Trip Meter
This meter shows the number of miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.
There are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip B. Switch between these
displays by pressing the Select/
Reset button repeatedly. Each trip
meter works independently, so you
can keep track of two different
distances.

To reset a trip meter, display it and then press and hold the Select/Reset
button until the number resets to
"0.0".
Temperature Gauge
This shows the temperature of the
engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise
from the bottom white mark to about
the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill driving, the pointer may rise to near
the upper white mark. If it reaches
the red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. Turn to page 299 for
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine's cooling
system.
Fuel Gauge

This shows how much fuel you have. It is most accurate when the vehicle
is on level ground. It may show slightly more or less than the actual
amount when you are driving on
curvy or hilly roads.
The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition. The
gauge shows the fuel level reading immediately after you turn the
ignition switch back ON (II).

Sliding Doors

Before refueling, make sure the driver's side sliding door is fully
closed. When you release the fuel fill
door with the handle, the sliding door automatically locks so it cannot
be opened and interfere with the fuel fill door. After you close the fuel filldoor, the sliding door does not
automatically unlock; you must
unlock it manually.
When you drive with children in your vehicle, use the childproof doorlocks. This will prevent children
from opening the doors accidentally (see page 85).
How to Reset the Power Sliding
Doors

If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead while the
sliding doors are open, the power
sliding door system needs to besynchronized. After reconnecting
the battery: Close each sliding door completely
by hand; or Move the MAIN switch on the
dashboard to the ON position.
Push and hold the upper side of
each door switch until each sliding
door closes completely.
If the power sliding doors are closed,
the system will reset itself automatically once the battery has
been reconnected. If the power sliding doors do not
operate properly after resetting,
have your vehicle checked by a Honda dealer.
