Tongue load
The weight of the tongue with a fully loaded trailer on
the hitch should be approximately:
•
Boat trailers: 5 – 15% of the total trailer weight
•
Other trailers: 10 – 15% of total trailer weight
Total load
Tongue load
Number of AWD models
occupant s2WD models
2600 lbs (272 kg)420 lbs (190 kg )
4570 lbs (259 kg)
5 390 lbs (177 kg
)
495 lbs (224 kg )3 60 lbs (163 kg)
To estimate the tongue load
Excessive tongue load reduces front tire traction and steering control. \
Too little
tongue load can make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
You can estimate the tongue load by measuring the trailer hitch height fr\
om the
ground in the following steps:
1.
Park the vehicle on level ground.
2.
Measure the distance between the ground and the bottom of the trailer hi\
tch.
3.
Connect the fully loaded trailer to the hitch.
4.
Measure the distance between the ground and the bottom of the trailer
hitch again.
5.
Subtract the second measurement from the first measurement, then refer\
to the
following table.
If the difference isAWD model s2WD models
1 inches (2.5 cm)150 lbs (68 kg)
1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm )250 lbs (114 kg)

2 3/8 inches (6.0 cm )450 lbs (205 kg)—
2 5/8 inches (6.7 cm )500 lbs (227 kg)—
If the difference becomes more than indicated in the table, distribute t\
he load or
remove cargo as needed. How to weigh the trailer loads using a public scale
Check each weight in the order indicated as shown. Refer to the table be\
low for
each weight’s limit except for the tongue load.
1. Front gross axle weight.
4.Gross combined weight.
2. Gr oss vehicle weight.
3. Rear gross axle weight.
5. Hitched trailer weight.
6. Unhitched trailer weight.
• If you cannot weigh the rear axle, subtract 1 from 2.
•
The maximum gross combined weight (4) decreases by 2% for every 1,000 feet
(305 m) of elevation.
•
To calculate the tongue load, subtract 5 from 6.
•
Refer to the trailer owner’s manual for additional information.
Fully load the vehicle and trailer. An attendant who watches the scale is needed as
all occupants should stay in the vehicle.
If a public scale is not available,
add the estimated weight of
your cargo load to the weight
of your trailer (as quoted by
the manufacturer), and then
measure the tongue load with
an appropriate scale or tongue
gauge or estimate it based on
cargo distribution.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), VSA helps to stabili\
ze the vehicle
during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what was intende\
d. It assists in
maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engine output an\
d selectively
applying the brakes.
n
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn VSA off,
your vehicle has normal braking and cornering ability,
but traction and stability enhancement become less
effective.
Press and hold the VSA OFF button until you hear a
beep to turn VSA on or off. The VSA OFF indicator
appears when the system is off.

ANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Emergency Engine Stop
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an emergency
situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of\
the following
operations:
•
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button
for two seconds, or
•
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button
three times.
If the vehicle is in Park (P), the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF. Otherwise, the
power mode changes to ACCESSORY.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also di\
sables the
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it\
will require
significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehi\
cle. Use both feet
on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in
a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary \
for the engine to
be switched off.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires
and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.
This is an acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious dama\
ge.
The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle\
can
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low,
the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message
appears on the multi-information display. The specific tire
with low pressure is displayed.
n What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust th\
e pressure to
the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on th\
e driver’s doorjamb.
n
Tire Fill Assist
Your vehicle gives you visual and audible alerts to help you adjust the t\
ire pressure to its appropriate level when the vehicle is on.
While inflating: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash once every 5 seconds.
When the correct pressure is reached:

The system beeps and the exterior lights
flash continuously for 5 seconds. Stop filling the tire.
If you overinflate: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash twice every
3 seconds.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that\
you may
have about the vehicle.
Q:
How do I set the vehicle clock?
A:
See page 55. For vehicles with navigation, the time is automatically set\
using
GPS signals.
Q:
Why doesn’t the vehicle start when I press the ENGINE START/STOP button?
A:
The brake pedal must be pressed to start the engine.
Q:
What is the AUTO setting on my headlight lever?
A:
When in the AUTO position, the vehicle’s exterior lights will automatically turn
on or off depending on the ambient lighting.
Q:
Why won’t the driver’s door unlock when I grab the door handle, even though
the keyless access remote* is within range?
A:
If you pull the handle too quickly, the system may not have time to confirm the
door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confirm the door is unlocked. If you are
wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q:
After my battery was disconnected or went dead, the audio system is aski\
ng for a
code. Where do I find this?
A:
In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn on the vehicle, then press
and hold the audio power button until the system reactivates.
Q:
Why can’t I operate Pandora* through the audio system?
A:
Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth Audio. Make sure Pandora mode
is selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter\
.
Some phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
Q:
Is my phone compatible with Bluetooth features? How do I pair my phone?
A:
To check phone compatibility, visit handsfreelink.honda.com (U.S.) or www.
handsfreelink.ca (Canada). Once there, select your vehicle and phone, \
then click the
image of your phone to check feature compatibility. For pairing instructions,
see page 80 in this book.
Q:
Every time I press the Talk button, the system gives me voice prompts. Can I turn
these off?
A:
You can press the Talk button a second time to interrupt the guidance. Or, you can
turn guidance on or off permanently via System settings. See page 54 . Q:
Why can’t I select an item using the selector knob or touchscreen?
A:
To prevent driver distraction, certain items are limited or inoperable wh\
ile the vehicle
is moving. Use voice commands or pull over to select the items.
Q: Where can I find the vehicle identification number (VIN)?
A: Check the label on the driver’
s doorjamb (the upright piece to which the door latches).
