Jump Starting

To start a car with a dead battery, use another battery of the same voltage, and the proper jumper cables.

Procedures other than those below could cause injury or damage from battery acid spray, explosion or charging system overload. Never connect the jumper cable directly to the negative post of the "dead" battery. Never allow the two cars to touch each other. Never allow the jumper cable clamps to touch each other. Never lean over the battery when making connections. Never attempt to jump start a vehicle with a frozen battery. The battery could rupture and explode. If you suspect a frozen battery, remove the vent caps and check the fluid, If there seems to be no fluid, or if you see ice, do not attempt a jump start until the fluid thaws.

CAUTION: If jumper cables are connected backwards, the car's main fuse may blow.

1 .Turn off all lights, heater and other electrical loads, set the parking

brake, and shift the transmission to Neutral or Park.

2. Use one cable to connect the positive terminal of the booster

battery to the positive terminal of the "dead" battery.

DEAD BATTERY

Positive to positive

Do not attach cable here.

Negative to the engine, not to the battery

BOOSTER BATTERY

3. Use the other cable to connect the negative terminal of the

booster battery to the engine at the ground cable as shown.

4.To remove the cables, reverse the above procedures exactly.

DO NOT push or tow a car to start it. The forward surge when the engine starts could cause a collision. Also, under some conditions, the catalytic converter could be damaged. A car equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started by pushing or towing.

NOTE: On the SE model: After jump-starting the car, there is a possibility that the Anti-lock brake system warning light may come on due to insufficient battery voltage. After the battery is sufficiently recharged and the engine is turned off and restarted, the Anti-lock brake system warning light should indicate that the Anti-lock brake system is OK, by coming on for a few seconds each time the engine is started. If the light remains on after recharging, have it checked by a Honda dealer.

Towing

If towing is necessary, contact a professional towing service. Your authorized Honda dealer can assist you with detailed towing instructions.

Never use tow chains or rope to tow a car; your ability to safely control the car may be adversely affected.

We recommend the following: Flat Bed Equipment — Entire car is winched on a flat bed vehicle. This is the best way of transporting your Honda. Wheel Lift Type — Tow with the front wheels off the ground.

If the car can only be towed with the front wheels on the ground: make sure the transmission is full of fluid (see pages 88 — 89 ) and tow with the transmission in neutral (N) and the ignition key in the I position.

CAUTION: To avoid serious damage on automatic transmission cars, first start the engine and shift to D4, then to N and shut the engine off. If the engine does not run or the transmission cannot be shifted while the engine is running, the car must be transported on flat bed equipment.

Check local regulations for towing.

CAUTION:

Do not exceed 35 mph (55 km/h) or tow for distances of more than 50 miles (80 km) . If a sling type tow is used, the tow truck driver should position wood spacer blocks between your car's frame and the chains and lift straps to avoid damaging the bumper and the body. Do not use the bumpers to lift the car or to support the car's weight while towing.

If Your Car Gets Stuck

If your car gets stuck in sand, mud, or snow, call a professional towing service for assistance in getting your car out.

CAUTION:

Do not rev up the engine and alow the wheels to spin freely at high speed. Severe transmission damage may result if the wheels are allowed to spin for more than a few seconds. DO NOT try to free a car with automatic transmission from snow, etc. by rocking the car alternately between forward and reverse gears. Severe transmission damage may result from shifting into gear with the wheels moving.

Shoulder Belt Buckle

Proceed as follows if the shoulder belt buckle stalls. 1. Lift the hood and remove the cover from the engine compart-

ment fuse box.

2. Remove the fuse for the automatic ("passive") shoulder belt

buckle motor that does not work.

LEFT MOTOR

RIGHT MOTOR

BLOWN

3. If the fuse has blown, replacing it with a new fuse of the same am- perage should allow the shoulder belt buckle motor to work. How- ever, if the fuse hasn't blown, or if a new fuse did not solve the problem, remove the fuse and operate the motor manually.

CAUTION: Always remove the fuse before manually operating the shoulder belt buckle motor, otherwise the motor may suddenly activate.

4. Remove the cover located on the center pillar.

DOT Tire Quality Grades

The tires on your car meet Federal Safety Requirements. All tires are also "graded" according to Department of Transportation (DOT) standards for tread wear, traction and temperature.

Three grades are shown on the tire sidewall.

TIRE

WHEEL RIM

Tread Wear The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

tires depends upon

Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B, and C, and they represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

The traction grades assigned are based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and do not include cornering (turning) traction.

(cont'd)

DOT Tire Quality Grades (cont'd)

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. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

The tire temperature grade is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Emission Controls

Sources of Emissions The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons. The evaporation of fuel in the fuel tank also produces hydrocarbons. Control of oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons is very important since, under certain conditions, when subjected to sunlight, they react to form photochemical smog. Carbon monoxide does not react to form smog, but it is toxic. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has developed a number of systems which are highly effective in reducing carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.

The Clean Air Act The Clean Air Act requires all vehicle manufacturers to explain in writing, the operation and maintenance of their emission control systems. Maintenance instructions are included on pages 78—80 ; the operation of each system is explained on the following.

Replacement Parts The emission control systems on your new Honda were designed, built and certified the Federal regulations implementing the Clean Air Act. Honda recommends only the use of new, genuine Honda parts or their equivalent. The use of other replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of your car's emission control systems.

to conform with

Crankcase Emission Control System To prevent crankcase emissions, your car is equipped with a Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System which routes blowby gases from the crankcase, through the PCV valve and intake manifold, into the combustion chamber.

Evaporative Emission Control System The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel vapors from the fuel tank are directed into the charcoal canister where they are adsorbed and stored while the engine is stopped or idling. When the coolant temperature rises to a certain value, the vapors are drawn into the engine through the throttle body and the intake manifold during normal engine operation.

(cont'd)

Emission Controls (cont'd)

Engine Exhaust Controls The engine exhaust emission control systems are designed to control combustion during idle, acceleration, cruise, and deceleration. These systems are entirely separate from the crankcase and evaporative emission control systems described previously.

PGM Fl System The PGM-FI system consists of three independent sub-systems; Air Intake, Electronic Control and Fuel Control, thus allowing more accurate control of air/fuel ratios under all operating conditions. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) detects the amount of air drawn into the cylinders and determines the amount of fuel to be injected to provide the optimum air/fuel ratio for all engine needs.

Ignition Timing Control System This system automatically controls the ignition timing to reduce the amount of HC and NOx.

Catalytic Converter The catalyst is used to convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas, to carbon dioxide (CO2), dinitrogen (N2) and water vapor.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) The EGR system is designed to control the formation of oxides of nitrogen fuel mixture burns at high temperature. It works by recirculating exhaust gas through the EGR valve and intake manifold into the combustion chambers where it reduces peak temperature by diluting the air/fuel mixture.

(NOx) caused when

Catalytic Converter

A catalytic converter is installed in the exhaust system to help clean-up the harmful exhaust gases that can cause air pollution. To be effective, the converter must work at high temperature, so don't park your car over dry grass, leaves or anything else that could burn easily. To stay effective, the converter must not be contaminated by leaded gasoline; use only unleaded gas as explained on page 58.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

CAUTION: The converter can be overheated and damaged if It's fed too much unburned fuel mixture from the engine, so: — Don't push or tow the car to start it; if the battery is dead, jump

start the car as shown on page 122.

— Don't turn the key off while the engine is running above idle

speed.

parts.

— Don't change the ignition timing, or remove any emission control

— Use only the spark plugs specified in this manual. — Don't keep driving your car if it isn't running properly, or if its CHARGE warning light comes on; have it checked by your Honda dealer.
