DRIVING
Refueling
Use the proper fuel and refueling procedure to ensure the best performance and 
safety of your vehicle.
 Fuel Information
Use of unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or higher is recommended.
• 
Honda recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that help 
prevent fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to maintain good 
performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly recommend the 
use of gasoline that does NOT contain harmful manganese-based fuel additives 
such as MMT, if such gasoline is available. 
NOTICE
 How to Refuel
1. The fuel fill door is located at the left rear of the 
vehicle. Park next to the service pump that is 
most accessible.
2. Turn off the engine. 
3. Pull the fuel fill door release handle near the 
parking brake. The fuel fill door opens.
4. Turn the fuel fill cap slowly to open. Place the fuel 
fill cap in the holder.
5. Insert the filler nozzle fully. When the tank is full, 
the fuel nozzle clicks off automatically.
6. Replace the fuel fill cap. Tighten it until you hear 
at least one click. Close the fuel fill door.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously 
injured when handling fuel.
• 
Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
•  Handle fuel only outdoors.
•  Wipe up spills immediately.
WARNING
Learn about what to do in critical or emergency situations.
Smart Entry Remote Battery Strength
If the battery life in your remote transmitter is weak, a message appears in the 
display with information on how to start the engine.
1. Touch the back of the remote transmitter to the 
ENGINE START/STOP button while the indicator is 
flashing.
2. With the brake pedal pressed, press the ENGINE 
START/STOP button within 10 seconds.
Jump Starting
Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the engine, 
then open the hood.
1. Connect the first jumper cable to your vehicle’s 
battery (+) terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the first jumper cable 
to the booster battery (+) terminal. Use a 12-volt 
booster battery only.
3. Connect the second jumper cable to the booster 
battery (-) terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the second jumper cable 
to the grounding point as shown. Do not connect 
this jumper cable to any other part.
5. If your vehicle is connected to another vehicle, 
start the assisting vehicle’s engine and increase its 
rpm slightly.
6. Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it turns 
over slowly, make sure that the jumper cables have 
good metal-to-metal contact.

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.
