Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring  System (TPMS) - Required 
Federal Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated  to the inflation pressure 
recommended by the vehicle manufa cturer on the vehicle placard 
or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a diff erent size than the size indicated 
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation 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 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 proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inf lated tire causes the tire to 
overheat and can lead to tire fail ure. Under-inflation also reduces 
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, 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 engine oil with the viscosity recommended.
2 Recommended Engine Oil P. 678
•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 an y 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 fluid level monthly.
2 Brake Fluid  P. 686
•Check the tire pressure monthly. Examin e the tread for wear and foreign objects.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires  P. 699
•Check the operation of the exterior lights monthly.
2 Replacing Light Bulbs  P. 688
•Check the condition of the wiper bl ades at least every six months.
2Checking and Maintaining Wiper Blades P. 695
■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. 672
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. 772
If you want to perform ma intenance yourself, make 
sure that you have the necessary tools and skills first.
After performing maintenanc e, update the records in 
the separate maintenance booklet.

Maintenance
Checking and Maintaining Tires
Checking Tires
To safely operate your vehicle, your tire s must be of the proper type and size, in 
good condition with adequate  tread, and properly inflated.
■Inflation guidelines
Properly inflated tires provide the best  combination of handling, tread life, and 
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb labe l or specifications page for the specified 
pressure.
Underinflated tires wear unev enly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and 
are more likely to fail from overheating.
Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride ha rshly, are more prone to road hazards, 
and wear unevenly.
Every day before you drive, look at each of  the tires. If one looks lower than the 
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
At least once a month or before long trips , use a gauge to measure the pressure in 
all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1-2 psi (10-20 kPa, 
0.1-0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.
■Inspection guidelines
Every time you check inflation, also examine the tires and valve stems. Look for:
• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tread. Replace the tire if you find any cuts, 
splits, or cracks in the side of the tire . Replace it if you see fabric or cord.
• Remove any foreign objects  and inspect for air leaks.
• Uneven tread wear. Have a deal er check the wheel alignment.
• Excessive tread wear.
2 Wear Indicators  P. 704
•Cracks or other damage around valve stem.
1Checking Tires
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This 
means the vehicle has been parked for at least three 
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If 
necessary, add or releas e air until the specified 
pressure is reached.
If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.4 kgf/cm
2) higher than if 
checked when cold.
Have a dealer check the tires if you feel a consistent 
vibration while driving. Ne w tires and any that have 
been removed and reinst alled should be properly 
balanced.
Check the spare tire pressu re once a month or before 
long trips.
3WARNING
Using tires that are excessively worn or 
improperly inflated can cause a crash in 
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instruction s in this owner’s 
manual regarding ti re inflation and 
maintenance.
