For Safe Driving
The following pages explain your vehicle's safety features and how to use them
properly. The safety precautions below are ones that we consider to be among the
most important.
Safe Driving
Important Safety Precautions
■ Always wear your seat belt
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.
■ Restrain all children
Children aged 12 and under should ride properly restrained in a back seat, not the
front seat. Infants and small children should be restrained in a child restraint system.
Larger children should use a booster seat and a lap/shoulder seat belt until they can
use the belt properly without a booster seat.
■ Be aware of airbag hazards
While airbags can save lives, they can cause serious or fatal injuries to occupants
who sit too close to them, or are not properly restrained. Infants, young children,
and short adults are at the greatest risk. Be sure to follow all instructions and
warnings in this manual.
■ Don't drink and drive
Alcohol and driving don't mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink.
So don't drink and drive, and don't let your friends drink and drive, either.

1Important Safety Precautions
Some countries prohibit the use of mobile phones
other than hands-free devices by the driver while
driving.
uuFor Safe DrivinguImportant Safety Precautions
■ Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
■ Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Safe Driving
Engaging in mobile 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.
■ Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tyre blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tyre pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.
■ Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle
Children, pets and people needing assistance left unattended in the vehicle may be
injured if they activate one or more of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the
vehicle to move, resulting in a crash in which they and/or another person(s) can be
injured or killed. Also, depending on the ambient temperature, the temperature of
the interior may reach extreme levels, which can result in harm or death. Even if the
climate control system is on, never leave them in the vehicle unattended as the
climate control system can shut off at any time.

About Your Seat Belts
Safe Driving
Seat belts are the single most effective safety device because they keep you
connected to the vehicle so that you can take advantage of many built-in safety
features. They also help keep you from being thrown against the inside of the
vehicle, against other passengers, or out of the vehicle. When worn properly, seat
belts also keep your body properly positioned in a crash so that you can take full
advantage of the additional protection provided by the airbags.
In addition, seat belts help protect you in almost every type of crash, including:
- frontal impacts
- side impacts
- rear impacts
- rollovers
1About Your Seat Belts
3 WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases
the chance of 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.
WARNING: Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of
the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
WARNING: Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the
protection for which they have been designed. A
slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded
to the wearer.
WARNING: Belts should not be worn with straps
twisted.
WARNING: Each belt assembly must only be used by
one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occupant’s lap.

■ 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.

Seat belts cannot completely protect you in every
crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your
risk of serious injury.
Most countries require you to wear seat belts. Take
time to familiarise with the legal requirements of the
countries in which you will drive.
Safe Driving
The front and rear outer/centre * 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

• Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
• Check that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
u If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Only
use a 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.

3 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.
WARNING: No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to remove

uuAirbagsuAirbag System Components
■ Important Facts About Your Airbags
What you should do: 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 attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together,
airbags and seat belts provide the best protection.
When driving, keep hands and arms out of the
deployment path of the front airbag by holding each
side of the steering wheel. Do not cross an arm over
the airbag cover.
Safe Driving
Airbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with
tremendous force. So, while airbags help save lives, they can cause burns, bruises,
and other minor injuries, and sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not
wearing their seat belts properly and sitting correctly.
1Important Facts About Your Airbags
Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that
can occur in a severe crash, even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags
deploy.
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.
47
uuAirbagsuTypes of Airbags
Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with front airbags:
• Airbag in front of the driver's seat.
• Airbag in front of the passenger's seat.
Safe Driving
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help to
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger.
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.
■ Housing Locations
The front airbags are housed in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver, and
in the dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
*1 : Models with the keyless access system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an ignition
switch.
48
1Types of Airbags
The airbags can inflate whenever the ignition switch
is in ON (w *1.
After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a
small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion
process of the inflator material and is not harmful.
People with respiratory problems may experience
some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
uuAirbagsuFront Airbags (SRS)
■ Operation
A frontal collision can be either head-on or angled between two vehicles, or when a
vehicle crashes into a stationary object, such as a concrete wall.
Safe Driving
Front airbags are designed to inflate during moderate-to-severe frontal collisions.
When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control
unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.
■ How the Front Airbags Work
While your seat belt restrains your torso, the
front airbag provides supplemental protection
for your head and chest.
The front airbags deflate immediately so that
they won't interfere with the driver's visibility
or the ability to steer or operate other
controls.
The total time for inflation and deflation is so fast that most occupants are not
aware that the airbags deployed until they see them lying in front of them.

uuAirbagsuFront Airbags (SRS)
■ When front airbags should not deploy
Safe Driving
50
Minor frontal crashes: Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and
help to save lives, not to prevent minor scrapes, or even broken bones that might
occur during a less than moderate-to-severe frontal crash.
Side impacts: Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration
causes a driver or front passenger to move towards the front of the vehicle. Front
airbags cannot provide any significant protection and are not designed to deploy in
such collisions.
Rear impacts: Head restraints and seat belts are your best protection during a rear
impact. Front airbags cannot provide any significant protection and are not designed
to deploy in such collisions.
Rollovers: Seat belts offer the best protection in a rollover. Because front airbags
could provide little if any protection, they are not designed to deploy during a
rollover.
■ When front airbags deploy with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration, a strong impact to the
vehicle framework or suspension might cause one or more of the airbags to deploy.
Examples include running into a curb, the edge of a hole, or other low fixed object
that causes a sudden deceleration in the vehicle chassis. Since the impact is
underneath the vehicle, damage may not be readily apparent.
■ When front airbags may not deploy, even though exterior damage
appears severe
Since crushable body parts absorb crash energy during an impact, the amount of
visible damage does not always indicate proper airbag operation. In fact, some
collisions can result in severe damage but no airbag deployment because the airbags
would not have been needed or would not have provided protection even if they
had deployed.

■ 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: front seat
belt tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.

Child Safety
Protecting Child Passengers
Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are
either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle crashes are the
number one cause of death of children aged 12 and under.
Children should sit properly restrained in a rear seat. This is because:
• An inflating front 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.
3 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 an approved child
restraint system. A larger child should be
properly restrained with a seat belt, using a
booster seat if necessary.
Safe Driving
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, infants and children should be
properly restrained when they ride in a vehicle.

1Selecting a Child Restraint System
The flexible type may not be available in your country.
Installation of a lower anchorage-compatible child
restraint system is simple.
Lower anchorage-compatible child restraint systems
have been developed to simplify the installation
process and reduce the likelihood of injuries caused
by incorrect installation.
Safe Driving
Some child restraint systems are lower anchorage compatible. Some have a rigidtype connector, while others have a flexible-type connector. Both are equally easy to
use. Some existing and previously owned child restraint systems can only be installed
using the seat belt. Whichever type your choose, follow the child restraint system
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.
We recommend a rear-facing or a front-facing Honda
genuine ISOFIX child restraint system for infants or
small children, respectively. Ask your dealer.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with lower anchorages, install a child
restraint system using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. This is
because all child restraint systems must be secured with the seat belt when the
lower anchorage system is not in use. In addition, the child restraint system
manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach an ISO FIX restraint
system once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child restraint system
owner’s manual for proper installation instructions.
■ Important consideration when selecting a child restraint system
Make sure the child restraint system meets the following three requirements:
• The child restraint system is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child restraint system is the correct type for the seating position.
• The child restraint system is compliant with safety standards. We recommend a
child restraint system compliant with UN Regulation No. 44 or the regulations of
the subject countries. Look for the approval mark on the system and the
manufacturer’s statement of compliance on the box.

Safety of Larger Children
■ Protecting Larger Children
Safe Driving
The following pages give instructions on how to check proper seat belt fit, what kind
of booster seat to use if one is needed, and important precautions for a child who
must sit in front.
■ Checking Seat Belt Fit
When a child is too big for a child restraint system, secure the child in a rear seat
using the lap/shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then
answer the following questions.
■ Checklist
• Do the child's knees bend comfortably over
the edge of the seat?
• Does the shoulder belt cross between the
child's neck and arm?
• Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as
possible, touching the child's thighs?
• Will the child be able to stay seated like this
for the whole trip?
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder
seat belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a
booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.

1Safety of Larger Children
3 WARNING
Allowing a child aged 12 or under to sit in
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,
have the child sit up properly and wear the
seat belt properly, using a booster seat if
needed.
uuChild SafetyuSafety of Larger Children
■ Booster Seats
1Booster Seats
When installing a booster seat, make sure to read the
instructions that came with it, and install the seat
accordingly.
There are high- and low-type booster seats. Choose a
booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat
belt correctly.
Safe Driving
If a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used
properly, position the child in a booster seat in
the rear seat. For the child's safety, check that
the child meets the booster seat
manufacturer's recommendations.
We recommend a booster seat with a backrest as it is
easier to adjust the shoulder belt.
Guide
A backrest is available for a specific booster
seat. Install the backrest to the booster seat
and adjust it to the vehicle seat according to
the booster seat manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure the seat belt is properly routed
through the guide at the shoulder of the backrest and the belt does not touch and cross the
child’s neck.

■ Protecting Larger Children - Final Checks
Safe Driving
Your vehicle has a rear seat where children can be properly restrained. If you ever
have to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front:
• Make sure you read and fully understand the instructions and safety information
in this manual.
• Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
• Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat.
• Check that the seat belt is properly positioned so that the child is secure in the
seat.
■ Monitoring child passengers
We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on child passengers. Even older, more
mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts and sit up
properly.

Exhaust Gas Hazard
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colourless,
odourless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle,
carbon monoxide gas will not get into the interior.
• 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, airflow 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 heating and cooling system */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.

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.
Safe Driving
■ Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever
1Carbon Monoxide Gas
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up
with carbon monoxide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed.

between your chest and the airbag cover in

Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the
occupant's chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the
chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a
seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in
serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position,
and sit well back in the seat.
Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the
seat-back and your back.

The front seat passenger should also adjust
their seat-back to a comfortable, upright

Check the following items before you start driving.
■ Exterior Checks
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of
vision while driving. If frozen solid, remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheels, be sure not to damage the wheel
or wheel components.
• Make sure the bonnet is securely closed.
u If the bonnet opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tyres are in good condition.
u Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.

2 Checking and Maintaining Tyres P. 276
• Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
u There are blind spots from the inside.
1Exterior Checks
NOTICE
When 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.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite
flammable materials left under the bonnet, 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 bonnet for
leftover flammable materials after you or someone
else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.

Precautions While Driving
■ In a Fog
1Precautions While Driving
Visibility becomes low when it is foggy. When you drive, turn on the low beam
headlights even during the daytime. Slow down, using the road line in the centre,
guard rails, and the taillights of the vehicle ahead of you as your driving guide.
■ In a Strong Wind
CAUTION: Do not drive on the road where water is
deep. Driving through deep water will cause damage
to the engine and electrical equipment and the
vehicle will break down.
NOTICE
If a strong side wind drifts your vehicle while driving, hold the steering wheel tight.
Slowly decelerate your vehicle and keep your vehicle in the middle of the road. Be
careful with wind gusts especially when your vehicle is exiting a tunnel, driving on a
bridge or river bank, and driving through an open area like a quarry, and when a
large lorry is passing by.
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the
accelerator pedal. You could damage the
transmission.
NOTICE
Driving
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in
the full left or right position for a while, the electric
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system
goes into a protective mode, and limits its
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,
the EPS system is restored. Repeated operation under
these conditions can eventually damage the system.
If the ignition switch is turned to ACCESSORY (q *1
while driving, the engine will shut down and all
steering and brake power assist functions will stop,
making it difficult to control the vehicle.
Do not put the transmission into (N , as you will lose
engine braking (and acceleration) performance.
*1 : Models with the keyless access system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an ignition
switch.
Continued
215
uuWhen DrivinguContinuously Variable Transmission *
■ In Rain
The road is slippery when raining. Avoid hard braking, rapid acceleration, and
abrupt steering and be more cautions when driving. It is likely to experience
hydroplaning phenomenon if you are driving on a rutted road with puddles. Do not
drive in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the engine or driveline,
or cause electrical component failure.
1Precautions While Driving
During the first 1,000 km of operation, avoid sudden
acceleration or full throttle operation so as not to
damage the engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the first 300 km.
You should also follow this when the brake pads are
replaced.
■ Other Precautions
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.
Continuously Variable Transmission *
Driving
■ Creeping
The engine runs at a higher idle speed and creeping increases.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.
■ Kickdown
Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill may cause the
transmission to drop to a lower ratio, unexpectedly increasing vehicle speed.
Depress the accelerator pedal carefully, especially on slippery roads and curves.
216
* Not available on all models
1In Rain
Be careful when hydroplaning phenomenon occurs.
When you drive on a road covered with water at
excessive speed, a layer of water builds between the
tyres and the road surface. If this occurs, the vehicle
cannot respond to control inputs such as steering,
and braking.
Slowly decelerate when you shift down. If the road is
slippery, sudden engine braking can cause the tyres
to skid.

17-Speed Manual Shift Mode
Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 7th speeds without releasing
your hands from the steering wheel. The transmission switches to the 7-speed
manual shift mode when you pull a paddle shifter while driving. This mode is useful
when engine braking is needed.
■ When the shift lever is in (D :
The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode temporarily, and the
number is displayed in the shift indicator.
The 7-speed manual shift mode is cancelled automatically if you drive at constant
speed or accelerate, and the number in the shift indicator goes off.
You can cancel this mode by pulling the
paddle shifter for a few seconds.
The 7-speed manual shift mode is especially useful when reducing the vehicle speed
temporarily before making a turn.
The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode. The M indicator and the
speed number are displayed in the shift indicator. As the vehicle speed slows down,
the transmission automatically shifts down accordingly. When the vehicle comes to
a stop, it automatically shifts down into 1st.
When the engine speed reaches near the
tachometer’s red zone, the transmission shifts up
automatically.
When the engine speed reaches the lowest threshold
of the selected speed position, the transmission shifts
down automatically.
Operating the paddle shifters on slippery surfaces
may cause the tyres to lock up. In this case, the 7speed manual shift mode is cancelled and goes back
to the normal (D driving mode.
Driving
■ When the shift lever is in (S :
In the 7-speed manual shift mode, the transmission
shifts up or down by operating either paddle shifter
under the following conditions:
Shift Up: The engine speed reaches the lowest
threshold of the higher speed position.
Shift Down: The engine speed reaches the highest
threshold of the lower speed position.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engine speed reaches near the tachometer’s

clutch to wear out faster.
Before downshifting, make sure the engine will not
go into the tachometer's red zone. Should this occur,
it can severely damage your engine.
NOTICE
Driving
There is a metallic part on the shift lever. If you leave
the vehicle parked outside for a long time on a hot
day, be careful before moving the shift lever. Because
of heat, the shift lever may be extremely hot. If the
outside temperature is low, the shift lever may feel
cold.

uuBrakinguBrake System
■ Foot Brake
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at the front, and drum brakes in the rear
wheels. A vacuum power assist helps reduce the effort needed on the brake pedal.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering control when braking very
hard.
2 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) P. 229
1Foot Brake
Check the brakes after driving through deep water,
or if there is a buildup of road surface water. If
necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the
pedal several times.
If you hear a continuous metallic friction sound when
applying the brakes, the brake pads need to be
replaced. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
Constantly using the brake pedal while going down a
long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake
effectiveness. Apply engine braking by taking your
foot off the accelerator pedal and downshifting to a
lower gear/speed position. With manual transmission
use a lower gear for greater engine braking.
Driving
228
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving, as it will lightly apply the brakes and cause
them to lose effectiveness over time and reduce pad
life. It will also confuse drivers behind you.
uuBrakinguAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
■ ABS
Helps to prevent the wheels from locking up, and helps you retain steering control
by pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you.
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also
balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.
You should never pump the brake pedal. Let the ABS work for you by always
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. This is sometimes referred to as
"stomp and steer."
■ ABS operation
ABS may activate when you depress the brake pedal when driving on:
• Wet or snow covered roads.
• Roads paved with stone.
• Roads with uneven surfaces, such as potholes, cracks, manholes, etc.
When the vehicle speed goes under 10 km/h, the ABS stops.
NOTICE
The ABS may not function if you use a tyre of the
wrong size or type.
If the ABS indicator comes on while driving, there
may be a problem with the system. While normal
braking will not be affected, there is a possibility that
the ABS will not be operating. Have your vehicle
checked by a dealer immediately.
The ABS is not designed for the purpose of reducing
the time or distance it takes for a vehicle to stop: It is
designed to limit brake lockup which can lead to
skidding and loss of steering control.
In the following cases, your vehicle may need more
distance to stop than a vehicle without the ABS:
• You are driving on rough or uneven road surfaces,
such as gravel or snow.
Driving
The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when the ABS is working. Depress the brake
pedal and keep holding the pedal firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need to
press on the brake pedal very hard before the ABS activates. However, you may feel
the ABS activate immediately if you are trying to stop on snow or ice.
1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The following may be observed with the ABS system:
• Motor sounds coming from the engine
compartment when the brakes are applied, or
when system checks are being performed after the
engine has been started and while the vehicle
accelerates.
• Brake pedal and/or the vehicle body vibration when
ABS activates.
These vibrations and sounds are normal to ABS

the fuel tank so that fuel does not overflow as a result
of change in air temperature.
Do not continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has
automatically stopped. Additional fuel can exceed
the full tank capacity.

Safety When Performing Maintenance
Some of the most important safety precautions are given here.
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.
■ 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 bonnet.
u Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them causing a fire.
• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not petrol.
• Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or
compressed air.
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous and can kill you.
u Only operate the engine if there is sufficient ventilation.

Checking and Maintaining Tyres
Checking Tyres
To safely operate your vehicle, your tyres must be of the proper type and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
■ Inflation guidelines
Properly inflated tyres provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label for the specified pressure.
Underinflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and
are more likely to fail from overheating.
Overinflated tyres make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards,
and wear unevenly.
Every day before you drive, look at each of the tyres. If one looks lower than the
others, check the pressure with a tyre gauge.
3 WARNING
Using tyres 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 tyre inflation and
maintenance.
Measure the air pressure when tyres are cold. This
means the vehicle has been parked for at least three
hours, or driven less than 1.6 km. If necessary, add or
release air until the specified pressure is reached.
Maintenance
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in
all tyres, including the spare. Even tyres in good condition can lose 10-20 kPa
(0.1-0.2 kgf/cm2, 1-2 psi) per month.
If checked when hot, tyre pressure can be as much as
30–40 kPa (0.3–0.4 kgf/cm2, 4–6 psi) higher than if
checked when cold.
■ Inspection guidelines
Have a dealer check the tyres if you feel a consistent
vibration while driving. New tyres and any that have
been removed and reinstalled should be properly
balanced.
Every time you check inflation, also examine the tyres and valve stems.
Look for:
• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any cuts,
splits, or cracks in the side of the tyre. Replace it if you see fabric or cord.
• Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks.
• Uneven tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
• Excessive tread wear.
2 Wear Indicators P. 277
• Cracks or other damage around valve stem.

1Checking Tyres
uuChecking and Maintaining TyresuWear Indicators
Wear Indicators
Example of a Wear
Indicator mark
The groove where the wear indicator is
located is 1.6 mm shallower than elsewhere
on the tyre. If the tread has worn so that the
indicator is exposed, replace the tyre.
Worn out tyres have poor traction on wet
roads.
Tyre Service Life
The life of your tyres is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tyres are not in use).
Maintenance
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tyres reach five
years old. All tyres, including the spare, should be removed from service after 10
years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.
277
uuChecking and Maintaining TyresuTyre and Wheel Replacement
Tyre and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tyres with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tyre pressure rating (as shown on the tyre’s sidewall).
Using tyres of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems such
as the ABS and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system * to work incorrectly.
It is best to replace all four tyres at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the
front or rear tyres in pairs.
Make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheels.
