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.

Accessories and Modifications

Accessories

When installing accessories, check the following:

•

Do not install accessories on the windshield. They can obstruct your view and
delay your reaction to driving conditions.

•

Do not install any accessories over areas marked SRS Airbag, on the sides or backs
of the front seats, on front or side pillars, or near the side windows.
Accessories installed in these areas may interfere with proper operation of the
vehicle’s airbags or may be propelled into you or another occupant if the airbags
deploy.

•

Be sure electronic accessories do not overload electrical circuits or interfere with
proper operation of your vehicle.

Fuses

P. 659

•

Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact a dealer for
assistance. If possible, have a dealer inspect the final installation.

Accessories and Modifications

Honda Genuine accessories are recommended to
ensure proper operation on your vehicle.

WARNING

Improper accessories or modifications can
affect your vehicle's handling, stability, and
performance, and cause a crash in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow all instructions in this owner's
manual regarding accessories and
modifications.

WARNING

Use of improperly designed, engineered or
manufactured high-voltage battery
assemblies could cause a fire in your
vehicle.

A vehicle fire could result in a crash or
injury.

Only use a genuine Honda high-voltage
battery assembly, or its equivalent, in your
vehicle.

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 federal, state, province, territory, and local regulations.

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 your vehicle’s high-voltage hybrid power system
or otherwise modify vehicle electrical systems. Disassembling or modifying electrical
equipment can result in a crash or a fire.

If you ever need to replace your vehicle’s high-voltage battery assembly outside of
warranty coverage, we highly recommend that you only use a genuine Honda high-
voltage battery assembly. Genuine Honda high-voltage battery assemblies are
designed to work with your vehicle’s hybrid power system and have been designed,
engineered and manufactured to avoid overcharging situations. Non-genuine high-
voltage battery assemblies may not have been similarly designed, engineered and
manufactured, and installation of such assemblies could result in overcharging, fires,
loss of power, or other conditions that may increase the likelihood of a crash or
injury.

If a Tire Goes Flat

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire

If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the
vehicle towed. If the tire only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you can
use the temporary tire repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station
for a more permanent repair.

If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place.

Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface and apply the parking brake.

Put the transmission into

(

Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF
(LOCK).

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire

The kit should not be used in the following situations.
Instead, contact a dealer or roadside assistance to
have the vehicle towed.

•

The tire sealant has expired.

•

More than one tire is punctured.

•

The puncture or cut is larger than 3/16 inch (4.8
mm).

•

The tire side wall is damaged or the puncture is
outside the contact area.

•

Damage has been caused by driving with the tire
extremely under inflated.

•

The tire bead is no longer seated.

•

The rim is damaged.

Do not remove a nail or screw that punctured the
tire. If you remove it from the tire, you may not be
able to repair the puncture using the kit.

Injecting Sealant and Air

In cold temperatures, the sealant may not flow easily.
In this situation, warm it up for five minutes before
using.

The sealant can permanently stain clothing and other
materials. Be careful during handling and wipe away
any spills immediately.

CAUTION

Tire sealant contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled, ingested or if contact is
made with the eyes or skin.

Always use in a well-ventilated area and
use gloves and safety glasses for protection;
do not ingest.

For skin or eye contact, flush with cool
water; if ingested, rinse mouth with water.
In all cases, seek medical attention if
necessary.

Injecting Sealant and Air

NOTICE

Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit
compressor for more than 15 minutes. The
compressor can overheat and become permanently
damaged.

Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the
pressure will drop and then begin to rise again as the
tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately
measure the air pressure using the gauge, turn the air
compressor off only after the sealant injection is
complete.

WARNING

Running the engine with the vehicle in an
enclosed or even partly enclosed area can
cause a rapid buildup of toxic carbon
monoxide.

Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
Only run the engine to power the air
compressor with the vehicle outdoors.
