The Honda IMA (Integrated MotorAssist) System provides you withbetter fuel economy. An electricmotor assists the vehicle’s petrolengine when accelerating, andreduces the load on the engine toimprove the fuel economy. Whendecelerating, the turning wheelsactivate the electric motor, whichgenerates electric power to chargethe IMA battery. When you come tostop, an auto idle stop function shutsoff the engine under certainconditions (see page ).

The IMA battery’s voltage isextremely high (100 volts). Thisbattery is located under the luggagearea and there are no maintenancetasks you can safely perform.Consult your authorized dealer whenmaintenance or repair is needed.

If the vehicle is damaged or collapsed during a crash, high voltage from damaged electric parts may cause seriousinjury if you touch them. Never touch high voltage parts and related wiring (orange cables).

If electrolyte leaks from the battery, be careful not to let it get in your eyes or on your skin. If this occurs, flush withwater for at least 15 minutes, then immediately call a physician.

In the case of an electrical fire, we recommend the use of a fire extinguisher. If water must be used to extinguish afire, ensure that a large amount is used as smaller amounts can aggravate the fire further.

Your vehicle is equipped with a 100-volt Nickel-Metal Hydride battery. Handling of this battery requires specialknowledge and skills. Always consult your local Honda Dealer/Distributor for information on correct battery disposalprocedures.

You’ll find many safetyrecommendations throughout thissection, and throughout this manual.The recommendations on this pageare the ones we consider to be themost important.

A seat belt is your best protection inall types of collisions. Airbags aredesigned to supplement seat belts,not replace them. So even thoughyour vehicle is equipped with airbags,make sure you and your passengersalways wear your seat belts, andwear them properly (see page ).

Children age 12 and under shouldride properly restrained in a backseat, not the front seat. Infants andsmall children should be restrainedin a child restraint system. Largerchildren should use a booster seatand a lap/shoulder belt until theycan use the belt properly without abooster seat (see pages ).

While airbags can save lives, theycan cause serious or fatal injuries tooccupants who sit too close to them,or are not properly restrained.Infants, young children, and shortadults are at the greatest risk. Besure to follow all instructions andwarnings in this manual.16

Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Evenone drink can reduce your ability torespond to changing conditions, andyour reaction time gets worse withevery additional drink. So don’t drinkand drive, and don’t let your friendsdrink and drive, either.

Excessive speed is a major factor incrash injuries and deaths. Generally,the higher the speed, the greater therisk, but serious injuries can alsooccur at lower speeds. Never drivefaster than is safe for currentconditions, regardless of themaximum speed posted.

Engaging in mobile phoneconversation or other activities thatkeep you from paying close attentionto the road, other vehicles andpedestrians could lead to a crash.Remember, situations can changequickly, and only you can decidewhen it is safe to divert attentionaway from driving.

Having a tyre blowout or amechanical failure can be extremelyhazardous. To reduce the possibilityof such problems, check your tyrepressures and condition frequently,and perform all regularly scheduledmaintenance (see page ).249

Your vehicle is equipped with seatbelts in all seating positions.

Seat belts are the single mosteffective safety device for adults andlarger children. (Infants and smallerchildren must be properly restrainedin child restraint systems.)

When properly worn, seat belts:Keep you connected to the vehicleso you can take advantage of thevehicle’s built-in safety features.

Help protect you in almost everytype of crash, including:

frontal impactsside impactsrear impactsrollovers

Help keep you from being thrownagainst the inside of the vehicleand against other occupants.

Keep you from being thrown outof the vehicle.

Help keep you in a good positionshould the airbags ever deploy. Agood position reduces the risk ofinjury from an inflating airbag andallows you to get the bestadvantage from the airbag.

Not wearing a seat belt properlyincreases the chance of seriousinjury or death in a crash, eventhough your vehicle has airbags.

Your seat belt system also includesan indicator on the instrument paneland a beeper to remind you and yourpassengers to fasten your seat belts.

In most countries, there is a lawcovering the use of seat belts. Pleasetake time to familiarize yourself withthe legal requirements of thecountries in which you will drive.

Seat Belts

Why Wear Seat Belts


9

Not wearing a seat beltproperly increases thechance of serious injury ordeath in a crash, even thoughyour vehicle has airbags.

Be sure you and yourpassengers always wear seatbelts and wear them properly.

12/04/18 14:29:50 42TF2C00_014

Of course, seat belts cannotcompletely protect you in everycrash. But in most cases, seat beltscan reduce your risk of seriousinjury.

Always wear your seat belt, andmake sure you wear it properly.

Seat belts are designed to bear uponthe bony structure of the body, andshould be worn low across the frontof the pelvis or the pelvis, chest andshoulders, as applicable; wearing thelap section of the belt across theabdominal area must be avoided.

Seat belts should be adjusted asfirmly as possible, consistent withcomfort, to provide the protection forwhich they have been designed. Aslack belt will greatly reduce theprotection afforded to the wearer.

Belts should not be worn with strapstwisted.

Each belt assembly must only be usedby one occupant; it is dangerous toput a belt around a child being carriedon the occupant’s lap.



What You Should Do:

WARNING:

12/04/18 14:29:57 42TF2C00_015

Your vehicle has a supplementalrestraint system (SRS) with frontairbags to help protect the heads andchests of the driver and a front seatpassenger during a moderate tosevere frontal collision (see page

for more information on howyour front airbags work).

Your vehicle also has side airbags tohelp protect the upper torso of thedriver or a front seat passengerduring a moderate to severe sideimpact (see page for moreinformation on how your side airbagswork).

In addition, your vehicle has sidecurtain airbags to help protect theheads of the driver, front passenger,and passengers in the outer rearseating positions during a moderateto severe side or front impact (seepage for more information on howyour side curtain airbags work).

12/04/18 14:30:04 42TF2C00_016

The most important things you needto know about your airbags are:

They are designed to supplementthe seat belts.

To do their job, airbags mustinflate with tremendous force. Sowhile airbags help save lives, theycan cause minor injuries or moreserious or even fatal injuries ifoccupants are not properlyrestrained or sitting properly.

Always wearyour seat belt properly, and situpright and as far back from thesteering wheel as possible whileallowing full control of the vehicle. Afront passenger should move theirseat as far back from the dashboardas possible.

The rest of this section gives moredetailed information about how youcan maximize your safety.

Remember, however, that no safetysystem can prevent all injuries ordeaths that can occur in a severecrash, even when seat belts areproperly worn and the airbags deploy.



Airbags do not replace seat belts.

Airbags offer no protection in rearcollisions, or minor frontal or sidecollisions.

Airbags can pose serious hazards.

Adjust the driver’s seat as far to therear as possible while allowing you tomaintain full control of the vehicle.Have a front passenger adjust theirseat as far to the rear as possible.

If you sit too close to the steeringwheel or dashboard, you can beseriously injured by an inflating frontairbag, or by striking the steeringwheel or dashboard.

Once your seat is adjusted correctly,rock it back and forth to make sure itis locked into position. See page

for how to adjust the front seats.

In addition to adjusting the seat, youcan adjust the steering wheel up anddown, and in and out (see page ).

If you cannot get far enough awayfrom the steering wheel and stillreach the controls, we recommendthat you investigate whether sometype of adaptive equipment may help.

Adjust the Front Seats2.



Sitting too close to a frontairbag can result in seriousinjury or death if the frontairbags inflate.

Always sit as far back fromthe front airbags as possible.

12/04/18 14:30:26 42TF2C00_019

Adjust the driver’s seat-back to acomfortable, upright position,leaving ample space between yourchest and the airbag cover in thecentre of the steering wheel.

Passengers with adjustable seat-backs should also adjust their seat-back to a comfortable, uprightposition.

Adjust the driver’s head restraint sothe centre of the back of your headrests against the centre of therestraint.

Have passengers with adjustablehead restraints adjust their restraintsproperly as well. Taller personsshould adjust their restraint as highas possible.

Reclining a seat-back so that theshoulder part of the belt no longerrests against the occupant’s chestreduces the protective capability ofthe belt. It also increases the chanceof sliding under the belt in a crashand being seriously injured. Thefarther a seat-back is reclined, thegreater the risk of injury.

See page for how to adjust theseat-backs.

Properly adjusted head restraintswill help protect occupants fromwhiplash and other crash injuries.

When a passenger is seated in therear seating position, make sure therear head restraint is adjusted to itshighest position. Insert the latch plate into the buckle,

then tug on the belt to make sure thebelt is securely latched. Check thatthe belt is not twisted, because atwisted belt can cause seriousinjuries in a crash.

See page for how to adjust thehead restraints.

Improperly positioning headrestraints reduces theireffectiveness and you can beseriously injured in a crash.

Make sure head restraints arein place and positionedproperly before driving.

12/04/18 14:30:42 42TF2C00_021

Position the lap part of the belt aslow as possible across your hips,then pull up on the shoulder part ofthe belt so the lap part fits snugly.This lets your strong pelvic bonestake the force of a crash and reducesthe chance of internal injuries.

This spreads the forces of a crashover the strongest bones in yourupper body.

If necessary, pull up on the belt againto remove any slack, then check thatthe belt rests across the centre ofyour chest and over your shoulder.

If the seat belt touches or crossesyour neck, or if it crosses your arminstead of your shoulder, you need toadjust the seat belt anchor height.

The front seats have adjustable seatbelt anchors. To adjust the height ofan anchor, squeeze the two releasebuttons, and slide the anchor up ordown as needed (it has fourpositions).

If the belt is too short, hold the latchplate at a right angle and pull on theplate to extend the belt. Then insertthe latch plate into the buckle, andtug on the belt to make sure the beltis securely latched.

Position the belt as low as possibleacross your hips. This lets yourstrong pelvic bones take the force ofa crash and reduces the chance ofinternal injuries.

Pull on the loose end of the belt for asnug but comfortable fit.



Never place the shoulder portion of alap/shoulder belt under your arm orbehind your back.

Using the Lap Belt

18

12/04/18 14:30:57 42TF2C00_023

After all occupants have adjustedtheir seats and head restraints, andput on their seat belts, it is veryimportant that they continue to situpright, well back in their seats, withtheir feet on the floor, until thevehicle is safely parked and theengine is off.

Sitting improperly can increase thechance of injury during a crash. Forexample, if an occupant slouches,lies down, turns sideways, sitsforward, leans forward or sideways,or puts one or both feet up, thechance of injury during a crash isgreatly increased.

In addition, an occupant who is out ofposition in the front seat can beseriously or fatally injured in a crashby striking interior parts of thevehicle or being struck by aninflating front airbag.

If a seat belt does not seem to workas it should, it may not protect theoccupant in a crash.

Using a seatbelt that is not working properly canresult in serious injury or death.Have your dealer check the belt assoon as possible.

See page for additionalinformation about your seat beltsand how to take care of them.

22

Maintain a Proper SittingPosition

6.


No one should sit in a seat with aninoperative seat belt.


Sitting improperly or out ofposition can result in seriousinjury or death in a crash.

Always sit upright, well backin the seat, with your feet onthe floor.

12/04/18 14:31:04 42TF2C00_024

If you are pregnant, the best way toprotect yourself and your unbornchild when driving or riding in avehicle is to always wear a seat belt,and keep the lap part of the belt aslow as possible across the hips.

When driving, remember to situpright and adjust the seat as farback as possible while allowing fullcontrol of the vehicle. When ridingas a front passenger, adjust the seatas far back as possible.

This will reduce the risk of injuriesto both you and your unborn childthat can be caused by a crash or aninflating front airbag.

Each time you have a checkup, askyour doctor if it’s okay for you todrive.

If they do, theycould be very seriously injured in acrash.

Devices intended to improveoccupant comfort or reposition theshoulder part of a seat belt canreduce the protective capability ofthe seat belt and increase thechance of serious injury in a crash.


We recommend that pregnantwomen use a lap/shoulder beltwhenever possible.

Advice for Pregnant Women Additional Safety Precautions

Two people should never use thesame seat belt.

Do not put any accessories on seatbelts.

Never let passengers ride in theluggage area or on top of a folded-down back seat.

12/04/18 14:31:13 42TF2C00_025

Carrying hard or sharpobjects on your lap, or driving witha pipe or other sharp object inyour mouth, can result in injuriesif your front airbag inflates.

Objects onthe covers marked ‘‘SRS AIRBAG’’could interfere with the properoperation of the airbags or bepropelled inside the vehicle andhurt someone if the airbags inflate.

If yourhands or arms are close to anairbag cover, they could be injuredif the airbag inflates.

This couldresult in injuries if your sidecurtain airbags inflate.

If a side airbag or aside curtain airbag inflates, a cupholder or other hard objectattached on or near the door couldbe propelled inside the vehicle andhurt someone.

Improperly replacingor covering front seat-back coverscan prevent your side airbags frominflating during a side impact.

Do not place hard or sharp objectsbetween yourself and a frontairbag.

Do not attach or place objects onthe front airbag covers.

Keep your hands and arms awayfrom the airbag covers.

Do not put a coat hanger or hardobjects on a coat hook.

If a seat belt is worn during a crash,you should have your dealer inspectthe belt, and replace it if necessary.A belt that has been worn during acrash may not provide the same levelof protection in a subsequent crash.The dealer should also inspect theanchors for damage and replacethem if needed. If the automatic seatbelt tensioners activate during acrash, they must be replaced.

For safety, you should check thecondition of your seat belts regularly.

The tensioners can also be activatedduring a collision in which the frontairbags . In this case, theairbags would not be needed, but theextra tension in the seat belt couldbe helpful.

Pull each belt out fully, and look forfrays, cuts, burns, and wear. Checkthat the latches work smoothly andthe lap/shoulder belts retract easily.If a belt does not retract easily,cleaning the belt may correct theproblem (see page ). Any beltthat is not in good condition orworking properly will not providegood protection and should bereplaced as soon as possible.

If a side curtain airbag deploysduring a side impact, the tensioneron that side of the vehicle will alsodeploy.

When the tensioners are activated,the seat belts will remain tight untilthey are unbuckled.

The SRS indicator willcome on if there is a

problem with your automatic seatbelt tensioners (see page ).31

It is essential to replacethe entire assembly after it has beenworn in a severe impact even if damageto the assembly is not obvious.

Care should be taken toavoid contamination of the webbing withpolishes, oils and chemicals, andparticularly battery acid. Cleaning maysafely be carried out using mild soap andwater. The belt should be replaced ifwebbing becomes frayed, contaminatedor damaged.

No modifications oradditions should be made by the userwhich will either prevent the seat beltadjusting devices from operating toremove slack, or prevent the seat beltassembly from being adjusted to removeslack.

This can happen if the severity of acollision is at the margin, orthreshold, that determines whetheror not the airbags will deploy. Insuch cases, the seat belt will providesufficient protection, and thesupplemental protection offered bythe airbag would be minimal.

During a frontal crash, your seat beltrestrains your lower body and torso,while the tensioner tightens andlocks the seat belt to help keep youin place, and the front airbag helpsprotect your head and chest.

Although both airbags normallyinflate within a split second of eachother, it is possible for only oneairbag to deploy.

If you ever have a moderate tosevere frontal collision, sensors willdetect the vehicle’s rapiddeceleration.

If the rate of deceleration is highenough, the control unit will inflatethe driver’s and front passenger’sfront airbags, and activate theautomatic seat belt tensioners.

12/04/18 14:32:22 42TF2C00_033

After inflating, the front airbagsimmediately deflate, so they won’tinterfere with the driver’s visibility,or the ability to steer or operateother controls.

The total time for inflation anddeflation is less than a second, sofast that most occupants are notaware that the airbags deployed untilthey see them lying in their laps.

After a crash, you may see whatlooks like smoke. This is actuallypowder from the airbag’s surface.Although the powder is not harmful,people with respiratory problemsmay experience some temporarydiscomfort. If this occurs, get out ofthe vehicle as soon as it is safe to doso. If you ever have a moderate to

severe side impact, sensors willdetect rapid acceleration and signalthe control unit to instantly inflateeither the driver’s or the passenger’sside airbag.



How Your Side Airbags Work

29

12/04/18 14:32:28 42TF2C00_034

Only one airbag will deploy during aside impact. If the impact is on thepassenger’s side, the passenger’sside airbag may not deploy if there isno passenger.

To get the best protection from theside airbags, front seat occupantsshould wear their seat belts and situpright and well back in their seats.

Your vehicle has a side airbag cutoffsystem designed primarily to protecta child riding in the front passenger’sseat.

Although Honda does not encouragechildren to ride in front, if positionsensors detect a child has leaned intothe side airbag’s deployment path,the airbag will shut off.

The side airbag may also shut off if ashort adult leans sideways, or alarger adult slouches and leanssideways into the airbag’sdeployment path.

Objects placed on the frontpassenger seat can also cause theside airbag to be shut off.

If the side airbag off indicator comeson (see page ), have thepassenger sit upright. Once thepassenger is out of the airbag’sdeployment path, the system willturn the airbag back on, and theindicator will go out.

There will be some delay betweenthe moment the passenger movesinto or out of the airbag deploymentpath and when the indicator comeson or goes off.

A front seat passenger should notuse a cushion or another object as abackrest. It may prevent the cutoffsystem from working properly.

Side Airbag Cutoff System

30

12/04/18 14:32:37 42TF2C00_035

In a moderate to severe side impact,sensors will detect rapid accelerationand signal the control unit toinstantly inflate the side curtainairbag and activate the seat belttensioner on the driver’s or thepassenger’s side of the vehicle.

If the impact is on the passenger’sside, the passenger’s side curtainairbag will inflate even if there are nooccupants on that side of the vehicle.

One or both side curtain airbags mayinflate in a moderate to severefrontal collision which causes thefront airbags to deploy.

To get the best protection from theside curtain airbags, occupantsshould wear their seat belts and situpright and well back in their seats.

The SRS indicator alerts you to apotential problem with your airbags,sensors, seat belt tensioners, orpassenger front airbag off system.

When you turn the ignition switch tothe ON (II) position, this indicatorcomes on for several seconds thengoes off. This tells you the system isworking properly.

Your airbag systems and automaticseat belt tensioners are virtuallymaintenance free, and there are noparts you can safely service.However, you must have yourvehicle serviced if:

Any airbagthat has deployed must bereplaced along with the controlunit and other related parts. Anyseat belt tensioner that activatesmust also be replaced.

We recommend against the use ofsalvaged airbag systemcomponents, including the airbag,tensioners, sensors, and controlunit.

Do not try to remove or replaceany airbag by yourself. This mustbe done by your dealer or aknowledgeable body shop.

Take your vehicle to anauthorized dealer as soon aspossible. If you ignore thisindication, your airbags may notoperate properly.

Handling is allowed by trainedpersonnel only. It is prohibited toremove the airbag unit/belt-tensioner from the vehicle. In case ofmalfunction, shutdown or afterairbag inflation/belt-tensioneroperation you have to ask a qualifiedshop for repair or removal.

Together, airbags andseat belts provide the bestprotection.

Tampering could causethe airbags and automatic seat belttensioners to deploy, possiblycausing very serious injury.

If water or another liquidsoaks into the seat-back, it canprevent the side airbag systemfrom working properly.

CONTINUED

Leaving children withoutadult supervision is illegal in somecountries, and can be veryhazardous.

If you are not wearing aseat belt in a crash, you could bethrown forward and crush thechild against the dashboard or aseat-back. If you are wearing aseat belt, the child can be tornfrom your arms and be seriouslyhurt or killed.

During a crash, thebelt could press deep into the childand cause serious or fatal injuries.


Many parents say they prefer to putan infant or a small child in the frontpassenger seat so they can watch thechild, or because the child requiresattention.

If a child requires close physicalattention or frequent visual contact,we strongly recommend that anotheradult ride with the child in the backseat. The back seat is far safer for achild than the front.

Placing a child in the front seatexposes the child to hazards in afrontal collision or a side impact, andpaying close attention to a childdistracts the driver from theimportant tasks of driving, placingboth of you at risk.

For example, infants and smallchildren left in a vehicle on a hotday can die from heatstroke. Achild left alone with the key in theignition switch can accidentally setthe vehicle in motion, possiblyinjuring themselves or others.

This can preventchildren from accidentally fallingout (see page ).

Children who play in vehicles canaccidentally get trapped inside.Teach your children not to play inor around vehicles.

135



Do not leave children alone in avehicle.Never hold an infant or child on

your lap.

Never put a seat belt over yourselfand a child.

Never let two children use thesame seat belt.

Use the childproof door locks toprevent children from opening therear doors.

Lock all doors and the tailgatewhen your vehicle is not in use.

An infant must be properlyrestrained in a rear-facing, recliningchild restraint system until the childreaches the restraint system maker’sweight or height limit for therestraint system, and the child is atleast one year old.

‘‘Never let children kneel on seats orstand while the vehicle is in motion.The violent forces created duringemergency braking will cause thechildren to be thrown forward. Thechildren could be seriously injured orkilled.’’

Even very youngchildren learn how to unlockvehicle doors, turn on the ignitionswitch, and open the tailgate,which can lead to accidental injuryor death.

Use the main powerwindow switch to prevent childrenfrom opening the windows. Using thisfeature will prevent children fromplaying with the windows, whichcould expose them to hazards ordistract the driver (see page ).

When properly installed, a rearwardfacing child restraint system mayprevent the driver or a frontpassenger from moving their seat asfar back as recommended, or fromlocking their seat-back in the desiredposition.

In either situation, we stronglyrecommend that you install the childrestraint system directly behind thefront passenger seat, move the seatas far forward as needed, and leave itunoccupied. Or you may wish to geta smaller rearward facing childrestraint system.

A rearward facing child restraintsystem can be placed in any seatingposition in the back seat, but not inthe front.

If the passenger’s front airbaginflates, it can hit the back of therestraint with enough force to kill orseriously injure an infant.

Only a rearward facing childrestraint system provides propersupport for a baby’s head, neck andback.

Two types of restraints may be used:a restraint system designedexclusively for infants, or aconvertible restraint system used inthe rearward facing, reclining mode.

If placed facing forward, aninfant could be very seriously injuredduring a frontal collision.

Most child restraint systems areLATCH-compatible (Lower Anchorsand Tethers for CHildren). Somehave a rigid-type connector, whileothers have a flexible-type connector.Both are equally easy to use. Someexisting and previously owned childrestraint systems can only beinstalled using the seat belt.Whichever type you choose, followthe child restraint systemmanufacturer’s use and careinstructions as well as theinstructions in this manual. Properinstallation is key to maximizing yourchild’s safety.

In seating positions and vehicles notequipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible child restraint systemcan be installed using the seat beltand a top tether for added security.This is because all child restraintsystems are required to be designedso that they can be secured with alap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt.

In addition, the child restraintsystem manufacturer may advisethat a seat belt be used to attach aLATCH-compatible seat once a childreaches a specified weight. Pleaseread the child restraint systemowner’s manual for properinstallation instructions.

Make sure the child restraint systemmeets the following tworequirements:

Selecting a Child Restraint System


Important considerations whenselecting a child restraint system

44

12/04/18 14:34:28 42TF2C00_049

A child restraint system securedwith a seat belt should be installed asfirmly as possible. However, it doesnot need to be ‘‘rock solid.’’ Someside-to-side movement can beexpected and should not reduce thechild restraint system’s effectiveness.

Afterinstalling a child restraint system,push and pull the restraint systemforward and from side-to-side toverify that it is secure.

If the child restraint system is notsecure, try installing it in a differentseating position, or use a differentstyle of child restraint system thatcan be firmly secured.

After selecting a proper childrestraint system and a good place toinstall the restraint system, there arethree main steps in installing therestraint system:

Make sure thechild is properly strapped in thechild restraint system according tothe child restraint system maker’sinstructions. A child who is notproperly secured in a childrestraint system can be seriouslyinjured in a crash.

All childrestraint systems must be securedto the vehicle with the lap belt orthe lap part of a lap/shoulder beltor with the lower anchoragessystem. A child whose restraintsystem is not properly secured tothe vehicle can be endangered in acrash.

If you use a lap/shoulder belt, besure you install a locking clip on theseat belt (see page ).

The following pages provideguidelines on how to properly installa child restraint system. A frontfacing child restraint system is usedin all examples, but the instructionsare the same for a rearward facingchild restraint system.

Installing a Child RestraintSystem with a Lap Belt



12/04/18 14:35:32 42TF2C00_058

To install a locking clip, do thefollowing:

Place the child restraint in the seatwith a lap/shoulder belt. Route thelap/shoulder belt through therestraint according to the seatmanufacturer’s instructions.

Insert the latch plate into thebuckle. Pull on the shoulder partof the belt to make sure there isno slack in the lap portion.

Tightly grasp the belt near thelatch plate. Pinch both parts of thebelt together so they won’t slipthrough the latch plate. Unbucklethe seat belt.

Install the locking clip as shown.Position the clip as close aspossible to the latch plate.

Insert the latch plate into thebuckle. Push and pull on the childrestraint system to verify that it isheld firmly in place. If it is not,repeat these steps until therestraint is secure.

Always use a seat belt locking clipwhen you secure a child restraintsystem to your vehicle with a lap/shoulder belt. This helps prevent therestraint system from shiftingposition or overturning.

A locking clip is usually includedwith the child restraint system. Ifyou need a clip, contact the seat’smanufacturer or a store that sellschild restraints.

If it is necessary to put a front facingchild restraint system in the front,move the vehicle seat as far to therear as possible, be sure the childrestraint system is firmly secured tothe vehicle, and the child is properlystrapped in the restraint system (seepage ).

Children riding in vehicles should berestrained to minimize the risk ofinjury in the event of an accident.

A child restraint system with a tethercan be installed in either outerseating position in the back seat,using either of the anchor pointsshown in the illustration.

Since a tether can provide additionalsecurity to the lap/shoulder beltinstallation, we recommend using atether whenever one is required oravailable. (The owners may checkwith the child restraint systemmaker to determine whether a tetheris available for a particular childrestraint system.)

Set the head restraint to its lowestposition.

After properly securing the childrestraint system (see page ),open the anchor cover.

When a child reaches therecommended weight or height limitfor a front facing child restraintsystem, the child should sit in theback seat on a booster and wear alap/shoulder belt. The lap/shoulderbelt provides better protection thanthe lap belt.

The following pages giveinstructions on how to check properseat belt fit, what kind of boosterseat to use if one is needed, andimportant precautions for a childwho must sit in front.

Your vehicle has an automatic cutoffsystem for the passenger’s sideairbag if a child leans sideways andthe child’s head is in the deploymentpath of the side airbag. Even if withthis system, Honda does notencourage children to ride in thefront.

Protecting Larger Children


Allowing a child age 12 orunder to sit in front can resultin injury or death if thepassenger’s front airbaginflates.

If a child must ride in front,move the vehicle seat as farback as possible, use abooster seat if needed, havethe child sit up properly andwear the seat belt properly.

Make sure the seat-backs arelatched securely beforedriving.

12/04/18 14:36:04 42TF2C00_062

A child who has outgrown a frontfacing child restraint system shouldride in a back seat and use a boosterseat until the lap/shoulder belt fitsthem properly without the booster.

Does the shoulder belt crossbetween the child’s neck and arm?

Is the lap part of the belt as low aspossible, touching the child’sthighs?

Will the child be able to stayseated like this for the whole trip?

If you answer yes to all thesequestions, the child is ready to wearthe lap/shoulder belt correctly. Ifyou answer no to any question, thechild needs to ride on a booster seat.To determine if a lap/shoulder belt

properly fits a child, have the childput on the seat belt, then askyourself:

Does the child sit all the way backagainst the seat?

Do the child’s knees bendcomfortably over the edge of theseat?

It is recommended that all childrenage 12 and under be properlyrestrained in the back seat.

The back seat is the safest place fora child of any age or size.

If the passenger’s front airbaginflates in a moderate to severefrontal collision, the airbag can causeserious injuries to a child who isunrestrained, improperly restrained,sitting too close to the airbag, or outof position.

A side airbag also poses risks. If anypart of a larger child’s body is in thepath of a deploying side airbag, thechild could receive possibly seriousinjuries.

A back-rest may be available for aspecific booster seat. Install theback-rest to the booster seat andadjust it to the vehicle seat accordingto the booster seat maker’sinstructions. Make sure the seat beltis properly routed through the guideat the shoulder of the back-rest andthe belt does not touch and cross thechild’s neck (see page ).

Booster seats can be high-back orlow-back. Whichever style you select,make sure the booster seat meetsapproved safety standards (see page

) and that you follow the boosterseat maker’s instructions.

A child may continue using a boosterseat until the tops of their ears areeven with the top of the vehicle’s orbooster’s seat-back. A child of thisheight should be tall enough to usethe lap/shoulder belt without abooster seat.

If a child who uses a booster seatmust ride in front, move the vehicleseat as far back as possible and besure the child is wearing the seatbelt properly.

This could resultin serious neck injuries during acrash.

This couldcause very serious injuries duringa crash. It also increases thechance that the child will slideunder the belt in a crash and beinjured.


Devices intended toimprove a child’s comfort orreposition the shoulder part of aseat belt can make the belt lesseffective and increase the chanceof serious injury in a crash.

If you decide that a child can safelyride up front, be sure to:

Carefully read the owner’s manual,and make sure you understand allseat belt instructions and all safetyinformation.

Move the vehicle seat to the rear-most position.

Have the child sit up straight, backagainst the seat, and feet on ornear the floor.

Check that the child’s seat belt isproperly and securely positioned.

Remind the child not to leantoward the door.

Supervise the child. Even a maturechild sometimes needs to bereminded to fasten the seat belt orsit properly.

Of course, children vary widely. Andwhile age may be one indicator ofwhen a child can safely ride in front,there are other important factors youshould consider.

Physically, a child must be largeenough for the lap/shoulder belt toproperly fit (see pages and ). Ifthe seat belt does not fit properly,with or without the child sitting on abooster seat, the child should not sitin front.

To safely ride in front, a child mustbe able to follow the rules, includingsitting properly, and wearing the seatbelt properly throughout a ride.

Do not let a child wear a seat beltacross the neck.

Do not let a child put the shoulderpart of a seat belt behind the backor under the arm.

Two children should never use thesame seat belt.

Do not put any accessories on aseat belt.

Have the exhaust system inspectedfor leaks whenever:

The vehicle is raised for an oilchange.

High levels of carbon monoxide cancollect rapidly in enclosed areas,such as a garage. Do not run theengine with the garage door closed.Even with the door open, run theengine only long enough to move thevehicle out of the garage.

The vehicle was in a crash thatmay have damaged the underside.

You notice a change in the soundof the exhaust.

With the tailgate open, airflow canpull exhaust gas into your vehicle’sinterior and create a hazardouscondition. If you must drive with thetailgate open, open all the windows,and set the climate control system asshown below.

If you must sit in your parked vehiclewith the engine running, even in anunconfined area, adjust the climatecontrol system as follows:

Select the fresh air mode.Select the mode.Turn the fan on high speed.Set the temperature control to acomfortable setting.

You can also check the status of theIMA system function on the multi-information display (see page ).

If the IMA battery is too hot or toocold, the IMA system limits the IMAbattery’s output power to protect thebattery. This disables the IMA assistand Auto Idle Stop, even though thebattery level indicator on the multi-information display may show thatthe battery is well-charged (see page

). Therefore, if the motor assistis frequently used, the batterybecomes hot and starts to limit itsoutput power.

It takes a short time to normalize theIMA battery’s output powerdepending on the weather.

This gauge shows you the charge/discharge status of the IntegratedMotor Assist (IMA). When the IMAis assisting the engine, the pointerstays in the assist gauge (the rightside of the gauge). When the IMAbattery is being charged, the pointerstays in the charge gauge (the leftside of the gauge).

The IMA battery level indicatorshows you the state of charge of thebattery for the Integrated MotorAssist (IMA). This battery isrecharged and discharged by theIMA motor depending on the drivingconditions.

The position of the battery levelreading shows the state of charge ofthe IMA battery. When the batterylevel reading is high, the IMAbattery is well charged. There areseven positions (Level 0-Level 6) ofthe battery level reading.

The battery level reading may dropnear the bottom under drivingconditions that require IMA motorassistance for a long time, such asprolonged acceleration or climbing along hill.

The IMA motor will recharge thebattery as you continue driving.

This correction of the battery levelindicator is normal and does notindicate a problem. If the IMAbattery develops a problem ordeteriorates, the IMA systemindicator will come on. If thishappens, have the vehicle checkedby your dealer as soon as possible.

Since the level is not read directly,small sensing errors can, over time,cause the gauge to read higher thanthe actual battery level. The systemwill then perform a correction, andthe battery level gauge reading willdrop suddenly. When this happens,IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop aredisabled until the IMA battery issufficiently recharged by normaldriving.

The IMA battery is charged at ahigher rate when the transmission isin L (Low) mode (see page ).

If the battery is mostly discharged,the auto idle stop function is disabled(see page ).

The battery level gauge does notread the battery level directly. Itcalculates the level by continuouslymeasuring the current flow, voltage,and temperature.

±This indicator displays the outsidetemperature in degrees Celsius.

The sensor delays the display updateuntil it reaches the correct outsidetemperature. This may take severalminutes.

If the outside temperature isincorrectly displayed, you can adjustit by up to 3°C warmer or cooler(see page ).

The temperature must bestabilized before doing thisprocedure.

The temperature sensor is in thefront bumper. Therefore, thetemperature reading can be affectedby heat reflection from the roadsurface, engine heat, and theexhaust from surrounding traffic.This can cause an incorrecttemperature reading when yourspeed is under 30 km/h.

In certain weather conditions,temperature readings near freezingcould mean that ice is forming on theroad surface. You will also see acaution symbol ‘‘ ’’ with a ‘‘LOWOUTSIDE TEMPERATURE’’message on the multi-informationdisplay.

The code is on the radio codecard included in your owner’smanual kit. When it is enteredcorrectly, the radio will start playing.

If you make a mistake entering thecode, do not start over; complete thefive-digit sequence, then enter thecorrect code. You have ten tries toenter the correct code. If you areunsuccessful in ten attempts, youmust then leave the system on forone hour before trying again.

The system will retain your AM andFM presets even if power isdisconnected.

Your vehicle’s audio system willdisable itself if it is disconnectedfrom electrical power for any reason.To make it work again, you mustenter a specific five-digit code usingthe preset buttons. Because thereare hundreds of numbercombinations possible from the five-digits, making the system workwithout knowing the exact code isnearly impossible.

You should have received a card thatlists your audio system’s code andserial numbers. It is best to store thiscard in a safe place at home. Inaddition, you should write the audiosystem’s serial number in this owner’smanual.

If you lose the card, you must obtainthe code number from a dealer. Todo this, you will need the system’sserial number.

Your vehicle is designed to operateon unleaded petrol with 91 ResearchOctane Number (RON) or higher.

Petrol of the recommendedResearch Octane Number (RON)may not be available in some areas.In this case, petrol of a lower octanemay be used temporarily if it doesnot cause engine ‘‘knocking.’’ Thiswill result in decreased engineperformance.

Using petrol containing lead willdamage your vehicle’s emissionscontrols and engine. This contributesto air pollution.

Help assure your vehicle’s futurereliability and performance by payingextra attention to how you driveduring the first 1,000 km. Duringthis period:

You should also follow theserecommendations with anoverhauled or exchanged engine, orwhen the brakes are replaced.

Do not change the oil until thescheduled maintenance time.

Avoid hard braking for the first300 km.

All engines consume oil as part oftheir normal operation, therefore,the engine oil level must be checkedregularly, for example whenrefuelling. Always check the oilbefore a long journey.

While the auto idle stop function isactivated, the engine is stopped butthe ignition switch is in the ON (II)position. Do not open the bonnet asthe engine components are hot.

The amount of oil consumeddepends on how the vehicle is drivenand the climatic and road conditionsencountered. The rate of oilconsumption can be up to 1 litre per1,000 km. Consumption is likely to behigher when the engine is new.

Make sure the engine is warmed upand the vehicle is parked on levelground. Turn off the engine and waitapproximately 3 minutes beforechecking the oil level.

To close the bonnet, lift it up slightlyto remove the support rod from thehole. Put the support rod back intoits holding clip. Lower the bonnet toabout 30 cm above the fender, thenlet it drop. Make sure it is securelylatched.

Individual results willvary.

A total of two leaves can be put on each plant icon.

A total of four leaves can be added to each plant icon.

A circular shaped icon, which represents a blossom, can beadded on top of each plant icon with four leaves.

An icon appears once you have reached the maximum score foreach stage and are moving up to the next stage. These iconsappear briefly when the ignition switch it turned off.Once the 3rd stage maximum score is reached, the systemcontinues to monitor your driving. If you maintain a fuelefficient driving style, your score remains at the highest stage.If you drive less efficiently, points will be deducted and youmay drop (stage down) to the previous stage.

This indicator on the instrumentpanel shows which position the shiftlever is in.

The ‘‘D’’ indicator comes on for afew seconds when you turn theignition switch to the ON (II)position. If it flashes while driving (inany shift position), it indicates apossible problem in the transmission.

If the malfunction indicator lampcomes on along with the ‘‘D’’indicator, there is a problem with theautomatic transmission controlsystem. Avoid rapid acceleration, andhave the transmission checked byyour dealer as soon as possible.

When the ‘‘D’’ indicator warns of apossible problem with thetransmission, you will see the symbol‘‘ ,’’ or, the symbol with a‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’ message.

Never park over dry leaves, tallgrass, or other flammablematerials. The hot three waycatalytic converter could causethese materials to catch on fire.

If the vehicle is facing uphill, turnthe front wheels away from thecurb.

If the vehicle is facing downhill,turn the front wheels toward thecurb.

Make sure the parking brake isfully released before driving away.Driving with the parking brakepartially set can overheat ordamage the rear brakes.You will also see the symbol‘‘ ’’ with a ‘‘RELEASEPARKING BRAKE’’ message onthe multi-information display (seepage ).

Your vehicle is equipped with frontdisc brakes. The brakes on the rearwheels are drum. A power assisthelps reduce the effort needed onthe brake pedal. The emergencybrake assist system increases thestopping force when you depress thebrake pedal hard in an emergencysituation. The anti-lock brake system(ABS) helps you retain steeringcontrol when braking very hard.

Resting your foot on the pedal keepsthe brakes applied lightly, builds upheat, reduces their effectiveness andreduces brake pad life. In addition,fuel economy can be reduced. It alsokeeps your brake lights on all thetime, confusing drivers behind you.

Brake-Assist

With the shift lever in D or S, thisfeature applies brake pressurebriefly as you release the brakepedal to prevent the vehicle frommoving unexpectedly.

This feature helps you apply thebrakes with less force during anemergency braking situation.

If the brake pads need replacing, youwill hear a distinctive, metallicscreeching sound when you applythe brake pedal. If you do not havethe brake pads replaced, they willscreech all the time. It is normal forthe brakes to occasionally squeal orsqueak when you apply them.

The front disc brakes on all modelshave audible brake wear indicators.

Constant application of the brakeswhen going down a long hill buildsup heat and reduces theireffectiveness. Use the engine toassist the brakes by taking your footoff the accelerator and downshiftingto a lower gear.

Check the brakes after drivingthrough deep water. Apply thebrakes moderately to see if they feelnormal. If not, apply them gently andfrequently until they do. Be extracautious in your driving.

The hydraulic system that operatesthe brakes has two separate circuits.Each circuit works diagonally acrossthe vehicle (the left-front brake isconnected with the right-rear brake,etc.). If one circuit should develop aproblem, you will still have brakingat two wheels.

The anti-lock brake system (ABS)helps prevent the wheels fromlocking up, and helps you retainsteering control by pumping thebrakes rapidly, much faster than aperson can do it.

The electronic brake distribution(EBD) system, which is part of theABS, also balances the front-to-rearbraking distribution according tovehicle loading.

Let the ABS work for you by alwayskeeping firm, steady pressure on thebrake pedal. This is sometimesreferred to as ‘‘stomp and steer.’’

You will feel a pulsation in the brakepedal when the ABS activates, andyou may hear some noise. This isnormal: it is the ABS rapidlypumping the brakes. On dry roads,you will need to press on the brakepedal very hard before the ABSactivates. However, you may feel theABS activate immediately if you aretrying to stop on snow or ice.

If the ABS indicator comes on, theanti-lock function of the brakingsystem has shut down. The brakesstill work like a conventional system,but without anti-lock. You shouldhave your dealer inspect your vehicleas soon as possible.

If the ABS indicator comes on whiledriving, test the brakes as instructedon page .

If the ABS indicator and the brakesystem indicator come on together,and the parking brake is fullyreleased, the EBD system may alsobe shut down.

If this happens, you will also see thesymbols ‘‘ ’’ (for ABS system)and ‘‘ ’’ (for Brake system) with‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’ messages onthe multi-information display.

Test your brakes as instructed onpage . If the brakes feel normal,drive slowly and have your vehiclerepaired by your dealer as soon aspossible. Avoid sudden hard brakingwhich could cause the rear wheels tolock up and possibly lead to a loss ofcontrol.

－－ Being able to seeclearly in all directions and beingvisible to other drivers are importantin all weather conditions. This ismore difficult in bad weather. To beseen more clearly during daylighthours, turn on your headlights.

Inspect your windscreen wipers andwashers frequently. Keep the wind-screen washer reservoir full of theproper fluid. Have the windscreenwiper blades replaced if they start tostreak the windscreen or leave partsunwiped. Use the demister and airconditioning to keep the windowsfrom fogging up on the inside (seepage ).

Rain, fog, and snow conditions re-quire a different driving techniquebecause of reduced traction andvisibility. Keep your vehicle well-maintained and exercise greatercaution when you need to drive inbad weather.

Always driveslower than you would in dryweather. It takes your vehicle longerto react, even in conditions that mayseem just barely damp. Applysmooth, even pressure to all thecontrols. Abrupt steering wheelmovements or sudden, hard appli-cation of the brakes can cause loss ofcontrol in wet weather. Be extracautious for the first few kilometersof driving while you adjust to thechange in driving conditions. This isespecially true in snow. A person canforget some snow-driving techniquesduring the summer months. Practiceis needed to relearn those skills.

Exercise extra caution when drivingin rain after a long dry spell. Aftermonths of dry weather, the firstrains bring oil to the surface of theroadway, making it slippery.

－ Check your tyresfrequently for wear and properpressure. Both are important inpreventing ‘‘aquaplaning’’ (loss oftraction on a wet surface). In thewinter, mount snow tyres on all fourwheels for the best handling.

Watch road conditions carefully,they can change from moment tomoment. Wet leaves can be as slip-pery as ice. ‘‘Clear’’ roads can havepatches of ice. Driving conditionscan be very hazardous when theoutside temperature is near freezing.The road surface can becomecovered with areas of water puddlesmixed with areas of ice, so yourtraction can change without warning.

Be careful when downshifting. Iftraction is low, you can lock up thedrive wheels for a moment and causea skid.

Be very cautious when passing, orbeing passed by other vehicles. Thespray from large vehicles reducesyour visibility, and the wind buffetingcan cause you to lose control.

Your vehicle is not designed to tow atrailer. Attempting to do so can voidyour warranties.

The cooling system contains manyaluminium components that cancorrode if an improper antifreeze isused. Some antifreeze, even thoughlabelled as safe for aluminium parts,may not provide adequate protection.

If the reserve tank is completelyempty, you should also check thecoolant level in the radiator.

Make sure the engine and radiatorare cool.

Relieve any pressure in the coolingsystem by turning the radiator capanticlockwise, without pressingdown.

Remove the radiator cap bypushing down and turninganticlockwise.

The coolant level should be up tothe base of the filler neck. Addcoolant if it is low.

Pour the coolant slowly andcarefully so you do not spill any.Clean up any spills immediately; itcould damage components in theengine compartment.

Do not use engine antifreeze or avinegar/water solution in thewindscreen washer reservoir.Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’spaint, while a vinegar/water solutioncan damage the windscreen washerpump. Use only commercially-available windscreen washer fluid.

When you refill the reservoir, cleanthe edges of the windscreen wiperblades with windscreen washer fluidon a clean cloth. This will help tocondition them.

Fill the reservoir with a good-qualitywindscreen washer fluid. Thisincreases the cleaning capability andprevents freezing in cold weather.

Check the fluid level by removingthe cap and looking at the levelgauge.

Check the fluid level in thewindscreen washer reservoir at leastmonthly during normal use.

Pour coolant into the reserve tank.Fill it to halfway between the MAXand MIN marks. Put the cap backon the reserve tank.

Do not add any rust inhibitors orother additives to your vehicle’scooling system. They may not becompatible with the coolant orengine components.

Your vehicle’s air conditioning is asealed system. Any majormaintenance, such as recharging,should be done by a qualifiedtechnician. You can do a couple ofthings to make sure the airconditioning works efficiently.

Periodically check the engine’sradiator and air conditioningcondenser for leaves, insects, anddirt stuck to the front surface. Theseblock the air flow and reduce coolingefficiency. Use a light spray from ahose or a soft brush to remove them.

The condenser and radiator finsbend easily. Only use a low-pressurespray or soft-bristle brush to cleanthem.

Run the air conditioning at least oncea week during the cold weathermonths. Run it for at least 10minutes while you are driving at asteady speed with the engine atnormal operating temperature. Thiscirculates the lubricating oil con-tained in the refrigerant.

If the air conditioning does not get ascold as before, have your dealercheck the system. Recharge thesystem with Refrigerant HFC-134a(R-134a).

Whenever you have the airconditioning system serviced, makesure the service facility uses arefrigerant recycling system. Thissystem captures the refrigerant forreuse. Releasing refrigerant into theatmosphere can damage theenvironment.

To safely operate your vehicle, yourtyres must be the proper type andsize, in good condition with adequatetread, and correctly inflated.

The following pages give moredetailed information on how to takecare of your tyres and what to dowhen they need to be replaced.

Keeping the tyres properly inflatedprovides the best combination ofhandling, tread life, and ridingcomfort.

We recommend that you visuallycheck your tyres every day. If youthink a tyre might be low, check itimmediately with a tyre gauge.

Underinflated tyres wear unevenly,adversely affect handling and fueleconomy, and are more likely tofail from being overheated.

Overinflated tyres can make yourvehicle ride more harshly, aremore prone to damage from roadhazards, and wear unevenly.

Use a gauge to measure the airpressure in each tyre at least once amonth. Even tyres that are in goodcondition may lose 10 to 20 kPa (0.1to 0.2 kgf/cm , 1 to 2 psi) per month.

Remember to check the spare tyre(if equipped) at the same time.

Check the air pressure when thetyres are cold. This means thevehicle has been parked for at least 3hours, or driven less than 1.6 km.Add or release air, if needed, tomatch the recommended cold tyrepressures on the label on the driver’sdoorjamb.

If you check air pressure when thetyres are hot (driven for severalkilometers), you will see readings 30to 40 kPa (0.3 to 0.4 kgf/cm , 4 to 6psi) higher than the cold readings.This is normal. Do not let air out tomatch the recommended cold airpressure. The tyre will beunderinflated.

Inflation Guidelines

Tyres

Maintenance282

Using tyres that areexcessively worn orimproperly inflated can causea crash in which you can beseriously hurt or killed.

Follow all instructions in thisowner’s manual regardingtyre inflation andmaintenance.

12/04/18 15:05:58 42TF2C00_287

You should get your own tyrepressure gauge and use it wheneveryou check your tyre pressures. Thiswill make it easier for you to tell if apressure loss is due to a tyreproblem and not due to a variationbetween gauges.

While tubeless tyres have someability to self-seal if they arepunctured, you should look closelyfor punctures if a tyre starts losingpressure.

For convenience, the recommendedcold air pressures and tyre sizes areon a label on the driver’s doorjamb.

Every time you check inflation, youshould also examine the tyres fordamage, foreign objects, and wear.You should look for:

Bumps or bulges in the tread orside of the tyre. Replace the tyre ifyou find either of these conditions.

Cuts, splits, or cracks in the sideof the tyre. Replace the tyre if youcan see fabric or cord.

Excessive tread wear.Your tyres have wear indicatorsmoulded into the tread. When thetread wears down, you will see a 12.7mm wide band across the tread. Thisshows there is less than 1.6 mm oftread left on the tyre.

A tyre this worn gives very littletraction on wet roads. You shouldreplace the tyre if you can see threeor more tread wear indicators.

In addition to proper inflation,correct wheel alignment helps todecrease tyre wear. If you find a tyreis worn unevenly, have your dealercheck the wheel alignment.

Have your dealer check the tyres ifyou feel a consistent vibration whiledriving. A tyre should always berebalanced if it is removed from thewheel. When you have new tyresinstalled, make sure they arebalanced. This increases ridingcomfort and tyre life. For bestresults, have the installer perform adynamic balance.

If you purchase directional tyres,rotate only front-to-back.When the tyres are rotated, makesure the air pressures are checked.

Improper wheel weights can damageyour vehicle’s aluminium wheels.Use only genuine Honda wheelweights for balancing.

To help increase tyre life anddistribute wear more evenly, rotatethe tyres every 10,000 km. Move thetyres to the positions shown in theillustration each time they arerotated. The above illustration showshow the tyres should be rotated.

Replace your tyres with radial tyresof the same size, load range, speedrating, and maximum cold tyrepressure rating (as shown on thetyre’s sidewall).

Mixing radial and bias-ply tyres onyour vehicle can reduce brakingability, traction, and steeringaccuracy. Using tyres of a differentsize or construction can cause theABS to work inconsistently.

The ABS works by comparing thespeed of the wheels. When replacingtyres, use the same size originallysupplied with the vehicle. Tyre sizeand construction can affect wheelspeed and may cause the system towork.

It is best to replace all four tyres atthe same time. If that is not possibleor necessary, replace the two fronttyres or two rear tyres as a pair.Replacing just one tyre can seriouslyaffect your vehicle’s handling.

If you ever replace a wheel, makesure that the wheel’s specificationsmatch those of the original wheels.Consult your dealer before replacingtyres.

Replacement wheels are available atyour dealer.

Wheels: Because of the limited winterqualification of summer tyres forwinter use we recommend the use ofwinter tyres (M S tyres) on snowyand icy roads. If M S tyres areinstalled, all four wheels should beequipped to insure safe driving. Useonly tyres of the same brand withthe same profile. Pay attention to thetyre size, load capacity and speedclass when buying.

Tyres:

See the tyre information label on thedriver’s doorjamb or ask your dealerfor information on the proper size ofthe tyres on your vehicle.

Use snow chains only in anemergency or when they are legallyrequired for driving through acertain area. Install the snow chainson the front wheels. Use greatercaution when driving with snowchains on snow or ice. They mayhave less-predictable handling thangood winter tyres without chains.Some snow chains may damage thevehicle’s tyres, wheels, suspension,brake lines and body. Choose onlyfine limbed chains which guaranteeenough free space between the tyreand the other vehicle parts in thewheelhouse.

Frequent washing helps preserveyour vehicle’s beauty. Dirt and gritcan scratch the paint, while tree sapand bird droppings can permanentlyruin the finish.

Wash your vehicle in a shady area,not in direct sunlight. If the vehicle isparked in the sun, move it into theshade and let the exterior cool downbefore you start.

Only use the solvents and cleanersrecommended in this owner’smanual.

Chemical solvents and strongcleaners can damage the paint, metal,and plastic on your vehicle.

Check the body for road tar, treesap, etc. Remove these stains withtar remover or turpentine. Rinse itoff immediately so it does notharm the finish. Remember to re-wax these areas, even if the rest ofthe vehicle does not need waxing.

When you have washed and rinsedthe whole exterior, dry it with achamois or soft towel. Letting itair-dry will cause dulling and waterspots.

As you dry the vehicle, inspect it forchips and scratches that could allowcorrosion to start. Repair them withtouch-up paint (see page ).

Rinse the vehicle thoroughly withcool water to remove loose dirt.

Fill a bucket with cool water. Mixin a product made especially forcar washing.

Wash the vehicle using water anddetergent solution and a soft-bristle brush, sponge, or soft cloth.Start at the top and work your waydown. Rinse frequently.

You should use a quality liquid orpaste wax. Apply it according to theinstructions on the container. Ingeneral, there are two types ofproducts:

Waxes A wax coats the finish andprotects it from damage by exposureto sunlight, air pollution, etc. Youshould use a wax on your vehiclewhen it is new.

Polishes Polishes and cleaner/waxes can restore the shine to paintthat has oxidized and lost some of itsshine. They normally contain mildabrasives and solvents that removethe top layer of the finish. Youshould use a polish on your vehicle ifthe finish does not have its originalshine after using a wax.

Cleaning tar, insects, etc. withremovers also takes off the wax.Remember to re-wax those areas,even if the rest of the vehicle doesnot need waxing.

Clean your vehicle’s aluminium alloywheels as you do the rest of theexterior. Wash them with the samesolution, and rinse them thoroughly.

The wheels have a protectiveclearcoat that keeps the aluminiumfrom corroding and tarnishing. Usingharsh chemicals, including somecommercial wheel cleaners or stiffbrushes, can damage this clear-coat.Only use a mild detergent and softbrush or sponge to clean the wheels.

Two factors normally contribute tocausing corrosion in your vehicle:

Moisture trapped in body cavities.Dirt and road salt that collects inhollows on the underside of thevehicle stays damp, promotingcorrosion in that area.

Removal of paint and protectivecoatings from the exterior andunderside of the vehicle.

Many corrosion-preventive measuresare built into your vehicle. You canhelp keep your vehicle fromcorroding by performing somesimple periodic maintenance:

Repair chips and scratches in thepaint as soon as you discover them.

Inspect and clean out the drainholes in the bottom of the doorsand body.

Check the floor coverings fordampness. Carpeting and floormats may remain damp for a longtime, especially in winter. Thisdampness can eventually causethe floor panels to corrode.

Use a high-pressure spray to cleanthe underside of your vehicle. Thisis especially important in areasthat use road salt in winter. It isalso a good idea in humid climatesand areas subject to salty air. Becareful of the ABS wheel sensorsand wiring at each wheel.

If the high temperature indicatorstays on, turn off the engine.

If you do not see steam or spray,leave the engine running, andcheck the high temperatureindicator. If the high heat is due tooverloading, the engine shouldstart to cool down almostimmediately. If it does, wait untilthe high temperature indicatorgoes off, then continue driving.

If you see steam and/or spraycoming from under the bonnet,turn off the engine. Wait until yousee no more signs of steam orspray, then open the bonnet.

Driving with the high temperatureindicator on can cause seriousdamage to your engine.

If the vehicle overheats, you shouldtake immediate action. The onlyindication may be the hightemperature indicator blinking orremaining on. Or you may see steamor spray coming from under thebonnet.

Safely pull to the side of the road.Put the transmission in Park andset the parking brake. Turn off theclimate control system and allother accessories. Turn on thehazard warning lights.

You will also see the symbol ‘‘ ’’with an ‘‘ENGINE TEMP. HIGH’’message on the multi-informationdisplay.

Look for any obvious coolant leaks,such as a split radiator hose.Everything is still extremely hot,so use caution. If you find a leak, itmust be repaired before youcontinue driving (see

on page ).

Using gloves or a large heavycloth, turn the radiator capanticlockwise, without pushingdown, to the first stop. After thepressure releases, push down onthe cap, and turn it until it comesoff.

Put the radiator cap back ontightly. Run the engine, and checkthe high temperature indicator. Ifit begins to blink or comes onagain, the engine needs repair(see on page

).

If the temperature stays normal,check the coolant level in theradiator reserve tank. If it hasgone down, add coolant to theMAX mark. Put the cap back ontightly.Start the engine, and set the

temperature to maximum heat(climate control to AUTO at‘‘ ’’). Add coolant to theradiator up to the base of the fillerneck. If you do not have the

proper coolant mixture available,you can add plain water.Remember to have the coolingsystem drained and refilled withthe proper mixture as soon as youcan.

If you don’t find an obvious leak,check the coolant level in theradiator reserve tank (see page

). Add coolant if the level isbelow the MIN mark.

If there was no coolant in thereserve tank, you may need to addcoolant to the radiator. Let theengine cool down until the hightemperature indicator goes offbefore checking the radiator.

If the Engine Overheats


Removing the radiator capwhile the engine is hot cancause the coolant to sprayout, seriously scalding you.

Always let the engine andradiator cool down beforeremoving the radiator cap.

Safely pull off the road, and shutoff the engine. Turn on the hazardwarning lights.

Running the engine with low oilpressure can cause seriousmechanical damage almostimmediately. Turn off the engine assoon as you can safely get thevehicle stopped.

Let the vehicle sit for a minute.Open the bonnet, and check the oillevel (see page ). An enginevery low on oil can lose pressureduring cornering and other drivingmanoeuvres.

Start the engine, and watch the oilpressure indicator. If it does not goout within 10 seconds, turn off theengine. There is a mechanicalproblem that needs to be repairedbefore you can continue driving(see on page

).

This indicator should comeon when the ignition switch

is in the ON (II) position, and go outafter the engine starts. It shouldnever come on when the engine isrunning. If it starts flashing or stayson, the oil pressure has dropped verylow or lost pressure. Serious enginedamage is possible and you shouldtake immediate action.

If necessary, add oil to bring thelevel back to between the upperand lower mark on the dipstick.

You will also see the symbol ‘‘ ’’with an ‘‘OIL PRESSURE LOW’’message on the multi-informationdisplay.

The indicator notifies you of low oilpressure and does not measure theoil level. Check your vehicle’s oillevel at each refueling.

Immediately turn off all electricalaccessories. Try not to use otherelectrically operated controls such asthe power windows. Keep the enginerunning; starting the engine willdischarge the battery rapidly.

This indicator should comeon when the ignition switch

is in the ON (II) position, and go outafter the engine starts. If thecharging system indicator comes onbrightly when the engine is running,the battery is not being charged.

Go to a dealer or a service stationwhere you can get technicalassistance.

The charging system indicator mayalso come on if the Integrated MotorAssist (IMA) battery charge dropsbelow a desired level and the enginestarts to recharge the battery.

This indicator may blink after youstart the vehicle in the morningwhen the temperature is below

30°C. It will stop blinking whenthe IMA battery warms up.

This indicator comes on,then goes out when you

turn the ignition switch to the ON(II) position. If the indicator comeson while driving, it means one of theengine’s emissions control systemsmay have a problem. Even thoughyou may feel no difference in yourvehicle’s performance, it can reduceyour fuel economy and causeincreased emissions. Continuedoperation may cause serious damage.

If this indicator comes on, safely pulloff the road and turn off the engine.Restart the engine and watch theindicator. If it stays on, have yourvehicle checked by the dealer assoon as possible. Drive moderatelyuntil the dealer has inspected theproblem. Avoid full-throttleacceleration and driving at highspeed.

You should also have the dealerinspect your vehicle if the indicatorcomes on frequently, even though itgoes off when you follow the aboveprocedure.

If you keep driving with themalfunction indicator lamp on, youcan damage your vehicle’s emissionscontrols and engine. Those repairsmay not be covered by your vehicle’swarranties.

The malfunction indicator lamp mayalso come on with the ‘‘D’’ indicator.

If you turn the ignition switch to theON (II) position, without starting theengine, the malfunction indicatorlamp will come on for about 20seconds. It then goes off or blinks 5times under various conditions. Thisis normal: it shows the self-testingcondition of the diagnostics for theemissions control systems.

If the fluid level is low, take yourvehicle to a dealer, and have thebrake system inspected for leaks orworn brake pads.

The brake system indicator normallycomes on when you turn the ignitionswitch to the ON (II) position, and asa reminder to check the parkingbrake. It will stay on if you do notfully release the parking brake.

If the brake system indicator comeson while driving, the brake fluid levelis probably low. Press lightly on thebrake pedal to see if it feels normal.If it does, check the brake fluid levelthe next time you stop at a servicestation (see page ).

However, if the brake pedal does notfeel normal, you should takeimmediate action. A problem in onepart of the system’s dual circuitdesign will still give you braking attwo wheels. You will feel the brakepedal go down much farther beforethe vehicle begins to slow down, andyou will have to press harder on thepedal.You will also see the symbol ‘‘ ’’

Look for a blown wire inside thefuse. If it is blown, replace it withone of the spare fuses of the samerating or lower.

If you replace the blown fuse with aspare fuse that has a lower rating, itmight blow out again. This does notindicate that anything is wrong.Replace the fuse with one of thecorrect rating as soon as you can.

Check the smaller fuses in theinterior fuse box by pulling outeach one with the fuse pullerprovided in the interior fuse box.

If you cannot drive the vehiclewithout fixing the problem, and youdo not have a spare fuse, take a fuseof the same rating or a lower ratingfrom one of the other circuits. Makesure you can do without that circuittemporarily (such as the accessorypower socket).

Replacing a fuse with one that has ahigher rating greatly increases thechances of damaging the electricalsystem. If you do not have areplacement fuse with the properrating for the circuit, install one witha lower rating.

If the replacement fuse of thesame rating blows in a short time,there is probably a seriouselectrical problem with yourvehicle. Leave the blown fuse inthat circuit, and have your vehiclechecked by a qualified technician.

When the audio system is disabled,the clock setting in the audio systemis cancelled. You need to reset theclock according to the instructions inthe audio system section in thisowner’s manual.

The operatorloads your vehicle on the back of atruck.

If your vehicle needs to be towed,call a professional towing service ororganization. Never tow your vehiclewith just a rope or chain. It is verydangerous.

The towtruck uses two pivoting arms that gounder the front tyres and lift themoff the ground. The rear tyresremain on the ground.

If, due to damage, your vehicle mustbe towed with the front wheels onthe ground, do this:

The towtruck uses metal cables with hookson the ends. These hooks go aroundparts of the frame or suspension andthe cables lift that end of the vehicleoff the ground. Your vehicle’ssuspension and body can beseriously damaged.

There are three popular types ofprofessional towing equipment.

Improper towing preparation willdamage the transmission. Follow theabove procedure exactly. If youcannot shift the transmission or startthe engine, your vehicle must betransported with the front wheels offthe ground.

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle bythe bumpers will cause seriousdamage. The bumpers are notdesigned to support the vehicle’sweight.

Start the engine.

Release the parking brake.

Shift to the D position and hold for5 seconds, then to N.Turn off the engine.Leave the ignition switch in theACCESSORY (I) position so thesteering wheel does not lock.

With the front wheels on the ground,it is best to tow the vehicle no fartherthan 80 km, and keep the speedbelow 55 km/h.

If you decide to tow your vehiclewith all four wheels on the ground,make sure you use a properly-designed and attached tow bar.Prepare the vehicle for towing asdescribed above, and leave theignition switch in the ACCESSORY(I) position so the steering wheeldoes not lock. Make sure the radioand any electrical accessories areturned off so they do not run downthe battery.

The steering system can bedamaged if the steering wheel islocked. Leave the ignition switch inthe ACCESSORY (I) position, andmake sure the steering wheel turnsfreely before you begin towing.

Emergency Towing


12/04/18 15:11:33 42TF2C00_333

If your vehicle gets stuck in sand,mud, or snow, call a towing serviceto pull it out (see page ).

To use the towing hook:

Take the towing hook and theextension out of the tool kit in theluggage area.

Screw the towing hook into thebolt hole behind the bumper, thentighten the hook securely with theextension.

For very short distances, such asfreeing the vehicle, you can use thedetachable towing hook that mountson either anchor in the front or rearbumper.

To avoid damage to your vehicle, usethe towing hook for straight, flatground towing only. Do not tow at anangle. The tow hook should not beused to tow the vehicle onto a flatbed. Do not use it as a tie down.

Put a cloth on the edge of thecover to prevent scratches.Remove the cover from the frontbumper by using the flat-tip end ofthe extension.
