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.

n
Fuel Information
Use of unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or higher is recommended.
Honda recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.
Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.
Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that help pr\
event
fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to maintain good \
performance,
fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly recommend the use of

gasoline
that does NOT contain harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT\
, if
such gasoline is available.
NOTICE n
How to Refuel
1.
The fuel fill door is located at the left rear of the
vehicle. Park next to the service pump that is most
accessible.
2.
Turn off the engine.
3.
Press the fuel fill door release button on the
driver’s door. The fuel fill door opens.
4.

5.
After filling, wait about 5 seconds before removing
the filler nozzle. Close the fuel fill door by hand.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or
seriously injured when handling fuel.
Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
WARNING
NOTICE
The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only service station fi\
ller nozzles for
refueling. Use of smaller diameter tubes (e.g., to siphon fuel for othe\
r uses) or other
non-service station devices can damage the area in and around the fill\
er opening.

n Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Required Federal Explanatio\
n
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthl\
y when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehic\
le
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated \
on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine\
the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly\

under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the prop\
er
pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenanc\
e,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TP\
MS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to \
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the syst\
em
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one m\
inute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue up\
on
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be abl\
e to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle \
that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or altern\
ate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually to
reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with t\
he compact spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repa\
ired or replaced.
n
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the par\
king brake, shift
to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1.
Open the trunk and remove the two tray-holding
bolts.

2. Pull out the tire tray. Hook the rear of the tray to the
guides on the back edge of the trunk.

3. Loosen the strap, then take the jack out.

1.
Turn the vehicle off, including all lights and
accessories.
2.
Remove the fuse box cover.
3.
Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
4.
If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the screws and replace the
fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screws.
