AllV6models The HomeLink universal transceiver built into your vehicle can be programmed to operate up to three remotely controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or home security systems.

HomeLink Universal Transceiver

General Information Before programming your HomeLink to operate a garage door opener, confirm that the opener has an external entrapment protection system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye,’’ or other safety and reverse stop features.

If your garage door was manufactured before April 1, 1982, you may not be able to program HomeLink to operate it. These units do not have safety features that cause the motor to stop and reverse it if an obstacle is detected during closing, increasing the risk of injury. Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features.

Units manufactured between April 1, 1982 and January 1, 1993 may be equipped with safety stop and reverse features. If your unit does not have an external entrapment protection system, an easy test to confirm the function and performance of the safety stop and reverse feature is to lay a 2
under the closing door. The door should stop and reverse upon contacting the piece of wood.

×

As an additional safety feature, garage door openers manufactured after January 1, 1993 are required to have external entrapment protection systems, such as an electronic eye, which detect an object obstructing the door.

If you just

Training HomeLink Beforeyoubegin received your vehicle and have not trained any of the buttons in HomeLink before, you should erase any previously learned codes before training the first button. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons on the HomeLink transceiver for about 10 20 seconds, − until the red indicator flashes. Release the buttons, then proceed to step 1.

Important Safety Precautions Refer to the safety information that came with your garage door opener to test that the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have this information, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Before programming HomeLink to a garage door or gate opener, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential injury or damage. When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage.

Bluetooth HandsFreeLink

Onmodelswithnavigationsystem Your vehicle is equipped with the Bluetooth HandsFreeLink (HFL). HFL uses Bluetooth technology to link your cell phone to your vehicle. With HFL, you can place and receive calls through your vehicle’s audio system, without the distraction of handling your cell phone. To use this feature, you need a Bluetooth- compatible cell phone with the Hands Free Profile. For more information, and a list of compatible cell phones, visit handsfreelink.honda. com Canada, visit (888) 9-HONDA-9. The HFL is available in both English and French (Canadian models only). To change the language, see page 244

, or call

Here are the main features of the HFL. Instructions for using the HFL begin on page

Voice Control HFL recognizes simple voice commands, such as phone numbers and names. It uses these commands to automatically dial, receive, and store numbers. For more information on voice control, see Using Voice Control on page 220

Bluetooth Wireless Technology Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc. Bluetooth is the wireless technology that links your phone to the HFL. The HFL uses a Class 2 Bluetooth, which means the maximum range between your phone and vehicle is 30 feet (10 meters).

To use the HFL, your phone must have approved Bluetooth capability along with the Hands Free Profile. This type of phone is available through many phone makers and cellular carriers. You can also find an approved phone by visiting handsfreelink.honda.com the Hands Free Link consumer support at (888) 528-7876. In Canada, visit HONDA-9.

Incoming/Outgoing Calls With a linked phone, the HFL allows you to send and receive calls in your vehicle without holding the phone.

You can also store the desired number to the HFL directly from your cell phone using the receive contact function in the HFL.

Phonebook The HFL can store up to 50 names and phone numbers in its phonebook. With a linked phone, you can then automatically dial any name or number in the phonebook.

Microphone The HFL microphone is on the ceiling, between the front spotlights. The microphone is shared with the navigation system.

Audio System When HFL is in use, the sound comes through the vehicle’s front audio system speakers. If the audio system is in use while operating either of the HFL buttons or making a call, HFL overrides the audio system. To change the volume level, use the audio system volume knob or the steering wheel volume controls.

Your vehicle’s HFL system has the cellular phonebook import function. This allows you to import your cellular phonebook to the HFL. Using the navigation system, you can make a call directly and store a desired number in the HFL from the list shown on the navigation display. For more information on how to import the phonebook or to make a call, see page

How to Use the HFL The HFL is operated by the HFL Talk and Back buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. The next few pages provide instructions for all basic features of the HFL.

All phones may not

NOTE: operate identically, and some may cause inconsistent operation of the HFL.

Using Voice Control Here are some guidelines for using voice control:

Adjust the airflow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.

Close the windows and the moonroof.

To enter a command, press and release the Talk button. Then, after the beep, say your command in a clear, natural tone.

Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation.

Give a voice command in a clear natural speaking voice without pausing between words or numbers. If the system cannot recognize your command because of the background noise, speak louder.

If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands correctly.

If the HFL does not recognize a command, its response is, ‘‘Pardon.’’ If it doesn’t recognize the command a second time, its response is, ‘‘Please repeat.’’ If it doesn’t recognize the command a third time, it plays the Help prompt.

When you finish a command sequence, the HFL goes back to its main menu. For example, when you store the name, ‘‘Eric,’’ the HFL response is, ‘‘Eric has been stored.’’ The next time you press the Talk button, you will be at the main menu.

To hear a list of available options at any time, press the Talk button, wait for the beep, and say, ‘‘Hands free help.’’

Many commands can be spoken together. For example, you can say, ‘‘Dial 123-456-7891.’’

To enter a string of numbers in a Call or Dial command, you can say them all at once, or you can separate them in blocks of 3, 4, 7, 10, and 11.

To skip a voice prompt, press the Talk button while the HFL is speaking. The HFL will then begin listening for your next command.

To go back one step in a command process, say, ‘‘Go back,’’ or press the Back button. If nothing is said while the HFL is listening for a command, the HFL will time out and stop its voice recognition. The next time you press the Talk button, the HFL begins listening from the point at which it timed out.

To end a command sequence at any time, press and hold the Back button, or press and release the Talk button, wait for the beep, and say, ‘‘Cancel.’’ The next time you press the Talk button, the HFL begins from its main menu.

Break-in Period, Fuel Recommendation

Fuel Recommendation Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number of 87 or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic rapping noise that can lead to engine damage.

Onmodelswithmanualtransmission You may hear a knocking noise from the engine if you drive the vehicle at low engine speed (below about 1,000
rpm) in a higher gear. To stop this, raise the engine speed by shifting to a lower gear.

We recommend using quality
