Maintenance Schedule

The Maintenance Schedule specifies how often you should have your carserviced and what things need
attention. It is essential that you have
your car serviced as scheduled to retain its high level of safety,dependability, and emission control
performance. The services and time or distance
intervals shown in the maintenanceschedule assume you will use your
car as normal transportation. You
should:

Avoid exceeding your car's loadlimit. This puts excess stress on
the engine, brakes, and manyother parts of your car. The load
limit is shown on the label on the driver's doorjamb.
Operate your car on reasonable
roads within the legal speed limit. Drive your car regularly over a
distance of several kilometers
(miles).
Always use unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane (see page 108). Which Schedule to Follow:
Service your car according to the
time and mileage periods on one of
the Maintenance Schedules on pages 140 and 141. Select the schedule for
"Severe Conditions" if most of your
driving is done under one or more of
the conditions listed on that page. Otherwise, follow the schedule for
"Normal Conditions."

Maintenance Schedule

Your authorized Honda dealer knows your car best and can providecompetent, efficient service.
However, service at a dealer is not
mandatory to keep your warranties
in effect. Maintenance may be done
by any qualified service facility or
person who is skilled in this type of automotive service. Keep all the
receipts as proof of completion, and
have the person who does the work
fill out the Maintenance Record. Check your warranty booklet for
more information. We recommend the use of Genuine
Honda parts and fluids whenever you
have maintenance done. These are
manufactured to the same high-
quality standards as the original
components, so you can be confident of their perfomance and durability.

U.S. Cars:

Maintenance, replacement or
repair of emission control devices
and systems may be done by any
automotive repair establishment
or individual using parts that are
"certified" to EPA standards. According to state and federal
regulations, failure to performmaintenance on the items marked
with an asterisk (*) will not void your emissions warranties. However,
Honda recommends that all mainte- nance services be performed at the
recommended time or mileage
period to ensure long-term reliability.
