Smart Entry Remote Reminder
1 Smart Entry Remote Reminder
When the smart entry remote  is within the system’s 
operational range, and the driver’s door is closed, the 
warning function cancels.
If the smart entry remote is taken out of the vehicle 
after the engine has been started, you can no longer 
change the  ENGINE START/STOP  button mode or 
restart the engine. Al ways make sure if the remote is 
in your vehicle when you operate the  ENGINE 
START/STOP button.
Removing the smart entry re mote from the vehicle 
through a window does not activate the warning 
buzzer.
Do not put the smart entry remote on the dashboard 
or in the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer 
to go off. Under some other conditions that can 
prevent the vehicle from locating the remote, the 
warning buzzer may also go off even if the remote is 
within the system’s operational range.

Adjusting the SeatsAdjusting the Seat Positions
Adjust the driver's seat as far back as possible 
while allowing you to maintain full control of 
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright, 
well back in the seat and be able to 
adequately press the pedals without leaning 
forward, and grip the steering wheel 
comfortably. The passenger's seat should be 
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far 
back from the front airbag in the dashboard 
as possible.

1Adjusting the Seats
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow 
at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the 
steering wheel and the chest.

Climate Control SystemUsing Automatic Climate ControlThe automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select. 
The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that raises or lowers 
the interior temperature to your preference as quickly as possible.
Use the system when the engine is running.
1.Press the  AUTO button.
2. Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side control 
buttons.
3. Press the   (on/off) button to cancel.■Switching between the recirculation and fresh air modes
Press the   (recirculation) button and switch the mode depending on 
environmental conditions.
Recirculation mode (indicato r on): Recirculates air from the vehicle’s interior through 
the system.
Fresh air mode (indicator off): Maintains outside ventilation. Keep the system in 
fresh air mode in normal situations.
1 Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate 
control system in auto, the function of the button 
that was pressed will take priority.
The  AUTO  indicator will go off, but functions 
unrelated to the button that was pressed will be 
controlled automatically.
To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the 
fan may not start immediately when the  AUTO 
button is pressed.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down 
more rapidly by partially opening the windows, 
turning the system on auto, and setting the 
temperature to low. Change the fresh mode to 
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.
When you set the temperature to the lower or upper 
limit,  Lo or  Hi is displayed.
Pressing the   button switches the climate 
control system between on and off. When turned on, 
the system returns to your last selection.

uuAudio System Basic Operation uVoice Control Operation
Features
Voice Control OperationYour vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of 
the navigation system functions.
The voice control system uses the   (Talk) and   (hang-up/back) buttons on the 
steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the navigation voice control 
system:
• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are 
using.
• Close the windows and moonroof.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so  air does not blow onto the microphone 
on the ceiling.
• Speak clearly in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if poss ible. The system may misinterpret your 
command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
• Refer to the Voice Help feature.
2 Refer to the Navigation System Manual

command.1Voice Recognition
The voice control system can only be used from the 
driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes 
noises from the front passenger’s side.

Driving
1Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
*
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the 
windshield that could obstruct the FCW camera's 
field of vision.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield 
within the FCW camera's field of vision can cause the 
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we 
recommend that you replace the windshield with a 
genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making 
even minor repairs within the camera's field of vision 
or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield 
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the windshield, have a dealer 
recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of the FCW 
camera is necessary for  the system to operate 
properly.
Beep
Camera-based system
The camera is located 
behind the rearview mirror.
The beeper sounds and 
the FCW  indicator blinks 
until a possible collision 
is avoided.
Head-up Warning LightsFlash twice.
1 How the system works
The head-up warning uses a lens located at the front 
end of the dashboard.
Do not cover the lens or spill any liquid on it.
