Basic Navigation Operation
A real-time navigation system uses GPS and a map database to show your current 
location and help guide you to a desired destination. You can operate the system
using voice commands or the touchscreen.
To reduce the potential for driver distraction, certain manual functions \
may be
inoperable or grayed out while the vehicle is moving. Voice commands are always
available.
Steering Wheel Controls Use the steering wheel controls to control the system.

Braking
Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.
Foot Brake
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your 
vehicle from moving.
Brake Assist System
During hard or emergency braking, the system 
increases braking force. The brake pedal may move 
slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to
hold the brake pedal firmly down. 
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
During hard or emergency braking, the system 
rapidly pumps the brakes to prevent wheel lockup 
and help you maintain steering control. The brake 
pedal may pulsate slightly during ABS operation;
this is normal. Do not pump the brake pedal, and 
continue to hold it firmly down.
Parking Brake
Keep the vehicle from moving when it is parked.
To apply: Pull the lever up fully without pressing the
release button. 
To release: Press and hold the release button, then 
lower the lever down all the way.
Brake peda l

The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and size. 
NOTICE
Release the parking brake fully before driving. The rear brakes and axle can be 
damaged if you drive with the parking brake applied.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) System
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less 
than what was intended. It assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by 
regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
vSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn VSA 
off, your vehicle has normal braking and cornering 
ability, but VSA traction and stability enhancement 
become less effective.
Press and hold the VSA OFF button until you hear a 
beep to turn VSA on or off. The VSA OFF indicator 
appears when the system is off.
Traction control becomes less effective, which may make it easier when trying to 
free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a dete\
cted lane and
visual and tactile alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its\
lane while driving
between 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected left 
or right side lane markings without a turn signal
activated, the system provides visual and tactile
alerts.
A Lane Departure message appears on the multi-
information display, and the steering wheel vibrates. 
Steering torque is also applied to help keep your 
vehicle within your driving lane. Take appropriate
action to stay within your driving lane.
Turning the System On or Off
1. Press the MAIN button. LKAS appears in the 
multi-information display.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines appear in 
the multi-information display. Dotted lane lines
turn solid when the system activates.
3. Press the MAIN button or the LKAS button to turn 
the system off.
Important Safety Reminder
LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle control. The 
system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or fa\
il to steer
the vehicle.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may reflect onto the 
windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.

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.
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. Push the fuel fill door release handle near the
bottom of the driver’s seat. 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
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.

Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an 
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of 
the following operations:
• 
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 
two seconds, or
• 
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two 
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also disables the 
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will require 
significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehi\
cle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and 
stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine 
to be switched off.
*if equipped
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The 
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can 
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front 
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly 
low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a
message appears on the multi-information display*.
What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified
level on the label on the driver’s doorjamb.
*if equipped
TPMS CalibrationAny time you inflate, change, or rotate one or more of the tires, you \
need to
recalibrate the system. The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes 
of cumulative driving at speeds between 30–60 mph (48–97 km/h). The vehicle 
must be steopped to begin calibration, and the process finishes automatically.
Using the TPMS button*
Press and hold the TPMS button near the steering 
wheel. The TPMS indicator blinks twice, and 
calibration begins.
