０７／０７／０３ ２０：４２：００ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００１１ 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. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them.

０７／０７／０３ ２０：４２：１８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００１３ Your Vehicle’s Safety Features 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. (Infants and smaller children must be properly restrained in child seats.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４２：２６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００１４ Your Vehicle’s Safety Features Airbags Driver and Passenger Safety 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 24 for more information on how your front airbags work).
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４２：３２ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００１５ Your Vehicle’s Safety Features 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. To do their job, airbags must inflate with tremendous force.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４２：４３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００１６ Protecting Adults and Teens 2.Adjust the Front Seats Your vehicle has a door-open indicator on the instrument panel to indicate when any door is not tightly closed. See pages 33 − 37 for important guidelines on how to properly protect infants, small children, and larger children who ride in your vehicle.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４２：５１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００１７ Protecting Adults and Teens 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.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４２：５９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００１８ Protecting Adults and Teens 4.Adjust the Head Restraints Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and you can be seriously injured 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.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４３：０５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００１９ Protecting Adults and Teens over the strongest bones in your upper body. 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. Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death in a crash. Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４３：１４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２０ Protecting Adults and Teens Never place the shoulder portion of a lap/shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. This could cause If a seat belt does not seem to work properly, it may not protect the occupant in a crash. No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt. Using a seat If the seat belt touches or crosses your neck, or if it crosses your arm instead of your shoulder, you need to adjust the seat belt anchor height.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４３：２１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２１ Protecting Adults and Teens 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. Advice for Pregnant Women This will reduce the risk of injuries to both you and your unborn child that can be caused by a crash or an inflating front airbag.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４３：２７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２２ Protecting Adults and Teens Additional Safety Precautions Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they Do not put any accessories on seat belts. Devices intended to improve occupant comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability of the belt and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash. Do not attach hard objects on or near a door.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４３：３７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２３ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Seat Belt System Components Your seat belt system includes lap/ shoulder belts in all five seating positions. The front seat belts are also equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. This system uses the same sensors as the front airbags to monitor whether the front seat belts are latched or unlatched, and how much weight is on the front passenger’s seat (see pages 26 and 27 ).
０７／１０／２６ １４：２６：０３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２４ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts 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). To unlock the belt, press the red PRESS button on the buckle. Guide the belt across your body so that it retracts completely. After exiting the vehicle, be sure the belt is out of the way and will not get closed in the door.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４３：５５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２５ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts If a side curtain airbag deploys during a side impact, the tensioner on that side of the vehicle will also deploy. The tensioners can also be activated during a collision in which the front airbags do not deploy. In this case, the airbags would not be needed, but the additional restraint could be helpful. When the tensioners are activated, the seat belts will remain tight until they are unbuckled.

０７／０７／０３ ２０：４４：０６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２７ Additional Information About Your Airbags 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 24 ). (16) Two side airbags, one for the driver and one for a front passenger. The airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seatbacks.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４４：１５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２８ Additional Information About Your Airbags Automatic front seat belt tensioners (see page 19 ). 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 28 ). Sensors that can detect whether the driver’s seat belt and the front passenger’s seat belt are latched or unlatched (see page 18 ). A driver’s seat position sensor that monitors the distance of the seat from the front airbag.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４４：２３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００２９ Additional Information About Your Airbags How Your Front Airbags Work During a frontal crash, your seat belt restrains your lower body and torso, and the front airbag helps protect your head and chest. Although both airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy. If you ever have a moderate to severe frontal collision, sensors will detect the vehicle’s rapid deceleration.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４４：３１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３０ Additional Information About Your Airbags Dual-Stage Airbags Dual-Threshold Airbags Your front airbags are dual-stage airbags. This means they have two inflation stages that can be ignited sequentially or simultaneously, depending on crash severity. Your front airbags are also dualthreshold airbags. Airbags with this feature have two deployment thresholds that depend on whether sensors detect the occupant is wearing a seat belt or not.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４４：４０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３１ Additional Information About Your Airbags Advanced Airbags Your front airbags are also advanced airbags. The main purpose of this feature is to help prevent airbagcaused injuries to short drivers and children who ride in front. For both advanced airbags to work properly: Occupants must sit upright and wear their seat belts properly. Do not spill any liquids on or under the seats, cover the sensors, or put any objects or metal items under the front seats.
０７／１０／２６ １４：２６：１５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３２ Additional Information About Your Airbags Moving the front seat forcibly back against cargo on the seat or floor behind it. When the airbag is turned off, a ‘‘passenger airbag off’’ indicator in the center of the dashboard comes on (see page 30 ). Moving the front seat or seat-back forcibly back against the folded rear seat. If the weight sensors detect there is no passenger in the front seat, the airbag will be off.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４４：５８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３３ Additional Information About Your Airbags 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.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４５：０８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３４ Additional Information About Your Airbags How Your Side Curtain Airbags Work To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts and sit upright and well back in their seats.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４５：１６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３５ Additional Information About Your Airbags 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. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS indicator alerts you to a possible problem. 30 U.S.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４５：２６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３６ Additional Information About Your Airbags Be aware that objects placed on the front seat can cause the indicator to come on. The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and off repeatedly if the total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold. If an adult or teenage passenger is riding in front, move the seat as far to the rear as possible, and have the passenger sit upright and wear the seat belt properly. Any items under the front passenger’s seat.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４５：３２ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３７ Additional Information About Your Airbags If your vehicle has a moderate to severe impact. 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. Additional Safety Precautions Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４５：４１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３８ Protecting Children − General Guidelines 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. It begins with important general guidelines, then presents special information for infants, small children, and larger children.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４５：５０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００３９ Protecting Children − General Guidelines 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 age 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat. Some states have laws restricting where children may ride.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４６：０３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４０ Protecting Children − General Guidelines U.S. Models Sun Visor Dashboard Driver and Passenger Safety 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.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４６：１２ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４１ Protecting Children − General Guidelines 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 47 ). Move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible (see page 91 ).
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４６：２０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４２ Protecting Children − General Guidelines Additional Safety Precautions Never hold an infant or child on your lap. If you are not wearing a Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt could press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries. Never let two children use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４６：２８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４３ Protecting Infants and Small Children Protecting Infants Two types of seats may be used: a seat designed exclusively for infants, or a convertible seat used in the rearfacing, reclining mode. Do not put a rear-facing child seat in a forward-facing position. If placed facing forward, an infant could be very seriously injured during a frontal collision.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４６：３８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４４ Protecting Infants and Small Children Protecting Small Children Child Seat Placement We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a back seat, not the front. Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death during a collision. Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with a passenger’s airbag can be hazardous.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４６：４５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４５ Protecting Infants and Small Children, Selecting a Child Seat If it is necessary to put a forwardfacing child seat in the front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, and be sure the child seat is firmly secured to the vehicle and the child is properly strapped in the seat.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４６：５５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４６ Selecting a Child Seat, Installing a Child Seat 2. The child seat should be of the proper type and size to fit the child. 3. The child seat should fit the vehicle seating position (or positions) where it will be used. Before purchasing a conventional child seat, or using a previously purchased one, we recommend that you test the seat in the specific vehicle seating position or positions where the seat will be used. 1. Properly secure the child seat to the vehicle.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４７：０３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４７ Installing a Child Seat Installing a Child Seat Using LATCH Your vehicle is equipped with LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) at the outer rear seats. BUTTON 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. The location of each lower anchor is indicated by a small button above the anchor point. LOWER ANCHORS To install a LATCH-compatible child seat: 1.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４７：１１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４８ Installing a Child Seat 7. Push and pull the child seat forward and from side-to-side to verify that it is secure. ANCHOR Flexible type 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. 5.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４７：１８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００４９ Installing a Child Seat 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. 1.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４７：２７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００５０ Installing a Child Seat Installing a Child Seat with a Tether Driver and Passenger Safety ANCHORAGE POINTS COVER 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. Remember, if the lap part of the belt is not tight, the child seat will not be secure.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４７：３３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００５１ Installing a Child Seat TETHER STRAP HOOK TETHER STRAP HOOK ANCHOR ANCHOR Outer Position 1. After properly securing the child seat (see page 44 ), lift the head restraint, then route the tether strap over the seat-back and through the head restraint legs. If the tether strap is too long and cannot be tightened firmly, find a route where the strap can be tightened securely. 46 Center Position 2.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４７：４０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００５２ Protecting Larger Children 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 a lap/shoulder belt. Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in front can result in injury or death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４７：４９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００５３ Protecting Larger Children 3. Does the shoulder belt cross between the child’s neck and arm? Using a Booster Seat Booster seats can be high-back or low-back. Whichever style you select, make sure the booster seat meets federal safety standards (see page 40 ) and that you follow the booster seat maker’s instructions. 4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs? 5.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４８：００ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００５４ Protecting Larger Children If the passenger’s front airbag inflates in a moderate to severe frontal collision, the airbag can cause serious injuries to a child who is unrestrained, improperly restrained, sitting too close to the airbag, or out of position. Of course, children vary widely. And while age may be one indicator of when a child can safely ride in front, there are other important factors you should consider.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４８：０５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００５５ Protecting Larger Children Additional Safety Precautions Do not let a child wear a seat belt across the neck. This could result in serious neck injuries during a crash. Do not let a child put the shoulder part of a seat belt behind the back or under the arm. This could cause very serious injuries during a crash. It also increases the chance that the child will slide under the belt in a crash and be injured. Two children should never use the same seat belt.
０７／０７／０３ ２０：４８：１３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ００５６ Carbon Monoxide Hazard Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever: Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you. Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide. The vehicle is raised for an oil change. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust. The vehicle was in an accident that may have damaged the underside.

０７／０７／０３ ２１：０７：０６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９１ Fuel Economy 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. The EPA fuel economy estimates shown in the example to the right are a useful tool for comparison when buying a vehicle.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０７：２０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９２ Fuel Economy Use the recommended viscosity motor oil, displaying the API Certification Seal (see page 232). Maintain proper tire inflation − An under-inflated tire increases ‘‘rolling resistance,’’ which reduces fuel economy. Avoid carrying excess weight in your vehicle − It puts a heavier load on the engine, increasing fuel consumption. Drive Efficiently Drive moderately − Rapid acceleration, abrupt cornering, and hard braking increase fuel consumption.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０７：２９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９３ Fuel Economy 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. A warmed-up engine is more fuel efficient than a cold one.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０７：３７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９４ Accessories and Modifications 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. Although non-Honda accessories may fit on your vehicle, they may not meet factory specifications, and could adversely affect your vehicle’s handling and stability.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０７：４５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９５ Accessories and Modifications 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. Non-Honda wheels, because they are a universal design, can cause excessive stress on suspension components and will not be compatible with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)＊.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０７：５２ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９６ Carrying Cargo Your vehicle has several convenient storage areas: DOOR POCKETS TRUNK CENTER POCKET Glove box Door pockets Console compartment Trunk, including the rear seats when folded down Center pocket CONSOLE COMPARTMENT GLOVE BOX 191 Before Driving However, carrying too much cargo, or improperly storing it, can affect your vehicle’s handling, stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０８：０１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９７ Carrying Cargo Load Limits The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (385 kg) for U.S.A, 395 kg for Canada. See Tire And Loading Information label attached to the driver’s doorjamb. Label Example 192 This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０８：１４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９８ Carrying Cargo (5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. (6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０８：２０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０１９９ Carrying Cargo Carrying Items in the Passenger Compartment Store or secure all items that could be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash. Carrying Cargo in the Trunk Distribute cargo evenly on the floor of the trunk, placing the heaviest items on the bottom and as far forward as possible. Do not put any items on top of the trunk panel. They can block your view and be thrown around the vehicle during a crash.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０８：２４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２００ Driving 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) system, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and facts you need if you are planning to tow a trailer. 195 Driving Driving Guidelines ......................... 196 Preparing to Drive .....................
０７／１０／２６ １４：１１：００ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０１ Driving Guidelines Because of the low-profile tires fitted to your vehicle, the alloy wheels are closer to the ground. Driving over a pothole or road debris at too high a speed can seriously damage a wheel. Slow down under these conditions. Si model Your vehicle is designed to give you optimum handling and performance on well-maintained roads. As part of this design, your vehicle has a minimum of ground clearance and very low-profile tires.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０８：４０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０２ Preparing to Drive You should do the following checks and adjustments every day before you drive your vehicle. 4. Check that any items you may be carrying are stored properly or fastened down securely. 9. Fasten your seat belt. Check that your passengers have fastened their seat belts (see page 14 ). 1. Make sure all windows, mirrors, and outside lights are clean and unobstructed. Remove frost, snow, or ice. 5. Check the seat adjustment (see page 91 ). 10.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０８：４９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０３ Starting the Engine 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. In cold weather, turn off all electrical accessories to reduce the drain on the battery. 3. Manual transmission: Press the clutch pedal down all the way. The START (III) position does not function unless the clutch pedal is pressed. Automatic transmission: Make sure the shift lever is in Park. Press on the brake pedal. 4. Without touching the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to the START (III) position.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０８：５７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０４ Manual Transmission cause your clutch to wear out faster. 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. Si On vehicles with 6-speed manual transmission, the lockout system prevents you from shifting directly from any forward gear to reverse while the vehicle is moving at a certain speed (see page 201 ).
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０９：０４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０５ Manual Transmission When slowing down, you can get extra braking from the engine by shifting to a lower gear. This extra braking can help you maintain a safe speed and prevent your brakes from overheating while going down a steep hill. Before downshifting, make sure the engine speed will not go into the tachometer’s red zone in the lower gear. Rapid slowing or speeding up can cause loss of control on slippery surfaces. If you crash, you can be injured.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０９：１３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０６ Manual Transmission Engine Speed Limiter If you exceed the maximum speed for the gear you are in, the engine speed will enter into the tachometer’s red zone. If this occurs, you may feel the engine cut in and out. This is caused by a limiter in the engine’s computer controls. The engine will run normally when you reduce the rpm below the red zone.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０９：２１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０７ Automatic Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicators If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on along with the ‘‘D’’ indicator, there is a problem with the automatic transmission control system. Avoid rapid acceleration, and have the transmission checked by your dealer as soon as possible. Shifting SHIFT LEVER RELEASE BUTTON These indicators on the instrument panel show which position the shift lever is in.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０９：２８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０８ Automatic Transmission To shift from: P to R Press the shift lever release button. Move the shift lever. Park (P) − This position mechanically locks the transmission. Use Park whenever you are turning off or starting the engine. To shift out of Park, you must press on the brake pedal and have your foot off the accelerator pedal. Press the release button on the front of the shift lever to move it.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０９：３６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２０９ Automatic Transmission Drive (D3) − This position is similar to D, except only the first three gears are selected. Use D3 when towing a trailer in hilly terrain, or to provide engine braking when going down a steep hill. D3 can also keep the transmission from cycling between third, fourth, and fifth gears in stop-and-go driving. Second (2) − To shift to second, press the release button on the front of the shift lever. This position locks the transmission in second gear.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０９：４５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１０ Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Release Do this if pushing on the brake pedal and pressing the release button does not shift the transmission out of Park: RELEASE BUTTON 1. Set the parking brake. 2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. NOTCH COVER 4. Insert a key into the shift lock release slot. 5. Push down on the key while you press the release button on the shift lever and move the lever out of Park to neutral. SHIFT LOCK RELEASE SLOT 6.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：０９：５４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１１ Parking 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. Parking Tips Make sure the moonroof (if equipped) and the windows are closed. Turn off the lights. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, set the parking brake before you put the transmission in Park. This keeps the vehicle from moving and putting pressure on the parking mechanism in the transmission.
０７／０７／０４ １４：２３：０８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１２ Braking System Your vehicle is equipped with front disc brakes. The brakes on the rear wheels may be disc or drum, depending on the model. A power assist helps reduce the effort needed on the brake pedal. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering control when braking very hard. Braking System Design The hydraulic system that operates the brakes has two separate circuits.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１０：０８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１３ Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) 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. You should never pump the brake pedal.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１０：１５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１４ Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) Important Safety Reminders ABS does not reduce the time or distance it takes to stop the vehicle. It only helps with the steering control during braking. Test your brakes as instructed on page 279 . If the brakes feel normal, drive slowly and have your vehicle repaired by your dealer as soon as possible. Avoid sudden hard braking which could cause the rear wheels to lock up and possibly lead to a loss of control.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１０：２４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１５ Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System 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.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１４：１５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１６ Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System VSA Off Switch Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to switch the VSA on again. We do not recommend driving your vehicle with the VSA and traction control systems switched off. VSA and Tire Sizes Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes may cause the VSA to malfunction. When replacing tires, make sure they are of the same size and type as your original tires (see page 260 ).
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１０：４１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１７ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 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). If the air pressure of a tire becomes significantly low while driving, the sensor in that tire immediately sends a signal that causes the low tire pressure indicator to come on.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１０：４９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１８ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Refer to page 254 for tire inflation guidelines. Although your tire pressure is monitored, you must manually check the tire pressures monthly. information label and in the owner’s manual (see page 255 ). Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator This indicator comes on and stays on if there is a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１０：５７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２１９ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 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 266 ). Each wheel (except the compact spare tire wheel) is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind the valve stem. You must use TPMS specific wheels. It is recommended that you always have your tires serviced by your dealer or qualified technician.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１１：０３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２２０ Towing a Trailer Your vehicle has been designed primarily to carry passengers and their cargo. You can also use it to tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper equipment, and follow the guidelines in this section. Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive. Total Trailer Weight: The maximum allowable weight of the trailer and everything in or on it must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 kg).
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１１：１３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２２１ Towing a Trailer To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 60% of the load toward the front of the trailer and 40% toward the rear, then re-adjust the load as needed.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１１：２３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２２２ Towing a Trailer Towing Equipment and Accessories Towing can require a variety of equipment, depending on the size of your trailer, how it will be used, how much load you are towing, and where you tow. Trailer Brakes Honda recommends that any trailer having a total weight of 1,000 lbs (450 kg) or more be equipped with its own electric or surge-type brakes. Safety Chains Always use safety chains when you tow a trailer.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１１：２９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２２３ Towing a Trailer Trailer Lights Additional Towing Equipment Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state, and local regulations. Check with your local trailer dealer or rental agency for the requirements in your area, and use only equipment designed for your vehicle. Many states and Canadian provinces require special outside mirrors when towing a trailer.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１１：３８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２２４ Towing a Trailer Pre-Tow Checklist When preparing to tow, and before driving away, be sure to check the following: The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension, cooling system, and lights are in good operating condition. The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure. All items in or on the trailer are properly secured and cannot shift while you drive.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１１：４７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２２５ Towing a Trailer Driving Safely With a Trailer The added weight, length, and height of a trailer will affect your vehicle’s handling and performance, so driving with a trailer requires some special driving skills and techniques. For your safety and the safety of others, take time to practice driving maneuvers before heading for the open road, and follow the guidelines below.

０７／０７／０３ ２１：１６：２４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２５９ Tires 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. Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１４：５９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６０ Tires 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 ) higher than the cold readings. This is normal. Do not let air out to match the recommended cold air pressure. The tire will be underinflated. While tubeless tires have some ability to self-seal if they are punctured, you should look closely for punctures if a tire starts losing pressure.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１５：１１ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６１ Tires High Speed Driving Si model only We strongly recommend that you do not drive faster than the posted speed limits and conditions allow. If you ever drive in a sanctioned competitive event at sustained high speeds (over 118 mph or 190 km/h), be sure to adjust the cold tire pressures as shown below. If you do not, excessive heat can build up and cause sudden tire failure.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１５：２０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６２ Tires INDICATOR LOCATION MARKS TREAD WEAR INDICATOR The last four digits of the TIN (tire identification number) are found on the sidewall of the tire and indicate the date of manufacture (See Tire Labeling on page 297 ). In addition to your regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five years old.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１５：３３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６３ Tires 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. A tire should always be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel. When you have new tires installed, make sure they are balanced. This increases riding comfort and tire life.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１５：４５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６４ Tires The mileage you can expect from your vehicle tires is the same as comparable mid-and rear-engine sports cars, and it will vary greatly with your driving habits. If you drive moderately, the front tires could last more than 10,000 miles (16,000 km). However, the mileage will be substantially less if you tend to drive your vehicle at the upper limits of its capabilities.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１５：５４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６５ Tires Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always use the size and type of tires recommended in this owner’s manual.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１６：０８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６６ Tires Winter Driving Tires marked ‘‘M ＋ S’’ or ‘‘All Season’’ on the sidewall have an allweather 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. They may be required by local laws under certain conditions. Snow Tires If you mount snow tires on your vehicle, make sure they are radial tires of the same size and load range as original tires.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１６：１６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６７ Tires, Checking the Battery Checking the Battery Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed. TEST INDICATOR WINDOW TEST INDICATOR WINDOW Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding the selection and use of tire chains. Except Si Check the condition of the battery monthly by looking at the test indicator window.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１６：２４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６８ Checking the Battery If additional battery maintenance is needed, see your dealer or a qualified technician. 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. Always disconnect the negative (−) cable first, and reconnect it last.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１６：３６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２６９ Vehicle Storage 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. Fill the fuel tank. Wash and dry the exterior completely. Clean the interior. Make sure the carpeting, floor mats, etc., are completely dry. Leave the parking brake off.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１７：５８ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２７０ Taking Care of the Unexpected 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. If not, you will also find instructions on getting your vehicle towed. Compact Spare Tire....................... 266 Changing a Flat Tire .....................
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１８：０７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２７１ Compact Spare Tire 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. It should be inflated to: 60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm ) Follow these precautions: Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). This tire gives a harsher ride and less traction on some road surfaces.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１８：１７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２７２ Changing a Flat Tire 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. The compact spare tire is smaller than a standard tire, and it will affect the vehicle’s handling. Drive cautiously when the spare is mounted on your vehicle.

Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and could seriously injure the occupants. Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely before driving. 20.Lower the trunk floor, and close the trunk lid. 21.On U.S. models Your vehicle’s original tire has a tire pressure monitoring system sensor.
０７／１０／２６ １４：１６：４６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２７７ If the Engine Won’t Start 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. See Emergency Towing on page 286 .
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１９：０９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２７８ Jump Starting 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. Except Si 1. Open the hood, and check the physical condition of the battery. In very cold weather, check the condition of the electrolyte.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１９：１７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２７９ Jump Starting Si Except Si Si BOOSTER BATTERY 3. 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. Connect the other end to the grounding strap as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable to any other part of the engine. 5.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１９：２４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８０ Jump Starting, If the Engine Overheats 7. Once your vehicle is running, disconnect the negative cable from your vehicle, then from the booster battery. Disconnect the positive cable from your vehicle, then from the booster battery. Keep the ends of the jumper cables away from each other and any metal on the vehicle until everything is disconnected. Otherwise, you may cause an electrical short.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１９：３３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８１ If the Engine Overheats 3. If you do not see steam or spray, leave the engine running and watch the temperature gauge. If the high heat is due to overloading, the engine should start to cool down almost immediately. If it does, wait until the temperature gauge comes down to the midpoint, then continue driving. 4. If the temperature gauge stays at the red mark, turn off the engine. 5. Look for any obvious coolant leaks, such as a split radiator hose.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１９：４２ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８２ Low Oil Pressure Indicator, Charging System Indicator 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. 2. Let the vehicle sit for a minute. Open the hood, and check the oil level (see page 183 ).
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１９：４９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８３ Malfunction Indicator Lamp 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. Continued operation may cause serious damage. If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the indicator coming on could be due to a loose or missing fuel fill cap.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：１９：５６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８４ Brake System Indicator U.S. Canada The brake system indicator 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. If the fluid level is low, take your vehicle to a dealer, and have the brake system inspected for leaks or worn brake pads.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２０：０３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８５ Fuses INTERIOR UNDER-HOOD TAB FUSE LABEL The fuses are in two fuse boxes. The interior fuse box is underneath the steering column. 280 The under-hood fuse box is on the driver’s side, next to the brake fluid reservoir. To open it, push the tabs as shown. Checking and Replacing Fuses If something electrical in your vehicle stops working, the first thing you should check for is a blown fuse.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２０：１０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８６ Fuses FUSE BLOWN BLOWN FUSE PULLER 2. Remove the cover from the fuse box. 3. Check each of the large fuses in the under-hood fuse box by looking through the top at the wire inside. Removing these fuses requires a Phillips-head screwdriver. 4. Check the smaller fuses in the under-hood fuse box and all the fuses in the interior fuse box by pulling out each one with the fuse puller provided on the back of the under-hood fuse box cover.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２０：１６ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８７ Fuses BLOWN 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. 282 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. Make sure you can do without that circuit temporarily (such as the accessory power socket or radio).
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２０：２０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２８８ Fuses All models except DX and Canadian DX-G If the driver’s power window fuse is removed, the AUTO function of the driver’s window will be disabled. You should reset the AUTO feature, (see page 100 ). If the radio fuse is removed, the audio system will disable itself. The next time you turn on the radio you will see ‘‘ENTER CODE’’ in the frequency display. Use the preset buttons to enter the digit code (see page 173 ).

０７／０７／０３ ２１：２０：４７ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２９１ Emergency Towing 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. This is the best way to transport your vehicle. Wheel-lift Equipment − The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off the ground.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２０：５２ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０２９２ Emergency Towing Do not tie down the vehicle at an angle that would allow the towing cables to contact the vehicle’s front bumper. To avoid possible damage, protect the front bumper with tape. If your vehicle is equipped with a front spoiler, remove it before towing so it is not damaged. The steering system can be damaged if the steering wheel is locked.

０７／０７／０３ ２１：２２：１０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３００ DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles) 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. The following explains these gradings. Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２２：１４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０１ DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles) 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. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２２：３０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０２ Tire Labeling The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you should be aware of are described below. TIRE LABELING EXAMPLE Tire Size Tire Identification Number (TIN) 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. The tire identification number (TIN) is a group of numbers and letters that look like the following example.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２２：３９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０３ Tire Labeling, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) − Required Federal Explanation Maximum Tire Pressure Max Press −The maximum air pressure the tire can hold. Maximum Tire Load Max Load −The maximum load the tire can carry at maximum air pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) U.S.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２２：４５ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０４ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) − Required Federal Explanation Driving on a significantly underinflated 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. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２２：５３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０５ Emissions Controls 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. Under certain conditions of sunlight and climate, NOx and HC react to form photochemical ‘‘smog.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２３：０３ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０６ Emissions Controls 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 exhaust emissions control systems are separate from the crankcase and evaporative emissions control systems.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２３：１０ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０７ Three Way Catalytic Converter DX, Canadian DX-G, LX, EX, EX-L Si model Always use unleaded gasoline. Even a small amount of leaded gasoline can contaminate the catalyst metals, making the three way catalytic converter ineffective. Keep the engine well maintained. THREE WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER The three way catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２３：１９ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０８ Emissions Testing 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 onboard diagnostics for the emissions systems. These codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
０７／０７／０３ ２１：２３：２４ ３１ＳＮＡ６２０ ０３０９ Emissions Testing 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. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.
