Ignition Switch
The combined ignition switch/anti-theft lock is located on the right side of the steering column and has four positions: 0-LOCK position: The key can be removed or inserted in this
position. To remove the key, push it in at position I, then turn it to
0 and pull it out. When the key is removed, the steering column
will lock.
NOTE:
On cars equipped with automatic transmissions, the transmission
must be in Park before pushing and turning the key to the 0-LOCK
position.
Never turn the ignition switch to the lock position or remove the
key while the car is in motion; the steering wheel can lock causing
a loss of directional control, and an accident could result. I-ACCESSORY position: In this position, the accessory circuit is
on, but the ignition circuit is off.
If the key is difficult to turn from the 0 to the I position, turn the
steering wheel slightly to relieve pressure on the lock. II-ON position: This is the normal running position.
III-START position: The starter will engage when the key is
turned to this position.
To remind you to remove the ignition key when leaving your car, a beeper will sound if the key is still in the ignition when you open the
driver's door. The beeper system is deactivated when you turn the ignition to 0 (Lock) and fully remove the key.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu s t
CAUTION:
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold.(After the car has been parked for more than 3 hours or driven
less than 1 mile/1.6 km.)
Tire pressure may increase as much as 41 kPa (6 psi) when the
tire is hot, so NEVER ADJUST tire pressure when the tires are hot.
Never inflate load range B tires to more than 220 kPa (32 psi)
cold.
Cars with luggage racks or cartop carriers DO NOT have greater
load limits than those on the label.
Winter Driving Tires marked "M + S" or "all season" have an all-weather treaddesign and should be suitable for most driving conditions. However,
snow tires and tire chains may be required under some conditions. Ifyour tires do not have these markings, they may not be suitable forwinter driving conditions. We recommend snow tires or tire chainsfor snow and icy conditions.
Snow TiresIf you use snow tires, they should be of the same size, construction
and load capacity as the original tires on your car. Snow tires must
be installed in sets of four, or they may cause poor handling. Driving
with snow tires on dry roads can reduce your car's performance
during acceleration, turning and stopping.
If you need further information on snow tires, please contact your
Honda dealer.
Tire Chains
Use chains only when you have to. Check with local authorities or
Provinces for requirements prior to installing tire chains. Make sure
the chains are the right size for your tires. Install them only on the
drive wheels of your car, and do so as tightly as possible, following
the manufacturer's instructions. If metal chains are used, they must
be SAE Class "S." Cable type traction devices can also be used.
Drive slowly with chains installed. If you hear the chains contacting
your car's body or chassis, stop and tighten them.
