Safe Driving
Exhaust Gas Hazard
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, 
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle, carbon 
monoxide gas will not get into the interior.
■Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever
• The exhaust system is m aking an unusual noise.
• The exhaust system may have been damaged.
• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the hatch open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into 
the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the hatch open, 
open all the windows and  set the climate control system as shown below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the   mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the  same manner if you sit in your parked 
vehicle with the engine running.
1 Carbon Monoxide Gas
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up 
with carbon monoxide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. 
Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the 
garage immediat ely after starting the engine.
3WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and 
even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that 
expose you to carbon monoxide.

■To stop the engine1Remote Engine Start with Vehicle Feedback*
•You have already used the remote twice to start 
the engine.
•Another registered smart entry remote is in the 
vehicle.
•There is any antenna failure.
•The door is unlocked with the built-in key.
•The engine oil pressure is low.•The engine coolant temper ature is extremely high.
•The security system alarm is not set.
While the engine is running, the vehicle will 
automatically activate climate control with a preset 
temperature of 72°F (22°C).
When it is warm outside:
•The climate control system is activated in 
recirculation mode.
When it is cold outside:
•The defroster is activated at a moderately warm 
temperature.
•The rear defogger and door  mirror heaters are 
activated.
•The seat heaters are activated*.

Press and hold the 
 button for one 
second.
Go within the range, 
and try again.
The exterior lights flash once if the engine stops successfully.
The exterior lights will not flash when the remote is out of

Driving
Turbo Engine Vehicle
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by 
delivering a large volume of compressed air  into the engine using a turbine driven by 
the engine’s exhaust gas pressure.
• When the engine is cold just after sta rting, avoid revving the engine or sudden 
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Maintenance 
Minder
TM. The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its 
temperature reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It  is lubricated and cooled by engine 
oil. If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or 
interval, deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal 
noise of the turbine bearing.
1 Turbo Engine Vehicle
The scheduled maintenance  intervals for replacing 
the filter is indicated on the driver information 
interface. Follow the information of when to replace 
them. 2 Maintenance Minder
TM P. 561
The temperature gauge pointer is at the   mark 
when you restart the engi ne after driving under high 
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly 
terrain. This is normal.  The gauge goes down after 
you idle or drive the vehi cle for about one minute.

uuMaintenance Under the Hood uRecommended Engine Oil
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 a 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.
