Radio Reception How well the radio receives stations is dependent on many factors, such as the distance from the station’s transmitter, nearby large objects, and atmospheric conditions.


A radio station’s signal gets weaker as you get farther away from its transmitter. If you are listening to an AM station, you will notice the sound volume becoming weaker and the station drifting in and out. If you are listening to an FM station, you will see the stereo indicator flickering off and on as the signal weakens. Eventually, the stereo indicator will go off and the sound will fade completely as you get out of range of the station’s signal.


Radio Frequencies The radio can receive the complete AM and FM bands. Those bands cover these frequen- cies:


AM band: 530 to 1,710 kilohertz


FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 megahertz


Radio stations on the AM band are assigned frequencies at least ten kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550). Stations on the FM band are assigned frequencies at least 0.2
megahertz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).


Stations must use these exact frequencies. It is fairly common for stations to round-off the frequency in their advertising, so your radio could display a frequency of 100.9 even though the announcer may identify the station as ‘‘FM101.’’


Radio Reception


Driving very near the transmitter of a station that is broadcasting on a frequency close to the frequency of the station you are listening to can also affect your radio’s reception. You may temporarily hear both stations, or hear only the station you are close to.


93


04/07/16 13:11:35 31S5T630 0097 


Radio Reception


AsrequiredbytheFCC: Changesormodificationsnotexpressly approvedbythepartyresponsiblefor compliancecouldvoidtheuser’s authoritytooperatetheequipment.


Radio signals, especially on the FM band, are deflected by large objects such as buildings and hills. Your radio then receives both the direct signal from the station’s transmitter, and the deflected signal. This causes the sound to distort or flutter. This is a main cause of poor radio reception in city driving.


Radio reception can be affected by atmospheric conditions such as thunderstorms, high humidity, and even sunspots. You may be able to receive a distant radio station one day and not receive it the next day because of a change in conditions.


Electrical interference from passing vehicles and stationary sources can cause temporary reception problems.

General Information


When using CD-R discs, use only high quality CDs labeled for audio use.


When recording a CD-R, the recording must be closed for it to be used by the system.


CD-RW discs will not work in this unit.


Play only standard round CDs. Odd-shaped CDs may jam in the drive or cause other problems.


Handle your CDs properly to prevent damage and skipping.


Do not use discs with adhesive labels. The label can curl up and cause the disc to jam in the unit.


Protecting CDs When a CD is not being played, store it in its case to protect it from dust and other contamination. To prevent warpage, keep CDs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.


To clean a CD, use a clean soft cloth. Wipe across the CD from the center to the outside edge.


A new CD may be rough on the inner and outer edges. The small plastic pieces causing this roughness can flake off and fall on the re- cording surface of the CD, causing skipping or other problems. Remove these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer edges with the side of a pencil or pen.


Never try to insert foreign objects in the CD player or the magazine.


Protecting Your CDs


Handle a CD by its edges; never touch either surface. Do not place stabilizer rings or labels on the CD. These, along with contamination from fingerprints, liquids, and felt-tip pens, can cause the CD to not play properly, or possibly jam in the drive.

Caring for the Tape and Player The tape player picks up dirt and oxides from the tape. This contamination builds up over time and causes the sound quality to degrade. To prevent this, you should clean the player after every 30 hours of use.


If you do not clean the tape player regularly, it may eventually become impossible to remove the contamination with a normal cleaning kit. Your dealer has a cleaning kit available.


Use 100-minute or shorter tapes. Tapes longer than that may break or jam the drive.


If the tape is loose, tighten it by turning the hub with a pencil or your finger. If the label is peeling off, remove it or it could cause the tape to jam in the player. Never try to insert a warped or damaged tape in the player.


Store tapes in their cases to protect them from dust and moisture. Never place tapes where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, high heat, or high humidity. If a tape is exposed to extreme heat or cold, let it reach a moderate temperature before inserting it into the player.


Never insert foreign objects into the cassette player.

Your vehicle’s audio system will disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work again, you must enter a specific five-digit code in the preset buttons. Because there are hundreds of number combinations possible from five-digits, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible.


You should have received a card that lists your audio system code number and serial number. It is best to store this card in a safe place at home. In addition, you should write the audio system’s serial number in this Owner’s Manual.


If you lose the card, you must obtain the code number from a dealer. To do this, you will need the system’s serial number.


If your vehicle’s battery is discon- nected or goes dead, the audio system will disable itself. If this happens, you will see ‘‘COdE’’ in the frequency display the next time you turn on the system. Use the preset buttons to enter the five-digit code. The code is on the radio code card included in your Owner’s Manual kit. When it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing.


If you make a mistake entering the code, do not start over; complete the five-digit sequence, then enter the correct code. You have ten tries to enter the correct code. If you are unsuccessful in ten attempts, you must then leave the system on for 1
hour before trying again.


Radio Theft Protection


If the code card is lost, your dealer can access your code with your radio’s serial number. To access the serial number, turn the radio on. It must display ‘‘COdE’’, then turn the radio off. Push the preset 1, preset 6, and power buttons at the same time, then quickly release.


You will have to store your favorite stations in the preset buttons after the system begins working. Your original settings were lost when the power was disconnected.

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 600 miles (1,000 km). During this period:


Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.


Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km).


Do not change the oil until the scheduled maintenance time.


You should follow these same recommendations with an overhauled or exchanged engine, or when the brakes are relined.


Fuel Recommendation Your vehicle is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number of 86 or higher. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic rapping noise that can lead to engine damage.


We recommend using quality gasoline containing detergent additives that help prevent fuel system and engine deposits.


In addition, in order to maintain good performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly recommend, in areas where it is available, the use of gasoline that does NOT contain manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT.


Use of gasoline with these additives may adversely affect performance, and cause the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on your instrument panel to come on. If this happens, contact


110


your dealer for service.


For further important fuel-related information, please refer to your Quick Start Guide


Some gasoline today is blended with oxygenates such as ethanol or MTBE. Your vehicle is designed to operate on oxygenated gasoline containing up to 10 percent ethanol by volume and up to 15 percent MTBE by volume. Do not use gasoline containing methanol.


If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station or switch to another brand of gasoline.

an underinflated tire Forexample, causes more ‘‘rolling resistance,’’ which uses more fuel.


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 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.

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 Honda accessories that allow you to personalize your vehicle. These accessories have been designed and approved for your vehicle, and are covered by warranty.


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 (see page 116


).


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.


Accessories and Modifications


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 proper operation.


) or interfere with


181


Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact your dealer for assistance. If possible, have your dealer inspect the final installation.

04/07/16 13:15:03 31S5T630 0119 


Accessories and Modifications


Larger or smaller wheels and tires 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 systems could make the systems ineffective.


If you plan to modify your vehicle, consult your dealer.


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 a non-Honda suspension kit can affect the handling and stability.


Non-Honda wheels, because they are a universal design, can cause excessive stress on suspension components.
