This section gives you important information about how to protect yourself and your passengers. It shows you how to use seat belts. It explains how your airbags work. And it tells you how to properly restrain infants and children in your vehicle. Important Safety Precautions .
You'll find many safety recommendations throughout this section, and throughout this manual. The recommendations on this page are the ones we consider to be the most important. Always Wear Your Seat Belt A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions.
Your vehicle is equipped with many features that work together to protect you and your passengers during a crash. Some features do not require any action on your part.
Seat Belts Your vehicle is equipped with seat belts in all seating positions. Your seat belt system also includes an indicator on the instrument panel and a beeper to remind you and your passengers to fasten your seat belts. Why Wear Seat Belts Seat belts are the single most effective safety device for adults and larger children.
Airbags Your vehicle has a supplemental restraint system (SRS) with front airbags to help protect the heads and chests of the driver and a front seat passenger during a moderate to severe frontal collision (see page 25 for more information on how your front airbags work).
The most important things you need to know about your airbags are: ● Airbags do not replace seat belts. They are designed to supplement the seat belts. ● Airbags offer no protection in rear impacts, or minor frontal or side collisions. ● Airbags can pose serious hazards.
Introduction The following pages provide instructions on how to properly protect the driver, adult passengers, and teenage children who are large enough and mature enough to drive or ride in the front. See pages 34 － 38 for important guidelines on how to properly protect infants, small children, and larger children who ride in your vehicle.
If you sit too close to the steering wheel or dashboard, you can be seriously injured by an inflating front airbag, or by striking the steering wheel or dashboard. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash. Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat. Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the occupant's chest reduces the protective capability of the belt.
5. Fasten and Position the Seat Belts Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the belt is securely latched. Check that the belt is not twisted, because a twisted belt can cause serious injuries in a crash.
The front seats have adjustable seat belt anchors. To adjust the height of an anchor, squeeze the two release buttons, and slide the anchor up or down as needed (it has four positions). Never place the shoulder portion of a lap/shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back.
In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an inflating front airbag. Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Additional Safety Precautions ● Never let passengers ride in the cargo area or on top of a folded- down back seat. If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash. ● Never let passengers ride in the area in front of a folded-up rear seat or on top of a folde d-down rear seat.
Seat Belt System Components Your seat belt system includes lap/ shoulder belts in all seating positions. The front seat belts are also equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners.
Lap/Shoulder Belt The lap/shoulder belt goes over your shoulder, across your chest, and across your hips. To fasten the belt, insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is latched (see page 14 for how to properly position the belt).
Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners For added protection, the front seat belts are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. When activated, the tensioners immediately tighten the belts to help hold the driver and a front passenger in position.
If a seat belt is worn during a crash, it must be replaced by your dealer. A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of protection in a subsequent crash. The dealer should also inspect the anchors for damage and replace them if needed.

Your airbag system includes: ● Two SRS (supplemental restraint system) front airbags. The driver's airbag is stored in the center of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is stored in the dashboard. Both are marked ‘‘ SRS AIRBAG ’’ (see page 25).
● Automatic front seat belt tensioners (see page 20). ● Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe front impact or side impact. ● Sensors that can detect whether a child is in the passenger's side airbag path and signal the control unit to turn the airbag off (see page 29).
How Your Front Airbags Work If you ever have a moderate to severe frontal collision, sensors will detect the vehicle's rapid deceleration. If the rate of deceleration is high enough, the control unit will inflate the driver's and front passenger's airbags, at the time and with the force needed.
After a crash, you may see what looks like smoke. This is actually powder from the airbag's surface. Although the powder is not harmful, people with respiratory problems may experience some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Advanced A irbags Your front airbags are also advanced airbags. The main purpose of this feature is to help prevent airbag- caused injuries to short drivers and children or small statued adults who ride in front. For both advanced airbags to work properly: ● Occupants must sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
When the passenger airbag gets turned off by the weight sensors, a ‘‘ passenger airbag off ’’ indicator in the center of the dashboard comes on (see page 31). If the weight sensors detect there is no passenger in the front seat, the airbag is automatically turned off.
Only one airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger. To get the best protection from the side airbags, front seat occupants should wear their seat belts and sit upright and well back in their seats.
How Your Side Curtain Airbags Work In a moderate to severe side impact, sensors will detect rapid acceleration and signal the control unit to instantly inflate the side curtain airbag and activate the seat belt tensioner on the driver's or the passenger's side of the vehicle.
If you see any of these indications, the airbags and seat belt tensioners may not work properly when you need them. Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Be aware that objects placed on the front seat can cause the indicator to come on. If the weight sensors detect there is no passenger in the front seat, the airbag will be off.
● If your vehicle has a moderate to severe impa ct. Even if your airbags do not inflate, your dealer should inspect the driver's seat position sensor, the front passenger's weight sensors, the front seat belt tensioners, and all seat belts worn during a crash to make sure they are operating properly.
Children depend on adults to protect them. However, despite their best intentions, many adults do not know how to properly protect child passengers. If you have children, or ever need to drive with a child in your vehicle, be sure to read this section.
All Children Should Sit in a Back Seat According to accident statistics, children of all ages and sizes are safer when they are restrained in a back seat. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children aged 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat.
To remind you of the passenger's front airbag hazards, and that children must be properly restrained in a back seat, your vehicle has warning labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the front visors. Please read and follow the instructions on these labels.
If You Must Drive with Several Children Your vehicle has a back seat where children can be properly restrained. If you ever have to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front: ● Place the largest child in the front seat, provided the child is large enough to wear the lap/shoulder belt properly (see page 49).
Additional Safety Precautions ● Never hold an infant or child on your lap. If you are not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could be thrown forward and crush the child against the dashboard or a seat-back. If you are wearing a seat belt, the child can be torn from your arms and be seriously hurt or killed.
Protecting Infants Child Seat Type An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the child reaches the seat maker's weight or height limit for the seat, and the child is at least one year old. Only a rear-facing child seat provides proper support for a baby's head, neck, and back.
In any of these situations, we strongly recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front passenger's seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
Even with advanced front airbags that automatically turn the passenger's front airbag off (see page 31), a back seat is the safest place for a small child.
After selecting a proper child seat and a good place to install the seat, there are three main steps in installing the seat: 1. Properly secure the child seat to the vehicle. All child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt or with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system.
Installing a Child Seat with LATCH Your vehicle is equipped with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) at the outer rear seats. The lower anchors are located between the seat-back and seat bottom, and are to be used only with a child seat designed for use with LATCH.
Other LATCH-compatible seats have a flexible-type connector as shown above. 4. Whatever type you have, follow the child seat maker's instructions for adjusting or tightening the fit.
Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/ Shoulder Belt When not using the LATCH system, all child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/ shoulder belt. In addition, the lap/shoulder belts in all seating positions except the driver's have a lockable retractor that must be activated to secure a child seat.
4. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt.
Installing a Child Seat with a Tether A child seat with a tether can be installed in any seating position in the back seat. Each rear outside seating position has an anchorage point on the seat- back, and the center seating position has an anchorage point in the ceiling near the tailgate.
Using the Center Anchor 1. Lower the head restraint to its lowest position. 2. After properly securing the child seat (see page 45), open the anchor cover. 3. Route the tether strap over the head restraint, then attach the tether strap hook to the anchor, making sure the tether strap is not twisted.
When a child reaches the recommended weight or height limit for a forward-facing child seat, the child should sit in a back seat on a booster seat and wear the lap/ shoulder belt.
3. Does the shoulder belt cross between the child's neck and arm? 4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child's thighs? 5. Will the child be able to stay seated like this for the whole trip? If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder belt correctly.
If a child who uses a booster seat must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible and be sure the child is wearing the seat belt properly. A child may continue using a booster seat until the tops of their ears are even with the top of the vehicle's or booster's seat-back.
If you decide that a child can safely ride up front, be sure to: ● Carefully read the owner's manual, and make sure you understand all seat belt instructions and all safety information. ● Move the vehicle seat to the rear- most position. ● Have the child sit up straight, back against the seat, and feet on or near the floor.
Your vehicle's exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide should not enter the vehicle in normal driving if you maintain your vehicle properly and follow the information on this page. Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever: ● The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
These labels are in the locations shown. They warn you of potential hazards that could cause serious injury or death. Read these labels carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read (except for the U.S. dashboard label which may be removed by the owner), contact your dealer for a replacement.

Actual Mileage and EPA Fuel Economy Estimates Comparison. Fuel economy is not a fixed number. It varies based on driving conditions, driving habits and vehicle condition. Therefore, it is not possible for one set of estimates to predict fuel economy precisely for all drivers in all environments.
Fuel Economy Factors The following factors can lower your vehicle's fuel economy: ● Aggressive driving (hard acceleration and braking) ● Excessive idling, accelerating and braking in stop-and.
● Avoid excessive idling － Idling results in 0 miles per gallon. ● Minimize the use of the air conditioning system － The A/C puts an extra load on the engine which makes it use more fuel. Use the fresh-air ventilation when possible. ● Plan and combine trips － Combine several short trips into one.
Modifying your vehicle, or installing some non-Honda accessories, can make it unsafe. Before you make any modifications or add any accessories, be sure to read the following information. Accessories Your dealer has Honda accessories that allow you to personalize your vehicle.
Modifying Your Vehicle Removing parts from your vehicle, or replacing components with non- Honda components could seriously affect your vehicle's handling, stability, and reliability.
Your vehicle has several convenient storage areas: ● Upper glove box ● Lower glove box ● Front door pockets ● Seat-back pocket (if equipped) ● Center pocket ● Cargo area side pocket ● Cargo area, including the rear seats when folded up or down.
Load Limits (Payload) The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (385 kg). See Tire And Loading Information label attached to the driver's doorjamb. Label Example This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the ‘‘ XXX ’’ amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
Carrying Cargo in the Passenger Compartment ● Store or secure all items that could be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash. ● Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cann.
Cargo Hooks The two or four hooks on the floor can be used to install a net for securing items. Your vehicle also has cargo hooks on side panel in the cargo area. They are designed to hold light items. Heavy objects may damage the hook. Make sure any items put on each hook weigh less than 2.
This section gives you tips on starting the engine under various conditions, and how to operate the manual and automatic transmissions. It also includes important information on parking your vehicle, the braking system, the vehicle stability assist (VSA ® ), and the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
On Sport model Your vehicle is designed to give you optimum handling and performance on well-maintained roads. As part of this design, your vehicle has minimum ground clearance. ● Use caution if you ever drive your vehicle on very rough or rutted roads.
You should do the following checks and adjustments before you drive your vehicle. 1. Make sure all windows, mirrors, and outside lights are clean and unobstructed. Remove frost, snow, or ice. 2. Check that the hood is fully closed. 3. Visually check the tires.
1. Apply the parking brake. 2. In cold weather, turn off all electrical accessories to reduce the drain on the battery. 3. Manual trans mission: Press the clutch pedal down all the way. The START (III) position does not function unless the clutch pedal is pressed.
The manual transmission is synchronized in all forward gears for smooth operation. It has a lockout so you cannot shift directly from fifth to reverse. When shifting up or down, make sure you push the clutch pedal down all the way, shift to the next gear, and let the pedal up gradually.
Recommended Shift Points Drive in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate smoothly. This will give you good fuel economy and effective emissions control.
Shift Lever Position Indicators These indicators on the instrument panel show which position the shift lever is in. The ‘‘ D ’’ indicator comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. If it flashes while driving (in any shift position), it indicates a possible problem in the transmission.
All models except U.S. Spor t To shift from: Do this: Pt oR Press the brake pedal, and press the shift lever release button. Rt oP Nt oR D 3 to 2 2t o1 Press the shift lever release button. 1t o2 2t oD 3 D 3 to D Dt oN Dt oD 3 Nt oD Rt oN Move the shift lever.
Reverse (R) － Press the brake pedal and press the release button on the front of the shift lever to shift from Park to reverse. To shift from reverse to neutral, come to a complete stop, and then shift. Press the release button before shifting into reverse from neutral.
All models except U.S. Spor t First (1) － To shift from second to first, press the release button on the front of the shift lever. This position locks the transmission in first gear. By upshifting and downshifting through 1, 2, D 3 , and D, you can operate the transmission much like a manual transmission without a clutch pedal.
Shift Lock Release This allows you to move the shift lever out of Park if the normal method of pushing on the brake pedal and pressing the release button does not work. 1. Set the parking brake. 2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Put a cloth on the notch of the shift lock release slot cover to prevent scratches.
Using the Paddle Shifters in D position (D-Paddle Shift Mode) U.S. models only When you are driving in D position, you can shift the transmission up or down manually with the paddle shifters. To shift up or down, use the ＋ (right) or － (left) paddle shifter on each side of the steering wheel.
Downshifting with the paddle shifter allows you to increase the engine braking when going down steep or long hills, and provides more power when climbing uphills. You can upshift the transmission manually to reduce the rpm. Driving in the higher gear helps fuel economy.
When you pull and hold the ＋ (right) paddle shifter, the transmission automatically returns to drive mode (D). If there is a problem in the transmission while you are driving with the paddle shifters, the D indicator flashes, the D-paddle shift mode is canceled, and the transmission returns to drive mode (D).
When you accelerate from a stop, the transmission starts in first gear, and you must manually upshift between first and fifth gears. Make sure you upshift before the engine speed reaches the tachometer's red zone. The transmission remains in the selected gear (5, 4, 3, 2, or 1).
If the vehicle speed decreases below the redline of the selected lower gear while the indicator is flashing, the transmission downshifts, and the indicator displays the selected gear. ● You upshift before the engine speed reaches the lowest threshold of the higher gear.
Always use the parking brake when you park your vehicle. Make sure the parking brake is set firmly, or your vehicle may roll if it is parked on an incline. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, set the parking brake before you put the transmission in Park.
Your vehicle is equipped with front disc brakes. The brakes on the rear wheels are drum. A power assist helps reduce the effort needed on the brake pedal.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps prevent the wheels from locking up, and helps you retain steering control by pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than a person can do it. The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.
If the ABS indicator and the brake system indicator come on together, and the parking brake is fully released, the EBD system may also be shut down. Test your brakes as instructed on page 305. If the brakes feel normal, drive slowly and have your vehicle repaired by your dealer as soon as possible.
If equipped The vehicle stability assist (VSA) system helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than desired. It also assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces. It does this by regulating the engine's output and by selectively applying the brakes.
VSA OFF Switch This switch is under the driver's side beverage holder. To turn the VSA system on and off, press and hold it until you hear a beep. When VSA is off, the VSA off indicator comes on as a reminder. Press and hold the switch again. It turns the system back on.
U.S. models only Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that turns on every time you start the engine and monitors the pressure in your tires while driving. Each tire has its own pressure sensor (not including the spare tire).
For example, if you check and fill your tires in a warm area, then drive in extremely cold weather, the tire pressure will be lower than measured and could be underinflated and cause the low tire pressure indicator to come on.
Changing a Tire with TPMS If you have a flat tire, the low tire pressure indicator will come on. Replace the flat tire with the compact spare tire (see page 284). Each wheel (except the compact spare tire wheel) is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind the valve stem.
Towing a Trailer Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can void your warranties. Towing Your Vehicle Behind a Motorhome Your vehicle can be towed behind a motorhome at legal highway speeds up to 65 mph (100 km/h). Do not exceed 65 mph (100 km/h).
5. Release the parking brake. Manual trans mission: 1. Move the shift lever into the Neutral position. 2. Release the parking brake. Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position so the steering wheel does not lock.
When towing your vehicle for long periods, remove the 30A Radio fuse to reduce drain on battery. This fuse is located in the interior fuse box and shown as number 61 below. Only remove the fuse after you have performed the transmission shifting procedure, and the key is in the ACCESSORY (I) position.
Automatic trans mission If you tow a Fit behind a motorhome, the transmission fluid must be changed every 2 years or 30,000 miles (48,000 km), whichever comes first.

Unscrew and remove the engine oil fill cap on the valve cover. Pour in the oil slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills immediately. Spilled oil could damage components in the engine compartment. Reinstall the engine oil fill cap, and tighten it securely.
Synthetic Oil You may use a synthetic motor oil if it meets the same requirements given for a conventional motor oil, it displays the API Certification Seal, and it is the proper weight. You must follow the oil and filter change intervals shown on the information display.
3. Remove the oil filter, and let the remaining oil drain. A special wrench (available from your dealer) is required. Make sure the oil filter gasket is not stuck to the engine block. If it is, remove it before installing a new oil filter. 4. Install a new oil filter according to the instructions that come with it.
Adding Engine Coolant If the coolant level in the reserve tank is at or below the MIN line, add coolant to bring it up to the MAX line. Inspect the cooling system for leaks. Always use Honda Long-life Anti- freeze/Coolant Type 2. This coolant is pre-mixed with 50 percent antifreeze and 50 percent water.
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool. 2. Relieve any pressure in the cooling system by turning the radiator cap counterclockwise, without pressing down. 3. Remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning counterclockwise. 4. The coolant level should be up to the base of the filler neck.
Check the fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir at least monthly during normal use. This reservoir supplies the windshield and rear window washers. On U.S. models: To check the windshield washer fluid level, open the hood and look for the windshield washer reservoir located behind the right headlight.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Check the fluid level with the engine at normal operating temperature. 1. Park the vehicle on level ground. Start the engine, let it run until the radiator fan comes on, then shut off the engine. For accurate results, wait about 60 seconds (but no longer than 90 seconds) before doing step 2.
Use only Honda Genuine ATF-Z1 (automatic transmission fluid). Do not mix with other transmission fluids. Using transmission fluid other than Honda Genuine ATF-Z1 may cause deterioration in transmission operation and durability, and could result in damage to the transmission.
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoirs monthly. There are up to two reservoirs, depending on the model. They are: ● Brake fluid reservoir (all models) ● Clutch fluid reservoir (manual transmission models only) Replace the brake fluid according to the time recommendation in the maintenance minder schedule.
Clutch Fluid Manual Tra nsmission only The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir. If it is not, add brake fluid to bring it up to that level. Use the same fluid specified for the brake system. A low fluid level can indicate a leak in the clutch system.
4. Unclip the end of the hold-down wire from its slot. Pivot the wire out of the way, then remove the bulb. 5. Install the new bulb into the hole, making sure the tabs are in their slots. Pivot the hold-down wire back in place, and clip the end into the slot.
5. Turn on the lights to make sure the new bulb is working. Replacing a Front Turn Signal Light Bulb 1. Open the hood. 2. Remove the socket by turning it one-quarter turn counterclockwise. 3. Remove the bulb from the socket by pushi ng the bulb in and turning it counterclockwise until it unlocks.
Replacing a Fog Light Bulb On Sport model The fog lights use halogen bulbs. When replacing a bulb, handle it carefully. See page 262 for more information. 1. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw. 2. To remove the fog light assembly, pull it out of the bumper.
Replacing Rear Bulbs 1. Open the tailgate. Place a cloth on the edge of the light assembly cover to prevent scratches. Remove the cover by carefully prying in the notch on its middle edge with a flat-tip screwdriver. 2. Determine which of the three bulbs is burned out: stop/taillight, back-up light, or turn signal light.
Cleaning the Seat Belts If your seat belts get dirty, use a soft brush with a mixture of mild soap and warm water to clean them. Do not use bleach, dye, or cleaning solvents. Let the belts air-dry before you use the vehicle. Dirt build-up in the loops of the seat belt anchors can cause the belts to retract slowly.
If you remove the driver's floor mat, make sure to re-anchor it when you put it back in your vehicle. If you use a non-Honda floor mats, make sure they fit properly and that they can be anchored securely. Do not put additional floor mats on top of the anchored mat.
Check the condition of the wiper blades at least every six months. Replace them if you find signs of cracking in the rubber, areas that are getting hard, or if they leave streaks and unwiped areas when used. To replace a front wiper blade: 1. Raise the wiper arm off the windshield.
● Pivot the blade assembly toward the wiper arm until it releases from the wiper arm. When replacing a wiper blade, make sure not to drop the wiper blade or wiper arm down on the windshield. 3. Remove the blade from its holder by grabbing the tabbed end of the blade.
5. Place the top of the wiper blade on the end of the blade assembly, and slide the blade onto the assembly. Make sure the blade is completely installed. 6. Slide the wiper blade assembly onto the wiper arm. Push down the lock tab. Make sure the wiper blade assembly locks in place.
3. Slide the blade out of the holder. 4. Examine the new wiper blades. If they have no plastic or metal reinforcement along the back edge, remove the metal reinforcement strips from the old wiper blade, and install them in the slots along the edge of the new blade.
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated. The following pages give more detailed information on how to take care of your tires and what to do when they need to be replaced.
If you check air pressures when the tires are hot [driven for several miles (kilometers)], you will see readings 4 to 6 psi (30 to 40 kPa, 0.3 to 0.4 kgf/cm 2 ) higher than the cold readings. This is normal. Do not let air out to match the recommended cold air pressure.
Tire Inspection Every time you check inflation, you should also examine the tires for damage, foreign objects, and wear. You should look for: ● Bumps or bulges in the tread or side of the tire. Replace the tire if you find either of these conditions.
Tire Maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, have your dealer check the wheel alignment. Have your dealer check the tires if you feel a consistent vibration while driving.
It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that is not possible or necessary, replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle's handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel's specifications match those of the original wheels.
Winter Driving Tires marked ‘‘ M ＋ S ’’ or ‘‘ All Season ’’ on the sidewall have an all- weather tread design suitable for most winter driving conditions. For the best performance in snowy or icy conditions, you should install snow tires or tire chains.
Wheels Clean the wheels as you would the rest of the exterior. Wash them with the same solution, and rinse them thoroughly. If equipped Aluminum alloy wheels have a protective clear-coat that keeps the aluminum from corroding and tarnishing.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling. If you need to connect the battery to a charger, disconnect both cables to prevent damaging your vehicle's electrical system.
If you need to park your vehicle for an extended period (more than 1 month), there are several things you should do to prepare it for storage. Proper preparation helps prevent deterioration and makes it easier to get your vehicle back on the road. If possible, store your vehicle indoors.

This section covers the more common problems that motorists experience with their vehicles. It gives you information about how to safely evaluate the problem and what to do to correct it. If the problem has stranded you on the side of the road, you may be able to get going again.
Except all Canadian models with automatic trans mission Use the compact spare tire as a temporary replacement only. Get your regular tire repaired or replaced, and put it back on your vehicle as soon as you can. Check the inflation pressure of the compact spare tire every time you check the other tires.
Except all Canadian models with automatic trans mission If you have a flat tire while driving, stop in a safe place to change it. Drive slowly along the shoulder until you get to an exit or an area to stop that is far away from the traffic lanes. The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.
6. Take the jack out of the cargo area. Turn the jack's end bracket counterclockwise to loosen it, then remove the jack by lifting it straight up.
10. Place the jack under the jacking point nearest the tire you need to change. It is pointed to by a △ mark molded into the underside of the body (Sport model). Turn the end bracket clockwise until the top of the jack contacts the jacking point. Make sure the jacking point tab is resting in the jack notch.
14. Put on the spare tire. Put the wheel nuts back on finger-tight, then tighten them in a crisscross pattern with the wheel nut wrench until the wheel is firmly against the hub. Do not try to tighten the wheel nuts fully. 15. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and remove the jack.
21. Place the flat tire face down in the spare tire well. 22. Secure the flat tire by screwing the wing bolt back into its hole. 23. Store the jack. Place the tool kit in the center of the flat tire. Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and could seriously injure the occupants.
Installing a wheel cover All models except Sport and Canad ian LX model with manual transmis sion 1. Make sure the wire support ring is hooked into the clips around the edge of the wheel cover. 2. Align the valve mark on the wheel cover to the tire valve on the wheel, then install the wheel cover.
How to Use the Tire Repair Kit All Canadian models with automatic transmission To reduce weight, your vehicle is equipped with a tire repair kit instead of a spare tire. This kit will allow you to temporarily repair a flat tire under the following conditions: ● Only one tire is flat.
2. Open the tailgate. 3. Raise the cargo area floor lid by lifting it up with the back of the strap. Remove the tire repair kit. Your tire repair kit contains: ● An air pump with a power cord and an air hose attached. ● A bottle of sealant with a filler hose attached.
If the date has not expired, shake the bottle thoroughly and proceed to step 5. 5. Screw the sealant filler hose onto the tire valve. Make sure the bottle remains upright to ensure all of the sealant flows into the tire. 6. Unscrew the bottle cap from the bottle adapter.
In freezing temperatures, turn the engine on and leave it running while the flat tire is being serviced. Prolonged exposure to the cold may cause the vehicle's battery to weaken. Under cold conditions, safely start the vehicle's engine and keep the engine running at idle when operating the air pump.
14. Push the deflate button on the air pump until the air pressure gauge shows 0 psi. 15. Remove the wheel label from the repair kit, wipe any dirt off the wheel with a clean cloth, and attach the label to the center of the wheel. The label may adhere poorly when cold.
19. Drive carefully within the speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) for 5 minutes. 20. Stop safely and check the pressure in the tire. Remove the tire valve cap, screw the air pump hose onto the tire valve, and check the air gauge. (You do not need to attach the power cord or turn the air pump switch on.
If the pressure is lower than 32 psi (220 kPa) and higher than 19 psi (130 kPa), use the air pump to bring air to the desired level as described in step 11. Then drive to the nearest service station at no more than 50 mph (80 km/h). If the pressure is below 19 psi, do not continue.
● Turn the ignition switch to the START (III) position. If the headlights do not dim, check the condition of the fuses. If the fuses are OK, there is probably something wrong with the electrical circuit for the ignition switch or starter motor. You will need a qualified technician to determine the problem.
Although this seems like a simple procedure, you should take several precautions. A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby. Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
3. Remove the cover from the under- hood fuse box (see page 306). Connect one jumper cable to the positive ( ＋ ) terminal on your battery. Connect the other end to the positive ( ＋ ) terminal on the booster battery. 4. Connect the second jumper cable to the negative ( － ) terminal on the booster battery.
The high temperature indicator should be off under most conditions. If the engine coolant temperature gets higher than normal, the indicator will blink. If it stays on, you should determine the reason (hot day, driving up a steep hill, etc.). If the vehicle overheats, you should take immediate action.
5. 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, it must be repaired before you continue driving (see Emergency Towing on page 311). 6. If you don't find an obvious leak, check the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank.
Low Oil Pressure Indicator This indicator should never come on when the engine is running. If it starts flashing or stays on, the oil pressure has dropped very low or lost pressure. Serious engine damage is possible, and you should take immediate action.
If this indicator comes on while driving, it means one of the engine's emissions control systems may have a problem. Even though you may feel no difference in your vehicle's performance, it can reduce your fuel economy and cause increased emissions.
U.S. Canada Brake System Indicator (Red) The brake system indicator (red) normally comes on when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, and as a reminder to check the parking brake. It will stay on if you do not fully release the parking brake.
The vehicle's fuses are contained in two fuse boxes. The interior fuse box is behind the fuse lid. To access it, pull the fuse lid toward you. The under-hood fuse box is on the positive terminal of the battery.
Checking and Replacing Fuses If something electrical in your vehicle stops working, check for a blown fuse first. Determine from the chart on pages 309 and 310, or the diagram on the fuse label, which fuse or fuses control that device. Check those fuses first, but check all the fuses before deciding that a blown fuse is the cause.
5. Look for a blown wire inside the fuse. If it is blown, replace it with one of the spare fuses of the same rating or lower. If you cannot drive the vehicle without fixing the problem, and you do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the same rating or a lower rating from one of the other circuits.

If your vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service or organization. Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous. There are two ways to tow your vehicle: Flat-bed Equipment － The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight. The steering system can be damaged if the steering wheel is locked. Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position, and make sure the steering wheel turns freely before you begin towing.
3. Screw the towing hook into the bolt hole behind the bumper, then tighten the hook securely with the extension. To avoid damage to your vehicle, use the towing hook for straight, flat ground towing only. Do not tow at an angle. The tow hook should not be used to tow the vehicle onto a flat bed.

The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety Requirements. All tires are also graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according to Department of Transportation (DOT) standards.
Temperature The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you should be aware of are described below. Tire Size Whenever tires are replaced, they should be replaced with tires of the same size. Below is an example of tire size with an explanation of what each component means.
Glossary of Tire Terminology Cold Tire Pressure - The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6km). Load Rating - Means the maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given inflation presure.
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.
The burning of gasoline in your vehicle's engine produces several byproducts. Some of these are carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons (HC). Gasoline evaporating from the tank also produces hydrocarbons. Controlling the production of NOx, CO, and HC is important to the environment.
Exhaust Emissions Controls The exhaust emissions controls include four systems: PGM-FI, ignition timing control, exhaust gas recirculation, and three way catalytic converter. These four systems work together to control the engine's combustion and minimize the amount of HC, CO, and NOx that come out the tailpipe.
The three way catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals. The catalytic converter is referred to as a three-way catalyst, since it acts on HC, CO, and NOx.
Testing of Readiness Codes If you take your vehicle for an emissions test shortly after the battery has been disconnected or gone dead, it may not pass the test. This is because of certain ‘‘ readiness codes ’’ that must be set in the on- board diagnostics for the emissions systems.
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 D (automatic) or 5th (manual). Do not use the cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without moving the accelerator pedal.
