If the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Indicator
Comes On

■

Reasons for the indicator to come on

• Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine

speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.

• Comes on when EPS steering angle center point memory is lost. This

could be due to a number of problems to include: battery disconnect,
main fuse blow, low battery causing reset of the EPS system, wire
damage to EPS harness. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low

expected

If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or
Blinks

■

Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink

A tire pressure is significantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.
If there is a problem with the TPMS or the compact spare tire is installed,
the indicator blinks for about one minute, and then stays on.

■

What to do when the indicator comes on

Drive carefully avoiding abrupt cornering and hard braking.
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 side doorjamb.

u

Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.

2 TPMS Calibration P. 518

■

What to do when the indicator blinks, then remains on

Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire causes the indicator to blink, change the tire to a full-size tire.
The indicator will go off after driving for a few miles (kilometers).

u

Calibrate the TPMS after a full-size tire is reinstalled.

inflate your tires to the prescribed level.

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.

Use the charts to locate the fuse in question and
conform the specific amperage on the fuse label.

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 to 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.

1

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.

Make sure the parking brake is released. If you
cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must
be transported by the flat bed equipment.

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
