The tires on your vehicles are PAX
tires, and you cannot replace or
repair a f lat tire. Replacement or
repair of tires must be perf ormed by
a Honda dealer or an authorized
Michelin PAX system dealer. If the low tire pressure indicator
comes on, or the multi-information
display shows a ‘‘CHECK TPMS

automatically turns on even when
the VSA system is turned of f by
pressing the VSA OFF button (see
page ). If this happens, you
cannot turn the VSA system of f by
pressing the VSA OFF button again.
If there is a problem with the TPMS,
you will see the above message in
the multi-information display.
If you see this message, the system
is of f and is not monitoring the tire
pressures. Have the system checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.
For more inf ormation on the
Michelin PAX system, ref er to page
.
Because your vehicle is equipped
with the Michelin PAX system, you
can continue to drive up to about 125
miles (200 km). If you have a f lat tire,
take your vehicle to the nearest
Honda dealer or authorized Michelin
PAX system dealer.

We recommend the use of Honda
parts and f luids whenever you have
maintenance done. These are
manuf actured to the same high-
quality standards as the original
components, so you can be conf ident
of their performance and durability.
If you have the required service
done but do not reset the display, or
reset the display without doing the
service, the system will not show the
proper maintenance intervals. This
canleadtoseriousmechanical
problems because you will no longer
have an accurate record of when
maintenance is needed.
Your authorized Honda dealer
knows your vehicle best and can
provide competent, ef f icient service.
When you select ‘‘RESET’’ and
press the SEL/RESET button, the
multi-inf ormation display resets as
shown above. However, service at a dealer is not
mandatory to keep your warranties
in effect. Maintenance may be done
by any qualif ied service f acility or
person who is skilled in this type of
automotive service. Make sure to
have the service f acility or person
reset the display as previously
described. Keep all receipts as proof
of completion, and have the person
who does the work fill out the
maintenance record. Check your
warranty booklet f or more
inf ormation.
