Brake Assist System

Designed to assist the driver by generating greater braking force when you depress 
the brake pedal hard during emergency braking.

■

Brake assist system operation

Press the brake pedal firmly for more powerful braking.

When brake assist operates, the pedal may wiggle slightly and an operating noise 
may be heard. This is normal. Keep holding the brake pedal firmly down.

Parking Your Vehicle

Do not park your vehicle near flammable objects, 
such as dry grass, oil, or timber.
Heat from the exhaust can cause a fire.

WARNING

The vehicle can roll away if left unattended 

without confirming that Park is engaged.

A vehicle that rolls away could cause a crash 

resulting in serious injury or death.

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal 

until you have confirmed that 

(

When Stopped

NOTICE

The following can damage the driveline:

•

Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals 
simultaneously.

•

Changing into 

(

P

 before the vehicle stops 

completely.

When facing uphill, do not hold the vehicle by 
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so may cause the power system to overheat 
and fail.

Parking Your Vehicle

u

When Stopped

Driving

Always set the parking brake, in particular if you are parked on an incline.

1

When Stopped

In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake 
may freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are 
expected, do not apply the parking brake but, if 
parking on a slope, either turn the front wheels so 
they will contact the curb if the vehicle rolls down the 
slope or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from 
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the 
vehicle may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.

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

*

The parking sensor system’s alerting buzzer overrides 
the Cross Traffic Monitor buzzer when the sensors 
are detecting obstacles at the closest range.

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

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

1

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 mph (10 km/h) and 16 mph (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 your 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.

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.

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.

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.

1.

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

2.

Turn off the power system.

3.

Unlock the driver’s door.

u

The fuel fill door on the outer side of the 
vehicle will unlock.

4.

Press and release the area indicated by the 
arrow to release the fuel fill door. You will 
here a click and the lid will open slightly.

5.

Manually pull the fuel fill door to a fully 
open position.

1

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.

Use the master door lock switch to unlock the fuel fill 
door.
The vehicle doors and fuel fill door automatically 
relock if the remote unlock function is used. This can 
be deactivated by briefly opening then closing the 
driver’s door.

WARNING

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

•

Turn the power system off, and keep 
heat, sparks, and flames away.

•

Handle fuel only outdoors.

•

Wipe up spills immediately.
