HANDLING THE UNEXPECTEDHANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Overheating
If the temperature gauge needle is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power, 
or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheat\
ing.
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn 
off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning 
lights.
2. If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood.
 If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine and
wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the tem\
perature
gauge needle goes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop the 
engine.
4. once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the \
cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank 
is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in the 
reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator ca\
p with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the 
filler neck, and put the cap back on.
once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone 
down, contact a dealer for repairs.
MAX
Reserve tank
MIN
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant t\
o
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may \
damage
the engine.
NOTICE
Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an 
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of 
the following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 
two seconds, or
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two 
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also 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 vehi\
cle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and 
stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine 
to be switched off.
*if equipped
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The 
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can 
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front 
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.

Maintenance Minder Service Codes
These codes indicate what services are due on your vehicle.
*1:If a message SERVICE does not appear more than 12 months after the display is reset, change
the engine oil every year.
#: See information on maintenance and emissions warranty.
CODEMaintenance Main Items
A
Replace engine oi l*1
BReplace engine oil*1 and oil lter
Inspect front and rear bra kes/service as necessary
Check parking brake adjustment
Inspect tie rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots
Inspect suspension components
Inspect driveshaft boots
Inspect brake hoses and lines (Including ABS/VSA )
Inspect all uid levels and condition of uids
Inspect exhaust system#
Inspect fuel lines and connections#
*2:If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every \
15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of s\
oot in the air from industryand diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen lter every \
15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*4: Continuously variable transmission (CVT) models
*5: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher
transmission temperatures. This requires transmission uid changes mo\
re frequently than
recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehic\
le under thes e
conditions, have the transmission uid changed every 25,000 miles (4\
0,000 km).
*6: 6-cylinder models
*7: If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110 °F, 43 °C), in very low temperatures
(under -20 °F/-29 °C), or tow a trailer, replace every 60,000 mi\
les/100,000 km .

MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE
Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant\
level in the
radiator. We recommend Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
Checking the Reserve Tank
1. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add 
the specified coolant until it reaches the MAX
mark.
3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Adding Coolant
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
2. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and
relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do
not push the cap down when turning.
3. Push down and turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise to remove it.
4. The coolant level should be up to the base of the 
filler neck. Add coolant if it is low.
5. Put the radiator cap back on, and tighten it fully.
6. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches
the MAX mark. Put the cap back on the reserve 
tank.
Reserve
tank
MAXMIN
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expected, the coolant 
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer for details 
for more information.
NOTICE
Radiator ca p
removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant t\
o
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator 
cap.
WARNING
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.
NOTICE
Brake Fluid
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the 
reservoir. We recommend using Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3.
Pour the fluid carefully.
If the fluid level is at or below the MIN mark, have a 
dealer inspect for leaks or worn brake pads as soon 
as possible.
