Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorle\
ss,
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
• The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
• The exhaust system may have been damaged.
• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airflow can pull ex\
haust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive wi\
th the
tailgate open, open all the windows and set the climate control system a\
s shown
below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the
mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
parked
vehicle with the engine running.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and\

even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide\
.
WARNING
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon mono\
xide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage \
door is
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags \
are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is \
equipped
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and
wear them properly.
Lap/Shoulder Seat BeltsAll seven or eight seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat\
belts with
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you \
move freely
while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden sto\
p, the
retractor locks to restrain your body. The second- and third-row passenger’s seat
belts also have a lockable retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enha\
nce
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a mod\
erate
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to
inflate the front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat BeltsFollow these guidelines for proper use:
• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in t\
hat
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the \
effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury \
in a
crash.
• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm\
or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be\
very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improv\
e
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the pr\
otective
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Regularly check the condition of your seat belts. Check for frays, cuts,\
burns,
and wear, and that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
• No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that do\
es not
appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as\
soon
as possible.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injur\
y or
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

mechanical problems.
NOTICE
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 Reserve Tank 1. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add
the specified 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 radiator cap counterclockwise and
relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do
not push the cap down when turning.
3. Push down and turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise to remove it.
4. The coolant level should be up to the base of the
filler neck. Add coolant if it is low.
5. Put the radiator cap back on, and tighten it fully.
6. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches
the MAX mark. Put the cap back on the reserve
tank.
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 radiato\
r
cap.
WARNING
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expec\
ted, the coolant
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer fo\
r details
for more information.
NOTICE
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diag\
nostic 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 five times, the readiness codes \
are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness cod\
es 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). 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. Do not use cruise control. When traffic 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 traffic
conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (\
for a total of
90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic\
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, y\
ou may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your de\
aler. Vehicle
