Clean up dry spills and debris inside your vehicle with the in-car vacuum system.
Operating the Vacuum
1. Make sure the vehicle is in Park (P). Set the
power mode to Accessory, or start the engine.
2. Open the vacuum storage lid in the driver’s side
rear cargo area.
3. Pull out the vacuum hose, and install one of the
attachments if desired.
4. Press the power button and begin to vacuum (dry 
use only).
Accessory mode operation
• 
After 7 minutes, an intermittent beep begins to 
sound as a time limit alert.
• 
After 8 minutes, a beep sounds, PWR SAVE comes 
on, and the vacuum turns off. You must start the
engine if you want to continue using the vacuum.
The vacuum will restart after the engine has been 
running for about one minute.
Engine on operation
Make sure you are using the vacuum in a well
ventilated, open area to minimize the likelihood of 
carbon monoxide exposure.
See the Owner’s Manual on the Owner Information CD or at owners.honda.com
(U.S.) or myhonda.ca (Canada) for instructions on emptying the canister.

button
Engine exhaust contains toxic carbon monoxide that builds up rapidly in 
enclosed areas. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you. If 
running the engine to power the vacuum, park the vehicle outdoors and lo\
wer
all windows to ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not vacuum flammable liquids or in an area with flammable vapors. A fire or 
explosion could result, causing death or serious injury.
WARNING
The vacuum is intended for dry use only. Water and other liquids can damage the 
vacuum.

MAINTENANCE
Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. 
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the 
testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the 
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, 
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
for 20
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P). Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it 
there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed 
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with 
the vehicle in Drive. Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 
seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly;
this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic 
conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (\
for a total of
90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions 
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again 
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be 
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.
