Driving with varying tire or wheel
sizes may cause the VSA to
malfunction. When replacing tires,
make sure they are of the same size
and type as your original tires (see
page ).
This switch is under the left vent.
Press it to turn the VSA system on
and off.
When VSA is off, the VSA activation
indicator comes on as a reminder.
Pressing the switch again turns the
system back on. VSA
is turned on every time you
start the engine, even if you turn ed it
off the last time you drove the
vehicle.
Deactivate the VSA system if you
need to drive with the compact spare tire installed (see page ).
If you install winter tires, make sure
they are the same size as those that
were originally supplied with your
vehicle. Exercise the same caution
during winter driving as you would if
your vehicle was not equipped with
VSA. 264

holder until the tabs lock.
Slide the wiper blade assembly
onto the wiper arm. Make sure it
locks in place.
Lower the wiper arm down against

Every
time you check inflation, you
should also examine the tires for
damage, foreign objects, and wear.

Replace your tires with radial tires of
the same size, load range, speed
rating, and maximum cold ti re
pressure rating (as shown on the
ti re’s sidewall).
Mixing radial and bias-ply tires on
your vehicle can reduce braking
ability, traction, and steering
accuracy. Using tires of a different
size or construction can c ause the
ABS and vehicle stability assi st
system (VSA) to work inconsistently.
TheABSworksbycomparingthe
speed of the wheels. When replac ing
tires, use the same size originally
supplied with the vehicle. Tire size
and construction can affect wheel
speed and may cause the system to
activate. It is best to replace all four ti
res at
thesametime.Ifthatisnotpossible
or necessary, replace the two front
tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one ti re can seriously
affect your vehicl e’s handling.
If you ever replace a wheel, make
sure that the wheel’s sp ecifications
match those of the original wheels.
Replacement wheels are available at
your dealer. Wheels:

Tires marked ‘‘M S’’ or ‘‘All
Season’’ on the sidewall have an all-
weather tread design suitable for
most winter driving conditions.
For the best perf ormance in snowy
or icy conditions, you should install
snow tires or tire chains. They may
be required by local laws under
certain conditions.
If you mount snow tires on your
vehicle, make sure they are radial
tires of the same size and load range
as original tires. Mount snow tires on
all f our wheels. The traction
provided by snow tires on dry roads
maybelowerthanyouroriginaltires.
Check with the tire dealer f or
maximum speed recommendations. Mount tire chains on your tires when
required by driving conditions or
local laws. Install them only on the
f ront tires.
Because your vehicle has limited tire
clearance, Honda strongly
recommends using the chains listed
below, made by Security Chain
Company (SCC).
Thesechainsaretheonlyonesthat
have been approved by Honda f or
use on your vehicle. Since Honda
cannot test all chains, you must be
personally responsible f or proper
selection, installation, and use of tire
chains.
The chains listed here are available
at many auto supply stores. For a
complete list of stores, visit the SCC
website at www.scc-chain.com.
When installing chains, f ollow the
manuf acturer’s instructions, and
mount them as tightly as you can.
Drive slowly with chains installed.
