SAFETY REMIN DE R
Owner Link allows you to explore features and technologies specific to your vehicle,
schedule service appointments, obtain and update maintenance and service records,
manage your financial services account, and access other useful information. Register
at www.owners.honda.com to assure that you continue to enjoy the experience of
owning a Honda.
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.
FUEL RECOMME ND AT IO N
• 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 emissions control system. Always use
MMT-free gasoline if available. 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.owners.honda.com.
