Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
Exterior Checks
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
• Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
• Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left u\
nder
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an exte\
nded period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass
and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by\
a small
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials aft\
er you or
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
• Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
Interior Checks
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he floor
mats.
• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in \
the
vehicle.
• Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate.
• Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
• Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll\
under the
seats.
• everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
• Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\
tart
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
DRIVING
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\
lt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\
round the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.

Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, \
use the proper
equipment, and follow the towing guidelines. See the Owner’s Manual on the Owner
Information CD or at owners.honda.com (U.S.) or www.myhonda.ca (Canada) for
more information.
Towing Load Limits
Total trailer weight
Do not exceed the maximum allowable weight of
the trailer, cargo, and everything in or on it shown in
the table below. Towing loads in excess of this can
seriously affect vehicle handling and performance
and can damage the engine and drivetrain.
To ng ue Loa d
Total load
Tongue load
The weight of the tongue with a fully loaded trailer
on the hitch should be approximately 10% of the
total trailer weight.
• excessive tongue load reduces front tire traction
and steering control. Too little tongue load can
make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
• To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading
60% of the load toward the front of the trailer and
40% toward the rear. Readjust the load as needed.
Number of occupantsEquip with ATF cooler
23,500 lbs (1,587 kg )
33,350 lbs (1,520 kg)
43,200 lbs (1,451 kg)
53,050 lbs (1,383 kg)
62,900 lbs (1,315 kg)
71,450 lbs (658 kg)
8Towing not recommended
each weight limit is calculated based on the following conditions:
• Occupants fill seats from the front of the vehicle to the back
• each occupant weighs 150 lbs (68 kg)
• each occupant has 15 lbs (7 kg) of cargo in the cargo area
Any additional weight, cargo or accessories reduce the maximum trailer weight
and maximum tongue load.
To ng ue Loa dTongue load
Pre-tow checklist
When preparing to tow, and before driving away, ensure the following:
• The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooli\
ng
system are in good operating condition.
• Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle’s first 600 miles (1,000 km).
• The trailer has been properly serviced and is in good condition.
• All weights and loads are within limits. Never exceed the gross weight r\
atings.
• Check if all loads are within limits at a public scale. If a public scal\
e is not
available, add the estimated weight of your cargo load to the weight of \
your
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) and the tongue load.
• The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure.
• All items in or on the trailer are properly secured and cannot shift whi\
le you drive.
exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer c\
an
cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting \
to driv
e.
WARNING
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 ach\
ieve the
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.

2. Pull down the U-shaped carpet piece, fold it, and
tuck the end under the carpet.
3. Remove the plastic screw with a coin.
4. Install the bracket and the mounting wing bolt (A)
on the attachment point, and tighten the bolt.
5. Install the flat tire on the bracket with the inside
of the wheel facing toward you.
6. Install the mounting wing bolt (B) to the bracket
through one of the five wheel nut holes, and
tighten the bolt. Poke a hole in the storage bag as
needed.
Storing a flat tire on the folded third–row seat
1. Turn over the flap on the left side of the cargo
area floor.
2. Pull down the U-shaped carpet piece and remove
the plastic screw with a coin.
3. Place the flat tire face down on the attachment
point.
4. Put the tire mounting wing bolt (B) in the

nut holes, and tighten the bolt. Poke a hole in the
storage bag as needed.
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
• Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
• Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the w\

• Do not use while the engine is running.
• Use only where the ground is firm and level.
• Use only at the jacking points.
• Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
• Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.

three times in this order. Do not overtighten the
wheel nuts.
If you drive with the spare tire installed, the
low tire pressure/TPMS indicator appears. The
indicator stays on until a regular tire is installed.
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and can seriously i\
njure the
occupants.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn the vehicle off, including all lights and
accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the screws and replace
the fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screws.
4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine
compartment and the vehicle interior.
If there is a burned out fuse, remove it with the
fuse puller and replace it with a new one.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the\
chances of
damaging the electrical system.
