Braking

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

Driving

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

Helps prevent the wheels from locking up, and helps you retain steering control by
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you can.

The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.

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.”

■

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.

ABS may activate when you depress the brake pedal when driving on:

•

Wet or snow covered roads.

•

Roads paved with stone.

•

Roads with uneven surfaces, such as potholes, cracks, manholes, etc.

When the vehicle speed goes under 6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.

■

ABS

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

NOTICE

The ABS may not function correctly if you use a tire of
the incorrect size or type.

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.

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.

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

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.

•

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.

Brake Assist System

Driving

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.

Fuel Information

■

Fuel recommendation

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

Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause occasional metallic knocking noise in the
engine and will result in decreased engine performance.
Use of a gasoline with a pump octane less than 87 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

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.

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

Turn off the engine.

Unlock the driver’s door.

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

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

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

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 lock tab or 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.

Using the Walk away auto lock

feature will also lock

the fuel fill door. Always make sure both the driver’s
door and fuel fill door are unlocked before
attempting to open the fuel fill door.

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 1.3 US gal (5 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.

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 and cause fuel to spill.

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.

Turbo Engine Vehicle

Handling Precautions

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.

•

When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid revving the engine or sudden
acceleration.

•

Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Maintenance
Minder

. 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.

Safety When Performing Maintenance

Some of the most important safety precautions are given here. However, we cannot
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance.
Only you can decide whether you should perform a given task.

•

To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames
away from the battery and all fuel related parts.

•

Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.

Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them, causing a fire.

•

To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not
gasoline.

•

Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or
compressed air.

•

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous and can kill you.

Only operate the engine if there is sufficient ventilation.

•

The vehicle must be in a stationary condition.

Make sure your vehicle is parked on level ground, the parking brake is set, and
the engine is off.

•

Be aware that hot parts can burn you.

Make sure to let the engine and exhaust system cool thoroughly before
touching vehicle parts.

•

Be aware that moving parts can injure you.

Do not start the engine unless instructed, and keep your hands and limbs away
from moving parts.

Do not open the hood while the Auto Idle Stop function is activated.
