proper mix of conditioned and/or
heated air to raise or lower the
interior temperature to the
temperature you selected.
In the AUTO mode, the vehicle’s
interior temperature is
independently regulated f or the
driver and passenger. If the driver’s
side of the vehicle is getting too
much sun, the system will adjust to a
lower temperature. If you set the temperature to its
lowest limit, (Lo) or its highest limit,
(Hi) the system runs at f ull cooling
or heating only. It does not regulate
the interior temperature.
In cold weather, the f an will not
come on automatically until the
heater starts to develop warm air.
When
the indicator in the Dual button is on,
the driver’s side and passenger’s side
temperature can be controlled
independently (see page ).

The manual transmission is syn-
chronizedinallforwardgearsfor
smooth operation. It has a lockout so
you cannot shift directly from Fifth
to Reverse. When shif ting up or
down,makesureyoupushtheclutch
pedal down all the way, shift to the
next gear, and let the pedal up
gradually. When you are not shif ting,
do not rest your f oot on the clutch
pedal. This can cause your clutch to
wear out faster.Come to a full stop before you shift
into Reverse. You can damage the
transmission by trying to shif t into
Reverse with the vehicle moving.
Push down the clutch pedal, and
pause f or a f ew seconds bef ore
shif ting into Reverse, or shif t into
one of the f orward gears f or a
moment. This stops the gears so
they won’t ‘‘grind.’’
When slowing down, you can get
extra braking f rom the engine by
shifting to a lower gear. This extra
braking can help you maintain a safe
speed and prevent your brakes f rom
overheating while going down a
steep hill. Bef ore downshif ting,
make sure engine speed will not go
into the tachometer’s red zone in the
lower gear.

Rapid slowing or speeding-up
can cause loss of control on
slippery surfaces. If you crash,
you can be injured.
Use extra care when driving on
slippery surfaces.

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.If you use a non-Honda f loor mat,
make sure it f its properly and that it
canbeusedwiththefloormat
anchor. Do not put additional f loor
mats on top of the anchored mat.
This f ilter removes the dust and
pollenthatisbroughtinfromthe
outside through the heating and
cooling system/climate control
system.
Have your Honda dealer replace this
f ilter 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 climate control
system becomes less than usual.
Clean dirty seat belts with a sof t
brush and a mixture of mild soap and
warm water. Do not use bleach, dye,
or cleaning solvents that can weaken
the belt material. Let the belts air
drybeforeyouusethevehicle.
If you remove the f loor mats, make
sure to re-anchor them when you put
them back in your vehicle.
The driver’s and right rear f loor
mats that came with your vehicle
hooks over the f loor mat anchor.
This keeps the f loor mats f rom
sliding f orward and possibly
interf ering with the pedals or
marking the f ront passenger’s
weight sensors inef f ective.
