INSTRUMENT PANELReporting Safety Defects
In the U.S.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could 
cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying American Honda \
Motor Co.,
Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and  if it finds 
that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recal\
l and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems 
between you, your dealer, or American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-
4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator,
NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain 
other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
In Canada
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could 
cause injury or death, you should immediately inform Honda Canada, Inc., and you 
may also inform Transport Canada.
If Transport Canada receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if 
it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may le\
ad to a recall and
remedy campaign. However, Transport Canada cannot become involved in individual 
problems between you, your dealer, or Honda Canada, Inc.
To contact Transport Canada’s Defect Investigations and Recalls Division, you may 
call 1-800-333-0510. For more information on reporting safety defects or  about motor 
vehicle safety, go to http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety.
Learn about the indicators, gauges, and displays related to driving the vehicle.
Indicators briefly appear with each engine start and then go out. Red and amber 
indicators are most critical. Blue and green indicators are used for gen\
eral
information.
Malfunction Indicators
These are the most critical indicators. If they come on and stay lit while driving or at 
any other time, there may be a problem. See your dealer if necessary.
Brake system
• Brake fluid is low.
• The brake system has a problem.
Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure. If normal, check 
the brake fluid level when you stop. If abnormal, take immediate action. If 
necessary, downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle using engine
braking. Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
Low oil pressure
engine oil pressure is low. Stop in a safe place. open the hood. Check the oil
level, and add oil if necessary (see page 135). If the indicator does not turn 
off, have your vehicle repaired immediately.
Charging system
The battery is not charging. Turn off all electrical items, but do not turn off 
the vehicle to prevent further battery discharge. Have your vehicle repaired 
immediately.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
There is a problem with one of the airbag systems or seat belt tensioners. 
Smart Entry system*
There is a problem with the smart entry system.

Maintenance Minder Service Codes
These codes indicate what services are due on your vehicle.
*1:If a message SERVICE does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change
the engine oil every year.
#: See information on maintenance and emissions warranty.
CODEMaintenance Main Items
A
Replace engine oi l*1
BReplace engine oil*1 and oil lter
Inspect front and rear bra kes/service as necessary
Check parking brake adjustment
Inspect tie rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots
Inspect suspension components
Inspect driveshaft boots
Inspect brake hoses and lines (Including ABS/VSA )
Inspect all uid levels and condition of uids
Inspect exhaust system#
Inspect fuel lines and connections#
*2:If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every \
15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of s\
oot in the air from industryand diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen lter every \
15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*4: Continuously variable transmission (CVT) models
*5: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher
transmission temperatures. This requires transmission uid changes mo\
re frequently than
recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehic\
le under thes e
conditions, have the transmission uid changed every 25,000 miles (4\
0,000 km).
*6: 6-cylinder models
*7: If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110 °F, 43 °C), in very low temperatures
(under -20 °F/-29 °C), or tow a trailer, replace every 60,000 mi\
les/100,000 km .

SPECIFICATIONSMAINTENANCE
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) or Neutral for manual transmission. 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 (D) or 5th gear. 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.
