Opening the Hood
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, and set the
parking brake.
2. Pull the hood release handle under the lower left corner of the dashboard.
3. Push the hood latch lever in the center to the right to release the lock mechanism, and open the hood.
4. Remove the support rod from the clamp using the grip. Mount the support rod in the hood.
When closing, remove the support rod, and stow it in the clamp, then gently lower the hood. Remove your hand at a height of approximately 12 inches (30 cm) and let the hood close.
Do not open the hood when the wiper arms are raised. The hood will strike the wipers, and may damage either the hood or the wipers.

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 Coolant
1. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add
the specied 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 reserve tank cap counterclockwise and relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do not push the cap down when turning.
3. Push down and turn the reserve tank cap counterclockwise to remove it.
4. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches the MAX mark.
5. Put the reserve tank cap back on, and tighten it fully.
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

Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
WARNING
Pour the uid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.
NOTICE

Window Washer Fluid
Check the amount of window washer uid by looking
at the reservoir. If the washer uid level is low, ll the
washer reservoir.
Pour the washer uid carefully. Do not overow the
reservoir.
Canadian models
If the washer uid level is low, the washer level indicator or a message appears in the Driver Information Interface.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer
reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution can damage the windshield washer pump.
NOTICE
Brake/Clutch* Fluid
The uid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir.
We recommend using Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3.
Pour the uid carefully.If the uid level is at or below the MIN mark, have a dealer inspect for leaks or worn brake pads as soon as possible.
The brake uid reservoir is also used for your vehicle’s clutch uid. As long as you keep the brake uid level as instructed above, there is no need for checking the clutch uid level.Brake uid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle’s braking system and can cause extensive damage.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. Some
states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions components are
working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine. The malfunction
indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks ve times, the readiness codes are not set. If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20 seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral for manual transmission. Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with
the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear. Do not use cruise control. When trafc allows,
drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary
slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of
trafc conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban trafc for at least 10 minutes. When trafc conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.SPECIFICATIONS 1.5-L engine models
