INTRODUCTION
This Owner’s Guide is intended to help you quickly get acquainted with your 2015
Honda Civic. It provides basic information and instructions on technology and
convenience features, as well as emergency procedures and how to get assistance.
This guide is for vehicles sold in the United States and Canada. It covers all Civic
Sedan, Coupe, and Natural Gas models, so you may fi nd descriptions of features and
equipment that are not in your vehicle. Images throughout this guide are from U.S.
vehicles and represent features and equipment that are available on some, but not all,
models.
This guide is not intended to be a substitute for the Owner’s Manual. The Owner
Information CD enclosed in your glove box kit includes the Owner’s Manual,
Navigation Manual, Consumer Information Book, and vehicle and tire warranties in
electronic format. This information can be viewed on a computer (PC or Mac platform)
and saved or printed for your reference. You can also visit owners.honda.com (U.S.) or
myhonda.ca (Canada) to view the complete and most current information.
If you are the fi rst registered owner of your vehicle, you may request a complimentary
printed copy of the Owner’s Manual, Navigation Manual, Vehicle Warranty, or
Consumer Information Book within the fi rst six months of vehicle purchase. To request
a copy, visit owners.honda.com (U.S.) and create or log in to your account. In Canada,
please request a copy from your Honda dealer.
American Honda Motor Company strives to be proactive in protecting our
environment and natural resources. By using electronic delivery for a considerable
portion of the information typically found in a vehicle owner’s manual, we are further
reducing our impact on the environment.
