Oil Check  
We recommend that you check the engine oil level every time you refuel.  
Park the vehicle on level ground.  
Wait approximately three minutes after turning the engine off before you check the oil.  
1. Remove the dipstick (orange).  
1Oil Check  
If the oil level is near or below the lower mark, slowly  
add oil, being careful not to overfill.  
The amount of oil consumed depends on how the  
vehicle is driven and the climatic and road conditions  
encountered. The rate of oil consumption can be up  
to 1 litre per 1,000 km/625 miles.  
Consumption is likely to be higher when the engine is  
new.  
2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or  
paper towel.  
3. Insert the dipstick back all the way into its  
hole.  
4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the  
level. It should be between the upper and  
lower marks. Add oil if necessary.

WARNING  
This coolant is premixed with 50% antifreeze and 50% water. Do not add any  
straight antifreeze or water.  
Removing the radiator cap while the  
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray  
out, seriously scalding you.  
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.  
Always let the engine and radiator cool  
down before removing the radiator cap.  
Reserve Tank  
■
If temperatures consistently below -30°C are  
expected, the coolant mixture should be changed to  
a higher concentration. Consult your Honda dealer  
for details about a suitable coolant mixture.  
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.  
2. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve  
tank.  
u If the coolant level is below the MIN  
mark, add the specified coolant until it  
reaches the MAX mark.  
MAX  
MIN  
If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not available, you may  
use another major brand non-silicate coolant as a  
temporary replacement. Check that it is a high quality  
coolant recommended for aluminium 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.

3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.  
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.

Checking and Maintaining Tyres  
Checking Tyres  
To safely operate your vehicle, your tyres must be of the proper type and size, in  
good condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.  
1Checking Tyres  
3
WARNING  
■ Inflation guidelines  
Properly inflated tyres provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and  
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label for the specified pressure.  
Using tyres that are excessively worn or  
improperly inflated can cause a crash in  
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.  
Follow all instructions in this owner’s  
manual regarding tyre inflation and  
maintenance.  
Underinflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and  
are more likely to fail from overheating.  
Overinflated tyres make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards,  
and wear unevenly.  
Measure the air pressure when tyres are cold. This  
means the vehicle has been parked for at least three  
hours, or driven less than 1.6 km (1 mile). If  
necessary, add or release air until the specified  
pressure is reached.  
Every day before you drive, look at each of the tyres. If one looks lower than the  
others, check the pressure with a tyre gauge.  
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in  
all tyres, including the spare*. Even tyres in good condition can lose 10-20 kPa  
(0.1-0.2 kgf/cm2, 1-2 psi) per month.  
If checked when hot, tyre pressure can be as much as  
30–40 kPa (0.3–0.4 kgf/cm2, 4–6 psi) higher than if  
checked when cold.  
Have a dealer check the tyres if you feel a consistent  
vibration while driving. New tyres and any that have  
been removed and reinstalled should be properly  
balanced.  
Whenever tyre pressure is adjusted, you must  
calibrate the Deflation Warning System.

■ Inspection guidelines  
Every time you check inflation, also examine the tyres and valve stems.  
Look for:  
1Checking Tyres  
High speed driving  
Models with 185/55 R16 tyres  
• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any cuts,  
splits, or cracks in the side of the tyre. 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.  
We recommend that you do not drive faster than the  
posted speed limits and conditions allow. If you drive  
at sustained high speeds (over 160 km/h/100 mph),  
adjust the cold tyre pressures as shown below to  
avoid excessive heat build up and sudden tyre failure.

The groove where the wear indicator is  
Example of a Wear  
Indicator mark  
located is 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) shallower than  
elsewhere on the tyre. If the tread has worn so  
that the indicator is exposed, replace the tyre.  
Worn out tyres have poor traction on wet  
roads.  
Tyre Service Life  
The life of your tyres is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road  
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and  
environmental conditions (even when the tyres are not in use).  
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is  
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tyres reach five  
years old. All tyres, including the spare*, should be removed from service after 10  
years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.

Tyre and Wheel Replacement  
1Tyre and Wheel Replacement  
Replace your tyres with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and  
maximum cold tyre pressure rating (as shown on the tyre’s sidewall). Using tyres of  
a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems such as the ABS  
and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA)* system to work incorrectly.  
3
WARNING  
Installing improper tyres on your vehicle  
can affect handling and stability. This can  
cause a crash in which you can be seriously  
hurt or killed.  
It is best to replace all four tyres at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the  
front or rear tyres in pairs.  
Always use the size and type of tyres  
recommended in the tyre information label  
on your vehicle.  
Make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheels.

WARNING  
Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent skidding.  
Using the wrong chains, or not properly  
installing chains, can damage the brake  
lines and cause a crash in which you can be  
seriously injured or killed.  
Use tyre chains, winter tyres, or all season tyres when necessary or according to the  
law.  
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual  
regarding the selection and use of tyre chains.  
When mounting, refer to the following points.  
NOTICE  
For winter tyres:  
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly  
installed can damage your vehicle's brake lines,  
suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are  
hitting any part of the vehicle.  
• Select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tyres.  
• Mount the tyres to all four wheels.  
According to the EEC Directive for tyres, when winter  
tyres are used, it is necessary to affix a sticker with the  
allowable max. speed of the winter tyres clearly in the  
field of view of the driver, if the designed max. speed  
of vehicle is higher than the allowed max. speed of  
winter tyre. A sticker is obtainable from your tyre  
dealer. If you have any question, consult a dealer.  
When tyre chains are mounted, follow the chain  
manufacturer's instructions regarding vehicle  
operational limits.  
Use tyre chains only in an emergency or when they  
are legally required for driving through a certain area.  
Use greater caution when driving with tyre chains on  
snow or ice. They may have less-predictable handling  
than good winter tyres without chains.  
If your vehicle is equipped with summer tyres, be aware  
that these tyres are not designed for winter driving  
conditions. For more information, contact a dealer.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust before using a cloth.  
Use a damp cloth with a mixture of mild detergent and warm water to remove dirt.  
Use a clean cloth to remove detergent residue.  
1Interior Care  
Do not spill liquids inside the vehicle.  
Electrical devices and systems may malfunction if  
liquids are splashed on them.  
Cleaning Seat Belts  
■
Do not use silicone based sprays on electrical devices  
such as audio devices and switches.  
Doing so may cause the items to malfunction or  
cause a fire inside the vehicle.  
Use a soft brush with a mixture of mild soap and warm water to clean the seat belts.  
Let the belts air dry. Wipe the loops of the seat belt anchors using a clean cloth.  
If a silicone based spray is inadvertently used on  
electrical devices, consult a dealer.  
Loop  
Depending on their composition, chemicals and  
liquid aromatics may cause discolouration, wrinkles,  
and cracking to resin-based parts and textiles.  
Do not use alkali solvents or organic solvents such as  
benzene or petrol.  
After using chemicals, make sure to gently wipe them  
away using a dry cloth.  
Do not place used cloths on top of resin based parts  
or textiles for long periods of time without washing.  
Be careful not to spill a liquid type air freshener.

Floor Mats*  
■
If you use any floor mats that were not originally  
provided with your vehicle, make sure they are  
designed for your specific vehicle, fit correctly, and  
are securely anchored by the floor anchors.  
Position the rear seat floor mats properly. If they are  
not properly positioned, the floor mats can interfere  
with the front seat functions.  
The driver’s floor mat hooks over the floor anchors, which keep the mat from sliding  
forward. To remove a mat for cleaning, turn the anchor knobs to the unlock  
position. When reinstalling the mat after cleaning, turn the knobs to the lock  
position.  
Do not put additional floor mats on top of the anchored mat.

1Maintaining Genuine Leather  
Maintaining Genuine Leather*  
■
It is important to clean or wipe away dirt or dust as  
soon as possible. Spills can soak into leather resulting  
in stains. Dirt or dust can cause abrasions in the  
leather. In addition, please note that some dark  
coloured clothing can rub onto the leather seats  
resulting in discoloration or stains.  
To properly clean leather:  
1. Use a vacuum or soft dry cloth first to remove any dirt or dust.  
2. Clean the leather with a soft cloth dampened with a solution comprised of 90%  
water and 10% neutral soap.  
3. Wipe away any soap residue with a clean damp cloth.  
4. Wipe away residual water and allow leather to air dry in the shade.

Exterior Care  
Dust off the vehicle body after you drive.  
Regularly inspect your vehicle for scratches on painted surfaces. A scratch on a  
painted surface can result in body rust. If you find a scratch, promptly repair it.  
1Washing the Vehicle  
Washing the Vehicle  
■
Do not spray water into the air intake vents. It can  
cause a malfunction.  
Wash the vehicle regularly. Wash more frequently when driving in the following  
conditions:  
• If driving on roads with road salt.  
• If driving in coastal areas.  
• If tar, soot, bird droppings, insects, or tree sap are stuck to painted surfaces.  
Using an Automated Car Wash  
■
• Make sure to follow the instructions indicated on the automated car wash.  
• Remove or store the audio antenna*.  
2 Audio Antenna P. 224  
Air Intake Vents  
• Fold in the door mirrors.  
• Turn off the automatic intermittent wipers.  
Using High Pressure Cleaners  
■
• Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzle and the vehicle body.  
• Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to  
enter the vehicle interior.  
• Do not spray high pressure water directly into the engine compartment. Instead,  
use low pressure water and a mild detergent.

1Applying Wax  
Applying Wax  
■
NOTICE  
A good coat of automotive body wax helps to protect your vehicle’s paint from the  
elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the  
elements, so reapply as necessary.  
Chemical solvents and strong cleaners can damage  
the paint, metal, and plastic on your vehicle. Wipe  
away spills immediately.  
1Maintaining the Bumpers and Other Resin Coated Parts  
Maintaining the Bumpers and Other Resin Coated Parts  
■
Ask a dealer about the correct coating material when  
you want to repair the painted surface of the parts  
made of resin.  
If you get petrol, oil, engine coolant, or battery fluid on resin coated parts, they may  
be stained or the coating may peel. Promptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and  
clean water.  
Cleaning the Window  
■
Wipe using a glass cleaner.  
Maintaining Aluminium Wheels*  
■
Aluminium is susceptible to deterioration caused by salt and other road  
contaminants. When necessary, as early as possible use a sponge and mild detergent  
to wipe away these contaminants. Do not use a stiff brush or harsh chemicals  
(including some commercial wheel cleaners). These can damage the protective finish  
on aluminium alloy wheels, resulting in corrosion. Depending on the type of finish,  
the wheels also may lose their luster or appear burnished. To avoid water stains,  
wipe the wheels dry with a cloth while they are still wet.

Fogged Exterior Light Lenses  
■
The inside lenses of exterior lights (headlights, brake lights, etc.) may fog temporarily  
if you have driven in the rain, or after the vehicle has been run through a car wash.  
Dew condensation also may build up inside the lenses when there is a significant  
enough difference between the ambient and inside lens temperatures (similar to  
vehicle windows fogging up in rainy conditions). These conditions are natural  
processes, not structural design problems in the exterior lights.  
Lens design characteristics may result in moisture developing on the light lens frame  
surfaces. This also is not a malfunction.  
However, if you see large amounts of water accumulation, or large water drops  
building up inside the lenses, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.

manual regarding accessories and  
modifications.  
2 Fuses P. 573  
• Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact a dealer for  
assistance. If possible, have a dealer inspect the final installation.  
When properly installed, mobile phones, alarms, two-  
way radios, radio antenna, and low-powered audio  
systems should not interfere with your vehicle’s  
computer controlled systems, such as your airbags  
and anti-lock brakes.  
Modifications  
Do not modify your vehicle in a manner that may affect its handling, stability, or  
reliability, or install non-genuine Honda parts or accessories that may have a similar  
effect.  
Even minor modifications to vehicle systems can affect overall vehicle performance.  
Always make sure all equipment is properly installed and maintained, and do not  
make any modification to your vehicle or its systems that might cause your vehicle  
to no longer meet your country’s and local regulations.  
Honda Genuine accessories are recommended to  
ensure proper operation on your vehicle.  
The on-board diagnostic port (OBD-II/SAE J1962 connector) installed on this vehicle  
is intended to be used with automobile system diagnostic devices or with other  
devices that Honda has approved. Use of any other type of device may adversely  
affect the vehicle's electronic systems or allow them to be compromised, possibly  
resulting in a system malfunction, drained battery, or other unexpected problems.  
Do not modify or attempt to repair any of the electrical components.
