HONDA PILOT 2007 1.G Owners Manual

The compass may need to be
manually calibrated after exposure to
a strong magnetic field. If the
compassseemstocontinuallyshow
the wrong direction, do this. Drivethevehicleslowlyincircles
at
less than 5 mph (8 km/h) until
the center icon turns blue. This
icon also turns blue by continuing
to drive the vehicle under normal
driving conditions. When you see
an actual heading on the compass,
calibration is completed.
In most areas, there is a varia tion
between magnetic north and true
north. Zone selection is required so
the compass can compensate for this
varia tion. To check and select the
zone, do this:
Find the zone f or your area on the
zone map (see page ). Each
zone number (1 through 15)
corresponds to a compass zone on
the table (see page ). Press and hold the compass
button f or about 3 seconds. When
all of the direction icons begin to
blink, release the button.
The blue direction icon(s) blink
and show the current zone.
If the zone is incorrect, press and
release the compass button
repeatedly to get to the correct
number.
The compass will return to the
normal display about 4 seconds
af ter you stop adjusting a zone
number.
Do this procedure in an open
area, away f rom buildings, power
lines, and other vehicles.
With the blue center icon
displayed, press and hold the
compass button for about 6
seconds. When the center icon
turns red, release the button. 2.

the brightness of the rearview
camera image.
Whenever you shif t to R (reverse)
with the ignition switch in the ON

on the navigation or Compass
system screen. Since the rearview camera display
area is limited, you should always
back up slowly and caref ully, and
look behind you f or obstacles.
For the best picture, always keep the
rearview camera clean, and do not
cover the camera lens. To avoid
scratching the lens when you clean it,
use a moist, sof t cloth.

If you are training HomeLink to
operate a garage door or gate, you
should unplug the motor f or that
device during training. Repeatedly
pressing the remote control button
could burn out the motor.
HomeLink stores the code in a
permanent memory. There should
be no need to retrain HomeLink if
your vehicle’s battery goes dead or is
disconnected. The HomeLinkuniversal
transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateupto
three remotely controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems.
If your garage door opener was
manuf actured bef ore April 1982, you
may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. They do not have the safety feature that causes
the motor to stop and reverse if an
obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury.
Always ref er to the opening
instructions and saf ety inf ormation
that came with your garage door
opener or other equipment you
intend to operate with HomeLink. If
you do not have this inf ormation,
contact the manuf acturer of the
equipment.
For quick and accurate training,
make sure the remote transmitter
for the device (garage door,
automatic gate, security system, etc.)
has a fresh battery.
If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink bef ore, you should erase
any previously learned codes bef ore
training the first button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver fo r about 25 seconds,
until the red indicator f lashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to
step 1.
If you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to step 1.
Unplug the garage door opener
motor f rom the electrical outlet.
Holdtheendof thegaragedoor

Press and hold the remote
transmitter button and one of the
HomeLink buttons at the same
time. Press
and hold the remote
transmitter button and one of the
HomeLink buttons at the same
time. While continuing to hold the
HomeLink button, press and
release the remote transmitter
button every 2 seconds.
If
the red indicator in HomeLink
continues to flash slowly (does
not flash rapidly), your remote
transmitter may stop
transmitting after a short time.
Go to step 4.
PushandholdtheHomeLink
button for a few seconds, then
watch the red indicator on
HomeLink. If the indicator stays on or
flashes slowly, repeat steps 2
thru 5.
If the indicator flashes rapidly
for 2 seconds then stays on, you
have a rolling code transmitter:
go to ‘‘Training with a Rolling
Code System’’ (see page ).
If the red indicator in HomeLink
begins to f lash slowly at f irst,
then rapidly, release both
buttons, and go to step 5. If the red indicator in HomeLink
begins to f lash slowly at f irst,
then rapidly, release both
buttons, and go to step 5.
If the red indicator in HomeLink
continues to f lash slowly (does
not begin to f lash rapidly),
repeat steps 2 thru 4.
Plug in the garage door opener
motor, then test the HomeLink
button by pushing it f or about 1 second.
If the button works,
programming is complete.
If the button does not work go

Make sure you have properly
completed the ‘‘Training
HomeLink’’ procedure.
Find the ‘‘training’’ button on your
garage door opener unit. The
location will vary, depending on
the manufacturer.Press and hold the button on
HomeLink f or 3 to 4 seconds.
Press and hold the HomeLink
button again f or 3 to 4 seconds.
This should turn of f the training
indicator on the garage door
opener unit. (Some systems may
require you to press the button up
to three times.)
Press the HomeLink button again
f or about 1 second. It should
operate the garage door.
The ‘‘Training HomeLink’’
procedure trains HomeLink to the
proper garage door opener code.
The f ollowing procedure
synchronizes HomeLink to the
garage door opener so it sends and
receives the correct codes. For security purposes, newer garage
door opening systems use a ‘‘rolling’’
or variable code. Information from
the remote control and the garage
door opener are needed bef ore
HomeLink can operate the garage
door opener.
Press the training button on the
garage door opener unit until the
indicator next to the button comes
on. The indicator may blink, or

Help assure your vehicle’s future
reliability and performance by paying
extra attention to how you drive
during the first 600 miles (1,000 km).
During this period:
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
accele ration.
Do not change the oil until the
scheduled maintenance time.
Avoidhardbrakingforthefirst
200 miles (300 km).
Do not tow a trailer.
You should also follow these
recommendations with an
overhauled or exch anged engine, or
when the brakes are replaced. In
addition, in order to maintain good
performance, fuel economy, and
emissions control, we strongly
recommend, in areas where it is
available, the use of gasoline that
does NOT contain manganese-b ased
fuel additives such as MMT.
Your
vehicle is designed to operate
on unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane number of 87 or higher. Use
of a lower octane gasoline can cause
a persi stent, heavy metallic rapping
noise that can lead to engine damage.
We recommend using quality
gasolines containing detergent
additives that help prevent fuel
system and engine deposits. Some
gasoline today is blended with
oxygenates such as ethanol or
MTBE. Your vehicle is designed to
operate on oxyg enated gasoline
containing up to 10 % eth anol by
volume and up to 15 % MTBE by
volume. Do not use gasoline
containing methanol.
Premium f uel is recommended when
towing in certain conditions (see
page ).
Use of gasoline with these additives
may adversely af f ect perf ormance,
and cause the malfunction indicator
lamp on your instrument panel to
come on. If this happens, contact
your authorized dealer f or service. If you notice any undesirable
operating symptoms, try another
service station or switch to another
brand of gasoline.
