n Disclaimer
The information and data contained herein are believed to be accurate and reliable. American
Honda Motor Co., Inc. makes no warranty of any kind and accepts no responsibility for the
results obtained through application of this information.
n Privacy Notice

n California Proposition 65 Warning
WARNING: This product contains or emits chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
n Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting
a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The
EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as law
enforcement that have the special equipment can read the information if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR. The data belong to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by
anyone else except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.
n Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record information about
powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions law requirements and/
or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It may also be combined with data
from other sources for research purposes, but it remains confidential. Some diagnostic and
maintenance information is uploaded to Honda upon vehicle start up.
n End User License Agreement
Your vehicle comes equipped with software, which is governed by the End User License
Agreement in this vehicle’s Owner’s Manual, and which contains a binding arbitration clause.
Please refer to the End User License Agreement for the terms and conditions governing your
use of the installed software, as well as the applications, services, functions, and content
provided through the software. Your use of the installed software will serve as your consent to
the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement.
You may opt out of the arbitration provisions within 30 days of your initial use of the Software by
sending a signed, written notice to HONDA at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Honda Automobile

SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety—and the safety of others—is very important and operating this vehicle
safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make informed
decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards
associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. Therefore, you must use your
own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them. Please
read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also help to keep
you and your passengers safe.
n Important Safety Precautions
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Secure all children in the proper restraint system.
• Be aware of airbag hazards.
• Don’t drink and drive.
• Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.
• Control your speed.
• Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
n Important Handling Information
Your vehicle has higher ground clearance than a
passenger vehicle designed for use only on pavement.
Higher ground clearance has many advantages for
off-highway driving. It allows you to travel over bumps,
obstacles, and rough terrain. It also provides good
visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier.
These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller and rides
higher off the ground, it has a higher center of gravity making it more susceptible
to tipping or roll over if you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. As a
reminder, make sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.
n Safety Messages
When you see the following messages throughout this guide, pay close attention.
DANGER You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.
WARNING You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.
CAUTION You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
NOTICE This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your
vehicle, other property, or the environment.
n Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
• The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
• The exhaust system may have been damaged.
• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airfl ow can pull exhaust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the tailgate
open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your parked
vehicle with the engine running.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness
and even kill you. Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you
to carbon monoxide.
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fi ll up with carbon monoxide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage door is
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.

Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped with
airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and wear
them properly.
n Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with emergency
locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely while keeping
some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor locks to
restrain your body. The rear passenger’s seat belts also have a lockable retractor for
use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enhance safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a moderate to severe
frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not severe enough to inflate the
front airbags.
n Proper Use of Seat Belts
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position
for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the effectiveness of
the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Regularly check the condition of your seat belts. Check for frays, cuts, burns, and
wear, and that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
• No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that does not
appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injury
or death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.
n Seat Belt Inspection
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
• Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
• Check that the latches and buckles work smoothly and the belts retract easily. If
a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Use only
mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make sure
the belt is completely dry before allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper
protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of
protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after
any collision.
WARNING
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or
death if the seat belts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon
as possible.

n Fastening a Seat Belt
Adjust your seat to the proper position (see), and then follow the steps.
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on
the belt to make sure the buckle is secure. Make
sure that the belt is not twisted or caught on
anything.

3. Position the lap part of the belt as low as possible
across your hips, then pull up on the shoulder part
of the belt so the lap part fits snugly. This lets your
strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash and
reduces the chance of internal injuries.

shoulder. This spreads the forces of a crash over
the strongest bones in your upper body.
To release the belt, push the red PRESS button
then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted
completely.

WARNING
Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death in
a crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
n Adjusting the Shoulder Anchor
The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller and shorter
occupants.
1. Move the anchor up and down while holding the
release button.
2. Position the anchor so that the belt rests across
the center of your chest and over your shoulder.
Push
Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags: front airbags, side airbags, and side
curtain airbags.
n Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They are housed
in the center of the steering wheel for the driver, and in the dashboard for the front
passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’s primary
restraint system.
n Advanced Airbags
The front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag
related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver’s advanced airbag system includes a seat
position sensor. Based on information from this sensor
and the severity of the impact, the advanced airbag
system determines the optimal deployment of the
driver’s airbag.
The front passenger’s advanced airbag system has
weight sensors.

We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under
to ride in the front passenger’s seat. However, if
you do allow a child age 12 or under to ride in the
front passenger’s seat, note that the system will
automatically turn off the front passenger’s airbag if
the sensors detect that the child is approximately 65
lbs (29 kg) or less.

For the advanced front airbags to work properly:
• Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
• Do not put any object under the passenger’s seat.
• Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the floor. Improperly positioned
objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
• All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
• Do not cover the passenger’s side dashboard with a cloth, towel, cover, etc.
• Make sure the floor mat behind the front passenger’s seat is hooked to the floor
mat anchor. An improperly placed mat can interfere with the advanced airbag
sensors.

n Side Airbags
The side airbags help protect the torso and pelvis of the driver or a front passenger
during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed in the outside edge of the
driver’s and front passenger’s seat-backs. Both are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
n Side Curtain Airbags
Side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in outer
seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain airbags
equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial
and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes,
particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling
above the side windows on both sides of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbags are designed to deploy in
a rollover or moderate-to-severe side impact. If the
SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is about
to roll over, it immediately deploys both side curtain
airbags and activates both front seat belt tensioners.
The airbag on the passenger’s side will deploy, even if
there are no passengers on that side of the vehicle.
Side Curtain Airbag Storage
To get the best protection from the side curtain
airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts
properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof
pillars, as they can interfere with the proper operation
of the side curtain airbags.
Deployed Side Curtain Airbag
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled frontal
collision.
n Important Facts About Your Airbags
Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A front
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possible.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp object in your
mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers. Objects on the covers
marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags or be
propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere with the
proper operation of the airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag inflates.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can interfere
with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers. This can prevent your side
airbags from properly deploying during a side impact.
WARNING
An open glove box can cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash,
even if the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always keep the glove box closed while driving.
n Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and a message
appears on the multi-information display.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicator
If the indicator comes on at any other time besides
vehicle start-up, or does not come on at all, have the
system checked by a dealer as soon as possible. If
you don’t, your airbags and seat belt tensioners may
not work properly when they are needed.
WARNING
Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the
airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.

Airbag System Indicators
The indicator comes on to alert you that the front
passenger’s front airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the front passenger’s weight
sensors detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an
infant or small child, on the seat.
U.S. Canada
Children age 12 or under should always ride properly restrained in a back seat.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy
and the indicator will not come on.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front passenger’s seat,
something may be interfering with the weight sensors, such as:
• An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
• A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’s seat.
• The front seat or seat-back is forced against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger’s seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as
possible.
The passenger airbag off indicator may go on and off repeatedly if the total weight
on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.

n Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer in the following situations:
When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the following: the
driver’s seat position sensor, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, front seat belt
tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.
Do not remove or modify a front seat without first consulting a dealer
This would likely disable the driver’s seat position sensor or the weight sensors
in the passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to
accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a Honda dealer. For U.S. vehicles,
call Honda Automobile Customer Service at (800) 999-1009. For Canadian vehicles,
call Honda Canada Customer Relations at (888) 946-6329.
Child Safety
Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are either
unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle collisions are the number one
cause of death of children ages 12 and under.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend
that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a rear seat. Some states or
provinces/territories have laws restricting where children may ride.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian province and
territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained when they ride
in a vehicle.
n Protecting Child Passengers
• An inflating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting in the front seat.
• A child in the front seat is more likely to interfere with the driver’s ability to safely
control the vehicle.
• Statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when they are
properly restrained in a rear seat.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in an
approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either the lap
belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH system.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjustments.
• Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate
vehicle controls, causing it to move unexpectedly.
WARNING
Children who are unrestrained or improperly restrained can be seriously
injured or killed in a crash.
Any child too small for a seat belt should be properly restrained in a child
seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt, using a
booster seat if necessary.

WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck can
result in serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unused
seat belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.
n Protecting Infants
An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the
infant reaches the seat manufacturer’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the
infant is at least one year old. Many experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat
for a child up to two years old if the child’s height and weight are appropriate for a
rear-facing seat.
Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear
seating position. Rear-facing child seats should never
be installed in a forward-facing position.
When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front
passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back
in the desired position. Make sure that there is no contact between the child seat
and the seat in front of it. If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child seat
directly behind the front passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as needed,
and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
WARNING
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious
injury or death during a crash.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.
n Protecting Smaller Children
If a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicated by the child
seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured
forward-facing child seat.
We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing
child seat in a rear seating position.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat
can be hazardous, even with advanced front airbags
that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag
off. A rear seat is the safest place for a child.
WARNING
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious
injury or death if the front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle
seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.
n Selecting a Child Seat
Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren).
Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a fl exible-type connector.
Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child seats can
only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child
seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions (including recommended expiration
dates) as well as the instructions in this manual. Proper installation is key to
maximizing your child’s safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible
child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security.
This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they can be
secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addition, the child
seat manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a LATCHcompatible
seat once a child reaches a specifi ed weight. Please read the child seat owner’s
manual for proper installation instructions.
Important considerations when selecting a child seat
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:
• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

n Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in any of the rear seats. A child seat
is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid or flexible type of connectors.
1. Locate the lower anchors under the marks.
2. Make sure there are no objects near the anchors
that could prevent a secure connection between
the child seat and the anchors.

6. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.
7. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it forward and back and
side to side; little movement should be felt.
8. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the lockable
retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and locked.
n Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat.
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the child seat
according to the seat manufacturer’s instructions,
and insert the latch plate into the buckle. Insert the
latch plate fully until it clicks.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor.
4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into the
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the
retractor is locked. If you are able to pull the
shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not
activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and
repeat steps 3 – 4.
5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the
buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from
the lap part of the belt. When doing this, place
your weight on the child seat and push it into the
vehicle seat.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; less
than one inch of movement should occur near the
seat belt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the lockable
retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and locked.
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind
up all the way.

n Adding Security with a Tether
Two tether anchorage points are provided behind the rear outer seating positions. A
child seat that is installed with a seat belt and comes with a tether can use the tether
for additional security.
1. For outer positions: Raise the outer head restraint
to its highest position, then route the tether strap
between the head restraint legs. Lift the cover then
hook the tether strap through the upper guide, then
downward to attach at the anchor on the outside
of the seat bottom. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.
For the center position: Lower the center head
restraint to its lowest position, then route the
tether strap through the upper guide, then down
the back of the seat, and secure the tether strap
hook onto the anchor. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.

To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind
up all the way.
n Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the lap/
shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:
• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge
of the seat.
• The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s
neck and arm.
• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs.
• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat in
a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the booster
seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to use a
booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs). Be sure
to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you intend to drive.
WARNING
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injury or
death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear
as possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt
properly, using a booster seat if needed.

Auto High Beam System*
Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights when
necessary.
n How It Works
When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight lever is
in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUTO, the system changes
between low and high beams depending on the brightness of the vehicle lights
ahead of you.
15-degrees
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams. If the system
does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change to high beams.
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles’ lights, can
affect system operation.
n Turning the System On or Off
Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam
position with the switch rotated to the AUTO position.
The auto high beam system indicator comes on.
To disable the system: Pull and hold the headlight lever
toward you for about 40 seconds, until the indicator
flashes twice.
To enable the system: Pull and hold the headlight lever
toward you for about 30 seconds, until the indicator
flashes once.
Headlight
switch
To temporarily cancel operation, do either of the following:
• Flash the high beams by moving the lever toward you. Flash the high beams
again to resume auto high beam operation.
• Engage high beams by moving the lever into the high beam position. Return the
lever to the low beam position to resume auto high beam operation.
*if equipped
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient for driving, change the beams
manually.
For the system to work properly:
• Do not place an object that reflects light on the dashboard.
• Keep the windshield around the camera clean. When cleaning the windshield, be
careful not to apply windshield cleanser to the camera lens.
• Do not attach an object, sticker or film in the area around the camera.
• Do not touch the camera lens.
If the camera receives a strong impact or requires repair, consult a dealer.
If you see the message “ Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate: Clean
Front Windshield,” park your vehicle in a safe place. Wipe away debris blocking the
windshield, then start driving again. If the message remains even after driving for a
while with the clean windshield, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
If you see a message that the camera is too hot, use the climate control system to
cool the interior. Defroster mode will direct airflow toward the camera.

n Adjusting the Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all
seating positions. Head restraints are most effective
for protection against whiplash and other rear-impact
crash injuries.
The center of the back of the occupant’s head should
rest against the center of the restraint. The tops of the
occupant’s ears should be level with the center height
of the restraint.
Position head in the
center of the head
restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward.
To lower the head restraint: Push it down while
pressing the release button.
To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint up as
far as it will go. Then press the release button(s), and
pull the restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs back in
place, then adjust the head restraint to an appropriate
height while pressing the release button(s). Pull up on
the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and
increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before
driving.
WARNING
Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can result in
severe injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.
WARNING
For a head restraint system to work properly:
• Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.
• Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
• Install each restraint in its proper location.
n Floor Mats
Position the front and rear seat floor mats properly,
and anchor them. If they are not properly positioned,
the floor mats can interfere with the front seat
functions.
Do not put additional floor mats on top of the
anchored mats.

Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features.
Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
n Exterior Checks
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
• Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
• Make sure the trunk is closed and locked.
• Make sure the tailgate is closed when not being used as an extended bed.
• Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left under
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass
and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials after you or
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
• Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any ice.
Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the doors.
When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE
n Interior Checks
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells.
Make sure to secure the floor mats.
• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in
the vehicle.
• Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate.
• Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
• Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll
under the seats.
• Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
• Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you start
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
In addition:
• During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acceleration or
full throttle operation so as to not damage the engine or powertrain.
• Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this
when the brake pads are replaced.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling,
and stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual regarding
accessories and modifications.
WARNING
n Driving Guidelines for Your Utility Vehicle
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
To prevent rollovers or loss of control:
• Take corners at slower speeds than you would with a passenger vehicle.
• Avoid sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers whenever possible.
• Do not modify your vehicle in any way that would raise its center of gravity.
• Never carry more than 165 lbs (75 kg) of cargo on the roof rack (Honda
accessory).
Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement, however, its higher
ground clearance allows you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads. It is not
designed for trail-blazing, or other challenging off-road activities.
If you decide to drive on unpaved roads, you will find that it requires somewhat
different driving skills and that your vehicle will handle somewhat differently than it
does on pavement. Pay attention to the precautions and tips in this section, and get
acquainted with your vehicle before leaving the pavement.
Improperly operating this vehicle on or off pavement can cause a crash
or rollover in which you and your passengers can be seriously injured or
killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in this owner’s guide.
• Keep your speed low, and don’t drive faster than conditions permit.

Maximum Load Limit
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle’s handling,
stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.
n Maximum Load for Your Vehicle
The maximum load for your vehicle type is:
• 2WD: 1,444 lbs (655 kg).
• AWD without moonroof: 1,543 lbs (700 kg).
• AWD with moonroof: 1,477 lbs (670 kg).
See the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Label example
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and
cause a crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
WARNING
Never let passengers ride in the pickup bed, in the trunk, or on the bed
rails. This could vause very serious injuries or death. No one should ride in
any position that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
WARNING
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory and does not need to be
adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area or pull a
trailer, have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified technician.
This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories,
and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Below are the steps for
determining the correct load limit:
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be
riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage
load capacity calculated in step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult the Owner’s Manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories, cargo,
and trailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label on the
driver’s doorjamb.

Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper
equipment, and follow the towing guidelines. See the Owner’s Manual at owners.honda.
com (U.S.) or www.myhonda.ca (Canada) for more information.
n Towing Load Limits
Total trailer weight
Do not exceed the maximum allowable weight of
the trailer, cargo, and everything in or on it shown in
the table below. Towing loads in excess of this can
seriously affect vehicle handling and performance and
can damage the engine and drivetrain.

3,500 lbs (1,587 kg)
3,250 lbs (1,474 kg)
3,000 lbs (1,360 kg)
Each weight limit is calculated based on the following conditions:
• Occupants fill seats from the front of the vehicle to the back.
• Each occupant weighs 150 lbs (68 kg).
• Each occupant has 15 lbs (7 kg) of cargo in the cargo area.
Any additional weight, cargo, or accessories reduce the maximum trailer weight and
maximum tongue load.
Tongue load
The weight of the tongue with a fully loaded trailer on
the hitch should be approximately:
• Boat trailers: 5 – 15% of the total trailer weight
• Other trailers: 10 – 15% of total trailer weight

495 lbs (224 kg)360 lbs (163 kg)
To estimate the tongue load
Excessive tongue load reduces front tire traction and steering control. Too little
tongue load can make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
You can estimate the tongue load by measuring the trailer hitch height from the
ground in the following steps:
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Measure the distance between the ground and the bottom of the trailer hitch.
3. Connect the fully loaded trailer to the hitch.
4. Measure the distance between the ground and the bottom of the trailer
hitch again.
5. Subtract the second measurement from the first measurement, then refer to the
following table.
If the difference is AWD models 2WD models
1 inches (2.5 cm) 150 lbs (68 kg)
1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm)250 lbs (114 kg)
2 inches (5.1 cm) 350 lbs (159 kg)
2 3/8 inches (6.0 cm)450 lbs (205 kg) —
2 5/8 inches (6.7 cm)500 lbs (227 kg) —
If the difference becomes more than indicated in the table, distribute the load or
remove cargo as needed.

How to weigh the trailer loads using a public scale
Check each weight in the order indicated as shown. Refer to the table below for
each weight’s limit except for the tongue load.
1. Front gross axle weight.
4. Gross combined weight.
2. Gross vehicle weight.
3. Rear gross axle weight.
5. Hitched trailer weight.
6. Unhitched trailer weight.
• If you cannot weigh the rear axle, subtract 1 from 2.
• The maximum gross combined weight (4) decreases by 2% for every 1,000 feet
(305 m) of elevation.
• To calculate the tongue load, subtract 5 from 6.
• Refer to the trailer owner’s manual for additional information.
Fully load the vehicle and trailer. An attendant who watches the scale is needed as
all occupants should stay in the vehicle.
If a public scale is not available,
add the estimated weight of
your cargo load to the weight
of your trailer (as quoted by
the manufacturer), and then
measure the tongue load with
an appropriate scale or tongue
gauge or estimate it based on
cargo distribution.

Pre-tow checklist
When preparing to tow, and before driving away, ensure the following:
• The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooling
system are in good operating condition.
• Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle’s first 600 miles (1,000 km).
• The trailer has been properly serviced and is in good condition.
• All weights and loads are within limits. Never exceed the gross weight ratings.
• Check if all loads are within limits at a public scale. If a public scale is not
available, add the estimated weight of your cargo load to the weight of your
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) and the tongue load.
• The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure.
• All items in or on the trailer are properly secured and cannot shift while you
drive.
Exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer can
cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting
to drive.
WARNING
Your vehicle should not be used to carry a slide-in camper. If you install a truck cap,
be sure it is properly installed and does not exceed your vehicle’s load limits (see
page 98).

Overheating
If the temperature gauge needle is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power, or
steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheating.
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn off
all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.
2. If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood.
If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine and
wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
Reserve tank
MIN MAX
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the temperature
gauge needle comes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop
the engine.
4. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the cooling
system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low, add
coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in the reserve tank,
make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator cap with a heavy cloth and
open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the filler neck, and put the
cap back on.
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone down,
contact a dealer for repairs.
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may damage
the engine.
NOTICE
Emergency Engine Stop
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an emergency
situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of the following
operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button
for two seconds, or
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button
three times.
The steering wheel will not lock. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY, unless the
shift lever is in Park (P), in which case the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
Because turning off the engine also disables the power assist the engine provides to the
steering and braking systems, it will require significantly more physical effort and time
to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if
necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine
to be switched off.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
Wheel lift equipment: 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.
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.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can
damage the transmission.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low,
the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message
appears on the multi-information display. The specific tire
with low pressure is displayed.
n What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure to
the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
n Tire Fill Assist
Your vehicle gives you visual and audible alerts to help you adjust the tire pressure
to its appropriate level when the vehicle is on.
While inflating: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash once every 5 seconds.
When the correct pressure is reached: The system beeps and the exterior lights
flash continuously for 5 seconds. Stop filling the tire.
If you overinflate: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash twice every
3 seconds.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
NOTICE
n Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Required Federal Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

MAINTENANCE
Learn about basic maintenance that you can perform on the vehicle yourself, as well as
information about how to best maintain the vehicle.
Safety Precautions
Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however, we cannot
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only
you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.
n Maintenance Safety
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames
away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood. Heat from
the engine and exhaust can ignite them causing a fire.
• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not
gasoline.
• Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or
compressed air.
• Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can
accumulate.
n Vehicle Safety
• The vehicle must be stationary, and parked on level ground with the parking
brake set and the engine off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
• Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
Improperly maintaining this vehicle or failing to correct a problem before
driving can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations
according to the schedules in this guide.
WARNING
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can
cause you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this guide.

Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If there is a
problem with the sensor, a message appears on the multi-information display. Have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
For jump starting, see page 125.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill
or seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and
a face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Window Washer Fluid
If the washer fluid level is low, fill the washer reservoir. You can check the level by
looking at the reservoir, or a message* will appear on the MID.
Pour the washer fluid carefully. Do not overflow the reservoir.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer
reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution can
damage the windshield washer pump.

Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
n Inflation Guidelines
• Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page 153)
for the specified pressure.
• Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
• Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
• Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add
or release air until the specified pressure is reached. If checked when hot, tire
pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi (30-40 kPa, 0.3-0.5 kgf/cm2) higher than
checked when cold.
• At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure
in all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1-2 psi
(10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm2) per month.
n Inspection Guidelines
Every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
• Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in the side
or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if
you see fabric or cord.
• Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
• Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
n Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.
Example of a wear
indicator mark
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation and
maintenance.

(do not exceed)
n Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a
different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems such as ABS and
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) to work incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at
the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels. Only use TPMS-specified wheels approved for your
vehicle.
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s
Manual.

n Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five
years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from service after
10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.
n Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow
tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between
vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the
same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
n Tire Chains
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire
clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
Cable type: SCC Super Z LT-ZT735
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch the brake
lines or suspension.
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can
damage your vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop
driving if they are hitting any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire
chains.
WARNING
Tire Labeling
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you
should be aware of are described below.
Here is an example of what each marking means:
P235/60R18 102V
• P: vehicle type (P indicates passenger vehicle)
• 235: tire width in millimeters
• 60: aspect ratio (tire section height as a
percentage of its width)
• R: tire construction code (radial)
• 18: rim diameter in inches
• 102: load index (code indicating maximum load
tire can carry)
• V: speed symbol (code indicating maximum
speed rating)

n Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identification number
(TIN) is a group of numbers and
letters that look like the example
below. TIN is located on the
sidewall of the tire.
DOT B97R FW6X 2209
DOT: This indicates that the tire meets all
requirements of the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
B97R: Manufacturer’s identification mark
FW6X: Tire type code

n Glossary of Tire Terminology
Cold Tire Pressure – The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been parked
for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Load Rating – The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given
inflation pressure.
Maximum Inflation Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the tire
can hold.
Maximum Load Rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum
permissible inflation pressure for that tire.
Recommended Inflation Pressure – The cold tire inflation pressure
recommended by the manufacturer.
Treadwear Indicators (TWI) – The projections within the principal grooves
designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.

DOT Tire Quality Grading
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety Requirements. All tires are also
graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according to Department
of Transportation (DOT) standards. The following explains these gradings.
n Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width.
For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to
these grades.
n Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For
example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
n Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance.
WARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
n Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained
high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet
under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required
by law.
WARNING: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible
tire failure.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has readiness codes as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. Some
states use these codes for testing to verify your vehicle’s emissions components are
working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the testing just after the
battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine. The malfunction
indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the readiness codes are
set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set,
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P). Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it
there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of
50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with the
vehicle in Drive. Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds
without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is OK.)
If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions, drive
for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions allow,
let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the
brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only
after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.
