Information Provided by:Break-in Period, Gasoline Type
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.
Do not tow a trailer.
You should also follow these recommendations with an overhauled or exchanged engine, or when the brakes are replaced.
Gasoline Type 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 quality gasolines 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
278
your dealer for service.
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 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.

Information Provided by: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 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
285
).
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 the proper operation of your vehicle.
) or interfere with
376
Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact your dealer. If possible, have your dealer inspect the final installation.
Information Provided by: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 the 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.
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.

Information Provided by:The maximum load for your vehicle is: LX model: 1,349 lbs (612 kg) EX model: 1,388 lbs (630 kg) EX with Leather: 1,322 lbs (600 kg) Touring model: 1,208 lbs (548 kg)
This figure includes, cargo, accessories, and the tongue weight if you are towing a trailer.
To determine the correct cargo and luggage load limit:
1.
Locate the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 1,208
lbs (548 kg)’’ on your vehicle’s
placard (on the driver’s doorjamb)
if your vehicle is the Touring
model, for example.
2.
Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
Carrying Cargo
3.
4.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from the maximum load.
The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
6.
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
For example, If your vehicle is the Touring model, and if there will be five 150 lbs (70 kg) occupants in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 458 lbs (198 kg). (350 kg) 1,208 lbs (548 kg) = 458 lbs (198 kg)
150 lbs (70 kg) = 750 lbs
