228Care and Maintenance
•Gently scrape the stain off trim
material with a clean,
DULL
knife or scraper. USE VERY
LITTLE CLEANER
, light
pressure, and a clean cloth
(preferably cheesecloth).
Cleaning should be from the
outside of the stain,
“
FEATHERING” towards the
center. Keep changing to a clean
section of the cloth.
•When the stain is cleaned from
the fabric, immediately dry the
area with an air hose, heat dryer
or heat lamp to help prevent a
cleaning ring. (Use caution with
a heat dryer or lamp to prevent
damage to fabric.)
•If a ring forms, immediately
repeat the cleaning operation
over a slightly larger area with
emphasis on “
FEATHERING”
towards its center. If a ring still remains, mask off surrounding
trim sections and clean the entire
affected area with a
multipurpose powered cleaner
(as described under
“Cleaning
General Soilage or Water Spots
From Fabric Trim ”).
Removal of Specific Stains
Grease or Oil Stains
These include grease, oil, butter,
margarine, shoe polish, coffee
with cream, chewing gum,
cosmetic creams, vegetable oils,
wax crayon, tar and asphalts.
•Carefully scrape off excess
stain; then use fabric cleaner
(solvent type) as previously
described.
•Shoe polish, wax crayons, tar
and asphalt will stain if allowed
to remain on trim; they should
be removed as soon as possible.
Use caution as cleaner will
dissolve them and may cause
them to “bleed. ”
Non-Greasy Stains
These include catsup, coffee
(black), egg, fruit juice, milk, soft
drinks, wine, vomit and blood.
•Carefully scrape off excess
stain; then sponge stain with
cool water.
•If a stain remains, use a
multipurpose powdered cleaner
(foam type) as previously
described.

229Care and Maintenance
•If an odor persists after
cleaning vomit or urine, treat
area with a water-baking soda
solution: 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters)
baking soda to 1 cup (250
milliliters) of warm water.
•Finally, if needed, clean lightly
with a fabric cleaner (solvent
type).
Combination Stains
These include candy, ice cream,
mayonnaise, chili sauce and
unknown stains.
•Carefully scrape off excess
stain; then clean with cool
water and allow to dry.
•If stain remains, clean with a
fabric cleaner (solvent type).
Cleaning Vinyl or Leather Trim
Ordinary soilage can be removed
from vinyl or leather with warm
water and a mild soap such as
saddle soap, oil soap or
equivalent.
•Apply a small amount of soap
solution and allow it to soak for
a few minutes to loosen dirt;
then rub briskly with a clean,
damp cloth to remove dirt and
traces of soap. (This may be
repeated several times, if
necessary.)
•Some compounds such as tar,
asphalt, shoe polish etc. will
stain if allowed to remain on
trim. They should be wiped off
as quickly as possible and the
area cleaned with a clean cloth
dampened with vinyl cleaner
(solvent type).
Seat Belt Care
•Clean seat belts only with mild
soap and lukewarm water.
•Do not bleach or dye belts
since this may severely weaken
them.

230Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Glass Surfaces
Glass surfaces should be cleaned
on a regular basis. Use of glass
cleaner will remove normal
tobacco smoke and dust films
sometimes caused by ingredients
used in vinyls and interior
plastics.
Never use abrasive cleaners to
clean the glass. They may cause
scratches or damage the defogger
wires in the rear window.Tinted Glass
Tinted, heat-reflecting glass has a
metal coating on the interior side.
Always clean this metal coating
with plain water or a neutral
detergent, not harsh chemicals.
Wipe with a clean, soft cloth or a
paper towel.

232Technical Data
Vehicle Identification
Number (
VIN)
This is the legal identification of the
vehicle. It appears on a plate attached
to the left top of the instrument panel
and can be easily seen through the
windshield from outside the vehicle.
Engine type – W; 6VD1 3.2L
4S6DM58WI24400032
The VIN also appears on the
vehicle’s Certification Label on
the driver’s door lock pillar.
Engine Identification
You can identify your engine from
the
VIN. The eighth character of
the
VIN is the engine code that
gives the engine model (refer to
the illustration).
Some information in this section
may refer to the engine model.
The engine number is stamped on
the left side of the cylinder block
near the starter.
Service Parts Identification
The Vehicle Information Plate
(Service Parts
ID Plate) is
provided on all vehicle models.
It is located on the center dash
wall inside the engine
compartment. The plate lists the
VIN (Vehicle Identification
Number), paint information and
all production options and special
Vehicle Identification

233Technical Data
equipment on the vehicle when it
was shipped from the factory. Be
sure to provide this information to
your authorized Honda dealer
when it is necessary to order
parts.
Vehicle Loading Information
The components of your vehicle
are designed to provide
satisfactory service only if the
vehicle is not loaded in excess of
either the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (
GVWR) or the maximum
front and rear Gross Axle Weight
Ratings (
GAWRs). These ratings
are listed on the Vehicle
Certification Label located on the
left door lock pillar.
Your Honda dealer can advise you
of the proper loading conditions
for your vehicle. The use of
selected heavier suspension
components for added durability
purposes does not increase any of
the weight ratings printed on the
Vehicle Certification Label.
Maximum Front and Rear
Axle Weight
The weight of the cargo load must
be properly distributed over both
the front and rear axles. The
Certification Label shows the
maximum weight that the front
axle (front
GAWR) can carry. It
also shows the maximum weight
that the rear axle (rear
GAWR) can
carry. The
GVWR represents the
maximum permissible loaded
weight of the vehicle and takes
into account the engine,
transmission, frame, springs,
brake, axle, and tire capabilities.
Actual loads on the front and rear
axles can only be determined by
weighing the vehicle. This can be
done at highway weight stations
or other such commercial weigh
stations. Consult your Honda
dealer for assistance. The cargo

load should be distributed on both
sides as equally as possible.
Effect on Warranty
Your Limited Warranty on your
new Honda vehicle does not apply
to any part of your vehicle that
has been subject to misuse. Any
part which fails because of
overloading is considered misuse.
Vehicle Certification Label
The Certification Label shows
the
GVWR and the front and rear
GAWRs for your vehicle.
Gross Vehicle Weight (
GVW) is
the weight of the originally
equipped vehicle and all items
added to it after it has left the
factory. This includes the driver
and all occupants, and the load the
vehicle is carrying. The
GVW
must not exceed the GVWR. Also,
the front and rear gross axle
weight must not exceed the front
and rear
GAWRs.
