lights, or other parts of the vehicle.  
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.  
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of  
vision while driving. If frozen solid, remove ice once it has softened.  
u When removing ice from around the wheels, be sure not to damage the wheel  
or wheel components.  
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.  
You will be unable to insert the key if the water  
freezes in the hole.  
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.  
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.  
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.  
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite  
flammable materials left under the hood, causing a  
fire. If you've parked your vehicle for an extended  
period, inspect and remove any debris that may have  
collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have  
fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a  
small animal. Also, check under the hood for leftover  
flammable materials after you or someone else has  
performed maintenance on your vehicle.  
u Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.  
2 Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 734  
• Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.  
u There are blind spots from the inside.  
Models without Auto Idle Stop  
• Check the front bumper ducts for mud, leaves, and road debris that could build  
up and prevent proper cooling performance.

Interior Checks  
■
• Store or secure all items on board properly.  
The headlight aim is set by the factory, and does not  
need to be adjusted. However, if you regularly carry  
heavy items in the cargo area, have the aiming  
readjusted at a dealer or by a qualified technician.  
u Carrying too much cargo, or improperly storing it, can affect your vehicle's  
handling, stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.  
2 Maximum Load Limit P. 487  
• Do not pile items higher than the seat height.  
u They can block your view and may be thrown forward in the event of sudden  
braking.  
• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure the floor  
mat.  
u An object or unsecured floor mat can interfere with your brake and accelerator  
pedal operation while driving.  
• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move around in the vehicle.  
u They may interfere with driving and a crash could occur.  
• Securely close and lock all doors and the hatch.

WARNING  
Overloading or improper loading  
can affect handling and stability  
and cause a crash in which you  
can be hurt or killed.  
The maximum load for your vehicle is 680 lbs (308 kg).  
See the Tire and Loading Information label attached to the driver's  
doorjamb.  
Follow all load limits and other  
loading guidelines in this manual.  
Label Example  
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR):  
The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all  
occupants, all accessories and all cargo.  
2 Specifications P. 812  
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR):  
The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle axle.

uuBefore DrivinguMaximum Load Limit  
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit -  
(1)Locate 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 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 trailer 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.

Precautions While Driving  
1Precautions While Driving  
In Rain  
■
Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the engine or  
driveline, or cause electrical component failure.  
Continuously variable transmission models  
NOTICE  
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the  
accelerator pedal. You could damage the  
transmission.  
Other Precautions  
■
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.  
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.  
NOTICE  
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. The system  
goes into a protective mode, and limits its  
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder  
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,  
the EPS system is restored.  
Repeated operation under these conditions can  
eventually damage the system.  
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while  
driving, the engine will shut down and all steering  
and brake power assist functions will stop, making it  
difficult to control the vehicle.  
Do not select (N while driving as you will lose engine  
braking (and acceleration) performance.  
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation,  
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so  
as not to damage the engine or powertrain.

17-Speed Manual Shift Mode  
7-Speed Manual Shift Mode  
■
In the 7-speed manual shift mode, the transmission  
shifts up or down by operating either paddle shifter  
under the following conditions:  
Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 7th speeds without releasing  
your hands from the steering wheel. The transmission switches to the 7-speed  
manual shift mode when you pull a paddle shifter while driving. This mode is useful  
when engine braking is needed.  
Shift Up: The engine speed reaches the lowest  
threshold of the higher speed position.  
Shift Down: The engine speed reaches the highest  
threshold of the lower speed position.  
■
When the transmission is in (D:  
The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode temporarily, and the  
number is displayed in the shift indicator.  
When the engine speed reaches near the tachometer  
red zone, the transmission shifts up automatically.  
When the engine speed reaches the lowest threshold  
of the selected speed position, the transmission shifts  
down automatically.  
The 7-speed manual shift mode is canceled automatically if you drive at constant  
speed or accelerate, and the number in the shift indicator goes off.  
You can cancel this mode by pulling the (+ paddle shifter for a few seconds.  
The 7-speed manual shift mode is especially useful when reducing the vehicle speed  
temporarily before making a turn.  
Operating the paddle shifters on slippery surfaces  
may cause the tires to lock up. In this case, the 7-  
speed manual shift mode is canceled and goes back  
to the normal (D driving mode.  
■
When the transmission is in (D with SPORT mode:  
The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode. The M indicator and the  
speed number are displayed in the shift indicator. As the vehicle speed slows down,  
the transmission automatically shifts down accordingly. When the vehicle comes to  
a stop, it automatically shifts down into 1st.  
If the vehicle speed increases and the engine speed reaches near the tachometer red  
zone, the transmission automatically shifts up.

Shift Lever Operation  
■
Fully depress the clutch pedal to operate the shift lever and change gears, then  
slowly release the pedal.  
NOTICE  
Do not shift to (R before the vehicle comes to a  
complete stop.  
Shifting to (R before stopping can damage the  
transmission.  
Depress the clutch pedal, and pause for a few seconds before shifting into (R, or  
shift into one of the forward gears for a moment. This stops the gears so they do not  
“grind.”  
NOTICE  
Before downshifting, make sure the engine will not  
go into the tachometer red zone. Should this occur, it  
can severely damage your engine.  
When you are not shifting, do not rest your  
foot on the clutch pedal. This can cause your  
clutch to wear out faster.  
Models without Auto Idle Stop  
There is a metallic part on the shift lever. If you leave  
the vehicle parked outside for a long time on a hot  
day, be careful before moving the shift lever. Because  
of heat, the shift lever may be extremely hot. If the  
outside temperature is low, the shift lever may feel  
cold.  
If you exceed the maximum speed for the gear you  
are in, the engine speed will enter into the  
tachometer red zone. When this happens, you may  
experience a slight jolt.

Limitations  
The rev match system will not activate under the following conditions:  
• You are shifting into a lower gear, but the system has determined that the engine  
will over rev.  
If the message below appears, there may be a  
problem with the system. The rev match system may  
not operate, but you can perform regular gear  
shifting.  
• You are shifting into 1st gear from a higher gear.  
• Engine RPM is low and you are shifting into a lower gear in sequential order.  
• The system has determined that the engine will be at idling speed after you have  
shifted into a higher gear.  
Have the system checked by a dealer.  
• The clutch pedal is not fully depressed.

uuWhen DrivinguTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)*  
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)*  
1Tire 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.  
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.  
This will cause the low tire pressure/TPMS  
indicator to come on and a message to appear  
on the gauge.  
Models with A-type meter  
Low Tire Pressure/

1TPMS Calibration  
TPMS Calibration  
■
TPMS cannot be calibrated if a compact spare tire* is  
installed.  
The calibration process requires approximately 30  
minutes of cumulative driving at speeds between  
31-62 mph (50-100 km/h).  
During this period, if power mode is set to ON and  
the vehicle is not moved within 45 seconds, you may  
notice the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on  
briefly. This is normal and indicates that the  
calibration process is not yet complete.  
You must start TPMS calibration every time you:  
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.  
• Rotate the tires.  
• Replace one or more tires.  
Before calibrating the TPMS:  
• Set the cold tire pressure in all four tires.  
2 Checking Tires P. 734  
If the tire chains* are installed, remove them before  
calibrating the TPMS.  
Make sure:  
• The vehicle is at a complete stop.  
• The power mode is in ON.  
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even  
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are  
installed, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

uuWhen DrivinguTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation*  
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required  
Federal Explanation*  
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked  
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure  
recommended by the vehicle 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.)  
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with  
a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low  
tire pressure telltale  
when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.  
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you  
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate  
them to the proper pressure.  
Driving on a significantly under-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.  
* Not available on all models  
Continued  
543  
uuWhen DrivinguTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation*  
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  
indicator 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 to 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.  
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or  
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the  
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to  
continue to function properly.

1Blind Spot Information System*  
When the system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the  
appropriate indicator comes on, providing assistance when you change lanes.  
Important Safety Reminder  
Like all assistance systems, the blind spot information  
system has limitations. Always look in your mirrors, to  
either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other  
vehicles before changing lanes. Overreliance on the  
blind spot information system may result in a

B: Approx. 10 feet (3 meters) from rear bumper.  
C: Approx. 10 ~ 82 feet (3 ~ 25 meters) behind from rear bumper. (The faster the  
approaching vehicle, the further away it will be detected.)  
The initially set alert zone is alert zone 1. Over time, after the vehicle has been driven  
on straight roads with traffic and roadside objects, the system will adapt and expand  
the alert zone (alert zone 1 and 2).

The system can assist you when it determines there is a possibility of your vehicle  
colliding with a vehicle (including motorcycles) ahead from behind, an oncoming  
vehicle in front, a pedestrian, or someone riding a bicycle (moving bicycle).  
The CMBSTM 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 CMBSTM 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.  
The CMBSTM may not activate or may not detect a

your vehicle under certain conditions.  
Refer to the ones indicating the pedestrian detection  
limitations from the list.  
2 CMBSTM Conditions and Limitations P. 558  
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, pedestrian, or moving bicycle  
in front of you.  
The CMBSTM activates when:  
●
The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle, pedestrian, or moving  
bicycle detected in front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a  
chance of a collision.  
Your vehicle drives at about 18 mph (30 km/h) or less and there is a chance of in  
●
frontal collision with a detected oncoming vehicle when you turn left at an  
intersection.  
Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines  
●
there is a chance of a collision with:  
- An oncoming or stationary vehicle detected in front of you.  
- A pedestrian or moving bicycle detected in front of you.  
The CMBSTM will be canceled when your vehicle stops or the system determines  
there no longer is the potential for a collision.

Low Speed Braking Control*  
1Low Speed Braking Control*  
Continuously variable transmission models with parking sensor system  
Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, and the front grille, this  
system detects if there is danger of a potential collision with a wall 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.  
3
WARNING  
The Low Speed Braking Control System  
cannot avoid all collisions and may not  
reduce 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.  
Driver remains responsible for safely  
operating the vehicle.  
If the 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.

When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an  
obstacle such as a wall detected near the front of or back of the vehicle, if the  
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 backwards movement by limiting the output of the engine, then assistive braking  
will activate when you get closer to the obstacle.

the set speed, ACC with Low Speed Follow  
accelerates your vehicle to the set speed, and  
then maintains it.  
A vehicle icon with line contour  
appears on the gauge.  
On steep downhill during ACC with Low  
Speed Follow, it brakes to inhibit excessive  
acceleration for maintaining the set speed.  
However, the vehicle speed may become  
faster than the set speed.

When the vehicle ahead of you moves away, such  
as when entering an interchange or rest area, ACC

When you depress the accelerator pedal  
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

Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit your vehicle  
has just passed through, showing it on the gauge.  
1Traffic Sign Recognition System  
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.  
How the System Works  
■
When the camera located behind the rearview mirror captures traffic signs while  
driving, the system displays the ones that are recognized as designated for your  
vehicle. The sign icon will be displayed until the vehicle reaches a predetermined  
time and distance.  
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the  
windshield that could obstruct the camera's field of  
vision and cause the system to operate abnormally.  
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.  
If the system does not detect any traffic signs while you are driving, the sign icon will  
not be displayed.  
Models with B-type meter  
The traffic sign recognition system is not activated for  
about 15 seconds after the engine starts.  
You can read about handling information for the

as the speed and direction of travel of the vehicle. In  
some cases, the system may display false warnings or  
other inaccurate information.

■
Check the brakes after driving through deep water,  
or if there is a buildup of road surface water. If  
necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the  
pedal several times.  
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. A vacuum power assist  
helps to reduce the effort needed on the brake pedal. The brake assist system  
increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an  
emergency situation. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering  
control when braking very hard.  
If you hear a continuous metallic friction sound when  
applying the brakes, this is caused by the brake wear  
indicator rubbing on the brake rotor and indicates  
that the brake pads need to be replaced. Have the  
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.

■
Brake squeal  
To satisfy the performance under a wide range of driving conditions, a  
highperformance 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. This is not a malfunction.  
Constantly using the brake pedal while going down a  
long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake  
effectiveness. Apply engine braking by taking your  
foot off the accelerator pedal and downshifting to a  
lower gear/speed position. With manual transmission  
use a lower gear for greater engine braking.  
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while  
driving, as it will lightly apply the brakes and cause  
them to lose effectiveness over time and reduce pad  
life. It will also confuse drivers behind you.

ABS  
■
Helps prevent the wheels from locking up, and helps you retain steering control by  
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you can.  
NOTICE  
The ABS may not function correctly if you use a tire of  
the incorrect size or type.  
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also  
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.  
If the ABS indicator comes on while driving, there  
may be a problem with the system.  
While normal braking will not be affected, there is a  
possibility that the ABS will not be operating. Have  
your vehicle checked by a dealer immediately.  
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 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.  
■
ABS operation  
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when the ABS is working. Depress the brake  
pedal and keep holding the pedal firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need to  
press on the brake pedal very hard before the ABS activates. However, you may feel  
the ABS activate immediately if you are trying to stop on snow or ice.  
In the following cases, your vehicle may need more  
distance to stop than a vehicle without the ABS:  
•
You are driving on rough or uneven road surfaces,  
such as gravel or snow.  
The tires are equipped with tire chains*.  
ABS may activate when you depress the brake pedal when driving on:  
• Wet or snow covered roads.  
• Roads paved with stone.  
•
The following may be observed with the ABS system:  
•
Motor sounds coming from the engine  
compartment when the brakes are applied, or  
when system checks are being performed after the  
engine has been started and while the vehicle  
accelerates.  
• Roads with uneven surfaces, such as potholes, cracks, manholes, etc.  
When the vehicle speed goes under 6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.  
•
Brake pedal and/or the vehicle body vibration when  
ABS activates.  
These vibrations and sounds are normal to ABS  
systems and are no cause for concern.

affect performance, and cause the malfunction  
indicator lamp on your instrument panel to come on.  
If this happens, contact a dealer for service.  
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.

Because the level of detergency and additives in gasoline vary in the market, Honda  
endorses the use of “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.

Handling Precautions  
1Turbo Engine Vehicle*  
The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by  
delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine driven by  
the engine's exhaust gas pressure.  
The scheduled maintenance intervals for replacing  
the filter is indicated on the driver information  
interface. Follow the information on replacement  
timing.  
• When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid hard or sudden acceleration.  
2 Maintenance MinderTM P. 693  
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Maintenance  
MinderTM. The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its  
temperature reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricated and cooled by engine  
oil. If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or  
interval, deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal  
noise of the turbine bearing.  
The Engine temperature too hot. Do not drive.  
Allow engine to cool. or Engine temperature  
near limit. Avoid heavy acceleration and high  
speed. message may appear on the driver  
information interface when you restart the engine  
after driving under high load conditions such as at  
high speed or in hilly terrain.  
This is normal. The message goes off after you idle or  
drive the vehicle for about one minute.  
Models with B-type meter  
The temperature gauge pointer is at the  
H
mark  
when you restart the engine after driving under high  
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly  
terrain. This is normal. The gauge goes down after  
you idle or drive the vehicle for about one minute.
