Power Slidin g Doo r
Indicato r
EX model only
This indicator comes on for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition
switch ON (II). If it comes on at anyother time, there is a problem in the
power sliding door system. With this
light on, move the main switch on
the dashboard to the OFF position, and have the system checked by
your Honda dealer as soon as possible. You can still open or closeeach sliding door manually. For
more information on the power
sliding doors, see page 90.
Tur n Signa l an d
Hazar d Warnin g
Indicator s
The left or right turn signal light blinks when you signal a lane change or turn. If the light does not blink or
blinks rapidly, it usually means one of the turn signal bulbs is burned out (see page 273). Replace the bulb as
soon as possible, since other drivers
cannot see that you are signalling.
When you turn on the Hazard
Warning switch, both turn signal lights blink. All turn signals on theoutside of the vehicle should flash. Doo
r an d Brak e Lam p Monito r
The appropriate light comes on in this display if the tailgate or any dooris not closed tightly. If a brake light
does not work, the BRAK E LAM P
indicator comes on when you push
the brake pedal with the ignition switch ON (II).
A burned out brake light is a hazard
when drivers behind you cannot tell
you are braking. Have your brake lights repaired right away.
All the lights in the monitor display come on when you turn the ignitionswitch ON (II). The lights go off
after the engine starts and the
tailgate and all doors are closed
tightly.

AUTO SELEC T — If you are
traveling far from home and can no
longer receive the stations you
preset, you can use the Auto Select
feature to find stations in the local
area.
To activate Auto Select, press the
A. SEL button. A. SEL will flash in the display, and the system will go
into scan mode for several seconds.
It automatically scans both bands,
looking for stations with strong signals; It stores the frequencies of
six AM stations and twelve FM
stations in the preset buttons. You
can then use the preset buttons to
select those stations.
If you are in a remote area, Auto
Select may not find six strong AM stations or twelve strong FM stations.
If this happens, you will see a "0"
displayed when you press any preset
button that does not have a station
stored.
If you do not like the stations Auto Select has stored, you can store
other frequencies in the preset
buttons. Use the TUNE, SEEK, or SCAN function to find the desired
frequencies, then store them in the selected preset buttons as described
previously. Auto Select does not erase the
frequencies that you preset pre-
viously. When you return home, turn off Auto Select by pressing the
A. SEL button. The preset buttons will then select the frequencies you originally set.
