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.’’ Both trip meters will reset if the vehicle’s battery goes dead or is disconnected.

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. See page instructions and precautions on checking the engine’s cooling system.

Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount. The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition.

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.

Check Fuel Cap Indicator If your fuel fill cap is loose or missing, a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message appears as text in the odometer/outside temperature display after you start the engine. The message appears from CHECK to FUEL, then to CAP repeatedly.

Turn the engine off and confirm the fuel fill cap is installed. If it is, loosen the cap, then retighten it at least 3
clicks. When you restart the engine, the message appears again. To clear, press and hold the Select/Reset knob until the message is replaced by the odometer/outside temperature display.

If the system still detects a loose or missing fuel fill cap, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) comes on. Turn the engine off and check or retighten the fuel fill cap at least 3
clicks. The MIL goes out after 3 days of normal driving once the cap is tightened or replaced. If it does not go out, have your dealer inspect the vehicle. For more information, see page

KEY NUMBER TAG

MASTER KEY WITH REMOTE TRANSMITTER

VALET KEY (LIGHT GREY)

You should have received a key number tag with your keys. You will need this key number if you ever have to get a lost key replaced. Use only Honda-approved key blanks.

These keys contain electronic circuits that are activated by the immobilizer system. They will not work to start the engine if the circuits are damaged.

Keys and Locks

The master key fits all the locks on your vehicle. The valet key works only in the ignition and the driver’s door lock. You can keep the trunk release handle, rear seat trunk access, and glove box locked when you leave your vehicle and the valet key at a parking facility.

Protect the keys from direct sunlight, high temperature, and high humidity.

Do not drop the keys or set heavy objects on them.

Keep the keys away from liquids. If they get wet, dry them immediately with a soft cloth.

The system may not recognize your key’s coding if another immobilizer key or other metal object (i.e. key fob) is near the ignition switch when you insert the key.

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

SEAT HEATER SWITCH

OnEX-V6modelandEXwithLeather model Both front seats are equipped with seat heaters. The passenger seat only has heaters in the seat bottom because of side airbag system. The ignition switch must be in the ON (II) position to use the heaters.

Push the front of the switch, HI, to rapidly heat up the seat. After the seat reaches a comfortable

temperature, select LO by pushing the back of the switch. This will keep the seat warm.

In HI, the heater turns off when the seat gets warm, and turns back on after the seat’s temperature drops.

In LO, the heater runs continuously. It does not cycle with temperature changes.

Follow these precautions whenever you use the seat heaters:

Use the HI setting only to heat the seats quickly, because it draws large amounts of current from the battery.

If the engine is left idling for an extended period, do not use the seat heaters, even on the LO setting. It can weaken the battery, causing hard starting.
