HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
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.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly 
low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a
message appears on the multi-information display*.
What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified
level on the label on the driver’s doorjamb.
*if equipped
TPMS CalibrationAny time you inflate, change, or rotate one or more of the tires, you \
need to
recalibrate the system. The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes 
of cumulative driving at speeds between 30–60 mph (48–97 km/h). The vehicle 
must be steopped to begin calibration, and the process finishes automatically.
Using the TPMS button*
Press and hold the TPMS button near the steering 
wheel. The TPMS indicator blinks twice, and 
calibration begins.
Using the Settings menu*
Use the selector knob or the touchscreen to make and enter selections.
1. Models with one display: Press the SETTINGS 
button. Select Vehicle Settings.
Models with touchscreen: From the HoMe
screen, select Settings. Select vehicle.
2. Select TPMS Calibration.
3. Select Calibrate, and calibration begins.
Using the multi-information display*
Use the Info (p/q) and SEL/RESET buttons on the steering wheel to make and 
enter selections.
1. Scroll to the vehicle Settings screen, and select it.
2. Select TPMS Calibration.
3. Select Calibrate, and calibration begins.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices and sys\
tems
may be done by any automotive repair establishment or individuals using \
parts
that are certified to EPA standards.
According to state and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenan\
ce on the
maintenance main items marked with # will not void your emissions warranties.
However, all maintenance services should be performed in accordance with the 
intervals indicated by the multi-information display.
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 brakes/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 uid s
Inspect exhaust system#

*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 these
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.

Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the 
engine oil life.
Models with information display
1. Press the select/reset knob until the engine oil 
life appears in the display.
2. Press and hold the knob for 10 seconds or more, 
until the display begins to blink.
3. Press and hold the knob for 5 seconds or more. 
The engine oil life display returns to 100%.
Models with multi-information display
Use the Info (p/q) and SEL/RESET buttons on the steering wheel buttons to 
control the display.
1. Scroll to the vehicle Settings screen, and select
it.
2. Scroll to the Maintenance reset screen, and
select it.
3. Select reset. The maintenance codes disappear,
and the engine oil life display returns to 100%.
Failure to reset the Maintenance Minder™ display after a maintenance \
service
results in the system showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can\
lead to
serious mechanical problems.
NOTICE
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 cap
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.
