HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving. If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes
signi cantly low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message appears on
the display. Available on U.S. models only.
What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure to the speci ed
level on the label on the driver’s doorjamb.
TPMS Calibration
Any time you in ate, 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 30–65 mph (48–105 km/h). The vehicle must be stopped to begin
calibration, and the process nishes automatically.
Models with TPMS button
Press and hold the TPMS button until the low tire pressure indicator blinks twice, indicating the calibration process has begun.
Models with color audio system and Driver Information Interface

Low tire pressure/ TPMS indicator
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and in ated to the in ation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire in ation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire in ation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire in ation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is signi cantly underin ated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and in ate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signi cantly underin ated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underin ation also reduces fuel ef ciency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underin ation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will ash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Driving on an extremely underin ated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always in ate your tires to the speci ed pressure.

Recommended Engine Oil
• Honda Genuine Motor Oil
• Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certi cation Seal on the
container
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving and
that it meets the American Petroleum Institute’s latest requirements. Use Honda Genuine Motor Oil or another commercial engine oil of suitable viscosity for the ambient temperature as shown.
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it is labeled with the API Certi cation Seal and is of the speci ed viscosity grade.
Adding Oil
1. Unscrew and remove the engine oil ll cap.
2. Add oil slowly.
3. Reinstall the engine oil ll cap, and tighten it securely.
4. Wait for three minutes and recheck the engine oil dipstick.

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 Driver Information Interface
Use the steering wheel buttons to make and enter selections (see page 29).
1. Scroll to the Maintenance Minder screen, and select it.
2. Press and hold the ENTER button for about 10 seconds to enter the reset mode.
3. Scroll to the maintenance item you want to reset (or All Due Items), and select it.
Models with Display Audio
Use the touchscreen to make and enter selections.
1. From the HOME screen, select Settings.
2. Select Vehicle.
3. Select Maintenance Info.
4. Select Select Reset Items.
