Break-in Period, Fuel Recommendation
Break-in Period Help assure your vehicle’s future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you drive during the first 1,000 km (625 miles). During this period:
Fuel Recommendation Petrolmodels Your vehicle is designed to operate on Premium/Super unleaded petrol with a Research Octane Number (RON) of 95 or higher.
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
Avoid hard braking for the first 300 km (200 miles).
Do not change the oil until the scheduled maintenance time.
Do not tow a trailer.
You should also follow these recommendations with an overhauled or exchanged engine, or when the brakes are replaced.
298
Before Driving
Petrol of the recommended Research Octane Number (RON) may not be available in some areas. In this case, petrol of a lower octane may be used temporarily if it does not cause engine ‘‘knocking.’’ This will result in decreased engine performance.
Using petrol containing lead will damage your vehicle’s emissions con- trols and engine. This contributes to air pollution.
06/12/06 11:09:04 32SMR600_302
Dieselmodels Your vehicle is designed to use only Diesel Fuel (also known as Automotive gas oil and Derv).
Your vehicle is not designed to use RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester). For more information, ask your dealer.
The quality of diesel fuel (Derv) can vary in different countries, and only clean and good quality fuel should be used.
You need to use the proper fuel for EN590 and also vary the fuel depending on the season. Select the proper fuel according to the regional or climate condition. Use of inadequate fuel may reduce engine power. In this case, the symbol ‘‘ multi-information display.
’’ may appear on the
For proper fuel selection, ‘‘DIESEL’’ is marked on the fuel fill cap.

Oil Check All engines consume oil as part of their normal operation, therefore, the engine oil level must be checked regularly, for example when refuelling. Always check the oil before a long journey.
Petrol models except Type-R
DIPSTICK
OnDieselmodels Do not press the engine cover forcibly. This may damage the engine cover and component parts.
The amount of oil consumed depends on how the vehicle is driven and the climatic and road conditions encountered. The rate of oil consumption can be up to 1 litre per 1,000 km/625 miles. Consumption is likely to be higher when the engine is new.
Make sure the engine is warmed up and the vehicle is parked on level ground. Turn off the engine and wait approximately 3 minutes before checking the oil level.

The build-up of snow or mud on your vehicle’s underside adds weight and rolling resistance. Frequent cleaning helps your fuel mileage and reduces the chance of corrosion.
Drive moderately. Rapid acceleration, abrupt cornering, and hard braking use more fuel.
Always drive in the highest gear possible.
Try to maintain a constant speed. Every time you slow down and speed up, your vehicle uses extra fuel. Use the cruise control (on some types) when appropriate.
Combine several short trips into one.
The air conditioning puts an extra load on the engine which makes it use more fuel. Use the fresh-air ventilation when possible.

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.
Accessories Your dealer has genuine Honda accessories that allow you to personalize your vehicle. These accessories have been designed and approved for your vehicle.
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.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling, stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding accessories and modifications.
When properly installed, cellular phones, alarms, two-way radios, and low-powered audio systems should not interfere with your vehicle’s computer controlled systems, such as your airbags and anti-lock brakes.
Before installing any accessory:
Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, or interfere with proper vehicle operation or performance.
Be sure electronic accessories do not overload electrical circuits (see page ) or interfere with proper operation of your vehicle.
471
Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact your dealer for assistance. If possible, have your dealer inspect the final installation.
Do not install accessories on the side pillars or across the rear windows as these may interfere with proper operation of the side curtain airbags.

Before Driving
06/12/06 11:10:24 32SMR600_312
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.
Some examples are:
Lowering your vehicle with a non-Honda suspension kit that significantly reduces ground clearance can allow the undercarriage to hit speed bumps or other raised objects, which could cause the airbags to deploy.
Raising your vehicle with an aftermarket suspension kit can affect the handling and stability.
Non-Honda wheels, because they are a universal design, can cause excessive stress on suspension components.
Accessories and Modifications
Larger or smaller wheels and tyres can interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s anti-lock brakes and other systems.
Modifying your steering wheel or any other part of your vehicle’s safety features can make the systems ineffective.

Driving Guidelines
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.
Use caution if you ever drive your vehicle on very rough or rutted roads. You could damage the suspension and underbody by bottoming out. Going too fast over parking lot ‘‘speed bumps’’ can also cause damage.
316
Driving
Curbs and steep inclines could damage the front and rear bumpers. Low curbs that do not affect the average vehicle may be high enough to hit the bumper on your vehicle. The front or rear bumper may scrape when trying to drive onto an incline, such as a steep driveway or trailer ramps.
06/12/06 11:11:16 32SMR600_320
