Upshift Indicator
Manual transmission only
A
“
U/S” (upshift) light will come
on to indicate that you can get
better fuel economy by shifting to
the next higher gear if conditions
permit. Best fuel economy can be
achieved by accelerating slowly
and shifting to the next higher gear
when the “
U/S” light comes on.
Safe operation of the vehicle may
require a different shifting
schedule than indicated by the
“
U/S” light to adapt to weather,
road, or traffic conditions. The
“
U/S” light should be ignored
when downshifting or when hard
acceleration is required for
satisfactory performance.
For the best compromise between
vehicle performance and fuel
economy, upshift the transmission

67Instruments and Controls
as indicated by the “
U/S” (upshift)
light on the instrument panel.
If vehicle speed drops below
20 mph (30 km/h), or if the
engine is not running smoothly,
you should downshift to the next
lower gear. You may need to
downshift two or more gears to
keep the engine running smoothly
or for satisfactory performance.
This indicator comes on for a few
seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the “ON”
position.4-Wheel Drive
(4WD) Indicator
4WD models only
This indicator lights when the
4-Wheel Drive system is engaged.
With the 4WD-2WD switch in the
“
OFF” or 2WD position, this light
will come on to provide a “bulb
check” when the key is turned to
the “
ON” position, but should go
out after the engine is started.
If the 4WD-2WD switch is in the
“
ON” or 4WD position, this light
will come on when the key is
turned to the “
ON” position and
remain on after the engine is
started.
Anti-Lock Indicator
This light will come on and go out
when the ignition switch is turned
to the “
ON” position. (If the light
does not come on, see your Honda
dealer to have the system
repaired.)
If the light remains on after
engine start-up or comes on
during operation of the vehicle,
stop as soon as possible and turn
the key off. Then start the engine
to reset the system. If the light
stays on, or it comes on again
while you’re driving, the anti-lock
brake system should be checked
at your Honda dealer.
Until you get it fixed, you ’ll have
normal brakes, but you won ’t
have anti-lock.

72 Instruments and Controls
In cold weather, warm the
windshield with the defrosters
before using the washers. This
will help prevent icing of the
windshield that may block your
vision.
Headlights
The rotating switch on the left
lever controls the lights. Rotating
this switch to the
position
turns on the instrument panel
lights and all exterior lights
except the headlights. Rotating
the switch to the
position turns
on the headlights.
To change between low beams
and high beams, pull back on the lever until you hear a click, then
let go. The high beam indicator
will light (see page 62) when the
high beams are selected.
To flash the high beams, pull the
lever back about half way and
then let it go. The high beams will
stay on for as long as you hold the
lever back, no matter what
position the headlight switch is in.

Headlights-On Reminder
You will hear a continuous tone
when the key is out of the ignition
switch and the driver
’s door is
opened with the headlight switch
in the “
ON” position. This will
remind you to turn the headlights
off. Never leave the headlights on
when the engine is not running.
They can rapidly discharge the
battery.
Fog Lights
EX model only
When fog or heavy mist reduces
your forward vision, push this
switch to turn the fog lights on.
The indicator light in the switch
turns on. Push the switch again to
turn off the fog lights.
The fog lights operate only when
the headlight low beams are in
use.
Illumination Control
The instrument panel lights turn
on when the light switch is on.
Brightness of the instrument panel
lights is controlled by turning the
illumination control knob
clockwise for brighter or
counterclockwise for dimmer.

1ST
In this 4-speed automatic
transmission, the following three
modes can be selected by pressing
the “
POWER” or “WINTER”
switch on the floor console, with
the key switch in the “
ON”
position:
•NORMAL mode
•POWER mode
•WINTER mode
P (Park)
— Used to lock the
transmission when the vehicle is
parked or while starting the
engine. Never move the shift lever
to Park until your vehicle is fully
stopped. Use this position
together with the parking brake.
The shift lever can be moved from
PARK position if the regular brake
is applied.
Refer to “Starting” in this section. R (Reverse)
— Used for backing
the vehicle. Bring your vehicle to
a complete stop before shifting to
Reverse.
N (Neutral) — The out-of-gear
position. You may restart a stalled
engine while the vehicle is still
moving with the selector in
Neutral. Refer to “Starting” in this
section. This position is also used
when towing the vehicle. See “In
Case of Emergency ” for towing
information.
D (Drive) (First to Fourth
Gear)
— This position is for all
normal forward driving. For
normal driving, we recommend
that you put the shift lever in the
“
D” range. This will reduce
vehicle noise and improve fuel
economy.

78Instruments and Controls
3 (Third) — When operating your
vehicle on slippery roads, on a
long descending slope, or on a
road with many sharp curves, you
will want to use engine braking.
At this time, put the shift lever
into this range.
2 (Second) — You may choose this
position when traveling down a
moderate grade where you want to
slow down a little without using
the brake itself. Change back to
the “
D” position to return to
normal driving. With the shift
lever in “2, ” the vehicle will start
in first gear and automatically shift
to second gear.
L (First) — This position may be
selected for maximum braking
down severe grades. Return the
selector lever to the “
D” position
to resume normal driving. It is
possible to move the lever into first gear at any speed. However,
the transmission will not actually
shift to first gear until vehicle
speed is below 35 mph (Power
Mode) or 25 mph (Normal Mode).
When starting out in “L,” the
transmission will not upshift.
Starting — Start the engine with
the lever in the “P” or “N”
position. It will not start in any
other position. If it does, have
your vehicle checked by your
Honda dealer.
Always apply the foot brake
before shifting into any driving
position. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
Do not press the accelerator pedal
while shifting from “
P” or “N” to
any driving position.
Shift Lock — As a safety measure
for vehicles with an automatic
transmission, you cannot shift
from “
P” (Park) position into any
other position unless the brake
pedal is depressed when the key
switch is in the “
ON” position or
the engine is running.
The shift lever may not move if
the pushbutton on the shift lever is
pressed before the brake pedal is
depressed. In this case, release
the pushbutton, press the brake
pedal and try again.
If the shift lever won’ t move from
the “
P” position even when these
instructions are followed, perform
the following steps:

91Seats
The
EX–L model has a power
adjustable driver’s seat. On the
other models, the driver’s seat
adjusts manually.
The front passenger’s seat and the
rear seat in all models adjust
manually.
Manual Front Seat
Adjustments
See pages 10-11 for important
safety information and warnings
about how to properly position
seats and seat-backs.
The front seats may be adjusted
forward or backward by pulling
up on the lever at the front of the
seat and then using body pressure
to move the seat to the desired
position.
Let go of the lever and the seat
will lock into the desired position.
After adjusting the seat, use your
body weight to try to move it
forward and backward. Seat
movement indicates that at least
one of the seat adjusters did not
latch. Lift the lever and readjust
the seat. If the seat will not latch
firmly in position after several attempts, take the vehicle to your
dealer for service. An unlatched
seat could increase your chance of
injury in an accident.
Always adjust the seat before you
start driving. Trying to move the
seat while the vehicle is moving
could cause you to lose control.
