Help assure your vehicle’s future

need to be broken-in by moderate
use for the first 200 miles (300
km).
We also recommend that you do not
tow a trailer during the first 500
miles (800 km).
Your Honda is designed to operate
on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number of 86 or higher. Use
of a lower octane gasoline can cause
a persistent, heavy metallic rapping
noise in the engine that can lead to
mechanical damage.
We recommend gasolines containing
detergent additives that help prevent
fuel system and engine deposits.
Using gasoline containing lead will
damage your vehicle’s emissions
controls. This contributes to air
pollution.
Premium fuel is recommended when
towing in certain conditions (see
page ).256
