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 snow 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.

Parking Sensor System

The corner and center sensors monitor obstacles around your vehicle, and the
beeper, driver information interface and audio/information screen let you know the
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.

■

The sensor location and range

Parking Sensor System

Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is
no obstacle near your vehicle before parking.

The system may not work properly when:

•

The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud, or
dirt.

•

The vehicle has been out in hot or cold weather.

•

There is something nearby that emits ultrasonic
waves or high frequency sounds.

•

Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).

The system may not detect these obstacles:

•

Thin or low objects.

•

Sonic-absorptive materials, such as snow, cotton,
or sponge.

•

Objects directly under the bumper.

The system may falsely detect obstacles in the
following situations:

•

The vehicle is on uneven surface, such as grass,
bumps, or a hill.

•

When close to other vehicles with sonar sensors or
other objects that emit ultrasonic waves.

•

There is splashing water near the sensors due to
heavy rains, etc.

Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.

If you put any accessories (such as a towing hitch

or bicycle rack) on or around the rear sensors, the
system may activate if it detects these accessories as
an obstacle. In this case, turn off the rear sensor.

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 or a wall near
your vehicle's rear bumper, is blocking the radar
sensor's scope.

•

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

•

A vehicle is approaching at a 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 toward a wall, a pole, a
vehicle, and so on.

•

When driving for long distances on a road in a
trafficless area such as a desert.

If 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.

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

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 master door lock switch to unlock the fuel fill door.
The vehicle doors and fuel fill door automatically
relock if the keyless 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.
