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 display by pressing the Select/Reset button repeatedly.


Each trip meter works independently, so you can keep track of two different distances.


When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the meter you last selected is displayed.


To reset a trip meter, display it, and then press and hold the Select/Reset button 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 to the upper zone. 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.

Outside Temperature Indicator


OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR


Ifequipped This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Centigrade (Canadian models).


Gauges


Odometer The odometer shows the total dis- tance your vehicle has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated.


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.

The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. Therefore, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).


The sensor delays the display update until it reaches the correct outside temperature. This may take several minutes.


If the outside temperature is incorrectly displayed, you can adjust it up 3°C in Canadian models) warmer or cooler.

NOTE: The temperature must be stabilized before doing this procedure.

When it reaches the desired value, release the Select/Reset button. You should see the new outside temperature displayed.


In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface.


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


Gauges


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 button until the message is replaced by the odometer/trip meter 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

Make sure you have securely locked the steering wheel in place by trying to move it up and down.


The master key fits all the locks on your vehicle. The valet key works only in the ignition, the door locks, and the tailgate. You can keep the glove box locked when you leave your vehicle and the valet key at a parking facility.


70


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.


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.


04/07/02 15:21:33 31S9A630 0076 


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


Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Electrical problems could result that may make your vehicle undriveable.


If you have lost your key and cannot start your engine, contact your dealer.


The Immobilizer System protects your vehicle from theft. If an improperly-coded key (or other device) is used, the engine’s fuel system is disabled.


When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the Immobilizer System indicator should come on for a few seconds, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert it, and turn the switch to ON (II) again.


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.
