ECO Assist Scoring
Monitors the fuel efficiency of your driving style in real time and converts results
into leaves, which are displayed in a series of five “plant” icons on the i\bMID.
Once you start your vehicle, make sure the i\bMID shows the Ecological Drive
Display to view your Eco Assist score in real time.
As you drive, you earn leaves if you drive in a fuel\befficient manner, or lose
them if you drive inefficiently.
When you turn the vehicle off, your drive cycle and lifetime score are
displayed on the i\bMID.

Use of unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or \2higher is recommended.
• Honda recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than \f5% ethanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
See your Owner’s Manual for more information.
Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese\bbased fuel additive.
Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing M\2MT can deteriorate your
vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emission control system. Always use
MMT\bfree gasoline if available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMT may
not be covered under your new vehicle warranty.
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline (recommended) never contains MMT and has
detergent additives to keep your engine clean. For further information on fuel and
lubricants for your car and information on gasoline that does not contain MMT,
contact your dealer or visit owners.honda.com.

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 childrenare properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place aninfant seat in the front passenger’s seat as the force of a deploying airbag canseriously injure an infant.
See your Owner’s Manual for more information.
