Maintenance Schedule and Records
Your Honda automobile must be properly maintained to ensure that
it is in peak operating condition and the emission levels are within
the standards set by the Federal Clean Air Act.
The following instructions and maintenance procedures are based
on the assumption that your car will be used exclusively for the
purpose for which it was designed:
1. To carry passengers and cargo within the load limits shown on
the label in the glove box.
2. To be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal limits.
3. To generally be driven daily over a distance of several miles.
4. Use gasoline from pumps labeled unleaded, w i t h a pump octane
number of 86 or higher. The pump octane number is an average of
the Research (R) octane and Motor (M) octane numbers.
NOTE:
Failures which occur due to a lack of maintenance will not be
covered under warranty.
The Required Maintenance Schedule* specifies all maintenance
required to keep your car in peak operating condition. Work should
be done by a Honda dealer but may be done by any qualified service
facility or individual who is competent in this type of work.
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.
After the maintenance has been done, be sure to complete the
Maintenance Records on pages 61 — 63 . All required maintenance is
considered normal owner operating cost and you will be charged for
it by your dealer.
* Maintenance operations indicated by *4 are recommended by the
manufacturer for vehicle sold in California, but not required. Other
maintenance operations are required by California regulations and
condition the emission warranty. All operations (including *4) are
required for vehicles sold outside California.
