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 items other than Honda Genuine Accessories designated for 
your vehicle over areas marked 

SRS AIRBAG

, on the sides or backs of the front 

seats, on the sides of the rear seats, on front or side pillars, or near the side 
windows.
Items other than Honda Genuine Accessories designated for your vehicle 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.

2

Fuses

 P. 791

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.

Some Honda Genuine Accessories are supplied with 
an exclusive owner’s manual for the operation and 
care detail of the product. If an accessory owner’s 
manual is provided to you, please refer to it for full 
detail.

If any Honda Genuine Accessories become 
inoperable, refer to the separate accessory owner’s 
manual (if applicable) or consult a dealer for 
assistance to troubleshoot the potential faulty 
condition.

3

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.

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 any of the electrical components.

If a Tire Goes Flat

Changing a Flat Tire

If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually 
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with a compact 
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the regular tire repaired or 
replaced.

1.

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

Models with a compact spare tire

1

Changing a Flat Tire

Follow compact spare precautions:
Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact 
spare. It should be set to the specified pressure. 
Specified Pressure: 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm

2

)

When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the 
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with 
a regular tire as soon as possible.

The compact spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are 
specifically for this model. Do not use them with 
another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact 
spare tire or wheel with your vehicle.

Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire. 
If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of 
the regular rear tires and replace it with the compact 
spare tire. Remove the flat front tire and replace it 
with the regular tire that was removed from the rear. 
Mount the tire chains on the front tire.

NOTICE

Do not use the jack if it doesn't work properly. Call 
your dealer or a professional towing service.

How to Set Up the Jack

Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the 
vehicle.

Use the jack provided in your vehicle.
Other jacks may not support the weight (“load”) or 
may not fit the jacking point.

The following instructions must be followed to use 
the jack safely:

Do not use while the engine is running.

Use only where the ground is firm and level.

Use only at the jacking points.

Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.

Do not put anything on top of or underneath the 
jack.

3

WARNING

The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, 
seriously injuring anyone underneath.

Follow the directions for changing a tire 
exactly, and never get under the vehicle 
when it is supported only by the jack.

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.

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 5/32 inch (4 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 
use.

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

3

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.

NOTICE

Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit

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

cause a rapid buildup of toxic carbon

Emergency Engine Stop

The

 button may be used to stop the engine due to an 

emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, do either of the 
following operations:

Press and hold the

 button for about two seconds.

Firmly press the 

ENGINE START/STOP

 button three times.

The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables 
the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will 
require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use 
both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a 
safe place. With manual transmission models you can also downshift the 
transmission to utilize engine braking.

The power mode is in ACCESSORY when the engine is stopped.
To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, put the transmission into
