Cross Traffic Monitor

Driving

Cross Traffic Monitor

Monitors the rear corner areas using the radar sensors when reversing, and alerts
you if a vehicle approaching from a rear corner is detected.

The system is convenient when you are backing out of a parking space.

Cross Traffic Monitor

CAUTION

Cross Traffic Monitor cannot detect all
approaching vehicles and may not detect
an approaching vehicle at all.

Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
back up the vehicle before doing so may
result in a collision.

Do not solely rely on the system when
reversing; always also use your mirrors, and
look behind and to the sides of your vehicle
before reversing.

(

•

Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or
lower.

When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor
alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning.

The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly
behind your vehicle.

The system does not provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from your
vehicle, and it may alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary objects.

■

How the System Works

Cross Traffic Monitor

Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay
alerting an approaching vehicle, or may alert without
an approaching vehicle under the following
conditions:

•

An obstacle, such as another vehicle and a wall,
near your vehicle's rear bumper, is blocking the
radar sensor's scope.

•

Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph
(5 km/h) or higher.

•

A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than
between about 6 and 16 mph (10 and 25 km/h).

•

The system picks up external interference such as
other radar sensors from another vehicle or strong
radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.

•

Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with
snow, ice, mud or dirt.

•

When there is bad weather.

•

Your vehicle is on an incline.

•

Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.

•

Your vehicle is reversing towards a wall, a pole, a
vehicle, and so on.

The rear bumper or the sensors have been improperly
repaired or the rear bumper has been deformed.
Have a vehicle checked by a dealer.

For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper
corner area clean.
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels
or stickers of any kind.

About Your Multi-View Rear Camera

The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see
the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath
the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects
appear closer or farther than they actually are.

Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing
up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and
high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do
not rely on the rearview display which does not give
you all information about conditions at the back of
your vehicle.

If the camera lens is covered with dirt or moisture,
use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens clean and free
of debris.

Refueling

Fuel Information

■

Fuel recommendation

Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic knocking noise
that can lead to engine damage.

■

Top tier detergent 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.

For further important fuel-related information for your vehicle, or on information on
gasoline that does not contain MMT, visit www.hondacars.com. In Canada, visit
www.honda.ca for additional information on gasoline. For more information on top
tier gasoline, visit

www.toptiergas.com

■

Fuel tank capacity: 19.5 US gal (73.8 L)

Unleaded gasoline, pump octane number 87 or higher

Fuel Information

NOTICE

We recommend quality gasoline containing
detergent additives that help prevent 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. 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.

Refueling

How to Refuel

Driving

How to Refuel

Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel filler cap. You can insert the filler nozzle
directly into the filler neck. The tank seals itself again when you pull out the filler
nozzle.

Stop your vehicle with the service station
pump on the left side of the vehicle in the
rear.

Turn off the engine.

Press the fuel fill door release button.

The fuel fill door opens.

How to Refuel

The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only
service station filler nozzles for refueling. Use of
smaller diameter tubes (e.g., those used to siphon
fuel for other uses) or other non-service station
devices can damage the area in and around the filler
opening.

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.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.

•

Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks,
and flames away.

•

Handle fuel only outdoors.

•

Wipe up spills immediately.

Press

555

Refueling

How to Refuel

Driving

Place the end of the filler nozzle on the
lower part of filler opening, then insert it
slowly and fully.

Make sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler
pipe.

Keep the filler nozzle level.

When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will
click off automatically.

If you do not fill up the tank to full,
always add a minimum of 3.5 US gal
(13.3 L) of fuel.

After filling, wait about five seconds
before removing the filler nozzle.

Shut the fuel fill door by hand.

How to Refuel

If the filler nozzle keeps turning off when the tank is
not full, there may be a problem with the pump’s fuel
vapor recovery system. Try filling at another pump. If
this does not fix the problem, consult a dealer.

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.

If you have to refuel your vehicle from a portable
container, use the funnel provided with your vehicle.

Fuel Economy and CO

Emissions

Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO

Emissions

Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO

emissions is dependent on several

factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving habits, and
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.

You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the messages displayed on the
driver information interface.

•

Use engine oil with the viscosity recommended.

Recommended Engine Oil

P. 570

•

Maintain the specified tire pressure.

•

Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.

•

Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle’s underside
adds weight and increases wind resistance.
