In Case of Emergency
Reverse this procedure to store
the spare tire. Connect the spare
tire to the bracket with the outside
of the wheel facing up. Make sure
the tire does not catch on any part
of the underbody of the vehicle as
you are raising it, and that the
spare tire is stored securely before
driving.
If the engine overheats:
•
The engine coolant temperature
gauge pointer will move up to
the “
H
” or higher.
•
Engine “ping” will become
excessive.
•
Loss of engine power will be
noticed.
•
Either steam or boiling water
will squirt out of the radiator.
If you find that the engine is
overheating:
•
Stop the vehicle, and turn on
the hazard warning lights.
•
If you see or hear steam or
coolant coming from the
engine compartment, turn off
the engine immediately.
Steam and spray from an
overheated engine can
seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam
is coming out.
•
If you do not see or hear steam
or spray, turn off the
A/C
(if
on) and run the engine at a
speed slightly higher than idle
speed (about 1,500 rpm) for
several minutes. Watch the
coolant temperature gauge. If it
remains at the “
H
” mark, turn
off the engine.
•
Open the hood only after all
signs of steam or hot coolant
spray have stopped. Look for
signs of an obvious leak, such
as a split radiator hose. If you

In Case of Emergency
find a leak, it must be repaired
before you can continue
driving. (See Towing on page
.)
•
If you don’t find an obvious
leak, check the coolant level in
the radiator reserve tank. If the
level is below the
MIN
mark, add
coolant to halfway between the
MIN
and
MAX
marks.
•
If there was no coolant in the
reserve tank, you may also
have to add coolant to the
radiator.
Let the engine cool down until
the pointer reaches the middle
of the temperature gauge, or
lower, before checking the
radiator.
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.
•
If needed, add coolant to the
radiator to bring the level up to
the filler neck, and to the
reservoir up to the level
indicated on the reservoir tank.
Proper equipment must be used to
prevent damage to vehicles during
any towing. State and local laws
that apply to vehicles in tow must
be followed. Get detailed towing
instructions from your Honda
dealer.
Should it become necessary to
tow your vehicle, follow these
directions.
Precautions
•
Before towing, make sure that
the power train, axle,
transmission, wheels and
steering system are in good
condition.
If any of these items are
damaged, a flatbed trailer must
be used.
Towing
Main Menu
Table of Contents
192
In Case of Emergency
•
Use only towing equipment
specifically designed for this
purpose, following the
instructions of the equipment
manufacturer. A separate safety
chain system must be used.
•
For such towing, the parking
brake must be released, the
transmission must be in neutral
and the key switch turned to
the “
OFF
” position (not
“
LOCK
”).
•
Towing attachments must be
made to main structural
members of the vehicle. Do not
attach to bumpers or associated
brackets.
•
Remember that the power
brake assist will not be
available when the engine is
inoperative.
Towing Tips
All Four Wheels on the Ground
1. Transfer case in 2
H
(4
WD
model only).
2. Transmission in Neutral
position.
3. Maximum speed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
4. Maximum distance 50 miles
(80 kilometers).
If you are towing the vehicle at
distances and speeds greater than
shown, disconnect the propeller
shaft from the rear axle carrier.
On 4
WD
models, also disconnect
the front propeller shaft. Safely
secure the propeller shafts so they
will not fall and scrape the
ground.
Front Wheels off the Ground
1. Transfer case in 2
H
(4
WD
model only).
2. Transmission in Neutral
position.
3. Maximum speed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
4. Maximum distance 50 miles
(80 kilometers).
If you are towing the vehicle at
distances and speeds greater than
shown, disconnect the propeller
shaft from the rear axle carrier.
Safely secure the propeller shaft
so it will not fall and scrape the
ground.

In Case of Emergency
Rear Wheels off the Ground
1. Transfer case in 2
H
(4
WD
model only).
2. Transmission in Neutral
position.
3. Maximum speed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
4. Maximum distance 50 miles
(80 kilometers).
If you need to tow your vehicle by
this method, secure the steering
wheel to keep the front wheels
pointed straight ahead. Do not
rely on the steering column lock;
it is not strong enough to hold the
front wheels straight while
towing. The ignition switch must
be in the
OFF
position.
If you have electrical problems
without extreme damage to any
electrical parts, check for burned
out fuses, broken wires, poor
connections or poor grounding.
Correct as necessary.
The fuse boxes are located under
the left hand side of the
instrument panel and in the right
hand side of the engine
compartment. (See “Fuses” on
page
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.

Care and Maintenance
To Close
1. Lift the hood slightly to remove
tension from the support rod.
2. Place the support rod in its
retaining clip and lower the
hood.
Always make sure the hood is
securely latched before you begin
driving.
Engine Oil Dipstick
Check the oil level when the
engine is off and the oil is warm,
such as during a fuel stop. See
page
Your Honda operates most
effectively on unleaded gasoline
with a pump octane number of
or higher. Use of a lower octane
gasoline can cause a persistent,
heavy metallic rapping noise in
the engine that can lead to
mechanical damage.
We recommend gasolines containing
detergent additives that help prevent
fuel system and engine deposits.
Using gasoline containing lead will
damage your vehicle’s emission
controls. This contributes to air
pollution and can void certain parts
of your warranty.
Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional gasolines are
being blended with alcohol or an
ether compound. These gasolines
are collectively referred to as
oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air
Fuel Requirements
Main Menu
Table of Contents
201
Care and Maintenance
standards, some areas of the United
States and Canada use oxygenated
fuels to help reduce emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be
sure it is unleaded and meets the
minimum octane rating requirement.
Before using an oxygenated fuel,
try to confirm the fuel’s contents.
Some states/provinces require this
information to be posted on the
pump.
The following are the EPA-approved
percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL
(ethyl or grain alcohol).
You may use gasoline containing up
to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline
containing ethanol may be marketed
under the name “Gasohol.”
MTBE
(Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether). You may use gasoline
containing up to 15%
MTBE
by
volume.
METHANOL
(methyl or wood
alcohol). Your vehicle was not
designed to use fuel that contains
methanol. Methanol can corrode
metal parts in the fuel system, and
also damage plastic and rubber
components. This damage would not
be covered by your warranties.
If you notice any undesirable
operating symptoms, try another
service station or switch to another
brand of gasoline.
Fuel system damage or performance
problems resulting from the use of
an oxygenated fuel containing
more than the percentages of
oxygenates given above are not
covered under warranty.
Regularly maintaining your
vehicle is the best way to protect
your investment. Proper
maintenance is essential to your
safety and the safety of your
passengers. It will also reward
you with more economical,
trouble-free driving and help
reduce air pollution.
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 and
schedules in this owner’s
manual.

Care and Maintenance
This section includes instructions
for simple maintenance tasks,
such as checking and adding oil.
Any service items not detailed in
this section should be performed
by a Honda technician or other
qualified mechanic.
Some of the most important safety
precautions are given 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.
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 owner’s
manual.
Important Safety Precautions
Before you begin any
maintenance, make sure your
vehicle is parked on level ground
and that the parking brake is on.
Also, be sure the engine is off.
This will help to eliminate several
potential hazards:
•
Carbon monoxide poisoning
from engine exhaust.
Be sure
there is adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
•
Burns from hot parts. Let the
engine and exhaust system cool
before touching any parts.
•
Injury from moving parts. Do
not run the engine unless
instructed to do so.
Read the instructions before you
begin, and make sure you have
the tools and skills required.
To reduce the possibility of fire or
explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline or
batteries. Use a commercially
available degreaser or parts
cleaner, not gasoline, to clean
parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and
flames away from the battery and
all fuel-related parts.
You should wear eye protection
and protective clothing when
working near the battery or when
using compressed air.

Care and Maintenance
The Maintenance Schedule
specifies how often you should
have your vehicle serviced and
what things need attention. It is
essential that you have your
vehicle serviced as scheduled to
retain its high level of safety,
dependability, and emission
control performance.
The services and time or distance
intervals shown in the
maintenance schedule assume you
will use your vehicle as normal
transportation. You should:
•
Avoid exceeding your vehicle’s
load limit. This puts excess
stress on the engine, brakes, and
many other parts of your vehicle.
The load limit is shown on the
label on the driver’s doorjamb.
•
Operate your vehicle on
reasonable roads within the
legal speed limit.
•
Drive your vehicle regularly over
a distance of several miles
(kilometers).
•
Always use unleaded gasoline
with the proper octane rating
(see page
).
Your authorized Honda dealer
knows your vehicle best and can
provide competent, efficient
service. However, service at a
dealer is not mandatory to keep
your warranties in effect.
Maintenance may be done by any
qualified service facility or person
who is skilled in this type of
automotive service. Keep all the
receipts as proof of completion,
and have the person who does the
work fill out the Maintenance
Record. Check your warranty
booklet for more information.
We recommend the use of
Genuine Honda parts and fluids
whenever you have maintenance
done. These are manufactured to
the same high-quality standards as
the original components, so you
can be confident of their
performance and durability.
U.S. Vehicles:
Maintenance, replacement or repair
of emission control devices and
systems may be done by any
automotive repair establishment or
individual using parts that are
“certified” to EPA standards.
