TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Monitors the vehicle's tire pressures.
How It Works
Each tire valve stem contains
a TPMS sensor.
When the tire pressure drops
significantly below recommended
levels, the low tire pressure
indicator comes on.
If the TPMS indicator appears, there
may be a problem with the system.
See your dealer.
What to Do
1. Visually inspect the tires for
damage.
2. Use a tire air pressure gauge to
check which tire(s) have low
pressure.
3. Inflate the tire(s), if necessary,
to the recommended pressures
listed on the label on the
driver's doorjamb.

SAFETY REMINDER
Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add to
the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types of
collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children
are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infant
seat in the front passenger's seat as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously
injure an infant.
FUEL RECOMMENDATION
• 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 your
vehicle's performance, fuel economy, and the emission control system. Always use
MMT-free gasoline if available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMT may
not be covered under warranty.
• "TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline" meets a new gasoline standard jointly established by
leading automotive manufacturers to meet the needs of today's advanced engines. In
most cases, qualifying gasoline retailers will identify their gasoline as having met "TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline" standards at the retail location. This fuel is guaranteed to
contain the proper level of detergent additives and be free of metallic additives. This
helps avoid build-up of deposits in your engine and emission control system. Because
the level of detergency and harmful metallic additives (such as MMT) in gasoline vary
in the market, Honda endorses the use of "TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline" where
available to help maintain the performance and reliability of your vehicle. For more
information, visit www.toptiergas.com.
• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car and information
on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your dealer or visit Owner Link at
