Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add to
the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types of
collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children
are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infant
seat in the front passenger’s seat as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously
injure an infant.
F U E L R E C O M M E N D A T I O N
• Only use unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or higher.
• Some gasoline in North America contains manganese\bbased fuel additives. Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing such additives can deteriorate your vehicle’s
performance, fuel economy, and the emissions control system. Always use gasoline
free of such additives if available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing such
additives may not be covered under warranty.
• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car and information on gasoline that does not contain manganese\bbased fuel additives,
contact your dealer or visit Owner Link at www.owners.honda.com.
