Inspecting and Changing Fuses

NOTICE

Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating
greatly increases the chances of damaging the
electrical system.

Replace fuse with a spare fuse of the same specified
amperage.
Confirm the specified amperage using the charts on
P. to 556.

There is a fuse puller on the back of the engine
compartment fuse box cover.

Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

■

Flat bed equipment

The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way you can safely transport your vehicle.

■

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.

Emergency Towing

NOTICE

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.

NOTICE

Improper towing such as towing behind a
motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
transmission.

Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.
It is very dangerous, since ropes or chains may shift
from side to side or break.

Reporting Safety Defects

In the U.S.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to
notifying American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists
in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between you, your dealer, or American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-
9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,
Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://
www.safercar.gov.

In Canada
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform Honda Canada Inc. and you may also inform Transport Canada.

If Transport Canada receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may lead to a recall and remedy campaign. However, Transport Canada
cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Honda Canada Inc.

To contact Transport Canada’s Defect Investigations and Recalls Division, you may call 1-800-333-0510. For

Emissions Testing

Testing of Readiness Codes

Your vehicle has readiness code as part of the onboard self diagnostic system. Some
States use these codes for testing to verify whether your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly.
The codes may not be read properly if testing is performed just after the battery has
gone dead or been disconnected.

To check if they are set, set the power mode to ON, without starting the engine. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it then 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 ready,
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

(

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.

1

Testing of Readiness Codes

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.

If the testing facility determines the readiness codes
are still not set, see a dealer.
