Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose
of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an
airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety--and the safety of others--is very important and operating this
vehicle safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make
informed decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about
all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle.
Therefore, you must use your own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle's safety features and how to use them.
Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also
help to keep you and your passengers safe.
n Important Safety Precautions
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Secure all children in the proper restraint system.
• Be aware of airbag hazards.
• Don't drink and drive.
• Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.
• Control your speed.
• Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from
paying close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could
lead to a crash. Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can
decide when it is safe to divert some attention away from driving.
n Safety Messages
When you see the following messages throughout this guide, pay close
attention.
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you
don’t follow instructions.
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you

Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren). Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-
type connector. Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously
owned child seats can only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type
you choose, follow the child seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions
as well as the instructions in this guide. Proper installation is key to
maximizing your child’s safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH
compatible child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether

seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-compatible seat once a child reaches a
specified weight. Please read the child seat owner’s manual for proper
installation instructions.
Important considerations when selecting a child seat
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:
• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 4. Route the tether strap over the top of the head restraint and secure the

• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and
flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them, causing a fire. • Independent of the Maintenance Minder information, replace the brake fluid

If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the
engine oil life.
Add oil if necessary.

Note: Under certain driving conditions, it is normal for the engine oil level to
rise above the upper mark. If you have a concern, consult a dealer for
details.
n Recommended Engine Oil
• Genuine Honda Motor Oil
• Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certification Seal on the

Every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
• Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in
the side or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks.
Replace tires if you see fabric or cord.

n Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating,
and maximum cold tires pressure rating (as shown on the tires' sidewall).
Using tires of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle
systems to work incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same

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 codes 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) (continuously variable transmission) or
NEUTRAL (N) (manual transmission). 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 in DRIVE (D) (continuously variable transmission) or 5th (manual).
Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without
moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.)
If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic
conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat it two more times (for a
total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city or 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. The codes
are 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, you may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test or see your dealer.
