Quick Reference Guide
VSA® On and Off (P 517)
● The Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®) system 
helps stabilize the vehicle during 
cornering, and helps maintain traction 
while accelerating on loose or slippery 
road surfaces.
● VSA ® comes on automatically every time 
you start the engine.
● To partially disable or fully restore VSA ® 
function, press and ho ld the button until 
you hear a beep.
Cruise Control* (P 469)
● Cruise control allows you to maintain a 
set speed without keeping your foot on 
the accelerator pedal.
● To use cruise control, press the  CRUISE 
button, then press the  –/SET button once 
you have achieved the desired speed 
(above 25 mph or 40 km/h).
CMBSTM* On and Off 
(P 541)
● When a possible collision is likely 
unavoidable, the CMBS
TM can help you to 
reduce the vehicle sp eed and the severity 
of the collision.
● The CMBS
TM is turned on every time you 
start the engine.
● To turn the CMBS
TM on or off, press and 
hold the button until you hear a beep.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)* (P 523)
● Detects a change in tire conditions and overall dimensions due to decrease in tire 
pressures.
● The TPMS is turned on automatically every time you start the engine.
● A calibration procedure must be performed when certain conditions arise.

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation*
Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring  System (TPMS) - Required 
Federal Explanation*
Each tire, including the spare (i f provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated  to the inflation pressure 
recommended by the vehicle 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 infl ation pressure label, you should 
determine the proper tire inflat ion 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 tire s is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pr essure telltale illuminates, you 
should stop and check your tires  as soon as possible, and inflate 
them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-in flated tire causes the tire to 
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflat ion also reduces 
fuel efficiency and tire tread li fe, and may affect the vehicle's 
handling and stopping ability.

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 
driver information interface.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
2 Recommended Engine Oil P. 570
•Maintain the specified tire pressure.
• Do not load the vehicl e 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
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. 580
•Check the tire pressure monthly. Examin e the tread for wear and foreign objects.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires  P. 597
•Check the operation of the exterior lights monthly.
2 Replacing Light Bulbs  P. 582
•Check the condition of the wiper bl ades at least every six months.
2Checking and Maintaining Wiper Blades P. 592
■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 driver  information interface.
2 Maintenance Service Items  P. 564
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. 682
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.
