, including the spare*1, should be removed from service after 10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.

n Winter Tires

If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow tires, or tire chains; reduce speed and maintain sufﬁcient distance between vehicles when driving.

Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent skidding. Use tire chains, snow tires, or all season tires when necessary or according to the law.

For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.

*1 - If equipped

MAINTENANCE

166 |

n Tire Chains

Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:

Cable-type: SCC Radial chain SC1032

• Follow the chain manufacturer's instruction when installing. Mount them as tightly as you can.

• Check that the chains do not touch the brake lines or suspension.

• Drive slowly.

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.

When tire chains are mounted, follow the chain manufacturer's instructions regarding vehicle operational limits.

If your vehicle is equipped with summer tires, be aware that these tires are not designed for winter driving conditions. For more information, contact a dealer.

Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.

Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire chains.

Tire Labeling

The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you should be aware of are described below.

Here is an example of what each component means: P235/60R18 102V

MAINTENANCE

| 167

• P: tire type (passenger vehicle)

• 235: tire width in millimeters

• 60: aspect ratio (tire section height as a percentage of its width)

• R: tire construction code (radial)

• 18: rim diameter in inches

• 102: load index (code indicating maximum load tire can carry)

• V: speed symbol (code indicating maximum speed rating)

n Tire Identiﬁcation Number (TIN)

The tire identiﬁcation number (TIN) is a group of numbers and letters that look like the following example. The TIN is located on the sidewall of the tire.

n Glossary of Tire Terminology

Cold Tire Pressure – The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).

Load Rating – The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given inﬂation pressure.

Maximum Inﬂation Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the tire can hold.

Maximum Load Rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum permissible inﬂation pressure for that tire.

Recommended Inﬂation Pressure – The cold tire inﬂation pressure recommended by the manufacturer.

Treadwear Indicators (TWI) – The projections within the principal grooves designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.

DOT Tire Quality Grading

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. These gradings are explained below.

n Uniform Tire Quality Grading

Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A All passenger car 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 one-half (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.

n Traction

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.

MAINTENANCE

| 169

n Temperature

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 car tire 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.

Air Conditioning

U.S. Models

To ensure proper and safe operation, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE J2845) recommends that the refrigerant system only be serviced by trained and certiﬁed technicians.

Never repair or replace the air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.

New replacement mobile air conditioning evaporators must be certiﬁed (and labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.

Vented refrigerant is harmful to the environment. To avoid refrigerant from venting, never replace the evaporator with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.

Refrigerant in your vehicle's air conditioning system is ﬂammable and can be ignited during servicing if proper procedures are not followed.

Accessories and Modiﬁcations

Accessories

When installing accessories, check the following:

• Do not install accessories on the windshield. They can obstruct your view and delay your reaction to driving conditions.

• Do not install any accessories over areas marked SRS AIRBAG, on the sides or backs of the front seats, on front or side pillars, or near the side windows. Accessories installed in these areas may interfere with proper operation of the vehicle's airbags or may be propelled into your or another occupant if the airbags deploy.

• Be sure electronic accessories do not overload electrical circuits or interfere with proper operation of your vehicle.

• Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact a dealer for assistance. If possible, have a dealer inspect the ﬁnal installation.

Modiﬁcations

Do not modify your vehicle in a manner that may affect its handling, stability, or reliability, or install non-genuine Honda parts or accessories that may have similar effect.

Even minor modiﬁcations to vehicle systems can affect overall vehicle performance. Always make sure all equipment id properly installed and maintained, and do not make any modiﬁcation to your vehicle or its systems that might cause your vehicle to no longer meet federal, state, province, territory, and local regulations.

The on-board diagnostic port (OBD-II/SAE J1962 connector) installed on this vehicle is intended to be used with automobile system diagnostic devices or with other devices that Honda has approved. Use of any other type of device may adversely affect the vehicle's electronic systems or allow them to be compromised, possibly resulting in a system malfunction, drained battery, or other unexpected problems.

Do not modify or attempt to repair any of the electrical components.

Improper accessories or modiﬁcations can affect your vehicle's handling, stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow all instructions in this owner's guide regarding accessories and

modiﬁcations.

Testing of Readiness Codes

Your vehicle has readiness codes as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. Some states use these codes for testing to verify whether your vehicle’s emissions components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the testing just after the 12-volt battery has gone dead or been disconnected.

To check if they are set, set the power mode or to ON without starting the engine. The malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks ﬁve times, the readiness codes are not set.

If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:

1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.

2. Park the vehicle and leave the power system off for 6 hours or more.

3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).

4. Turn the power system on.

5. 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 D . Do not use 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).

6. Drive in city or 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.

7. Park the vehicle and leave the power system off for 6 hours.

The readiness codes are erased when the 12-volt battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.

If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be requested to return at a later date to complete the test.

If the testing facility determines the readiness codes are still not set, see a dealer.
