169Driving Tips
Wheel Replacement
Considerations
Damaged wheels must be
replaced. For example, replace
wheels if they are bent, cracked or
heavily rusted, or if wheel nuts
often become loose. Also replace
wheels that leak air (except some
aluminum wheels that can be
repaired). See your Honda dealer.
Do not use bent wheels that have
been straightened, and do not use
tubes in leaking wheels designed
for tubeless tires. Such wheels
may have structural damage and
could fail without warning.
Maximum loads, maximum
inflation pressures, wheel
identification codes, and wheel
sizes are stamped on each wheel.
Service-tested and approvedwheels are available from your
Honda dealer.
When obtaining wheels for any
reason from any other source, the
replacement wheels should be
equal in load capacity, inflation
pressure capacity, diameter, width,
offset and mounting configuration
to those originally installed on
your vehicle. A wheel of the
wrong size or type may adversely
affect load carrying capacity,
wheel and bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, stopping ability,
headlight aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance, and tire
or tire chain clearance to the body
and chassis. Replacement with
used wheels is not advised: They
may have been subjected to harsh
treatment or very high mileage and
could fail without warning.
Installing wheels and/or tires that
have a higher load carrying limit
than those that originally came on
your vehicle does not increase the
GAWR or GVWR of the vehicle.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
System
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(
EGR) system takes some of the
exhaust gas and routes it back into
the intake manifold. Adding
exhaust gas to the air/fuel mixture
reduces the amount of NOx
produced when the fuel is burned.
Three-Way Catalytic Converter
The Three-Way Catalytic
Converter is in the exhaust
system. Through chemical
reactions, it converts HC, CO, and
NOx in the engine’ s exhaust to
carbon dioxide (CO
2), dinitrogen
(N
2), and water vapor. Replacement Parts
The emissions control systems are
designed and certified to work
together in reducing emissions to
levels that comply with the Clean
Air Act. To make sure the
emissions remain low, you should
use only new Honda genuine
replacement parts or their
equivalent for repairs. Using
lower quality parts may increase
the emissions from your vehicle.
The emissions control systems are
covered by warranties separate
from the rest of your vehicle.
Read your warranty manual for
more information.
The tires on your vehicle meet all
U.S. Federal Safety
Requirements. All tires are also
graded for treadwear, traction, and
temperature performance
according to Department of
Transportation (
DOT) standards.
The following explains these
gradings.
Uniform Tire Quality
Grading
Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire
sidewall between the tread
shoulder and the maximum
section width. For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must
conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to these
grades.
