Emissions

Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO

2

 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. 594

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.

Before Performing Maintenance

Inspection and Maintenance

For your safety, perform all listed inspections and maintenance to keep your vehicle 
in good condition. If you become aware of any abnormality (noise, smell, insufficient 
brake fluid, oil residue on the ground, etc.), have your vehicle inspected by a dealer. 
(Note, however, that service at a dealer is not mandatory to keep your warranties in 
effect.)

Routine inspections

Perform inspections before long distance trips, when washing the vehicle, or when 
refueling.

Periodic inspections

Check the brake fluid level monthly.

Types of Inspection and Maintenance

1

Inspection and Maintenance

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of 
emissions control devices and systems may be 
done by any automotive repair establishment or 
individuals using parts that are “certified” to 
EPA standards.

According to state and federal regulations, failure to 
perform maintenance on the maintenance main 
items marked with # will not void your emissions 
warranties. However, all maintenance services should 
be performed in accordance with the intervals 
indicated by the driver information interface.

2

Maintenance Service Items

 P. 588

If you want to perform complex maintenance tasks 
that require more skills and tools, you can purchase a 
subscription to the Service Express website at 

techinfo.honda.com

.

2

Authorized Manuals

 P. 689

If you want to perform maintenance yourself, make 
sure that you have the necessary tools and skills first.
After performing maintenance, update the records in 
the separate maintenance booklet.

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.

u

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.

u

Only operate the engine if there is sufficient ventilation.

The vehicle must be in a stationary condition.

u

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

Make sure that the radiator fan is stopped before inspecting the engine 
compartment.

u

Depending on the vehicle condition, the radiator fan may operate even when 
the power mode is in VEHICLE OFF.

Be aware that hot parts can burn you.

u

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

Be aware that moving parts can injure you.

u

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

u

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

Parts and Fluids Used in Maintenance Service

The use of Honda Genuine Parts and fluids is recommended when maintaining and 
servicing your vehicle. Honda Genuine Parts are manufactured according to the 
same high quality standards used in Honda vehicles.

Genuine Honda engine coolant is a 50/50 mixture of 
antifreeze and water that can withstand freezing at 
temperatures as low as about -31°F (-35°C). If your 
vehicle is consistently subjected to temperatures 
below this, the concentration of antifreeze in the 
coolant should be increased. Consult a dealer for 
details.

If Honda antifreeze/coolant is not available, you may 
use another major brand of non-silicate coolant as a 
temporary replacement. Check that it is a high quality 
coolant recommended for aluminum engines. 
Continued use of any non-Honda coolant can result 
in corrosion, causing the cooling system to 
malfunction or fail. Have the cooling system flushed 
and refilled with Honda antifreeze/coolant as soon as 
possible.

Do not add rust inhibitors or other additives to your 
vehicle’s cooling system. They may not be compatible 
with the coolant or with the engine components.

WARNING

Removing the radiator cap while the 
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray 
out, seriously scalding you.

Always let the engine and radiator cool 
down before removing the radiator cap.
