Indicator Lights


Immobilizer System Indicator


This indicator comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch ON (II). It will then go off if you have inserted a properly-coded ignition key. If it is not a properly- coded key, the indicator will blink and the engine will not start (see page


83


).


This indicator also blinks several times when you turn the ignition switch from ON (II) to ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0).


Door and Trunk Open Monitor


The appropriate light comes on in this display if the trunk or either door is not closed tightly.


All the lights in the monitor display come on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II).


Turn Signal and Hazard Warning Indicators


The left or right turn signal light blinks when you signal a lane change or turn. If the light does not blink or blinks rapidly, it usually means one of the turn signal bulbs is burned out (see page ). Replace the bulb as soon as possible, since other drivers cannot see that you are signaling.

Odometer The odometer shows the total dis- tance your car has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated.


The odometer and the outside temperature indicator use the same display. To switch the display between the odometer and the outside temperature, press the Select/Reset knob. When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), what you last selected is displayed.


Outside Temperature Indicator On4-cylinderEXmodelwithleather interiorand6-cylinderEXmodel This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit in U.S. models, and in Centigrade in Canadian models. To see the outside temperature, press and release the Select/Reset knob until the temperature is displayed.


The temperature sensor is located in the front bumper. Therefore, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road sur- face, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature read- ing when your speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).


Gauges


In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface.

Trip Meter This meter shows the number of miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada) driven since you last reset it.


There are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip B. Switch between these displays and the odometer/outside temperature display by pressing the Select/Reset knob repeatedly. Each trip meter works independently, so you can keep track of two different distances.


When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), what you last selected is displayed.


To reset a trip meter, display it, and then press and hold the Select/Reset knob until the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.


70


Instruments and Controls


Temperature Gauge This shows the temperature of the engine’s coolant. During normal operation, the pointer should rise from the bottom white mark to about the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or a long period of uphill driving, the pointer may rise into the upper half of the gauge. If it reaches the red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. Turn to page for instructions and precautions on checking the engine’s cooling system.


376


Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It is most accurate when the car is on level ground. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount when you are driving on curvy or hilly roads.


The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition. The gauge shows the fuel level reading immediately after you turn the ignition switch back ON (II).


Avoid driving with an extremely low f uel level. Running out of f uel could cause the engine to misf ire, damaging the catalytic converter.

Between 6,000 miles (9,600 km) and 7,500 miles (12,000 km) this indicator will light for two seconds when you first turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and then flash for ten seconds.


If you exceed 10,000 miles (16,000

In intermittent, the wipers operate every few seconds. The sweep interval will change slightly with speed; getting shorter as you drive faster. While the car is stopped and in gear, the wipers sweep the windshield whenever you remove your foot from the brake pedal. In low speed and high speed, the wipers run continuously.


You can vary how often the wipers sweep the windshield by turning the INT TIME ring on the lever.


If you turn the INT TIME ring to the shortest delay, the wipers will change from intermittent to low speed operation when vehicle speed exceeds 12 mph (20 km/h).


To operate the wipers in mist mode, push the control lever up from the OFF position. The wipers run at high speed until you release the lever. This gives you a quick way to clear the windshield.

Immobilizer System The Immobilizer System protects your car from theft. A properly- coded master or valet key must be used in the ignition switch for the engine to start. If an improperly- coded key (or other device) is used, the engine’s fuel system is disabled.


When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the Immobilizer System indicator should come on for a few seconds, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert it, and turn the switch to ON (II) again.


The system may not recognize your key’s coding if another immobilizer key or other metal object is near the ignition switch when you insert the key. To make sure the system recognizes the key code:


Do not keep other immobilizer keys on the same key ring.


Use a plastic or leather key fob, not metal.


Keep other keys away from your car’s key and the ignition switch while trying to start the engine.


If the system repeatedly does not recognize the coding of your key, contact your Honda dealer.


Keys and Locks


The Immobilizer System indicator will also blink several times when you turn the ignition switch from ON (II) to ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0).


Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Electrical problems could result that may make your car undriveable.


If you have lost your key and you cannot start the engine, contact your Honda dealer.

TransmitterCare Avoid severe shock to the trans- mitter, such as dropping or throwing it. Also, protect it from extreme hot or cold temperatures.


Clean the transmitter case with a soft cloth. Do not use strong cleaners or solvents that could harm the case. Immersing the transmitter in any liquid will harm the trans- mitter and cause it to not function properly.


If you lose a transmitter, you will need to have the replacement programmed to your car’s system by your Honda dealer. Any other transmitters you have will also need to be reprogrammed.
