Break-in Period
Help assure your car's future
reliability and performance by paying
extra attention to how you drive
during the first
600 miles (1,000 km).
During this period:
• Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
Do
not exceed 5,500 rpm for the
first
600 miles (1,000 km) of
operation.
• Avoid hard braking. New brakes
need to be broken-in by moderate
use for the first
200 miles (300
km).
You should follow these same re-
commendations with an overhauled
or exchanged engine, or when the
brakes are relined.

Driving
Gasoline
Your Honda is designed to operate
on premium unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane number of
91
or higher.
If
you are unable to find premium
unleaded gasoline, you may substi-
tute an unleaded regular gasoline.
The
engine
will
compensate for the
lower octane, but you may notice a
slight decrease in power as a result.
We recommend gasolines containing
detergent additives
that
help prevent
fuel system and engine deposits.
Using gasoline containing lead
will
damage your car's emissions
controls. This contributes to air
pollution.
In
Canada, some gasolines contain
an octane-enhancing additive called
MMT.
If
you use such gasolines,
your emission control system
performance may deteriorate and
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
your instrument panel may turn on.
If
this happens, contact your
authorized Honda dealer for service.
