Seat Belt Reminder
As a reminder to you and your
passengers, this light will come
on for about six seconds each time
the key is turned to the “
ON”
position.
The beeper will also operate for
about six seconds after turning the
key to the “
ON” position if the
driver ’ s seat belt is not fastened.
Brake System
The service braking system is a
split system designed so that one
part will provide some braking
action if there is a loss of
hydraulic pressure in the other
part of the system.
To serve as a reminder, the
“
BRAKE” system light is
designed to come on while the
parking brake is set and the key is
turned to the “
ON” position. Have

the system repaired if the light
does not come on when the key is
turned to the “
ON” position
without the engine running or
when the parking brake is set.
This light does not eliminate the
need for brake inspection and
maintenance. The brake fluid
level must be checked regularly.
See the maintenance section of
this manual for other brake
checks.
If the light remains on after
engine start up with the parking
brake released, or comes on
during operation of the vehicle, it
may mean that there is something
wrong with the brake system.
What to do?
1. Check to see if the parking brake has been fully released. 2. If it has, pull off the road and
stop carefully. Remember that:
•Stopping distances may be
longer.
•You may have to push
harder on the pedal.
•The pedal may go down
farther than normal.
3. Have the vehicle towed to the nearest Honda dealer for
repair.
Do not continue to drive with the
brake system light on. There may
be a serious problem with the
braking system. Driving under
this condition is hazardous and
could lead to an accident.
The brake system light does not
indicate that the parking brake is
fully set. When applying the
parking brake, always pull it up as
far as possible.
High Beam
The headlight high beam indicator
lights up when the headlights are
on high beam.
Charging System
This light should come on when
the key is turned to the “
ON”
position and the alternator is not
charging. The light may stay on at
engine idle; however, it should go
off and stay off above the normal
engine idle speed. If the light
comes on while driving, the
charging system should be
checked at once so the battery will
not completely discharge. Stop the
engine, and check for a broken
drive belt. If it is broken, or if the
drive belt is not responsible for
the trouble, have your Honda
dealer inspect and correct the
fault. If the drive belt is broken,

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.
