TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

DRIVING POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM (DPMS)

Monitors the vehicle’s tire pressures.

How It Works

What to Do

Each tire valve stem contains a TPMS sensor.

When the tire pressure drops significantly below recommended levels, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message appears on the MID.

Store a driver’s seat and mirror position into memory for each keyless remote.

Programming DPMS

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Shift into Park (P).

2. Adjust the seat and outside mirrors to your preferred settings.

3. Press SET. You will hear a beep.

4. Press the memory button corresponding to the remote (1 or 2) you are using. You will hear two beeps.

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.

Note: A stored memory position is linked to the corresponding keyless remote (1 or 2). Each item begins to adjust when you unlock the driver’s door with the remote and enter the vehicle.

MU LTI-VIEW REAR C AMERA

RE VERSE TILT DO OR MIRRORS

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 navigation display.

• Yellow parking guide lines also appear to help you judge distance.

• The rearview display turns off when you shift out of Reverse.

Adjusting the View

Turning the Guide Lines On or Off

Press and hold CANCEL for about 3 seconds.

Switching Views

There are 3 rearview modes: wide, normal, and top down.

• Press ENTER to toggle between views.

Wide

When you shift into Reverse (R), you can tilt either outside door mirror down slightly to improve your view as you parallel park. Shifting out of Reverse returns the tilted mirror to its original position.

How It Works

• To tilt the driver’s door mirror, move the mirror selector switch to the left (L) position.

• To tilt the passenger’s side door mirror, move the mirror selector switch to the right (R) position.

• To turn the feature off, move the switch to the middle position.

OW NER LINK

SA FETY REMINDER

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 owners.honda.com to ensure 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.

FU EL RECOMMENDA TI ON

• 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.
