Adjusting the Seats
Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safety.
Adjusting the Front Seats
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while 
allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle.
You should be able to sit upright and well back in the 
seat, adequately press the pedals without leaning 
forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably. 
The passenger’s seat should be adjusted so that it 
is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard 
as possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the 
steering wheel and the chest.
Driver’s power seat*
Move back and allow sufficient space.
*if equipped
Automatic (AUTO) Rain-Sensing Wipers*
When you move the lever to the AUTO position
while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate
based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Put the lever in the AUTO position only when driving
in rainy weather.
Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall
sensor sensitivity.
Return the lever to the OFF position when rain stops.
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get 
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck. 
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the de\
froster
or heated windshield button* to warm the windshield, or manually clear the 
windshield of ice and snow before turning on the wipers.
NOTICE
Rear WiperWhen you shift to Reverse (R) and the front
wipers are activated, the rear wiper activates
even if the switch is off.
AUTO
position
Adjustment ringLow sensitivity: Wipers
operate when more
rainfall is detected.
High sensitivity: Wipers
operate when less
rainfall is detected.
Always ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before entering a car wash to 
prevent severe damage to the windshield wiper system.

MAINTENANCE
Checking the Battery
Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.
For jump starting, see page 112.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead\

compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or 
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a 
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer 
reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution 
can damage the windshield washer pump.
NOTICE
Window Washer Fluid
If the washer fluid level is low, fill the washer reservoir. 
Canadian models
If the washer fluid level is low, the washer level 
indicator or a message appears.
Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning them first with a 
paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber has deteriorated, 
you should change the wiper blades.
Changing the Front Wiper Blade Rubber
1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the
passenger side.
2. Push the lock tab up. 
3. Slide the blade holder from the wiper arm.
4. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by 
pulling the tabbed end out.
5. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade 
that has been removed, and mount to a new 
rubber blade. Correctly align the rubber 
protrusion and the retainer grooves.
6. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from 
the bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit 
in the indent of the wiper blade.
7. Attach the wiper holder to the wiper arm until
the lock tab clicks into place.
8. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then
the driver side.

NOTICE
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle’s braking system 
and can cause extensive damage.
NOTICE
Brake Fluid
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the 
reservoir. Use Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3.
Pour the fluid carefully.
If the fluid level is at or below the MIN mark, have a 
dealer inspect for leaks or worn brake pads as soon as 
possible.
