Setting Up the Jack
1. Place the jack under the jacking point closest to the tire
to be changed.
2. Turn the end bracket clockwise (as shown in the image)
until the top of the jack contacts the jacking point.
Make sure that the jacking point tab is resting in the jack
notch.
3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack handle bar and the jack
handle, until the tire is off the ground.
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
•  Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
•  Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the weight (“load”)
or fit the jacking point.
•  Do not use while the engine is running.
•  Use only where the ground is firm and level.
•  Use only at the jacking points.
•  Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
•  Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the
vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.

replacing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the wheel nuts and flat tire.
2. Mount the compact spare tire. Replace the wheel nuts,
and lightly tighten them.
3. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack. Tighten the
wheel nuts in the order indicated in the image. Go around,
tightening the nuts, two to three times in this order. Do
not over tighten the wheel nuts.
If you drive with the spare tire installed, the low tire
pressure/TPMS indicator appears. The indicator stays on
until a regular tire is installed.
Storing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the center cap and place the flat tire face up
under the hoist.
2. Insert the hoist bracket into the center hole of the flat tire.
3. Turn the wheel nut wrench with the jack handle bar
clockwise until the flat tire rests against the underbody of
the vehicle and you hear the hoist click.
4. Securely store the jack and wheel nut wrench back in the
tool case. Store the case in the cargo area.
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and can seriously injure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely before driving.

Tire r epair Kit*
If a tire has a small puncture, you can use the tire repair kit to temporarily repair it. The
puncture must be smaller than 3/16-inch (4 mm) and not in the tire sidewall. Go to a dealer
to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.
Before r epairing the Tire
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, non-slippery surface.
2. Move the shift lever to Park (P), and apply the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the vehicle off.
Getting ready to repair the Tire
1. Pull the handle on the cargo area floor lid and open the
lid.
2. Remove the cargo floor box.
3. Remove the kit from the case.
4. Place the kit face up on flat ground near the punctured
tire and away from traffic. Do not place the kit on its
side.
5. Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the tire.
Do not use a puncture-repairing agent other than the one provided in the kit that came
with your vehicle. If a different agent is used, you may permanently damage the tire
pressure sensor.

opening the Hood
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, and set the parking
brake.
2. Pull the hood release handle under the lower left corner
of the dashboard.
3. Push up the hood latch lever in the center of the hood to
release the lock mechanism, and open the hood.
4. Lift the hood up about halfway. The hydraulic supports
will continue to lift and hold it up.
When closing, lower the hood to approximately 12
inches (30 cm), then press down firmly with your hands.
Do not open the hood when the wiper arms are raised. The hood will strike the wipers, and
may damage either the hood or the wipers.

engine oil
Park the vehicle on level ground, and wait approximately three minutes after turning the
engine off before you check the oil.
Checking the oil
1. Remove the dipstick (orange loop).
2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or paper towel.
3. Insert the dipstick all the way back into its hole.
4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the level. It should
be between the upper and lower marks. Add oil if
necessary.

r ecommended engine oil
•  Genuine Acura motor oil
•  Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certification Seal on the container
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving and
that it meets the American Petroleum Institute’s latest
requirements.
Use Genuine Acura Motor Oil or another commercial
engine oil of suitable viscosity for the ambient temperature
as shown.
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it is labeled with the API Certification Seal and is
of the specified viscosity grade.

Adding oil
1. Unscrew and remove the engine oil fill cap.
2. Add oil slowly.
3. Reinstall the engine oil fill cap, and tighten it securely.
4. Wait for three minutes and recheck the engine oil
dipstick.
Do not fill the engine oil above the upper mark. Overfilling the engine oil can result
in leaks and engine damage.

r esetting the engine oil Life
If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the engine oil
life. Use the right selector wheel to make selections in the MID.
Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results in the system
showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to serious mechanical
problems.
1. Scroll to Maintenance
Info and select it to
display the oil life reset
mode.
2. Select Reset. The service
code disappears and the
oil life returns to 100%.

Adding Coolant
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
2. Remove the engine compartment cover.
3. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and relieve any
pressure in the coolant system. Do not push the cap
down when turning.
4. Push down and turn the radiator cap counterclockwise
to remove it.
5. The coolant level should be up to the base of the filler
neck. Add coolant if it is low.
6. Put the radiator cap back on, and tighten it fully.
7. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches the
MAX mark. Put the cap back on the reserve tank.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.

engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant level in the
radiator. We recommend Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
Checking the reserve Tank
1. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add the
specified coolant until it reaches the MAX mark.
3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
If temperatures consistently below -22°F (-30°C) are expected, the coolant
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer for more
information.

Window Washer Fluid
Add washer fluid as necessary. Pour it carefully, and do not overflow the reservoir.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer reservoir.
Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution can damage the
windshield washer pump.
For Jump starting, see page 108.
Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If there is
a problem with the sensor, have your vehicle checked by a dealer. Check the battery
terminals monthly for corrosion.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.

Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first with a paper
towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, you should
change the wiper blades.
1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the passenger side.
2. Place a cloth on the edge of the lock tab. Push the lock tab
up with a flat-tip screwdriver.
3. Slide the blade from the wiper arm.
4. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling the
tabbed end out.
5. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade that has been
removed, and mount to a new rubber blade. Correctly
align the rubber protrusion and the retainer grooves.
6. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from the
bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit in the indent
of the wiper blade.
7. Slide the wiper blade onto the wiper arm, then push down
the lock tab.
8. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the driver
side.
