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.

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.

The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and\
size.
NOTICE
Brake Assist System
During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake
pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hol\
d the brake
pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. Do not pump\
the
brake pedal, rather continue to hold it firmly down.
When ABS activates, you may notice vibrations through the brake pedal or\
the
vehicle body, the brake pedal depressing further than usual, or hear a noise from
the motor compartment. These are all normal.
In normal use, the ABS system will occasionally cause a sound from the motor
compartment, especially when the power system is first started or afte\
r repeated
use of the brakes.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Also known as electronic Stability Control (eSC), vSA helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what was intende\
d. It
assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engin\
e output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or OffvSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn
vSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and
cornering ability, but not vSA traction and stability
enhancement.
Press and hold the vSA OFF button until you hear a
beep to turn vSA on or off. The vSA OFF indicator
appears when the system is off.
Traction control stops functioning, which may make
it easier when trying to free your vehicle if it is stuck
in mud or snow.

vSA OFF button
Release the parking brake fully before driving. The rear brakes and axle\
can be
damaged if you drive with the parking brake applied.

e
accelerator pedal. Use cruise control on freeways or open roads where yo\
u can
travel at a constant speed with little acceleration or deceleration.
Improper use of cruise control can lead to a crash.
Use cruise control only when traveling on open highways in good weather.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*
If the camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror det\
ects a
vehicle in front of you when your vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or\
higher—and it
determines there is a likelihood of a frontal collision—the system pr\
ovides you with
visual and audible warnings.
If you do not brake in time or take preventive action, BRAKe flashes in the display or

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
A camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror determin\
es if
your vehicle begins to move away from the center of a detected lane whil\
e driving
between 40–90 mph (64–145 km/h).

Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations. Over-reliance on LDW may result
in a collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the vehicle wit\
hin your lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in\
use. LDW
may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary \
based on
weather, speed, and lane marker condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.
