What to Do
How It Works
T IRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Monitors the vehicle’s tire pressures.
1.Visually inspect the tires fordamage.
2.Use a tire air pressure gauge tocheck which tire(s) have lowpressure.
3. Inflate the tire(s), if necessary,to the recommended pressureslisted on the label on thedriver’s doorjamb.
When the tire pressure dropssignificantly below recommendedlevels, the low tire pressureindicator comes on.
If theTPMS indicator appears, theremay be a problem with the system.See your dealer.

SAFETY REMINDER
Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add tothe protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types ofcollisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young childrenare properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infantseat in the front passenger’s seat as the force of a deploying airbag can seriouslyinjure an infant.
FUEL RECOMMENDAT ION
• Only use unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or higher.• Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based fuel additive.Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT can deteriorate yourvehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emissions control system. Always useMMT-free gasoline if available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMTmay not be covered under warranty.
• “TOPTIER Detergent Gasoline” meets a new gasoline standard jointly establishedby leading automotive manufacturers to meet the needs of today's advancedengines. In most cases, qualifying gasoline retailers will identify their gasoline ashaving met “TOPTIER Detergent Gasoline” standards at the retail location. Thisfuel is guaranteed to contain the proper level of detergent additives and be free ofmetallic additives. This helps avoid build-up of deposits in your engine and emissioncontrol system. Because the level of detergency and harmful metallic additives(such as MMT) in gasoline vary in the market, Honda endorses the use of “TOPTIER Detergent Gasoline” where available to help maintain the performance andreliability of your vehicle. For more information, visit www.toptiergas.com.
• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car andinformation on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your dealer or visitOwner Link at www.owners.honda.com.
