Help assure your car's future
reliability and performance by
paying extra attention to how you
drive during the first 600 miles

(1,000 km). During this period:

Avoid full-throttle starts and
rapid acceleration.

Avoid hard braking. New

brakes need to be broken-in by

moderate use for the first
200 miles (300 km).

You should follow these same
recommendations with an
overhauled or exchanged engine,

or when the brakes are replaced.

Gasoline

Your Honda is designed to

operate on unleaded gasoline with
a pump octane number of 86 or

higher. Use of a lower octane

gasoline can cause a persistent,
heavy metallic rapping noise in
the engine that can lead to

mechanical damage.

We recommend using gasoline

containing detergent additives that

help prevent fuel system and

engine deposits.

Using gasoline containing lead
will damage your car's emission
controls. This contributes to air

pollution.

In Canada, some gasolines contain
an octane-enhancing additive
called MMT. If you use such

gasolines, your emission control
system performance may deteriorate
and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp

on your instrument panel may turn
on. If this happens, contact your
authorized Honda dealer for service.

Oxygenated Fuels

Some conventional gasolines are

being blended with alcohol or an

ether compound. These gasolines
are collectively referred to as
oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air

standards, some areas of the United

States and Canada use oxygenated
fuels to help reduce emissions.

If you use an oxygenated fuel, be

sure it is unleaded and meets the

minimum octane rating requirement.

Before using an oxygenated fuel,
try to confirm the fuel's contents.

Some states/provinces require

this information to be posted on
the pump.
