122Comfort and Convenience FeaturesFoot/Defrost — Air
comes from the floor
outlets, windshield defroster
outlets and side window defroster
outlets. When you select
Foot/Defrost, the A/C turns on (if
it is not already on), and outside
air is selected automatically.
Because of the automatic
operation, you will not see the
light in the A/C button. The
system goes back to your former
settings when you move the knob
to any other position.
When the windshield glass and
door glass are foggy or frosty, use
this Foot/Defrost mode to clear
off the glass while maintaining the
heating performance.
Defrost — Air is
conditioned and
delivered from the windshield
defroster outlets with a small amount delivered from the side
window defroster outlets. This
position is recommended for
conditions of severe fogging and
icing only. When you select
Defrost, the A/C turns on (if it is
not already on), and outside air is
selected automatically. Because of
the automatic operation, you will
not see the light in the A/C button.
The system goes back to your
former settings when you move
the knob to any other position.
Operating Tips – Use the heater
with the air-source selector lever
at the outside air position. This
will minimize windshield
clouding while quickly warming
the interior of the vehicle. For
best results, engage the A/C
compressor to minimize
windshield clouding. Your vehicle has a flow-through
ventilation system that provides
a supply of outside air into the
vehicle when it is moving and the
air-source selector lever is in the
outside air position. When the
vehicle is not in motion, you can
get a steady flow of outside air
with the heater or air conditioning
blower running.
With the side windows closed and
the air-source selector lever in the
outside air position, the flow-
through ventilation system
provides outside air flow into the
front air inlet grilles, through the
vehicle and out the rear air
exhaust outlet.

Operating Tips
•Clear snow and ice from the
hood and air inlet in front of
the windshield. This helps the
heater and defroster work
better and reduces the chance
of fogging the inside of the
windshield.
•Always keep the front inlet
grilles clear of obstructions
(leaves, ice, snow, etc.).
•Always keep the underseat
air path clear of objects.

Maintenance Schedule

218Care and Maintenance
You usually do not need to remove
the radiator cap to check the engine
coolant level.
Removing the radiator cap
while the engine is hot can
cause the coolant to spray
out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and
radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.
Adding Engine Coolant
To add engine coolant, remove the
cap on the radiator reserve tank
and fill the tank up to the
maximum level mark. Add a
50/50 mixture of water and a good
quality ethylene glycol antifreeze.
If you need to add engine coolant
frequently, see your Honda dealer
for a cooling system check.
If the proper quality antifreeze
is used, there is no need to add
extra inhibitors or additives. They
may be harmful to the proper
operation of the system.
Cooling System Service
The cooling system should be
serviced at the intervals specified
in the Maintenance Schedule as
follows:
•Wash the radiator cap and filler
neck with clean water.
•Check the engine coolant level
in the radiator and have it tested
for freeze protection. Add
ethylene glycol antifreeze, if
needed, to maintain freeze
protection at
–33
F ( –36
C).
•Have the cooling system and
radiator cap tested for a
pressure capacity of 15 psi (105
kPa). If a replacement cap is
needed, use a cap specified for
your model.
•Tighten all radiator and heater
hose clamps and inspect all
hoses. Replace the hoses if they
are swollen, “checked, ” or
otherwise worn. Carefully
tighten the hose clamps at the
radiator. Overtightening could
bend or collapse the radiator
fittings.
•Clean the front of the radiator
core and air conditioning
condenser.
It is the owner ’s responsibility to:
•Maintain the cooling system
freeze protection at –33
F
