System Updates Terms and Conditions
General
Your vehicle has an application that allows your 9" Color Touchscreen to
aut
omatically search for Honda software updates that are specific to your 9" Color
Touchscreen and its connected devices (initially every week via Wi-Fi or every four (4)
weeks via Telematics Control Unit (TCU)
*
, queries may occur more or less frequently
due to internet outages, retries, direct user action, WAP push from the server, or a
change in query policy on the Honda servers). This application periodically transmits
to our servers a limited amount of vehicle and device information (Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN), the Model Type (MT) Identification Number, Hardware
and Software Part Number, Serial Number, Software Version, preferred language,
Internet Protocol (IP) address, Transaction Log (alert or update viewing, update
download and installation, software status), etc.). When the application finds an
update from the server, the application initially asks permission to download and
install the update. Where available, in your settings menu you may elect to
automatically download and install these updates or you may elect to manually
update the system.
When your 9" Color Touchscreen searches our servers for updates or alerts, we will
aut
omatically provide you with the opportunity to update your devices or transmit the
update or alert directly to your 9" Color Touchscreen. We will also maintain on our
servers a log of the updates or alerts that are installed.

Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deplo
yment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record
data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
cr
ashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-
trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information
if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
The data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else
except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.

About the Hybrid System
SPORT HYBRID i-MMD (intelligent Multi-Mode
Drive)
Your SPORT HYBRID i-MMD vehicle uses both an electric motor and a gasoline engine
as pr
opulsion sources, with the electric motor receiving electricity from an internal
High Voltage battery and/or internal generator. The High Voltage battery is charged
from the generator driven by the engine or regenerative braking. When driving, your
vehicle is propelled exclusively by the electric motor, exclusively by the gasoline
engine, or by a combination of the two.
Components
a Gasoline Engine:
Runs the generator, and under certain conditions,
drives the wheels directly.
b Gener
ator:
Starts the engine and generates electric power
when driven by the gasoline engine to supply
electricity to power the electric motor and/or to
charge the High Voltage battery.
c Electric Motor:
Provides direct power to the wheels (together
with the engine in some cases). Also, the electric
motor provides electricity to the High Voltage
battery through regenerative braking.
d High Voltage Battery:
The High Voltage battery stores electricity and
supplies electricity to the motor.
High Voltage parts and High Voltage wires in this vehicle are sheathed in
electr
omagnetic shielding material; therefore, the amount of electromagnetic waves
emitted is no greater than those emitted by household appliances or the electrical
parts in conventional vehicles.
Battery types
There are two types of batteries used in this vehicle: a standard 12-volt battery that
po
wers the airbags, the interior and exterior lights, and other standard 12-volt
systems: and the High Voltage battery that is used to power the propulsion motor
and recharge the 12-volt battery.
14
Sounds Unique to the SPORT HYBRID i-MMD System
You may hear the following sounds when turning on the power system, or driving.
When starting and stopping the engine:
The sound of the powertrain operating can be heard coming from the front of the
v
ehicle.
At acceleration:
Motor and engine operating sounds can be heard coming from inside the engine
compartment.
At deceleration:
To regenerate energy, the sounds of motor regeneration can be heard coming from
inside the engine compartment. Also, when depressing the brake pedal while driving
at low speeds, or when changing the braking system to regenerative braking, you may
hear a sound coming from the brakes.
Climate control system in operation:
The sound of the compressor and/or heating system operating can be heard coming
from inside the engine compartment.
Energy efficiency
As with a gasoline-powered vehicle, hybrid vehicle fuel efficiency and driving r
ange is
most impacted by your driving style. Aggressive acceleration and high-speed driving
can easily trigger the system to switch the propulsion source to the gasoline-powered
engine.
In addition, heavy climate control system use negatively affects vehicle range and
efficiency. Either of these use patterns will more quickly reduce the High Voltage
battery’s state of charge.
Driving Mode
When driving, your vehicle is propelled exclusively by the electric motor, exclusively
b
y the gasoline engine, or by a combination of the two. The system selects which
propulsion source is most appropriate and automatically switches to it.
≫
Depending on the climate control system, High Voltage battery, and driving conditions, the
engine will start and stop automatically.
Electric Vehicle (EV) driving mode
When parked or while driving at low speeds, the EV indicat
or comes on and the
vehicle is powered only by the motor.
1
Before Driving > About the Hybrid System

1
Before Driving
Hybrid (HV) driving mode
When driving under high load conditions (such as when accelerating or going
uphil
l), the engine operates and runs the generator. The generator then provides
that electricity to the motor to help run the motor when driving. It also charges the
High Voltage battery.
Engine (Direct Drive) driving mode
When driving at high speeds under light load conditions, the vehicle is powered
mainl
y by the engine. Also depending on the situation, electricity from the High
Voltage battery helps the motor run, or the motor acts as a generator that charges
the High Voltage battery.
Regeneration driving mode
When the accelerator pedal is not being operated while decelerating or descending
a hil
l, the motor acts as a generator and operates regenerative braking, and the
electricity gained through regenerative braking is provided to the High Voltage
battery.
≫
The regenerative braking feature works similarly to engine braking. The rate of deceleration
can be changed by using the deceleration paddle selector.

High Voltage System and Battery
Characteristics of High Voltage Battery
The High Voltage battery gradually discharges even if the vehicle is not in use. As a
r
esult, if your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time, the battery charge level
will become low. Extended periods of time at a low state of charge will shorten
battery life. To maintain the battery state of charge, drive your vehicle for more than
30 minutes at least once every three months.
Extreme high temperatures can affect the battery life. You can minimize the effects by
parking the vehicle in the shade during the summer.
!
Be careful not to let the High Voltage battery drain too much.
If the bat
tery level becomes close to zero, it will make it impossible to start the
engine.
Safety Precautions
Attempting to take a High Voltage system component apart or disconnect one of its
wir
es can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure that any maintenance or repairs to
the High Voltage system are performed by a Honda dealer.
1
Before Driving > About the Hybrid System
16
Do not cover the air intake (a).
If the air intake is obstructed during vehicle
oper
ation, the High Voltage battery can become
too hot. To protect the battery, the system may
start to limit the battery’s output and cause the
POWER SYSTEM indicator and 12-volt battery
charging system indicator to come on.
3 WARNING
If a severe crash damages your vehicle’s High Voltage system, there is a
pos
sibility of electrical shock due to exposed High Voltage components or
wires (orange). If this happens, do not touch any of the High Voltage system
components or any of its orange wires.
The High Voltage battery contains a flammable electrolyte that could leak
as a result of a severe crash. Avoid skin or eye contact with the electrolyte
as it is corrosive. If you accidentally come into contact with the electrolyte,
rinse the exposed skin or flush your eyes with copious amounts of water for
a few minutes, and seek medical attention immediately.
!
Use a fir

Emergency Shutdown System for the High Voltage System
If the vehicle is involved in a crash, the emergency shutdown system will activate
depending on the se
verity of the impact. When the system activates, the High
Voltage system automatically shuts down, and the vehicle can no longer move
under its own power. To return the High Voltage system back to normal operation,
consult a dealer.
When the vehicle is disposed

For Safe Driving
The following pages explain your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them
pr
operly. The safety precautions below are ones that we consider to be among the
most important.
Important Safety Precautions
Some states, provinces, and territories prohibit the use of cell phones other than
hands
-free devices by the driver while driving.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to
supplement seat bel
ts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts, and
wear them properly.
Restrain all children
Children ages 12 and under should ride properly restrained in a back seat, not the
fr
ont seat. Infants and small children should be restrained in a child seat. Larger
children should use a booster seat and a lap/shoulder seat belt until they can use
the belt properly without a booster seat.
Be aware of airbag hazards
While airbags can save lives, they can cause serious or fatal injuries to occupants
who sit t
oo close to them, or are not properly restrained. Infants, young children,
and short adults are at the greatest risk. Be sure to follow all instructions and
warnings in this manual.
Don’t drink and drive
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing c
onditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink.
So don’t drink and drive, and don’t let your friends drink and drive, either.
Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close at
tention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe
to divert some attention away from driving.
18
Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the gr
eater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous. To
r
educe the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle
Children, pets, and people needing assistance left unattended in the vehicle may be
injur
ed if they activate one or more of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the
vehicle to move, resulting in a crash in which they and/or another person(s) can be
injured or killed. Also, depending on the ambient temperature, the temperature of
the interior may reach extreme levels, which can result in harm or death. Even if the
climate control system is on, never leave them in the vehicle unattended as the
climate control system can shut off at any time.

The following checklist will help you take an active role in protecting yourself and your
pas
sengers.
Your vehicle is equipped with many features that work together to help protect you
and your passengers during a crash.
Some features do not require any action on your part. These include a strong steel
framework that forms a safety cage around the passenger compartment, front and
rear crush zones, a collapsible steering column, and tensioners that tighten the front
seat belts in a sufficient crash.
However, you and your passengers cannot take full advantage of these features
unless you remain seated in the correct position and always wear your seat belts. In
fact, some safety features can contribute to injuries if they are not used properly.
Driving Preparation
Exterior Checks
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
≫
There are blind spots from the inside.
Make sure the tires are in good condition.
≫
Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.
Checking Tires
u
P.317
Make sure the hood is securely closed.
≫
If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior lights, or other
parts of the vehicle.
≫
Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
≫
Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of vision while
driving or fall off and impact other road users. If frozen solid, remove ice once it has
softened.
≫
When removing ice from around the wheels, be sure not to damage the wheel or wheel
components.
Make sure the door is not frozen.
≫
When doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any ice. Do not
try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the doors. When done,
wipe dry to avoid further freezing.

20
Make sure that there are no flammable materials left under the hood.
≫
Be especially careful if the vehicle has not been used for a long time, or after maintenance.
The heat from the engine and exhaust may cause flammable materials to catch fire, leading
to unexpected accidents.
Interior Checks
After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors and the hatch are closed and locked.
Locking the doors and the hatch helps prevent an occupant from being ejected and an
outsider from unexpectedly opening a door or the hatch.

dealer or by a qualified technician.
Precautions While Driving
In Rain
Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the motor or
driv
eline, or cause electrical component failure.
Other Precautions
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside o
f the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.
The following can damage the under spoiler, under covers, front bumper, rear
diffuser, and side sill:
Parking the vehicle by a parking block
Parallel parking along a road shoulder
Driving towards the bottom of a hill
Driving up or down to a different surface level (such as a road shoulder)
Driving on a rutted or bumpy road
Driving on a road with potholes
Driving over speed bumps

If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an extremely low speed, or hold the
steering wheel in the full left or right position for a while, the electric power steering
(EPS) system heats up, causing the system to go into a protective mode and make
the steering wheel progressively harder to operate.
≫
Once the system cools down, the EPS system is restored.
≫
Repeated operation under these conditions can eventually damage the system.
Exhaust Gas Hazard
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless,
and highl
y 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 making 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 int
erior 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
v
ehicle with the engine running.
3 WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Br
eathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.
!
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed.
An enclosed ar
ea such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon monoxide
gas. Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the garage immediately
after starting the engine.

Child Safety
Protecting Child Passengers
Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are
either unr
estrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle crashes are the number
one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state and Canadian province
and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained when they ride
in a vehicle.
Children should sit properly restrained in a rear seat. This is because:
An inflating front airbag can injure or kill a child sitting in the front seat.
A child in the front seat is more likely to interfere with the driver’s ability to safely control the
vehicle.
Statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when they are properly restrained
in a rear seat.
Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the event of a
collision.
Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would likely press deep
into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very seriously injured in
a crash.
Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in an approved
child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either the seat belt or the lower
anchors of the LATCH system.
Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjustments.
Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when the inside of
the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate vehicle controls causing it
to move unexpectedly.
The National Highway T
raffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a rear seat.
Some states or provinces/territories have laws restricting where children may ride.
To remind you of the passenger’s front airbag hazards and child safety, your vehicle
has w
arning labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the front visors. Please
read and follow the instructions on these labels.
26
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind
up all the way.
3 WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck can
r
esult in serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unused
seat belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.
3 WARNING
Children who are unrestrained or improperly restrained can be seriously
injur
ed or killed in a crash.
Any child too small for a seat belt should be properly restrained in a child
seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt, using a
booster seat if necessary.
Safety of Infants and Small Children
Protecting Infants
An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing child seat until the infant
r
eaches the seat manufacturer’s weight or height limit for the seat.
Positioning a rear-facing child seat
Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear
seating position.
Experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat for a child so long as the child’s height
and w
eight are appropriate for a rear-facing seat.
Infants should never be seated in a forward-facing position.
Always refer to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions before installation.
Do not allow a front seat to rest against a child seat installed in a rear seating position.
The weight sensor in the front seat may not correctly detect the actual weight of the
occupant.
1
Before Driving > Child Safety
27
1
Before Driving
When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front
passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back in
the desired position. Make sure that there is no contact between the child seat and
the seat in front of it.
It can also interfere with proper operation of the passenger’s advanced front airbag
system.
About Your Airbags
u
P.36
If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front
pas
senger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied.
Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
3 WARNING
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury
or death during a cr
ash.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.
Protecting Smaller Children
If a child has exceeded the weight and height limitations of a rear-facing child seat,
the child should be pr
operly restrained in a firmly secured forward-facing child seat
until they exceed the weight and height limitations for the forward-facing child seat.
Educate yourself about the laws and regulations regarding child seat use where you
are driving, and follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.
Forward-facing child seat placement
We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing
child seat in a rear seating position.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can be hazardous, even with
adv
anced front airbags that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off. A rear
seat is the safest place for a child.
1
Before Driving > Child Safety
28
3 WARNING
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious
injur
y or death if the front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat
as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.
Selecting a Child Seat
Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children).
Some hav
e a rigid-type connector while others have a flexible-type connector. Both
are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child seats can only be
installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child seat
manufacturer’s use and care instructions including recommended expiration dates as
well as the instructions in this manual. Proper installation is key to maximizing your
child’s safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible child
seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. This is
because all child seats are required to be designed so that they can be secured with a
lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addition, the child seat manufacturer
may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-compatible seat once a child
reaches a specified weight. Please read the child seat owner’s manual for proper
installation instructions.
Important consideration when selecting a child seat
The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
LATCH-compatible child seats have been developed to simplify the installation
pr
ocess and reduce the likelihood of injuries caused by incorrect installation.
Installing a Child Seat
Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in either of the two outer rear seats. A
child seat is at

Safety of Larger Children
Protecting Larger Children
The following pages give instructions on how to check proper seat belt fit
, what kind
of booster seat to use if one is needed, and important precautions for a child who
must sit in front.
Checking Seat Belt Fit
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the lap/
shoulder seat bel
t. Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then answer the
following questions.
Checklist
Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge
of the seat?
Does the shoulder belt cross between the child’s
neck and arm?
Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs?
Will the child be able to stay seated like this for the
whole trip?
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder
seat bel
t correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a
booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.
Booster Seats
If a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used
properly, position the child in a booster seat in the
rear seat. For the child’s safety, check that the
child meets the booster seat manufacturer’s
recommendations.
When installing a booster seat, make sure to read the instructions that came with it, and
install the seat accordingly. There are high- and low-type booster seats. Choose a booster
seat that allows the child to wear the seat belt correctly.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces and territories require children to use a
boos
ter seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs). Be sure to
check current laws in the state, province, or territory where you intend to drive.
1
Before Driving > Child Safety
34
Protecting Larger Children - Final Checks
Your vehicle has a rear seat where children can be properly restrained. If you ever
hav
e to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front:
Make sure you read and fully understand the instructions and safety information in this
manual.
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat.
Check that the seat belt is properly positioned so that the child is secure in the seat.
Monitoring child passengers
We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on child passengers. Even older,
mor
e mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts
and sit up properly.
3 WARNING
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in front can result in injury or death if
the pas
senger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly, and
use a booster seat if needed.

Airbags
About Your Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with four types of airbags:
Front airbags: Airbags in front of the driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
Knee airbags: Airbags under the steering column and under the glove box.
Side airbags: Airbags in the driver’s and front passenger’s outer seat-backs and next to the
outer rear seating positions.
Side curtain airbags: Airbags above the side windows.
Each is discussed in the following pages.
The airbags can inflate whenever the power mode is in ON.
After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a small amount of smoke. This is from
the c
ombustion process of the inflator material and is not harmful. People with
respiratory problems may experience some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get
out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Airbag System Components
36
The front, driver’s knee, front passenger’s knee, side, and side curtain airbags are
deployed according to the direction and severity of impact. Both side curtain airbags
are deployed in a rollover. The airbag system includes:
aTwo SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) front airbags. The driver’s airbag is
stored in the center of the steering wheel; the front passenger’s airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked SRS AIRBAG.
bT

Important Facts About Your Airbags
Airbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with
tr
emendous force. So, while airbags help save lives, they can cause burns, bruises,
and other minor injuries, sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing
their seat belts properly and sitting correctly.
What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly and sit upright and as far
back from the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A
front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possible.
Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can
occur in a severe crash, even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags
deploy.

Before Driving
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp object in your
mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front, driver’s knee, and front passenger’s
knee airbag covers. Objects on the covers marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with
the proper operation of the airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt
someone if the airbags inflate.
Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together, airbags and seat belts provide
the best protection.
When driving, keep hands and arms out of the deployment path of the front airbag by
holding each side of the steering wheel. Do not cross an arm over the airbag cover.
Front Airbags (SRS)
SRS (Supplemental R
estraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’s primary
restraint system.
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help protect
the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger.
During a frontal crash severe enough to cause one or both front airbags to deploy, the
airbags can inflate at different rates, depending on the severity of the crash, whether
or not the seat belts are latched, and/or other factors. Frontal airbags are designed to
supplement the seat belts to help reduce the likelihood of head and chest injuries in
frontal crashes.
Housing Locations
The front airbags are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver, and in
the dashboar
d for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
Operation
Front airbags are designed to inflate during moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.
When the v
ehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control
unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.
A frontal collision can be either head-on or angled between two vehicles, or when a
vehicle crashes into a stationary object, such as a concrete wall.
1
Before Driving > Airbags
38
How the Front Airbags Work
While your seat belt restrains your torso, the front
airbag provides supplemental protection for your
head and chest.
The front airbags deflate immediately so that they
won’t interfere with the driver’s visibility or the
ability to steer or operate other controls.
The total time for inflation and deflation is so fast that most occupants are not aware
that the airbags deplo
yed until they see them lying in front of them.
Although the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags normally inflate within a split
second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy. This can happen if
the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold that determines whether or not
the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection,
and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
When front airbags should not deploy
Minor frontal crashes: Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and
help sav
e lives, not to prevent minor scrapes, or even broken bones that might
occur during a less than moderate-to-severe frontal crash.
Side impacts: Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration
causes a driver or front passenger to move toward the front of the vehicle.Side
airbags and side curtain airbags have been specifically designed to help reduce the
severity of injuries that can occur during a moderate-to-severe side impact which
can cause the driver or passenger to move toward the side of the vehicle.
Rear impacts: Head restraints and seat belts are your best protection during a rear
impact. Front airbags cannot provide any significant protection and are not
designed to deploy in such collisions.
Rollovers: In a rollover, your best form of protection is a seat belt or, if your vehicle
is equipped with a rollover sensor, both a seat belt and a side curtain airbag. Front
airbags, however, are not designed to deploy in a rollover as they would provide
little, if any, protection.
When front airbags deploy with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration, a strong impact to the
v
ehicle framework or suspension might cause one or more of the airbags to deploy.
Examples include running into a curb, the edge of a hole, or other low fixed object
that causes a sudden deceleration in the vehicle chassis. Since the impact is
underneath the vehicle, damage may not be readily apparent.

When front airbags may not deploy, even though exterior damage
appears severe
Since crushable body parts absorb crash energy during an impact, the amount of
visible damag
e does not always indicate proper airbag operation. In fact, some
collisions can result in severe damage but no airbag deployment because the
airbags would not have been needed or would not have provided protection even if
they had deployed.
Advanced Airbags
The airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag related
injuries t
o smaller occupants.
a Driver’s Seat Position Sensor
The driver’s advanced airbag system includes a seat position sensor.
Based on information from this sensor and the severity of the impact, the advanced
airbag s
ystem determines the optimal deployment of the driver’s airbag.
The front passenger’s advanced airbag system has weight sensors. The sensors are
used for occupant classification to activate or deactivate the front passenger’s airbag.
For adult size occupants, the system will automatically activate the front passenger’s
airbag. If a small adult sits in the front passenger seat and the system does not
recognize him/her as an adult, see below.

a Passenger’s Seat Weight Sensors
We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the front passenger’s
seat
. However, if you do allow a small child or infant to ride in the front passenger’s
seat, the system is designed to automatically deactivate the front passenger’s airbag.
Do not let a small child or infant ride in the front passenger’s seat if the airbag does
not automatically deactivate.
1
Before Driving > Airbags

If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position sensor or the passenger’s seat
weight sensors, the SRS indicator will come on, and in the event of a crash, the airbag
will deploy (regardless of the driver’s seating position or passenger’s occupant
classification) with a force corresponding to the severity of the impact.

For the advanced front airbags to work properly, c
onfirm that:
The occupant is sitting in an upright position wearing the seat belt properly and the seat-back
is not excessively reclined.
The occupant is not leaning against the door or center console.
The occupant’s feet are placed on the floor in front of them.
There are no objects hanging from the front passenger’s seat.
Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back pocket.
The steering wheel and passenger’s side dashboard are not obstructed by any object.
No liquid has been spilled on or under the seat.
There is no child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat or seat-back.
There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’s seat.
There are no objects placed under or beside the front passenger’s seat. Improperly
positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
The head restraint is not contacting the roof.

Knee Airbags
The knee SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help keep
the driv
er and/or front passenger in the proper position and to help maximize the
benefit provided by the vehicle’s other safety features.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’s primary
restraint system.
Do not attach accessories on or near a knee airbag as they can interfere with the
proper operation of the airbag, or even hurt someone if the airbag inflates.
The driver and front passenger should not store any items under the seat or behind
their feet. The items can interfere with proper airbag deployment in the event of a
moderate to severe frontal collision and may result in inadequate protection.
Housing Locations
The knee airbag for the driver and the one for the front passenger are housed under
the s
teering column and the glove box respectively.
Both are marked SRS AIRBAG.

When knee airbags deploy with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration, a strong impact to the
v
ehicle framework or suspension might cause one or more of the airbags to deploy.

Side Airbags
The side airbags help protect the torso and pelvis of the driver, front passenger, or an
out
er rear seat occupant during a moderate-to-severe side impact.
Housing Locations
The side airbags are housed in the outside edge of the driver’s and passenger’s seat-
back
s and next to the outer rear seating positions.
Each is marked SIDE AIRBAG.
Operation
a Side Airbag
a Side Airbag
When the sensors detect a moderate-to-severe
side impact
, the control unit signals the side
airbag on the impact side to immediately inflate.
If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the airbag may not deploy when there is no
pas
senger in the front passenger seat.
When a side airbag deploys with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden acceleration, a strong impact to the side
o
f the vehicle’s framework can cause a side airbag to deploy. In such cases, there
may be little or no damage, but the side impact sensors detected a severe enough
impact to deploy the airbag.
1
Before Driving > Airbags
43
1
Before Driving
When a side airbag may not deploy, even though visible damage
appears severe
It is possible for a side airbag not to deploy during an impact that results in
appar
ently severe damage. This can occur when the point of impact was toward the
far front or rear of the vehicle, or when the vehicle’s crushable body parts absorbed
most of the crash energy. In either case, the side airbag would not have been
needed nor provided protection even if it had deployed.
!
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers without consulting a
dealer
.
Improperly replacing or covering front seat-back covers can prevent your side
airbags from properly deploying during a side impact.
!
Make sure you and your front seat and rear outboard passengers
al
ways sit upright. Leaning into the path of a side airbag can prevent
the airbag from deploying properly and increases the risk of serious
injury.
!
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can
int
erfere with the proper operation of the airbags, or hurt someone if
an airbag inflates.
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and any passengers
during a moder
ate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain airbags equipped in this
vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial and complete
ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover
crashes.
If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is about to rollover, it immediately
deploys both side curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt tensioners.
!
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars as they
can int
erfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
!
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants
should w
ear their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in
their seats.
1
Before Driving > Airbags
44
Housing Locations
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the side windows on both
sides o
f the vehicle.
Operation
a Side Curtain Airbag
The side curtain airbag is designed to deploy in a
r
ollover or a moderate-to-severe side impact.
If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the passenger’s side curtain airbag deploys
e
ven if there are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may also inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled
fr
ontal collision.

The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and go off periodically if the total
w
eight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold. For a small adult, depending on
physique and posture, the system may not recognize him/her as an adult and thus
deactivate the passenger’s airbag.
If this occurs, please c
onfirm that the conditions set forth in the above bullet points
previously mentioned are met.
If the above conditions are met and the indicator is still on, then with the transmission
in P , set the power mode to OFF and back to ON.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if:
All of the above conditions are met, and the indicator comes on with an adult seated in the
front passenger seat.
The seat is empty and the indicator is off.
The indicator does not come on and go off after setting the power mode to ON as described.
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the indicator is on.
Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag s
ystem components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle inspected
by a dealer in the following situations:
When the Airbags Have Deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarl
y, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
!
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag system
c
omponents, including the airbag, tensioners, sensors, and control
unit.
When the Vehicle Has Been in a Moderate-to-Severe
Collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the following: the driver’s
seat position sensor
, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, front seat belt
tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.

Seats
Adjusting the Seat
Always make seat adjustments before driving.
Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
a Allow sufficient space.
b Move back.
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible
while al
lowing you to maintain full control of the
vehicle. You should be able to sit upright, well
back in the seat and be able to adequately press
the pedals without leaning forward, and grip the
steering wheel comfortably. The passenger’s seat
should be adjusted in a similar manner, so that it
is as far back from the front airbag in the
dashboard as possible.
Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable,
upright position, leaving ample space between
your chest and the airbag cover in the center of
the steering wheel.
The front seat passenger should also adjust their
seat-back to a comfortable, upright position.
Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the
oc
cupant’s chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the
chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a
seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
3 WARNING
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the
fr
ont airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.

ash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are equipped to the front seats.
In order for the head restraint system to work properly:
Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.
Do not place any objects between an occupant and the seat-back.
Install each restraint in its proper location.
Adjusting the front seat head restraint positions
Head restraints are most effective for protection
against whiplash and other rear impact crash
injuries when the center of the back of the
occupant’s head rests against the center of the
restraint. The tops of the occupant’s ears should
be level with the center height of the restraint.
3 WARNING
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and
incr
eases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before
driving.

Seat Belts
About Your Seat Belts
Seat belts are the single most effective safety device because they keep you
c
onnected to the vehicle so that you can take advantage of many built-in safety
features. They also help keep you from being thrown against the inside of the vehicle,
against any passengers, or out of the vehicle. When worn properly, seat belts also
keep your body properly positioned in a crash so that you can take full advantage of
the additional protection provided by the airbags.
Lap/shoulder seat belts
All four seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with emergency
locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely while keeping
some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor locks to
restrain your body.
The front passenger’s and rear seat belts also have a lockable retractor for use with
child seats.
Protecting Child Passengers
u
P.26
In addition, seat belts help protect you in almost every type of crash, including:
frontal impacts
side impacts
rear impacts
rollovers
Seat belts cannot completely protect you in every crash. But in most cases, seat belts
can r
educe your risk of serious injury.
Most states and all Canadian provinces and territories require you to wear seat belts.
If a rear seat passenger moves around and extends the seat belt, the lockable
retractor may activate. If this happens, release the retractor by unfastening the seat
belt and allow the belt to retract completely. Then, refasten the belt.
3 WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of serious injury or
death in a cr
ash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.
72
!
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the
effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a
crash.
Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be
very seriously injured in a crash.
Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the
protective capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
!
If you extend the seat belt too quickly, it will lock in place.
If this happens
, slightly retract the seat belt, then extend it slowly.
Seat Belt Reminder
The beeper will periodically sound and the indicator will blink while the vehicle is
mo
ving until the seat belt is fastened.
The indicator will also come on if a front passenger does not fasten their seat belt
within six seconds after the power mode is set to ON.
When no one is sitting in the front passenger’s seat, the indicator will not come on
and the beeper will not sound.
The indicator also may not come on and the beeper may not sound when the
occupant is not heavy enough to trigger the weight sensor. Such occupants (e.g.,
infants and smaller children) should be moved to the rear seat as a deploying front
airbag likely will injure or kill them.

Any of the rear seat belts have come off while driving.
The system will not detect a passenger in the rear seats who has not fastened the
seat bel
t.
The driver should check the status of the rear passengers’ seat belts at the start of
each trip and each time a passenger is seated in the rear seats, using the driver
information interface as an aid.
An alert will sound if a passenger in the rear seats unfastens the seat belt while the
vehicle is in motion or if motion resumes while the graphic is red.
The system does not monitor harnesses that are part of a child seat, nor the anchors
of the LATCH system. While the system can inform you that a seat belt is fastened, it
cannot determine whether a child seat is properly installed or used.

Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enhance safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a moderate-to-severe
fr
ontal or side collision, sometimes even if the collision is not severe enough to inflate
the front airbags or the driver’s knee airbag.

The seat belt tensioners can only operate once. If a tensioner is activated, the SRS
indicator will come on. Have a dealer replace the tensioner and thoroughly inspect

[1 ] Pull the seat belt out slowly.
[2 ] Insert the latch plate (a) into the buckle

buckle is secure.
≫
Make sure that the belt is not twisted or caught
on anything.
[3 ] Position the lap part of the belt as low as
possible across your hips (see illustration),
then pull up on the shoulder part of the belt
so the lap part fits snugly. This lets your
strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash
and reduces the chance of internal injuries.
[4 ] If necessary, pull up on the belt again to
remove any slack, then check that the belt
rests across the center of your chest and
over your shoulder. This spreads the forces
of a crash over the strongest bones in your
upper body.
To release the belt, push the red PRES
S button and then guide the belt by hand until
it has retracted completely.
When exiting the vehicle, be sure the belt is properly stowed so that it will not get
caught in the closing door.

Advice for Pregnant Women
Consider alternative:
If you are pregnant, the best way to protect
yourself and your unborn child when driving or
riding in a vehicle is to always wear a seat belt.
When positioning the seat belt, wear the shoulder
belt section across the chest, avoiding the
abdomen, and keep the lap belt portion as low as
possible across the hips (see illustration).
Each time you have a checkup, ask your doctor if it is okay for you to drive.
!
To reduce the risk of injuries to both you and your unborn child that
can be caused b
y an inflating front airbag:
When driving, sit upright and adjust the seat as far back as possible while
allowing full control of the vehicle.
When sitting in the front passenger’s seat, adjust the seat as far back as
possible.
Seat Belt Inspection
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
≫
If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Only use a mild
soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make sure the belt is
completely dry before allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper
pr
otection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of protection
in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after any collision.
3 WARNING
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or death if
the seat bel
ts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon as
possible.

Maximum Load Limit
About Maximum Load Limit
The maximum load for your vehicle is 680 lbs (308 kg). See the Tire and Loading
Inf
ormation label attached to the driver’s doorjamb.
3 WARNING
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause
a cr
ash in which you can be hurt or killed. Follow all load limits and other
loading guidelines in this manual.
Label Example
This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories, and the
tongue load if you are towing a trailer.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit-
[1 ] L
ocate the statement “The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your
vehicle’s placard.
[2 ] Determine the combined weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
[3 ] Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers
from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
[4 ] The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount
equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers
83
1
Before Driving
in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs.(1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
[5 ] Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed
the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in
step 4.
[6 ] If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories, cargo, and
tr
ailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) : The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, all accessories, all cargo.

buildup o
f road surface water.
If necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the pedal several times.
!
If you hear a continuous metallic friction sound when applying the
br
akes, this is caused by the brake wear indicator rubbing on the brake
rotor and indicates that the brake pads need to be replaced. Have your
vehicle checked by a dealer. If you hear only an occasional squeak or
squeal when you initially apply the brake pedal, this may be normal
and caused by high frequency vibration of the brake pads against the
rotating brake disc.

There is a problem with automatic brake hold system.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS helps maintain steering control and vehicle posture by preventing the wheels
fr
om locking up during sudden braking or braking on slippery surfaces when driving at
speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).
≫
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also balances the
front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.
≫
You should never pump the brake pedal. Let the ABS work for you by always keeping firm,
steady pressure on the brake pedal. This is sometimes referred to as “stomp and steer.”
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when the ABS is working. Depress the brake pedal and
keep holding the pedal firmly down.
The ABS is not designed for the purpose of reducing the time or distance it takes for a vehicle
to stop: It is designed to limit brake lockup which can lead to skidding and loss of steering
control.
!
The ABS may not function properly if tire type and size are mixed.
Mak
e sure to use the same size and type of tire, and the air pressures
as specified.
!
If the ABS indicat
or comes on while driving, there may be a problem
with the system. While normal braking will not be affected, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer immediately.
What to Do If
I hear a screeching sound when I depress the brake pedal. Why?
To satisfy the performance under a wide range of driving conditions, a high
per
formance braking system is equipped on your vehicle. You may hear the brake
squeal under certain conditions, such as vehicle speed, deceleration, humidity, and
so on.

Fuel Information
Fuel Requirement
Unleaded gasoline, pump octane number 87 or higher
Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic knocking noise
that can lead t
o engine damage.
≫
Some gasoline today is blended with oxygenates such as ethanol. Your vehicle is designed to
operate on oxygenated gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol by volume. Do not use gasoline
containing methanol. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service
station or switch to another brand of gasoline.
!
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that
help pr
event fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to
maintain good performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we
strongly recommend the use of gasoline that does NOT contain
harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT, if such
gasoline is available.
Use of gasoline with these additives may adversely affect performance, and
cause the malfunction indicator lamp on your instrument panel to come on. If
this happens, contact a dealer for service.
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline
Because the level of detergency and additives in gasoline vary in the market, Honda
endorses the use o
f “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” where available to help maintain
the performance and reliability of your vehicle. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline meets a
new gasoline standard jointly established by leading automotive manufacturers to
meet the needs of today’s advanced engines.
Qualifying gasoline retailers will, in most cases, identify their gasoline as having met
“TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards at the retail location. This fuel is
guaranteed to contain the proper level of detergent additives and be free of metallic
additives. The proper level of detergent additives, and absence of harmful metallic
additives in gasoline, help avoid buildup of deposits in your engine and emission
control system.

The filler nozzle automatically stops to leave space in the fuel tank so that fuel does not
overflow as a result of changes in air temperature. Do not continue to add fuel after the filler
nozzle has automatically stopped. Additional fuel can exceed the full tank capacity and cause
fuel to spill.
If you repeatedly fill the tank with less than the specified minimum amount of fuel, the
malfunction indicator lamp may come on. If this happens, have your vehicle checked by a
dealer.

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
Alerts pedestrians when a vehicle is propelled solely by electricity, approaching at
speeds ar

Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA® helps stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than
what w
as intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine and motor output and selectively applying the brakes.
The main function of the VSA® system is generally known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
The system also includes a traction control function.
!
VSA® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations and does not
c
ontrol the entire braking system. You still need to drive and corner at
speeds appropriate for the conditions and always leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
!
The VSA® may not function properly if tire type and size are mixed.
Mak
e sure to use the same size and type of tire, and the air pressures
as specified.

You may also notice some noise from the hydraulic
brake system.
!
When the VSA® system indicator comes on and stays on while driving,
ther
e may be a problem with the system.
While this may not interfere with normal driving, have your vehicle checked by a
dealer immediately.
VSA® On and Off
a VSA® OFF Indicator
To partially disable VSA® functionality/features,
pr
ess and hold (VSA®OFF) button (b) until
you hear a beep.
The traction control function becomes less
eff
ective. This allows for the wheels to spin more
freely at low speed.
Even if the system is turned off, it will
automatically turn on every time the power mode
is turned on.
!
In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle gets stuck in shallow
mud or fr
esh snow, it may be easier to free it with the VSA® temporarily
switched off. Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to switch
VSA® on again.
Agile Handling Assist
Lightly brakes the front wheels, as needed, when you turn the steering wheel, and
helps suppor
t the vehicle’s stability and performance during cornering.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Instead of directly measuring the pressure in
each tire, the TPMS on this vehicle monitors and
compares the rolling radius and rotational
characteristics of each wheel and tire while you
are driving to determine if one or more tires are
significantly under-inflated.
This will cause the low tire pressure/TPMS
indicator (a) to come on and the Tire pressures
low message (b) to appear.
c Appears when an
y one tire is significantly under-inflated. (e.g., a front right
side tire)
d Appears when two or more tires are significantly under-inflated.
The system does not monitor the tires when driving at low speed.
Conditions such as low ambient temperature and altitude change directly affect tire pressure
and can trigger the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator to come on.
Tires can become under-inflated in colder weather.
Tires can become overinflated in warmer weather.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator will not come on as a result of overinflation.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on with a delay or may not come on
at al
l when:
You rapidly accelerate, decelerate, or turn the steering wheel.
You drive on snowy or slippery roads.
The tire loses air pressure rapidly.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on under the following conditions:
There is a heavier and uneven load on the tires than the condition at calibration.
System Calibration
You must start calibration every time you adjust the pressure in one or more tires,
r
otate the tires, or replace one or more tires.
2
Driving Operation > Driving Features

When you calibrate the system, do the following:
Audio System Basic Operation with 9" Color
Touchscreen
u
P.150
[1 ] Press the
(Home) button then select
Vehicle Settings.
[2 ] Select TPMS Calibration.
[3 ] Select Calibrate.
≫
Calibration starts.
≫
If the Calibration Failed to Start message
appears, repeat the procedure.
≫
The calibration process finishes automatically.
Make sure the vehicle is at a complete stop and the shift position is in P when you calibrate
the system.
Set the cold tire pressure in all four tires before calibrating the system.
Checking Tires
u
P.317
The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes of cumulative driving at speeds
between 30-60 mph (48-97 km/h). During this period, if the ignition is turned on and the
vehicle is not moved within a certain amount of time, you may notice the low tire pressure
indicator comes on briefly. This is normal and indicates that the calibration process is not yet
complete.
!
The system may not function properly if tire type and size are mixed.
Mak
e sure to use the same size and type of tire as specified.
!
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even when the
pr
operly inflated specified regular tires are installed, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal
Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthl
y 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 inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
2
Driving Operation > Driving Features
131
2
Driving Operation
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped
with a tir
e 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 s
top and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantl
y 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
maintenance, 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 TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicat
or to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may
not be able t
o 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.
2
Driving Operation > Driving Features
132
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one
or mor
e tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.

1. HONDA reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to and use of the
SOFTWARE or SERVICES if you are found to be in violation of this AGREEMENT or as
reasonably deemed necessary by HONDA.
2.Eligibility/Registration/Activation. The SOFTWARE is intended for and available to
individuals who (a) are of legal age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence (and at
least 18 years of age), or are younger than 18 years of age and possess a valid
driver’s license issued by their jurisdiction of residence, and (b) own or have
permissive access to a compatible VEHICLE. We do not knowingly collect any
information, including personal information, from children under 13. If we learn or are
notified that we have collected personal information of a child under 13, we will
immediately take steps to delete such information.
3.Use of PROVIDER SERVICES through the SOFTWARE. Certain PROVIDER
SERVICES made available through the SOFTWARE may require that you register or
otherwise have an account with the PROVIDER and agree to PROVIDER TERMS. Any
use of any of such PROVIDER SERVICES within the SOFTWARE is subject to this
AGREEMENT and the applicable PROVIDER TERMS. HONDA does not exercise control
over such PROVIDER SERVICES and is not responsible or liable for the availability,
security, or content of such PROVIDER SERVICES, and the inclusion of any PROVIDER
SERVICES does not imply a referral from, the approval of, or the endorsement by
HONDA of such PROVIDER SERVICES. HONDA is not responsible or liable, directly or
indirectly, for any damage relating to or resulting from your use of the PROVIDER
SERVICES.
4.Links to Third Party Sites: The SOFTWARE may provide you with the ability to
access third-party sites and content through the use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES.
The third-party sites and content are not under the control of HONDA. HONDA is not
responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for such third-party websites and their

websites and content.

authorized third parties’) use of the SOFTWARE and SERVICES remains in compliance

TERMS. You acknowledge and agree that any use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES
occurring through your VEHICLE will be deemed your actions and that HONDA and
PROVIDERS may rely upon such actions. You agree to immediately notify us if you
suspect fraudulent or abusive activity involving the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. If you so
notify us or if we otherwise suspect fraudulent or abusive activity, you agree to
cooperate with us in any fraud investigation and to use any fraud prevention
measures we prescribe. Your failure to immediately notify us or cooperate to use such
measures will result in your liability for all fraudulent usage or abusive activity
associated with your VEHICLE.

Controls > General Information on the Audio System
204
6.SOFTWARE Updates. The SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be updated when your
VEHICLE is serviced by a DEALER or remotely, over-the-air, by HONDA from time to
time; such updates may occur with or without further notice or your future consent.
The SOFTWARE may be updated at HONDA’s discretion and for any purpose
including, without limitation, to patch or otherwise improve the SOFTWARE or
SERVICES functionality, security, or stability. All updates to the SOFTWARE and
SERVICES are subject to this AGREEMENT and any other applicable HONDA TERMS
and PROVIDER TERMS.
7.Uninstalling, Removing, and Replacing the SOFTWARE. Replacing SOFTWARE or
HONDA SERVICES with software or firmware not provided and installed by HONDA or
a DEALER will render all representations and warranties for the SOFTWARE, HONDA
SERVICES, and VEHICLE functionality reliant upon the SOFTWARE or HONDA
SERVICES null and void.
D. SOFTWARE Operational Notices and Warnings
1.Vehicle Geolocation Information. You acknowledge that your VEHICLE may be
equipped with certain traffic and map features. The traffic feature will automatically
collect and transmit, through GPS technology, your Vehicle’s current location
(longitude and latitude), travel direction and speed (“VEHICLE GEOLOCATION
INFORMATION”) to HONDA and PROVIDERS. The VEHICLE GEOLOCATION
INFORMATION is used by HONDA and PROVIDERS to provide traffic and navigation-
related information to you, but may also be used to provide other SERVICES or offers
to you. HONDA will not use such VEHICLE GEOLOCATION INFORMATION for its own
marketing efforts, or provide such information to unaffiliated third parties for their
own purposes, without your express consent.
2.Potential Map Inaccuracy and Route Safety. Maps used by this system may be
inaccurate because of changes in roads, traffic controls, routing, or driving conditions.
Always use good judgment and common sense when following suggested routes. Do
not follow the route suggestions if doing so would result in an unsafe or illegal driving
maneuver, if you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would be directed
into an area that you consider unsafe. Do not rely on any navigation features included
in the system to route you to emergency services. Not all emergency services such as
police, fire stations, hospitals, or clinics are likely to be contained in the map database
for such navigation features. Ask local authorities or an emergency services operator
for such locations and routes. The driver is ultimately responsible for the safe
operation of the vehicle and therefore, must evaluate whether it is safe to follow the
suggested directions. Any navigation features are provided only as an aid. Make your
driving decisions based on your observations of local conditions and existing traffic
regulations. Navigation features are not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any
route suggestions made by the SOFTWARE or SERVICES should never replace any
local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe driving
practices.

3.Speech Recognition: You acknowledge and understand that HONDA and
PROVIDERS may record, retain, and use voices commands when you use the speech
recognition components of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. You and all VEHICLE
operators and passengers (a) consent to the recording and retention of voice
commands in support of providing speech recognition components and (b) release
HONDA and PROVIDERS from all claims, liabilities, and losses that may result from
any use of such recorded voice commands. Recognition errors are inherent in speech
recognition. It is your responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions
included in the system and address any errors. Neither HONDA nor PROVIDERS will
be liable for any damages arising out of errors in the speech recognition process.
4.Distraction Hazards. Navigation features may require manual (non-verbal) input or
setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or insert data while driving can seriously
distract your attention and could cause a crash or other serious consequences; the
ability to undertake such interactions may also be limited by state or local law, which
laws you are responsible to know and follow. Even occasional short scans of the
screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving
at a critical time. Pull over and stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before
attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Do not
raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear
outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these
sounds could result in a crash.

E. Information Collection and Storage
1.Information Collection, Use, Transmission and Storage of Data. Consent to Use of
Data: You agree that HONDA and PROVIDERS may collect and use your information
gathered in any manner as part of product support services related to the SOFTWARE
or related services. HONDA may share such information with third parties, including,
without limitation, PROVIDERS, third party software and services suppliers, their
affiliates and/or their designated agents, solely to improve their products or to provide
services or technologies to you. HONDA, third party software and systems suppliers,
their affiliates and/or their designated agent may disclose this information to others,
but not in a form that personally identifies you.
2.Information Storage. Depending on the type of multimedia system you have in your
VEHICLE, certain information may be stored for ease of use of the SOFTWARE
including, without limitation, search history, location history in certain applications,
previous and saved destinations, map locations within certain applications, and
device numbers and contact information.
(a) Vehicle Health Information. Your VEHICLE may remotely transmit information
regarding the status and health of your VEHICLE (“VEHICLE INFORMATION”) to
HONDA without notification to you. VEHICLE INFORMATION may contain VEHICLE
maintenance and malfunction status that is derived from VEHICLE diagnostic data
and includes, but is not limited to, status of powered doors and windows, battery life
data, battery charging data, VEHICLE speed, coolant temperature, air compressor
revolution, output power, warning codes, diagnostic trouble codes, fuel injection
volume, and engine rotations per minute. VEHICLE HEALTH INFORMATION may be
used by HONDA for research and development, to deliver HONDA SERVICES and
information to you, and to contact you, and is retained only for a period of time
necessary to fulfill these goals.
(b) VEHICLE Geolocation Data (non-navigation/map based). If you opt-in to
geolocation-based SERVICES, your vehicle’s geolocation data (latitude and longitude)
will be automatically sent from your VEHICLE to HONDA and PROVIDERS.
(c) You understand that the inputting or uploading of information to your VEHICLE’s
multimedia system or the SOFTWARE or SERVICES is at your own risk and that
HONDA is not responsible for unauthorized access to or use of any personal or other
information. All information uploaded to the SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be
stored on your VEHICLES’s multimedia system and you understand that the security
and safety of your VEHICLE’s multimedia system is your sole responsibility.

F. NO WARRANTY. You understand and agree that your use of the SOFTWARE and
SERVICES are solely at your own risk and that you will be solely responsible for any
damage to your VEHICLE’s multimedia system or any other equipment or any loss of
data that may result from your use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. THE SOFTWARE
AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. WE
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. HONDA makes
no warranties that the SOFTWARE or SERVICES will meet your requirements, or that
the SOFTWARE or SERVICES will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, non-infringing or
error free. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any and all charges,
costs or expenses associated with your use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. Advice or
information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the
SOFTWARE or SERVICES are provided for informational purposes only and will not
create any warranty not expressly made herein. You should not rely on any such
information or advice. We assume no liability or responsibility for any errors or
omissions in the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. We do not make any warranty or
representation that your use of the material displayed on, or obtained through, the
SOFTWARE or SERVICES is non-infringing of any rights of any third party. Any decision
or action taken by you on the basis of information or content provided via the
application is at your sole discretion and risk. HONDA and PROVIDERS are not
responsible or liable for any such decision, or for the accuracy, completeness,
usefulness, or availability of any content or information displayed, transmitted, or
otherwise made available via the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. To the extent jurisdictions
do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, some of the above exclusions may
not apply to you.
G. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. You and HONDA are each waiving important rights.
1.Limitations on YOUR liability. HONDA cannot recover from you any consequential,
indirect, incidental, or special damages, or attorney’s fees in connection with your use
of the SOFTWARE or HONDA SERVICES. HONDA WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
ALLOWED BY LAW ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN DIRECT,
COMPENSATORY DAMAGES AS LIMITED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
3
Controls > General Information on the Audio System
208
2.Limitation on HONDA and PROVIDER liability. Neither HONDA nor PROVIDERS will
be liable to you or any other party for consequential, indirect, incidental, special, or
punitive damages (including without limitation lost profits) in connection with your
use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES, even if HONDA or PROVIDERS are aware of the
possibility of such damages. These limitations apply to all claims, including, without
limitation, claims in contract and tort (such as negligence, product liability and strict
liability). To the extent that a jurisdiction does not permit the exclusion or limitation of
liability as set forth herein our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by
law in such states. If HONDA or PROVIDERS are found liable to you for any reason,
you agree that the aggregate liability of all these parties to you for any claim is limited
to ten U.S. dollars (US $10.00). Neither HONDA nor any PROVIDER would have
agreed to provide the SOFTWARE or SERVICES to you if you did not agree to this
limitation. This amount is the sole and exclusive liability of HONDA and PROVIDERS to
you, and is payable as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Except where
prohibited by law, you may not bring any claim against HONDA or any third-party
beneficiary more than two (2) years after the claim arises. We do not have any liability
for SOFTWARE or SERVICES interruptions of any length.
(a) Release of HONDA and PROVIDERS For yourself and anyone else claiming under
you, you agree to release and discharge HONDA, PROVIDERS, their respective
officers, directors, and employees, and each third-party beneficiary from all claims,
liabilities and losses in connection with the SOFTWARE or SERVICES, including, but
not limited to claims for personal injury or property damage arising from the total or
partial failure of performance of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES, even if caused by or
based upon the negligence, gross negligence, strict products liability, Deceptive Trade
Practices Act violations, bad faith, or breach of warranty of us or the malfunction of
the SOFTWARE or SOFTWARE SERVICES. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN DIRECT,
COMPENSATORY DAMAGES AS LIMITED IN THIS AGREEMENT. YOU HEREBY
RELEASE AND DISCHARGE HONDA AND ITS LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS
(INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTIES PROVIDING ALL OR PART OF THE SOFTWARE OR
SERVICES) FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, EXPENSES AND LIABILITY
ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY INJURIES, DAMAGES, OR LOSSES TO ANY
PERSON (INCLUDING DEATH) OR PROPERTY OF ANY KIND RESULTING IN WHOLE
OR PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR
SERVICES.
H. Survival. You agree that the limitations of liability and indemnities in this
AGREEMENT will survive even after the AGREEMENT has ended. These limitations of
liability apply not only to you, but to anyone using the SOFTWARE or SERVICES via
your VEHICLE, to anyone making a claim on your behalf, and to any claims made by
your family, employees, customers, or others arising out of or relating to your
VEHICLE, the SOFTWARE, or SERVICES.

I. Availability/Interruption. The SOFTWARE and certain SERVICES are made
available through your VEHICLE’s compatible multimedia system when the VEHICLE
is turned on. Certain SERVICES may be available only through your compatible mobile
device when it is within the operating range of the VEHICLE and a wireless carrier.
The availability of the SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be subject to transmission
limitation or interruption, including but not limited to technical obsolesce or
sunsetting of the hardware, software or firmware, inside of or external to the Vehicle,
required for data transmission or receipt. HONDA does not guarantee that the
SOFTWARE, SERVICES, or any portion thereof will be available at all times or in all

Handling of the Camera
Avoid high interior temperatures to prevent the camera’s sensing system from shutting off.
≫
It is recommended to find a shady area or face the front of the vehicle away from the sun
when parking.
To avoid concentrating heat on the camera, do not cover the camera when using a reflective
sun shade.
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the windshield, the hood, or the front grille that
could obstruct the camera’s field of vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.
Do not scratch, nick, or cause any other damage to the windshield.
≫
Damage within the camera’s field of vision can cause the system to operate abnormally. If
this occurs, we recommend that you replace the windshield with a genuine Honda
replacement windshield.
≫
After replacing the windshield, have a dealer recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of
the camera is necessary for the system to operate properly.
≫
Making even minor repairs within the camera’s field of vision or installing an aftermarket
replacement windshield may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel.
≫
It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines
properly.
Do not install anything on the hood or front grille that obstructs the camera’s view.
If the Some driv
er assist systems cannot operate: Camera temperature too high
message appears:
Use the climate control system to cool down the interior and, if necessary, also use defroster

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
About Collision Mitigation Braking System™
(CMBS™)
The system can assist you when it determines there is a possibility of your vehicle
c
olliding with a vehicle (including motorcycles) ahead from behind, an oncoming
vehicle in front, a vehicle approaching from the side, a pedestrian, or someone riding
a bicycle (moving bicycle). The CMBS™ is designed to alert you when the potential for
a collision is determined, as well as assist in reducing speed, avoiding collisions, and
reducing collision severity.
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS™ is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does not
prevent collisions nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your responsibility to
operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to the driving
conditions.
!
When performing vehicle maintenance or inspection using a chassis
dynamomet
er or free roller, turn off the CMBS™.
!
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find an
y unusual behavior
of the system (e.g., the warning message appears too frequently).
System Operation
The system starts monitoring the roadway ahead when your vehicle speed is about 3
mph (5 km
/h) or above and will search for a vehicle (including motorcycles),
pedestrian, or moving bicycle in front of you. CMBS™ operates when the system
determines there is a possibility of a collision.
Front Wide View Camera
u
P.221
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision.
≫
Depending on circumstances, the CMBS™ may not go through all of the stages before initiating
the last stage.
<Stage one> Situations where there is a risk of a collision with the vehicle ahead
o
f you
The visual alert flashes. If the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you continues to decrease, the audible alert sounds in addition to the visual alert
flashing.
224
<Stage two> Situations where risk of a collision has increased and time to
respond is reduced
Visual and audible alerts come on and the brakes are lightly applied.
<Stage three> Situations where it is difficult to avoid a collision
Visual and audible alerts come on and the brakes are forcefully applied.
The system provides visual and audible alerts of a
possible collision, and stops if the collision is
avoided.
≫
Take appropriate action to prevent a collision (apply
the brakes, change lanes, etc.).
When the CMBS™ applies the brakes, your vehicle’s brake lights will illuminate.
After CMBS™ is activated and your vehicle stops or decelerates, CMBS™ will be deactivated
based on the system’s judgment.
The CMBS™ may be canceled when you operate the steering wheel, brake, or accelerator
pedal to avoid a collision.
When the CMBS™ is activated, it will continue to operate even if the accelerator pedal is
partially depressed. However, it will be canceled if the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
You can change the distance (Long/Normal/Short) between vehicles at which the
system’s earliest collision alert will come on. When in Long, visual and audible alerts
come on at a longer distance from a vehicle ahead than in Normal setting, and in
Short, at a shorter distance than in Normal.

Low Speed Braking Control
About Low Speed Braking Control
Using sonar sensors, this system can detect if there is danger of a potential collision
with a w
all or other obstacle during normal driving or when the accelerator pedal is
depressed with too much force. The system then assists in avoiding collisions and
reducing damage from impact through assistive braking and/or assistive driving
power suppression.
Sonar Sensors
u
P.222
If Low Speed Braking Control activates in a situation where you do not want automatic brake
application (such as when the vehicle is between two railroad crossing gates), simply press
the brake pedal to deactivate the system and then continue to drive as intended.
In order to prevent the system from activating when not needed, always turn it off during
vehicle maintenance; when loading on ships, trucks, and so on; when using a chassis
dynamometer or free rollers for inspection; or when washing the car in a conveyor type car
wash machine.
After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once, it will not activate again for the same
obstacle. It can be activated again after driving for a certain distance after last activation.
Low Speed Braking Control activates separately when moving forward and reversing. (For
example, if it activates when moving forward, it can be activated again immediately if
reversing.) However, if assistive braking has been activated, in order to activate assistive
driving power suppression again, it is necessary to drive for a certain distance to reset the
system.
3 WARNING
The Low Speed Braking Control System cannot avoid all collisions and may
not r
educe damage in each situation where the accelerator is mistakenly or
aggressively pressed. Overreliance on the system may result in a collision
with serious injury or death. Always check your surroundings, your shift
position, and your pedal use. The driver remains responsible for safely
operating the vehicle.
System Operation
Assistive Braking
Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving
betw
een approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of a
collision with a detected wall or other obstacles, as well as providing assistance with
braking.

accelerator pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system will inform you with
a visual and audible alert. At the same time, the system will prevent sudden forward
or backward movement by limiting the output of the power system, then assistive
braking will activate when you get closer to the obstacle.

Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure Mitigation system has limitations.
Overreliance on the Road Departure Mitigation system may result in a collision. It is
al
ways your responsibility to keep the vehicle within your driving lane.
System Operation
The camera monitors left and right lane markings
in white (or yellow), the outer edge of the
pavement (into grass or gravel road shoulder), or
a detected oncoming vehicle. If your vehicle
approaches any detected lane markings, the
outer edge of the pavement (into grass or gravel

when the turn signals have not been engaged, the
system activates.
≫
If the system cannot detect lane markings (in white
or yellow), no assistance will be provided to avoid
approaching oncoming vehicles.
In addition to a visual alert, the system assists with steering and alerts you with rapid
steering wheel vibrations to help you remain within the detected lane.
The system cancels assisting operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings or approaching the outer edge of the pavement
(into grass or gravel road shoulder) or an oncoming vehicle.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.
The Road Departure Mitigation system may automatically shut off and the safety support
indicator (amber) comes and stays on.
There are times when you may not notice the Road Departure Mitigation system functions due
to your operation of the vehicle or road surface conditions.

3 WARNING
Improper use of ACC with Low Speed Follow can lead to a crash. Use ACC
with L
ow Speed Follow only when driving on expressways or freeways and
in good road and weather conditions.
ACC with Low Speed Follow has limited braking capability and may not stop
your vehicle in time to avoid a collision with a vehicle that quickly stops in
front of you. Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal if the conditions
require.
Exiting a vehicle that has been stopped while the ACC with Low Speed
Follow system is operating can result in the vehicle moving without
operator control. A vehicle that moves without operator control can cause a
crash, resulting in serious injury or death.
Never exit a vehicle when the vehicle is stopped by ACC with Low Speed

Even if the interval between your vehicle and the vehicle detected ahead is short, ACC with
Low Speed Follow may start accelerating your vehicle under the following circumstances:
≫
The vehicle ahead of you is going at almost the same speed as, or faster than, your vehicle.
≫
A vehicle that cuts in front of you is going faster than your vehicle, gradually increasing the
interval between the vehicles.
When the vehicle ahead of you moves away, such as when entering an interchange or rest
area, ACC with Low Speed Follow may continue to maintain the set following-interval for a
short time.
When ACC with Low Speed Follow slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s
brake lights will illuminate.
While driving down steep hills, ACC with Low Speed Follow brakes to inhibit excessive
acceleration for maintaining the set speed. However, the vehicle speed may become faster
than the set speed.
ACC with Low Speed Follow may temporarily control the interval between your vehicle and the
vehicle in adjacent lane or surroundings of your vehicle depending on the road conditions
(e.g., curves) or vehicle conditions (e.g., operating the steering wheel or the vehicle location in
the lane).
While ACC with Low Speed Follow is in operation, if the deceleration paddle selector is used
or the Honda S+ Shift is turned ON, then ACC with Low Speed Follow will be canceled.
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly,
or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, the
system provides visual and audible alerts of a
possible collision.
≫
Depress the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate
interval from the vehicle ahead.
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed. In this case, there is no audible or visual alert
even if a vehicle is in the ACC with Low Speed Follow range.
ACC with Low Speed Follow stays on unless you cancel it. Once you release the accelerator
pedal, the system resumes an appropriate speed for keeping the following-interval while a
vehicle ahead is within the ACC with Low Speed Follow range.
You can also set the system to beep when a vehicle detected in front of you comes in

About Traffic Sign Recognition System
While driving, road signs (such as speed limit signs) detected by the front wide view
camer
a are displayed on the gauge to inform you of road sign information.
Front Wide View Camera
u
P.221
Not all signs may be displayed, but any signs posted on roadsides should not be ignored. The
system does not work on the designated traffic signs of all the countries you travel, nor in all
situations. Do not rely too much on the system. Always drive at speeds appropriate for the
road conditions.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield within the camera’s field of vision can
cause the system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we recommend that you replace the
windshield with a genuine Honda replacement windshield. Making even minor repairs within
the camera’s field of vision or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield may also
cause the system to operate abnormally. After replacing the windshield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of the camera is necessary for the system to
operate properly.
To help reduce the likelihood that high interior temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing
system to shut off, find a shady area or face the front of the vehicle away from the sun when
parking. If you use a reflective sun shade, do not allow it to cover the camera housing.
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on it.
System Operation
When the camera detects tr
affic signs while the vehicle is being driven, the system
displays recognized signs in your vehicle for a programmed time and distance. If a
speed limit sign (a) is detected and the vehicle exceeds the speed limit by a
programmed threshold, the speed limit sign icon will blink.

Maintenance > Maintenance Under the Hood
310
We recommend you check the engine coolant level every time you refuel. Check the
reserve tank first. If it is completely empty, also check the coolant level in the radiator.
Add the engine coolant accordingly.
If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not available, you may use another major brand of non-
silicate coolant as a temporary replacement. Check that it is a high quality coolant
recommended for aluminum engines. Continued use of any non-Honda coolant can
result in corrosion, causing the cooling system to malfunction or fail. Have the cooling
system flushed and refilled with Honda antifreeze/coolant as soon as possible.
Do not add rust inhibitors or other additives to your vehicle’s cooling system. They
may not be compatible with the coolant or with the engine components.
3 WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause hot coolant to
spr
ay out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator
cap.
!
Genuine Honda engine coolant is a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and
w
ater that can withstand freezing at temperatures as low as about
-31°F (-35°C). If your vehicle is consistently subjected to
temperatures below this, the concentration of antifreeze in the coolant
should be increased. Consult a dealer for details.

Checking and Maintaining Tires
Checking Tires
Have a dealer check the tires if you feel a consistent vibration while driving. New tires
and an
y that have been removed and reinstalled should be properly balanced.
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 release 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.
4
U.S. models
Whenever tire pressure is adjusted, you must calibrate the TPMS.
3 WARNING
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a
cr
ash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation and
maintenance.
Tire Requirements for Safe Driving
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good
c
ondition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
Tires are the correct size and type.
The ground beneath the tires is in good condition.
The tire pressure is correct.
The tires do not have any wear, scratches, cracks, or foreign objects.
Inflation guidelines
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and
c
omfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or specifications page for the specified
pressure.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and
are more likely to fail from overheating.
Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, 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.
317
6
Maintenance
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in
all tires. 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 dealer check the wheel alignment.
Excessive tread wear.
Cracks or other damage around valve stem.
Tire and Loading Information Label
The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and loading
inf
ormation.
Label Example
The tire and loading information label attached to the driver’s doorjamb contains:
a The number o
f people your vehicle can carry.

Glossary of Tire Terminology
Cold Tire Pressure– The tir
e air pressure when the vehicle has been parked for at
least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Load Rating– Means the maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given
inflation pressure.
Maximum Inflation Pressure– The maximum tire air pressure that the tire can hold.
Maximum Load Rating– Means the load rating for a tire at the maximum permissible
inflation pressure for that tire.
Recommended Inflation Pressure– The cold tire inflation pressure recommended
by the manufacturer.
Treadwear Indicators (TWI)– Means the projections within the principal grooves
designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.
DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles)
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety
R
equirements. All tires are also graded for treadwear, traction,
and temperature performance according to Department of
Transportation (DOT) standards. The following explains these
gradings.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire
side
wall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
For example:
Treadwear 200
6
Maintenance > Checking and Maintaining Tires
320
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear
r
ate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those gr
ades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on
s
traight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
6
Maintenance > Checking and Maintaining Tires
321
6
Maintenance
Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
r
epresenting the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can
lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a
tir
e that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
Wear Indicators
a Wear Indicator
The groove where the wear indicator is located is
about 1/16 inch (about 1.6 mm) shal
lower than
elsewhere on the tire. If the tread has worn so
that the indicator is exposed, replace the tire.
Worn out tires have poor traction on wet roads.
Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
c
onditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five
years old. All tires should be removed from service after 10 years from the date of
manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.
6
Maintenance > Checking and Maintaining Tires
322
Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum c
old tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a
different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems such as the ABS and
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) system to work incorrectly.
It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the
front or rear tires in pairs.
Make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheels.
3 WARNING
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a cr
ash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in this owner’s manual.
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season marked M+S tir
es, or snow tires;
reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles when driving.
Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent
skidding.
Use snow tires, or all season tires when necessary or according to the law.
When mounting, refer to the following points.
Tire Rotation
Rotating tires according to the maintenance schedule helps to distribute wear more
e
venly and increase tire life.

Reporting Safety Defects
About Reporting
In the U.S.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a
cr
ash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to notifying American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an
investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group
of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer, or American Honda Motor
Co., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-
free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-888-275-9171); go to
http://
www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New

Emissions Testing
Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has readiness code as part of the onboard self diagnostic system.
Some states use these codes for testing to verify whether your vehicle's emissions
c
omponents are working properly.
The codes may not be read properly if testing is performed just after the 12-volt
battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check the state of the readiness codes, set the power mode to ON, without turning
the power system on. The malfunction indicator lamp will come on for 15 to 20
seconds. If the malfunction indicator lamp then turns off, the readiness codes are set.
If the malfunction indicator lamp blinks five to ten times, the readiness codes are not
set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested and the readiness codes are not set,
prepare the vehicle for testing by doing the following:
[1 ] Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
[
2] Drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes, reaching 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h)
at least once during this drive.
[3 ] Park the vehicle and leave the power system off for 6 hours or more.
[4 ] Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
[5 ] Turn the power system on.
[6 ] Keep the vehicle in P . Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it
there for about 3 minutes.
[7 ] Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
[8 ] Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway in
D . Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without
moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.) If
you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions,
drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat it two more times (for a total of 90
seconds).
[9 ] Drive in city or suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
[
10
] Park the vehicle and leave the power system off for 30 minutes.
[
11
] If this procedure is done immediately after losing 12-volt battery power, several
additional hours of driving may be required to set all codes.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be
r
equested to return at a later date to complete the test.
If the testing facility determines the readiness codes are still not set, see a dealer.

372
Statement on Warranty Coverage for Aftermarket and Recycled Parts
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. s.2301 et seq., makes it illegal for
mot
or vehicle manufacturers to void a motor vehicle warranty or deny warranty
coverage solely because an aftermarket or recycled part has been used to repair
the vehicle or someone other than the authorized service provider performed
service on the vehicle.
This provision does not apply to a new motor vehicle purchased solely for
commercial or industrial use.
Under federal law, a manufacturer may deny warranty coverage and charge for
repairs to a vehicle if it is discovered that an aftermarket or recycled part installed
on the vehicle is defective or was installed incorrectly and caused damage to
another part of the vehicle otherwise covered under warranty.
The Federal Trade Commission requires that a manufacturer demonstrate that an
aftermarket or recycled part or service performed by a person other than an
authorized service provider caused damage to another part of the vehicle otherwise
covered under warranty before denying warranty coverage.
Additionally, federal law allows a manufacturer to void a motor vehicle warranty or
deny warranty coverage if the manufacturer provides the article or service to
consumers free of charge under the warranty or the manufacturer has secured a
waiver from the Federal Trade Commission.
