INTRODUCTIONTABLE OF CONTENTS
This Owner’s Guide is intended to help you quickly get acquainted with your
2016 Honda Accord Coupe. 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 Accord
Coupe models, so you may find 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, 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 first registered owner of your vehicle, you may request a complimentary
printed copy of the Owner’s Manual, Navigation Manual, or Vehicle Warranty within
the first 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.
