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

Maintenance
Recommended Engine Oil
Oil is a major contributor to your engine’s 
performance and longevity. If you drive the 
vehicle with insufficient  or deteriorated oil, 
the engine may fail or be damaged.
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving 
and that it meets the American Petroleum 
Institute’s latest requirements.
Use Genuine Honda Motor Oil or another 
commercial engine oil of suitable viscosity for 
the ambient temperature as shown.
■Synthetic oil
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it  is labeled with the API Certification Seal 
and is the specified viscosity grade.
• Genuine Honda Motor Oil
• Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with  an API Certification Seal on the 
container.1 Recommended Engine Oil
Engine Oil Additives
Your vehicle does not require  oil additives. In fact, 
they may adversely affect the engine performance 
and durability.

Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
Do not attempt to check or change the  continuously variable transmission fluid 
yourself.
Have a dealer check the fluid level and replace if necessary.
Do not attempt to check or change th e manual transmission fluid yourself.
■Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Fluid
Specified fluid: Honda HCF-2 Transmission Fluid
■Manual Transmission Fluid
Specified fluid: Honda Manual  Transmission Fluid (MTF)
Models with continuously variable transmission
1Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Fluid
NOTICE
Do not mix HCF-2 with other transmission fluids.
Using a transmission fluid other than HCF-2 may 
adversely affect the operati on and durability of your 
vehicle’s transmission, and damage the transmission.
Any damage caused by usi ng a transmission fluid that 
is not equivalent to HCF-2 is not covered by Honda's 
new vehicle limited warranty.
Models with manual transmission
1 Manual Transmission Fluid
If Honda MTF is not availa ble, you may use the API 
certificated SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 viscosity motor oil 
as a temporary measure.
Replace with MTF as soon as  possible. Motor oil does 
not contain the proper addi tives for the transmission 
and continued use can cause decreased shifting 
performance and lead to transmission damage.
