If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could 
cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying American Honda \
Motor Co.,
Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and  if it finds 
that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recal\
l and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems 
between you, your dealer, or American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-
4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator,

DRIVINGDRIVING
In addition:
• During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acc\
eleration or
full throttle operation so as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
• Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this 
when the brake pads are replaced.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling, and 
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously 
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories
and modifications.
WARNING
Maximum Load Limit
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle\
’s handling,
stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe. 
The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (385 kg). See the Tire and Loading 
Information label on the driver’s doorjamb.
This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Below are the
steps for determining the correct load limit:
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo 
should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be 
riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg 
or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage 
load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and 
there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of 
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) 
= 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on 
the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and 
luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be 
transferred to your vehicle. Consult the owner’s Manual on the owner
Information CD or at owners.honda.com (U.S.) or myhonda.ca (Canada)
to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load 
capacity of your vehicle.
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories, 
cargo, and trailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight 
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label 
on the driver’s doorjamb.

Remote Engine Start*
Start your vehicle’s  engine using the remote  transmitter  before you enter  the vehicle.
Make sure the vehicle is in a safe location when using remote engine start (i.e., a
well-ventilated area, away from any flammable materials).
Starting the Engine
Press the Lock button, then press and hold the Engine button within 5 seconds to 
remotely start the engine.
The engine runs for up to 10 minutes. To extend the run time for another 10
minutes, repeat the procedure during the initial 10 minutes.
While the engine is running, the climate control system adjusts the cabin 
temperature, the security system remains on, and lights and accessories remain
off.
Stopping the Engine
Press and hold the Engine button.
The engine will also stop if it has been running for more than 10 minutes, or if any 
door is opened without using the remote or smart entry.
Engine exhaust contains toxic carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can kill you or cause unconsciousness.
Never use the remote engine starter when the vehicle is parked in a gara\
ge or
other area with limited ventilation.

Foot Brake
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your

slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to
hold the brake pedal firmly down.

pedal may pulsate slightly during ABS operation;
this is normal. Do not pump the brake pedal, and 
continue to hold it firmly down.
