This indicator also blinks several
times when you turn the ignition
switch f rom the ON (II) position to
the ACCESSORY (I) or the LOCK
(0) position.
This indicator comes on brief ly when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position. If it comes on at
any other time, it indicates a
potential problem with your f ront
airbags. This indicator will also alert
you to a potential problem with your
side airbags, passenger’s side airbag
automatic cutoff system, side curtain
airbags, automatic seat belt
tensioners, driver’s seat position
sensor, or the f ront passenger’s
weight sensors. For more
inf ormation, see page . This indicator comes on f or a f ew
seconds when you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position. It will
then go of f if you have inserted a
properly-coded ignition key. If it is
not a properly-coded key, the
indicator will blink, and the engine
will not start (see page ).
This indicator comes on when you
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position. If it comes on at any
other time, it indicates that the
passenger’s side airbag has automatically shut off. For more
inf ormation, see page .
This indicator normally comes on f or
a f ew seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, and when the ignition
switch is turned to the START (III)
position. If it comes on at any other
time, there is a problem with the
ABS. If this happens, have your
vehicle checked at a dealer. With
this indicator on, your vehicle still
has normal braking ability but no
anti-lock f unction. For more
inf ormation, see page .

The temperature sensor is in the
f ront bumper. Theref ore, the
temperature reading can be af f ected
by heat ref lection f rom the road
surf ace, engine heat, and the
exhaust f rom surrounding traf f ic.
This can cause an incorrect
temperature reading when your
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized bef ore doing this
procedure. If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C in
Canadian models) warmer or cooler. The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes.
If your f uel f ill cap is loose or
missing, a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’
messageappearsastextinthe
odometer/trip meter display af ter
you start the engine. The message
appears f rom CHECK to FUEL, then
to CAP repeatedly. When it reaches the desired value,
release the Select/Reset button. You
should see the new outside
temperature displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near f reezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
f orming on the road surf ace. To adjust the outside temperature
display, press and hold the Select/
Reset button f or 10 seconds. The
f ollowing sequence will appear f or
one second each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5,4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2,
3, 3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada). Turn the engine of f and conf irm the
f uel f ill cap is installed. If it is, loosen
the cap, then retighten it until it
clicks at least once. When you
restart the engine, the message
appears again. To clear, press and
hold the Select/Reset button until
the message is replaced by the
odometer/trip meter display.
If the system still detects a loose or
missing f uel f ill cap, the malf unction
indicator lamp (MIL) comes on.
Turn the engine of f , and check or
retighten the f uel f ill cap until it
clicks at least once. The MIL goes
out af ter 3 days of normal driving
once the cap is tightened or replaced.
If it does not go out, have your
dealer inspect the vehicle. For more
inf ormation, see page .

Pull out the f astening strap f rom

f ront seat f orward slightly, then
attach the anchor on the fastening
strap to the hook on the bottom of
the f ront seat. Adjust the f ront
seat to the desired position.Reverse this procedure to return the
seat to the upright position.
Make sure the seat is securely
latched bef ore driving.
When you are not using the

store it properly into the slit on the
seat-back.
Make sure all rear shoulder belts are
positioned in f ront of the rear seat-
backs.
In the center seating position of the
rear seat, be sure the detachable
anchor is latched securely bef ore
using the seat belt (see page ).
Make sure all items in the cargo area
are secured. Loose items can f ly
f orward and cause injury if you have
to brake hard (See
on page ).
Pull the fastening strap tab toward
the slit to tighten the strap, and
make sure the seat is secure. Make sure that the f olded up rear
seat does not interf ere with the f ront
passenger’s seat-back. This will
cause the f ront passenger’s weight
sensors to work improperly (see
page ). Also check the passenger
airbag of f indicator to assure proper
operation of the passenger’s
advanced front airbag.

Do not use the seat heaters when the
engine is of f or when idling f or a
long period of time. They can drain
the battery, making your vehicle
hard to start.

window. To open the window, push
the switch down and hold it. Release
the switch when you want to stop the
window. Pull back on the switch and
hold it to close the window.
Both f ront seats are equipped with
seat heaters in the seat bottoms only.
Because of sensors f or the side
airbag system, there are no heaters
in the seat-back in either the driver
or passenger seats. The ignition
switch must be in the ON (II)
position to use them. Push the
heater switch to turn the power on or

If your seat belts get dirty, use a sof t
brush with a mixture of mild soap
and warm water to clean them. Do
not use bleach, dye, or cleaning
solvents. Let the belts air-dry bef ore
you use the vehicle.
Dirt build-up in the loops of the seat
belt anchors can cause the belts to
retract slowly. Wipe the insides of
the loops with a clean cloth
dampened in mild soap and warm
water or isopropyl alcohol.

This f ilter removes the dust and

outside through the heating and
cooling system.
Have your dealer replace this filter
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km)
under normal conditions. It should
be replaced every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) if you drive primarily in
urban areas that have high
concentrations of soot in the air, or if
the f low f rom the heating and
cooling system becomes less than
usual.
Make sure the rear f loor mats are
properly hooked to the f loor mat
anchors. Your vehicle is equipped
with f ront passenger’s seat weight
sensors. If the rear passenger’s f loor
mat is on the seat rail of the f ront
passenger’s seat, the sensors will
detect the decreased weight on the
seat, and they may not work properly.
If you remove a f loor mat, make sure

The emissions control systems are
designed and certif ied to work to-
gether in reducing emissions to
levels that comply with the Clean Air
Act. To make sure the emissions
remain low, you should use only new
Honda replacement parts or their
equivalent f or repairs. Using lower
quality parts may increase the
emissions f rom your vehicle.
The emissions control systems are
covered by warranties separate from
the rest of your vehicle. Read your
warranty manual for more inf orma-
tion.
The three way catalytic converter is
in the exhaust system. Through
chemical reactions, it converts HC,
CO, and NOx in the engine’s exhaust
to carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrogen
(N ), and water vapor.
This system constantly adjusts the
ignition timing, reducing the amount
of HC, CO, and NOx produced.
The PGM-FI system uses sequential
multiport f uel injection. It has three
subsystems: air intake, engine
control, and f uel control. The
powertrain control module (PCM) in
automatic transmission vehicles or
the engine control module (ECM) in
manual transmission vehicles use
various sensors to determine how
much air is going into the engine. It
then controls how much f uel to inject
under all operating conditions.
The exhaust emissions controls
include three systems: PGM-FI,
ignition timing control, and three
way catalytic converter. These three
systems work together to control the
engine’s combustion and minimize
the amount of HC, CO, and NOx that
come out the tailpipe. The exhaust
emissions control systems are
separate f rom the crankcase and
evaporative emissions control
systems.
