Inspecting and Changing Fuses

1. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF 

(LOCK). Turn headlights and all accessories 
off.

2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine 

compartment.

u

If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head 
screwdriver to remove the screw and 
replace it with a new one.

4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine 

compartment and the vehicle interior.

u

If there is a blown fuse, remove it with 
the fuse puller and replace it with a new 
one.

1

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.
Confirm the specified amperage using the charts on  
P. 553 to 556.

There is a fuse puller on the back of the engine 
compartment fuse box cover.

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 you can safely 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.

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.

Emissions Testing

Testing of Readiness Codes

Your vehicle has readiness code as part of the onboard self diagnostic system. Some 
States use these codes for testing to verify whether your vehicle’s emissions 
components are working properly.
The codes may not be read properly if testing is performed just after the battery has 
gone dead or been disconnected.

To check if they are set, set the power mode to ON, without starting the engine. The 
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it then goes off, the 
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.

If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are ready, 
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:

1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20 

seconds.

5. Keep the vehicle in 

(

P.

Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.

6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.

Testing of Readiness Codes

The readiness codes are erased when the battery is 
disconnected, and set again only after several days of 
driving under a variety of conditions.

If a testing facility determines that the readiness 
codes are not set, you may be requested to return at 
a later date to complete the test.

If the testing facility determines the readiness codes 
are still not set, see a dealer.
