ANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
n Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Required Federal Explanatio\
n
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthl\
y when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehic\
le
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated \
on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine\
the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly\

under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the prop\
er
pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenanc\
e,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TP\
MS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to \
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the syst\
em
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one m\
inute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue up\
on
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be abl\
e to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle \
that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or altern\
ate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually to
reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with t\
he compact spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repa\
ired or replaced.
n
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the par\
king brake, shift
to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1.
Open the trunk and remove the two tray-holding
bolts.

2. Pull out the tire tray. Hook the rear of the tray to the
guides on the back edge of the trunk.

3. Loosen the strap, then take the jack out.

4. Remove the wing bolt, tool box and spacer cone,
then the compact spare tire.Wing Bol t

5. Place the compact spare tire wheel-side up under
the vehicle body, near the tire that needs to be
replaced.
6.
Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using
the wheel nut wrench.

U.S. models
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices and sys\
tems may
be done by any automotive repair establishment or individuals using part\
s that are
certified to EPA standards.
According to state and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenan\
ce on the

However

, all maintenance services should be performed in accordance with the
intervals indicated by the multi-information display. n
Maintenance Minder Service Codes
These codes indicate what services are due on your vehicle.
*1: If the message Maintenance Due Now does not appear more than 12 months after the display
is reset, change the engine oil every year.
#: See information on maintenance and emissions warranty.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every \
15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of s\
oot in the air from industry and diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

n Recommended Engine Oil •
Genuine Honda 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. n
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.Engine oil ll cap
Do not fill the engine oil above the upper mark. Overfilling the eng\
ine oil can result in
leaks and engine damage.
NOTICE
n
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 (/) 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 serious mecha\
