Temperature HONDA ACCORD 2005 CL7 / 7.G Owners Manual

Your vehicle’s exhaust contains
carbon monoxide gas. You should
have no problem with carbon
monoxide entering the vehicle in
normal driving if you maintain your
vehicle properly.High levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly in enclosed areas,
such as a garage. Do not run the
engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move the
vehicle out of the garage.With the trunk open, airf low can pull
exhaust gas into your vehicle’s
interior and create a hazardous
condition. If you must drive with the
trunk open, open all the windows and
set the heating and cooling system/
climate control system as shown
below.
If you must sit in your parked vehicle
with the engine running, even in an
unconf ined area, adjust the heating
and cooling system/climate control
system as f ollows:
Select the f resh air mode.
Select the mode.
Turn the f an on high speed.
Set the temperature control to a
comfortable setting.
Have the exhaust system inspected
f or leaks whenever:
The vehicle is raised f or an oil
change.
You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust.
The vehicle was in an accident
that may have damaged the
underside. 1.2.3.4.

The gauges illuminate when you
turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial
regulations to disconnect, reset, or
alter the odometer with the intent to
change the number of miles or
kilometers indicated.
The odometer and the outside
temperature indicator use the same
display. To switch the display
between the odometer and the
outside temperature, press the
Select/Reset knob. When you turn
the ignition switch to ON (II), what
you last selected is displayed.

This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays and the odometer/outside
temperature display by pressing the
Select/Reset knob repeatedly. Each
trip meter works independently, so
you can keep track of two dif f erent
distances.
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), what you last selected is
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.
When it reaches the desired value,
release the Select/Reset knob. You
should see the new outside
temperature displayed.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized bef ore doing this
procedure.
Select the outside temperature
display, then press the Select/Reset
knob f or ten 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.)or0,1,2,3, 3, 2,
1, 0 (Canada).
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C in
Canadian models) warmer or cooler.
To reset a trip meter, display it and
then press and hold the Select/Reset
knob until the number resets to ‘‘0.0.’’
Both trip meters will reset if the
vehicle’s battery goes dead or is
disconnected.
This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Centigrade (Canadian
models). To see the outside
temperature, press and release the
Select/Reset knob until the
temperature is displayed.
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).
The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes.

This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise
from the bottom white mark to about
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the pointer may rise into the
upper half of the gauge. If it reaches
the red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the
side of the road. See page f or
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine’s cooling

Never drive with the seat-back
f olded down and the trunk lid open.
See on
page . Both f ront seats are equipped with seat heaters. The passenger seat
only has heaters in the seat bottom
because of side airbag system. The
ignition switch must be in the ON
(II) position to use the heaters.
Push the front of the switch, HI, to
rapidly heat up the seat. Af ter the
seat reaches a comfortabletemperature, select LO by pushing
the back of the switch. This will keep
the seat warm.
In HI, the heater turns of f when the
seat gets warm, and turns back on
after the seat’s temperature drops.
In LO, the heater runs continuously.
It does not cycle with temperature
changes.
Follow these precautions whenever
you use the seat heaters:
If the engine is lef t idling f or an
extended period, do not use the
seat heaters, even on the LO
setting. It can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly, because it draws
large amounts of current f rom the
battery.
