Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices and sys\
tems
may be done by any automotive repair establishment or individuals using \
parts
that are certified to EPA standards.
According to state and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenan\
ce on the
maintenance main items marked with # will not void your emissions warranties.
However, all maintenance services should be performed in accordance with the 
intervals indicated by the multi-information display.
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.

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 these
conditions, have the transmission uid changed every 25,000 miles (4\
0,000 km).
*6: 6-cylinder models

Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the 
engine oil life.
Models with information display
1. Press the select/reset knob until the engine oil 
life appears in the display.
2. Press and hold the knob for 10 seconds or more, 
until the display begins to blink.
3. Press and hold the knob for 5 seconds or more. 
The engine oil life display returns to 100%.
Models with multi-information display

it.
2. Scroll to the Maintenance reset screen, and
select it.
3. Select reset. The maintenance codes disappear,
and the engine oil life display returns to 100%.
Failure to reset the Maintenance Minder™ display after a maintenance \
service
results in the system showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can\
lead to
serious mechanical problems.
NOTICE
Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant\
level in the
radiator. We recommend Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
Checking the Reserve Tank
1. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add 
the specified coolant until it reaches the MAX
mark.
3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Adding Coolant
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
2. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and
relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do
not push the cap down when turning.
3. Push down and turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise to remove it.
4. The coolant level should be up to the base of the 
filler neck. Add coolant if it is low.
5. Put the radiator cap back on, and tighten it fully.
6. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches
the MAX mark. Put the cap back on the reserve 
tank.
Reserve
tank
MAXMIN
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expected, the coolant 
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer for details 
for more information.
NOTICE
Radiator cap
removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant t\
o
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator 
cap.
WARNING
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.
