•You have already used the remote twice to start 
the engine.
•Another registered smart entry remote is in the 
vehicle.
•There is an antenna failure.
•Door is unlocked with the built-in key.
•The engine oil pressure is low.•The engine coolant temper ature is extremely high.
•The security system alarm is not set.
While the engine is running, the vehicle will 
automatically activate climate control with a preset 
temperature of 72°F (22°C).
When it is warm outside:
•The air conditioning is acti vated in recirculation 
mode.
When it is cold outside:
•The defroster is activated at a moderately warm 
temperature.
•The rear defogger, door mirror heaters, and front

Fuel Economy and CO2 Emissions
Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2 
Emissions
Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions is dependent on several 
factors, including driving conditions, load  weight, idling time, driving habits, and 
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the 
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.
You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle. 
Always maintain your vehicle in accord ance with the messages displayed on the 
information display
*/driver information interface*.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil,  displaying the API Certification Seal.
• Maintain the specified tire pressure.
• Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
• Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle's underside 
adds weight and increases wind resistance.
■Maintenance and Fuel Economy
1Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2 Emissions
Direct calculation is  the recommended method to 
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.
In Canada, posted fuel  economy numbers are 
established following a simulated test. For more 
information on how this test  is performed, please visit

Turbo Engine Vehicle*
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by 
delivering a large volume of compressed air  into the engine using a turbine driven by 
the engine’s exhaust gas pressure.
• When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid revving the engine or sudden 
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Maintenance 
Minder. The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its 
temperature reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It  is lubricated and cooled by engine 
oil. If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or 
interval, deteriorated engine oil may caus e failure such as sticking and abnormal 
noise of the turbine bearing.1 Turbo Engine Vehicle*
The scheduled maintenance  intervals for replacing 
the filter is indicated on the driver information 
interface. Follow the information of when to replace 
them. 2 Maintenance Minder
TM P. 479
The temperature gauge pointer is at the   mark 
when you restart the engi ne after driving under high 
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly 
terrain. This is normal.  The gauge goes down after 
you idle or drive the vehi cle for about one minute.

Maintenance
Before Performing Maintenance
Inspection and Maintenance
For your safety, perform all listed inspections and maintenance to keep your vehicle 
in good condition. If you become aware of  any abnormality (noise, smell, insufficient 
brake fluid, oil residue on the ground, etc.), have your vehicle inspected by a dealer. 
(Note, however, that service at a dealer  is not mandatory to keep your warranties in 
effect.)
■Daily inspections
Perform inspections before long distance tri ps, when washing the vehicle, or when 
refueling.
■Periodic inspections
• Check the brake/clutch* fluid level monthly.
2 Brake/Clutch* Fluid  P. 502
•Check the tire pressure monthly. Examin e the tread for wear and foreign objects.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires  P. 516
•Check the operation of the exterior lights monthly.
2 Replacing Light Bulbs  P. 504
•Check the condition of the wiper bl ades at least every six months.
2Checking and Maintaining Wiper Blades P. 513
■Types of Inspection and Maintenance
1Inspection and Maintenance
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of 
emissions control devices and systems may be 
done by any automotive repair establishment or 
individuals using parts that are “certified” to 
EPA standards.
According to state and fede ral regulations, failure to 
perform maintenance on the maintenance main 
items marked with # will  not void your emissions 
warranties. However, all ma intenance services should 
be performed in accordan ce with the intervals 
indicated by the information display
*/driver 
information interface*.
2 Maintenance Service Items  P. 481, 486
If you want to perform  complex maintenance tasks 
that require more skills a nd tools, you can purchase a 
subscription to the Service Express website at 
www.techinfo.honda.com .
2 Authorized Manuals  P. 581
If you want to perform ma intenance yourself, make 
sure that you have the necessary tools and skills first.
After performing ma intenance, update the records in 
the separate maintenance booklet.
