Starter system*
There is a problem with the starter system. Press and hold the ENGINE 
START/STOP button for up to 15 seconds while pressing the brake pedal and 
manually start the engine.
All Wheel Drive (AWD)*
There is a problem with the AWD system. If the indicator blinks, the system 
is overheated and inactive. Stop in a safe place, and idle until the ind\
icator
goes off.
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 general?
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

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 not VSA traction and stability

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 stops functioning, which may make it easier when trying to free
your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.
Cruise Control*

e
accelerator pedal. Use cruise control on freeways or open roads where yo\
u can
travel at a constant speed with little acceleration or deceleration.

WARNING
Activating and Setting the Vehicle Speed
1. Press the CRUISE button. The CRUISE MAIN indicator 
appears.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed (above 25 mph/
40 km/h). Take your foot off the pedal and press the -/SET 
button to set the speed. The CRUISE CONTROL indicator 
appears.
Adjusting the Vehicle Speed
Press the RES/+ button to increase speed, or the -/SET 
button to decrease speed.
Each time you press the button, the vehicle speed is 
increased or decreased by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). If you 
keep the button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or 
decreases by until you release it.
Canceling Cruise Control
Press the CANCEL button or the brake pedal. The CRUISE 
CONTROL indicator goes off.
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume 
the prior set speed by pressing the RES/+ button while 
driving at a speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h).

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.
Learn about what to do in critical or emergency situations.
Smart Entry Remote Battery Strength*
If the battery life in your remote transmitter is weak, a message appears in the 
display with information on how to start the engine.
1. Touch the back of the remote transmitter to the 
ENGINE START/STOP button while the indicator is 
flashing.
2. With the brake pedal pressed, press the ENGINE 
START/STOP button within 10 seconds.
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
*if equipped
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. 
NOTICE
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
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. Pull the fuel fill door release handle near the
parking brake. 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.
Pull
Shift Lever Does Not Move
Follow the procedure below if you cannot move the shift lever out of Park (P).
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Remove the key from the ignition, or remove the
built-in key from the remote transmitter.
3. Wrap a cloth around the tip of a small flat-tip
screwdriver to remove the cover of the shift lock
release slot. Put the tip of the flat-tip screwdriver
into the slot and remove it as shown in the image.
4. Insert the key into the shift lock release slot.
5. While pushing the key down, press the shift lever
release button and place the shift lever into Neutral  
(N). The lock is now released. Have the shift lever
checked by a dealer as soon as possible.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) — Required Federal Explanatio\
n
U.S. models only
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly 
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the 
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure\

label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the 
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the 
proper tire inflation 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
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the 
proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat 
and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
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 under-inflation 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 flash 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.
Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually 
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire wit\
h the compact
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or 
replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the parking brake, 
shift to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1. Open the tailgate. Turn on the cargo lights if
necessary (see page 39).
2. Open the cargo area floor lid.
3. Take the tool bag out of the cargo area. Take the 
jack handle bar and wheel nut wrench out of the 
tool bag.
4. Take the jack out of the spare tire area.
5. Unscrew the wing bolt and remove the spacer 
cone. Then remove the spare tire.
6. Place a wheel block or rock in front and rear of 
the wheel diagonal to the flat tire.
7. Place the compact spare tire (wheel side up)
under the vehicle body, near the tire that needs 
to be replaced.
8. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the 
wheel nut wrench.
