The standard audio system has
many f eatures. This section de-
scribes those f eatures and how to
use them. (If you selected an
optional audio system, ref er to the
operating instructions that came
with it.) The heating and air conditioning
systems in your vehicle provide a
comf ortable driving environment in
all weather conditions.
The security system helps to dis-
courage vandalism and thef t of your
vehicle. Your vehicle has an anti-theft audio
system that requires a code number
to enable it..............

The direction and quantity of airf low
f rom each rear ceiling vent is
adjustable.
To adjust the direction of air coming
f rom a rear ceiling vent, move the
tab in the center of each vent back-
and-forth, and rotate the vent with
the tab. The lever next to each vent
can be opened and closed to regulate
the amount of airf low.Theclimatecontrolsystemhasthree
sensors. A sunlight sensor is in the
top of the dashboard, and a
temperature sensor is next to the
steering column. There is also a rear
sensor on the rear sidewall near the
exhaust vent. Do not cover the
sensors or spill any liquid on them. Sunlight and T emperature

Your vehicle has a parking sensor
system. The system lets you know
theapproximatedistancebetween
your vehicle and most obstacles
while you are parking. When the
system is on and your vehicle is
nearinganobstacle,youwillhear
beeping and see parking messages in
the multi-information display.To activate the system, push the
button on the dashboard with the
ignition in the ON (II) position. The
indicator in the button comes on
when the system is on. To turn the
system of f , push the button again.The system has two front corner
sensors, two rear corner sensors,
and a rear center sensor.
The rear center sensor works only
when the shif t lever is in Reverse (R),
and the vehicle speed is less than 5
mph (8 km/h).
The corner sensors work only when
the shif t lever is in any position other
than P and the vehicle speed is less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
All obstacles may not always be
sensed. Even when the system is on,
you should look f or obstacles near

The range of the corner sensors and
the rear center sensor are limited.
Each corner sensor is capable of
sensing an obstacle only when your
vehicleis20in(50cm)orcloser.
The rear center sensor senses an
obstacle that is behind your vehicle
70 in (1.8 m) or closer.Do not put any accessories on or
around the sensors.
The system may not f unction
properly under these conditions: After the vehicle has been sitting
out in hot or cold weather.
When the system is af f ected by
some electrical equipment or
devices generating an ultrasonic
wave.
When operating the vehicle in bad
weather.
The system may not sense thin or
low objects, or sonic-absorptive
materials such as snow, cotton, or
sponge.
The system cannot sense objects
directly under the bumper.
The sensors are covered with
snow,ice,mud,etc.
When the vehicle is on a rough
road, on grass, or on a hill.
This device complies with Industry Canada Standard RSS-210. Operation issubject to the f ollowing two conditions:(1) this device may not causeinterf erence, and (2) this device mustaccept any interf erence that may causeundesired operation of the device.

Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that turns on every time you start the
engine and monitors the pressure in
your tires while driving.
You will see the above display on the
multi-inf ormation display when you
turn the ignition switch to ON (II)
andpresstheINFObuttononthe
steering wheel six times.To see the inf lation pressures of all
f our tires, press the SEL/RESET
buttononthesteeringwheel.The
display changes as shown above.
Each tire has its own pressure
sensor. If the air pressure of a tire
becomes signif icantly low, the
sensor in that tire immediately sends
a signal that causes the low tire
pressure indicator in the instrument
panel to come on. If this happens,
you will see which tire is losing the
pressure in the multi-information
display along with a ‘‘CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE’’ message.

The exhaust emissions controls
include f our systems: PGM-FI,
ignition timing control, exhaust gas
recirculation and three way catalytic
converter. These f our systems work
together to control the engine’s
combustion and minimize the
amount of HC, CO, and NOx that
comes out the tailpipe. The exhaust
emissions control systems are
separate f rom the crankcase and
evaporative emissions control
systems.
The PGM-FI system uses sequential
multiport f uel injection.
It has three subsystems: air intake,
engine control, and f uel control. The
powertrain control module (PCM)
uses various sensors to determine
how much air is going into the
engine. It then controls how much
f uel to inject under all operating
conditions.This system constantly adjusts the
ignition timing, reducing the amount
of HC, CO, and NOx produced.
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
system takes some of the exhaust
gas and routes it back into the intake
manif old. Adding exhaust gas to the
air/f uel mixture reduces the amount
of NOx produced when the f uel is
burned.
The three way catalytic converter is
in the exhaust system. Through
chemical reactions, it converts HC,
CO, and NOx in the engine’s exhaust
to carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrogen
(N ), and water vapor.
The emissions control systems are
designed and certif ied to work to-
gether in reducing emissions to
levels that comply with the Clean Air
Act. To make sure the emissions
remain low, you should use only new
Honda replacement parts or their
equivalent f or repairs. Using lower
qualitypartsmayincreasethe
emissions f rom your vehicle.
The emissions control systems are
covered by warranties separate from
the rest of your vehicle. Read your
warranty manual f or more informa-
tion.
