This kit will allow you to temporarily repair a flat tire under the following conditions: ● Only one tire is flat. ● The puncture is smaller than 3/16ths of an inch (4 mm). ● The puncture is located within the tread. ● The wheel rim is not damaged. ● The tire bead is seated. When making a temporary repair, carefully follow all instructions in this owner's manual and in the instructions that came with the kit. If you have a flat tire while driving, park the vehicle on a level surface in a safe place, put the transmission in Park (P), set the parking brake, and turn the hazard lights on. Thoroughly examine the tire for a puncture or other damage. If a puncture is wider than 3/16ths of an inch (4 mm), or is located in the tire sidewall, do not attempt to repair the tire. Have your vehicle towed to a Honda service center. In Canada or the continental U.S.A. simply call 1- 800-465-PLUS (7587) for Honda Plus Roadside Assistance. If the damage is smaller than 3/16ths of an inch (4 mm) and within the tire tread, proceed with the following instructions. TIRE VALVE VALVE CAP 1. Park vehicle on a level surface in a safe place. Put the transmission in Park (P) and set the parking brake. Turn hazard light on. Remove valve cap from tire valve.

CONTINUED 295 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire In freezing temperatures, turn the engine on and leave it running while the flat tire is being serviced. Prolonged exposure to the cold may cause the vehicle's battery to weaken. Under cold conditions, safely start the vehicle's engine and keep the engine running at idle when operating the air pump. AIR PUMP SWITCH OFF ON Running the engine with the vehicle in an enclosed or even partly enclosed area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon monoxide. Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can cause unconsciousness and even death. Only run the engine to power the air pump with the vehicle outdoors. 10. Turn the air pump on to inflate the tire. Do not run the air pump for more than 15 minutes or it may overheat. The air pressure gauge will show about 40 to 60 psi (275 to 415 kPa) for the first few minutes while the sealant is pumped into the tire, and then the pressure will go down to about 10 to 20 psi (70 to 140 kPa). 11. Inflate the tire to 33 psi (230 kPa), then turn the air pump switch OFF for an accurate pressure reading. If the pressure fails to reach 33 psi (230 kPa) within 15 minutes, do not continue, and have the vehicle towed. In Canada or the continental U.S.A. simply call 1- 800-465-PLUS (7587) for Honda Plus Roadside Assistance. 12. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. 13. Remove the sealant bottle hose from the tire valve, then reinstall the tire valve cap. 296 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu AIR PRESSURE GAUGE LABEL Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire DEFLATE BUTTON 14.

VALVE CAP TIRE VALVE AIR PUMP HOSE 20. Stop safely and check the pressure in the tire. Remove the tire valve cap, screw the air pump hose onto the tire valve, and check the air gauge. (You do not need to attach the power cord or turn the air pump switch on.) If pressure is less than 19 psi (130 kPa), do not drive the vehicle further or attempt to re-inflate the tire. Call or wait for help. If pressure is lower than 33 psi (230 kPa) and higher than 19 psi (130 kPa), use air pump to bring tire pressure to 33 psi (230 kPa). 21. Then, drive carefully within the speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) for 5 minutes more. 22. Stop safely and check the pressure in the tire. 298 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire, If the Engine Won't Start If the pressure is lower than 32 psi (220 kPa) and higher than 19 psi (130 kPa), use the air pump to bring air to the desired level as described in step 11. Then drive to the nearest service station at no more than 50 mph (80 km/h). If the pressure is below 19 psi, do not continue. Have the vehicle towed (see page 313). In any case, be sure to have the damaged tire permanently repaired as soon as possible. Remember to return the tire sealant bottle to your Honda service center for proper disposal. If the Engine Won't Start Diagnosing why the engine won't start falls into two areas, depending on what you hear when you turn the ignition switch to the START (III) position: ● You hear nothing, or almost nothing. The engine's starter motor does not operate at all, or operates very slowly. ● You can hear the starter motor operating normally, or the starter motor sounds like it is spinning faster than normal, but the engine does not start up and run. Nothing Happens or the Starter Motor Operates Very Slowly When you turn the ignition switch to the START (III) position, you do not hear the normal noise of the engine trying to start. You may hear a clicking sound, a series of clicks, or nothing at all. Check these things: ● Check the transmission interlock. If you have a manual transmission, the clutch pedal must be pushed all the way to the floor or the starter will not operate. With an automatic transmission, it must be in Park or neutral. ● Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. Turn on the headlights, and check their brightness. If the headlights are very dim or do not come on at all, the battery is discharged. See Jump Starting on page 301. CONTINUED 299 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu The Starter Operates Normally In this case, the starter motor's speed sounds normal, or even faster than normal, when you turn the ignition switch to the START (III) position, but the engine does not run. ● Are you using a properly coded key? An improperly coded key will cause the immobilizer system indicator in the instrument panel to blink rapidly (see page 79). ● Are you using the proper starting procedure? Refer to Starting the Engine on page 218. ● Do you have fuel? Check the fuel gauge; the low fuel indicator may not be working. ● There may be an electrical problem, such as no power to the fuel pump. Check all the fuses (see page 308). If you find nothing wrong, you will need a qualified technician to find the problem. See Emergency Towing on page 313. If the Engine Won't Start ● Turn the ignition switch to the START (III) position. If the headlights do not dim, check the condition of the fuses. If the fuses are OK, there is probably something wrong with the electrical circuit for the ignition switch or starter motor. You will need a qualified technician to determine the problem. See Emergency Towing on page 313. If the headlights dim noticeably or go out when you try to start the engine, either the battery is discharged or the connections are corroded. Check the condition of the battery and terminal connections (see page 281). You can then try jump starting the vehicle from a booster battery (see page 301). 300 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu Although this seems like a simple procedure, you should take several precautions. A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby. Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery. You cannot start your vehicle with an automatic transmission by pushing or pulling it. ToJumpStartYourVehicle: 1. Open the hood, and check the physical condition of the battery. In very cold weather, check the condition of the electrolyte. If it seems slushy or frozen, do not try jump starting until it thaws. If a battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolyte inside can freeze. Attempting to jump start with a frozen battery can cause it to rupture. 2. Turn off all the electrical accessories: heater, A/C (if equipped), audio system, lights, etc. Put the transmission in neutral (manual) or Park (automatic), and set the parking brake. Jump Starting BOOSTER BATTERY The numbers in the illustration show you the order to connect the jumper cables. CONTINUED 301 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu Jump Starting 3. Remove the cover from the under- hood fuse box (see page 308). Connect one jumper cable to the positive (＋) terminal on your battery. Connect the other end to the positive (＋) terminal on the booster battery. 4. Connect the second jumper cable to the negative (－) terminal on the booster battery. Connect the other end to the ground strap as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable to any other part of the engine. 302 5. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, have an assistant start that vehicle and run it at a fast idle. 6. Start your vehicle. If the starter motor still operates slowly, check that the jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact. 7. Once your vehicle is running, disconnect the negative cable from your vehicle, then from the booster battery. Disconnect the positive cable from your vehicle, then from the booster battery. Keep the ends of the jumper cables away from each other and any metal on the vehicle until everything is disconnected. Otherwise, you may cause an electrical short. 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu The high temperature indicator should be off under most conditions. If the engine coolant temperature gets higher than normal, the indicator will blink. If it stays on, you should determine the reason (hot day, driving up a steep hill, etc.). If the vehicle overheats, you should take immediate action. The only indication may be the high temperature indicator blinking or remaining on. Or you may see steam or spray coming from under the hood. Driving with the high temperature indicator on can cause serious damage to your engine. Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you. Do not open the hood if steam is coming out. 1. Safely pull to the side of the road. Put the transmission in neutral (manual) or Park (automatic), and set the parking brake. Turn off all accessories, and turn on the hazard warning lights. 2. If you see steam and/or spray coming from under the hood, turn off the engine. Wait until you see no more signs of steam or spray, then open the hood. If the Engine Overheats 3. If you do not see steam or spray, leave the engine running, and check the high temperature indicator. If the high heat is due to overloading, the engine should start to cool down almost immediately. If it does, wait until the high temperature indicator goes off, then continue driving. 4. If the high temperature indicator stays on, turn off the engine. CONTINUED 303 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu If the Engine Overheats 5. Look for any obvious coolant leaks, such as a split radiator hose. Everything is still extremely hot, so use caution. If you find a leak, it must be repaired before you continue driving (see Emergency Towing on page 313). 6. If you don't find an obvious leak, check the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank. Add coolant if the level is below the MIN mark. 7. If there was no coolant in the reserve tank, you may need to add coolant to the radiator. Let the engine cool down until the high temperature indicator goes off before checking the radiator. 304 Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap. 8. Using gloves or a large heavy cloth, turn the radiator cap counterclockwise, without pushing down, to the first stop. After the pressure releases, push down on the cap, and turn it until it comes off. 9. Start the engine, and set the temperature control dial to maximum heat. Add coolant to the radiator up to the base of the filler neck. If you do not have the proper coolant mixture available, you can add plain water. Remember to have the cooling system drained and refilled with the proper mixture as soon as you can. 10. Put the radiator cap back on tightly. Run the engine, and check the high temperature indicator. If it begins to blink or comes on again, the engine needs repair (see Emergency Towing on page 313). 11. If the temperature stays normal, check the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank. If it has gone down, add coolant to the MAX mark. Put the cap back on tightly. 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu Low Oil Pressure Indicator, Charging System Indicator Low Oil Pressure Indicator This indicator should never come on when the engine is running. If it starts flashing or stays on, the oil pressure has dropped very low or lost pressure. Serious engine damage is possible, and you should take immediate action. Running the engine with low oil pressure can cause serious mechanical damage almost immediately. Turn off the engine as soon as you can safely get the vehicle stopped. 1. Safely pull off the road, and shut off the engine. Turn on the hazard warning lights. 2. Let the vehicle sit for a minute. Open the hood, and check the oil level (see page 204). An engine very low on oil can lose pressure during cornering and other driving maneuvers. 3. If necessary, add oil to bring the level back to the full mark on the dipstick (see page 255). 4. Start the engine, and watch the oil pressure indicator. If it does not go out within 10 seconds, turn off the engine. There is a mechanical problem that needs to be repaired before you can continue driving (see Emergency Towing on page 313). Charging System Indicator If the charging system indicator comes on brightly when the engine is running, the battery is not being charged. Immediately turn off all electrical accessories. Try not to use other electrically operated controls such as the power windows. Keep the engine running; starting the engine will discharge the battery rapidly. Go to a service station or garage where you can get technical assistance. 305 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu Malfunction Indicator Lamp If this indicator comes on while driving, it means one of the engine's emissions control systems may have a problem. Even though you may feel no difference in your vehicle's performance, it can reduce your fuel economy and cause increased emissions. Continued operation may cause serious damage. If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the indicator coming on could be due to a loose or missing fuel fill cap. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message on the information display. Tighten the cap until it clicks at least once. Tightening the cap will not turn the indicator off immediately; it can take several days of normal driving. If the indicator comes on repeatedly, even though it may go off as you continue driving, have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible. If you keep driving with the malfunction indicator lamp on, you can damage your vehicle's emissions controls and engine. Those repairs may not be covered by your vehicle's warranties. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the malfunction indicator lamp may also come on with the ‘‘D’’ indicator. 306 Readiness Codes Your vehicle has certain ‘‘readiness codes’’ that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. In some states, part of the emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set. If they are not set, the test cannot be completed. If the battery in your vehicle has been disconnected or gone dead, these codes are erased. It can take several days of driving under various conditions to set the codes again. To check if they are set, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, without starting the engine. The malfunction indicator lamp will come on for 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set. If possible, do not take your vehicle for an emissions test until the readiness codes are set. Refer to Emissions Testing for more information (see page 331). 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu U.S. Canada Brake System Indicator (Red) The brake system indicator (red) normally comes on when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, and as a reminder to check the parking brake. It will stay on if you do not fully release the parking brake. If the brake system indicator (red) comes on while driving, the brake fluid level is probably low. Press lightly on the brake pedal to see if it feels normal. If it does, check the brake fluid level the next time you stop at a service station (see page 263). If the fluid level is low, take your vehicle to a dealer, and have the brake system inspected for leaks or worn brake pads/shoes. However, if the brake pedal does not feel normal, you should take immediate action. A problem in one part of the system's dual circuit design will still give you braking at two wheels. You will feel the brake pedal go down much farther before the vehicle begins to slow down, and you will have to press harder on the pedal. Slow down by shifting to a lower gear, and pull to the side of the road when it is safe. Because of the long distance needed to stop, it is hazardous to drive the vehicle. You should have it towed and repaired as soon as possible (see Emergency Towing on page 313). If you must drive the vehicle a short distance in this condition, drive slowly and carefully. Brake System Indicator If the ABS indicator and the VSA system indicator (if equipped) come on with the brake system indicator, have your vehicle inspected by your dealer immediately. 307 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu Fuses INTERIOR INTERIOR UNDER-HOOD (On Battery) FUSE LID FUSE LABEL The vehicle's fuses are contained in two fuse boxes. The interior fuse box is behind the fuse lid. To access it, pull the fuse lid toward you. The under-hood fuse box is on the positive terminal of the battery. 308 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu FUSE Fuses BLOWN FUSE PULLER 3. Check each of the large fuses in the under-hood fuse box and the interior fuse box by looking through the top at the wire inside. 4. Check all smaller fuses in the interior fuse box by pulling out each one with the fuse puller provided in the interior fuse box. Checking and Replacing Fuses If something electrical in your vehicle stops working, check for a blown fuse first. Determine from the chart on pages 311 and 312, or the diagram on the fuse label, which fuse or fuses control that device. Check those fuses first, but check all the fuses before deciding that a blown fuse is the cause. Replace any blown fuses, and check if the device works. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. Make sure the headlights and all other accessories are off. 2. On the under-hood fuse box, remove the cover from the fuse box. On the interior fuse box, pull the fuse lid toward you. CONTINUED 309 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu Fuses BLOWN 5. Look for a blown wire inside the fuse. If it is blown, replace it with one of the spare fuses of the same rating or lower. If you cannot drive the vehicle without fixing the problem, and you do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the same rating or a lower rating from one of the other circuits. Make sure you can do without that circuit temporarily (such as the accessory power socket or radio). 310 If you replace the blown fuse with a spare fuse that has a lower rating, it might blow out again. This does not indicate anything is wrong. Replace the fuse with one of the correct rating as soon as you can. Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system. If you do not have a replacement fuse with the proper rating for the circuit, install one with a lower rating. 6. If the replacement fuse of the same rating blows in a short time, there is probably a serious electrical problem in your vehicle. Leave the blown fuse in that circuit and have your vehicle checked by a qualified technician. Onvehicleswithoutnavigationsystem When the audio system is disabled, the clock setting in the audio system will be canceled. You will need to reset the clock (see page 193). Onvehicleswithnavigationsystem The navigation system will also disable itself. The next time you turn on the ignition switch, the system will require you to enter ‘‘ENTER CODE’’ before it can be used.

This is the best way to transport your vehicle. Wheel-liftEquipment－ The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to tow your vehicle. If, due to damage, your vehicle must be towed with the front wheels on the ground, do this: Manualtransmission: ● Release the parking brake. ● Shift the transmission to neutral. ● Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position so the steering wheel does not lock. Automatictransmission: ● Start the engine. ● Shift to the D position and hold for 5 seconds, then to N. ● Turn off the engine. ● Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position so the steering wheel does not lock. ● Release the parking brake. Emergency Towing Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine (automatic transmission), your vehicle must be transported with the front wheels off the ground. With the front wheels on the ground, it is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 miles (80 km), and keep the speed below 35 mph (55 km/h).

For very short distances, such as freeing the vehicle, you can use the detachable towing hook that mounts on the anchor in the front bumper. Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight. The steering system can be damaged if the steering wheel is locked. Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position, and make sure the steering wheel turns freely before you begin towing. 314 To use the towing hook: 1. Take the towing hook and the extension out of the tool kit in the cargo area. 2. Put a cloth on the notch of the cover. Using the extension, carefully pry on the notch of the cover to remove it. 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck To avoid damage to your vehicle, use the towing hook for straight, flat ground towing only. Do not tow at an angle. The tow hook should not be used to tow the vehicle onto a flat bed. Do not use it as a tie down. 3. Screw the towing hook into the bolt hole behind the bumper, then tighten the hook securely with the extension. 315 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu 316 10/08/06 13:54:35 11 FIT MMC North America Owner's Manual 50 31TK6620 enu The diagrams in this section give you the dimensions and capacities of your vehicle and the locations of the identification numbers.
