INSTRUMENT PANELINSTRUMENT PANEL
Learn about the indicators 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 gen\
eral
information.
Malfunction Indicators
These are the most critical indicators. If they come on and stay lit whi\
le driving or at
any other time, there may be a problem. See your dealer if necessary.
Brake system
The brake fluid is low, or the brake system has a problem. Press the brake
pedal lightly to check pedal pressure. If normal, check the brake flui\
d level
when you stop. If abnormal, take immediate action. If necessary, downshift
the transmission to slow the vehicle using engine braking. Have your vehicle
repaired immediately.
Low oil pressure
Engine oil pressure is low. Stop in a safe place. Open the hood. Check the oil
level, and add oil if necessary (see page 148). If the indicator does \
not turn
off, have your vehicle repaired immediately.
Charging system
The battery is not charging. Turn off all electrical items, but do not turn off
the vehicle to prevent further battery discharge. Have your vehicle repa\
ired
immediately.

engine’s cylinders is detected. Stop in a safe place, and wait for the engine
to cool down.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
There is a problem with the anti-lock brake system. Your vehicle still has
normal braking ability, but no anti-lock function.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)*

cle is
fitted with a spare tire.

Engine Compartment Cover
The component parts in the engine compartment are protected by a cover. You
may need to remove the cover when you perform certain maintenance work.
Starting at either side, lift the outermost edge of
the engine compartment cover. Pull up on the
cover, and remove it from the pins. Move towards
the opposite side while applying uniform upward
pressure.
Recommended Engine Oil
•  Honda Genuine Motor Oil
•  Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certification 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 Certifi\
cation Seal
and is of the specified viscosity grade.
Engine Oil
Park the vehicle on level ground, and wait approximately three minutes after turning
the engine off before you check the oil.
Checking the Oil
1. Remove the dipstick (orange).
2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or paper
towel.
3. Insert the dipstick back all the way into its hole.
4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the level.
It should be between the upper and lower marks.
Add oil if necessary.

MAINTENANCE
Adding Oil
1. Unscrew and remove the engine oil fill cap.
2. Add oil slowly.
3. Reinstall the engine oil fill cap, and tighten it
securely.
4. Wait for three minutes and recheck the engine oil
dipstick.
Do not fill the engine oil above the upper mark. Overfilling the eng\
ine oil can result
in leaks and engine damage.
NOTICE

Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the
engine oil life. Use the steering wheel buttons to operate the menu.
1. Use the Info (p/q) buttons to scroll to the Vehicle
Settings menu. Press the RESET button to enter the
menu.
2. Scroll to Maintenance Info, and select it.
3. Press and hold the RESET button to enter the oil life
reset mode.
4. Select Reset. The maintenance codes disappear,
and the engine oil life returns to 100%.
Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results\
in the
system showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to seriou\
s
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. Remove the engine compartment cover.
3. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and
relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do
not push the cap down when turning.
4. Push down and turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise to remove it.
5. The coolant level should be up to the base of the
filler neck. Add coolant if it is low.
6. Put the radiator cap back on, and tighten it fully.
7. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches
the MAX mark. Put the cap back on the reserve
tank.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant \
to spray
out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiato\
r cap.
WARNING
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expec\
ted, the coolant
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer fo\
r details
for more information.
NOTICE
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.
