Methods of operation

Main cautions

The Honda car will provide to the owner optimum characteristics and will show high operational qualities on roads with a good and equal covering. It is promoted by a small road gleam and low-profile tires.

Be careful at movement on uneven roads and unpaved roads. Trips on them can lead to damage of a suspension bracket and/or bottom of the car. Show care when moving via special limiters of speed ("the lying police officer") which settle down directly on a roadbed, - overcoming them is at great speed also fraught with serious damages of a suspension bracket and/or bottom.

In order to avoid damage of a front or rear bumper, be careful at a congress from curbstones and ramps/ramps of trailers. Remember that the low suspension bracket does dangerous to this car of a vjezdn borders even of usual height.

Running in of the new car

To provide reliability and durability of the car in operation, throughout the first 600 km of a run it is necessary to follow the following rules:

a) Do not start on full gas, avoid sharp dispersals;
b) You do not brake too sharply. Normal extra earnings of new brake shoes happens over a run in 300 km during which it is necessary to brake, whenever possible, smoothly and with average intensity.
5 After repair or replacement of the engine, and also after replacement of brake shoes it is necessary to observe similar restrictions and recommendations.

Gas station of the car

Type of the applied fuel

For KY modifications:

The engine of the car is calculated a naekspluatation on ethylated gasoline with octane number 92 or above. Use of unleaded gasoline with octane number 92 or is higher also is admissible.

For all modifications, except KY:

Operation of cars with engines 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 of l has to be made on unleaded gasoline with octane number not lower than 95 (by a research method - AI).

With the engine of 2.2 l it is necessary to apply unleaded fuel with octane number to gas station of cars not lower than 98 (AI). Situations when gasoline with the required octane number is absent at gas station are possible. In these cases it is possible to apply gasoline with octane number 95. The control system of the engine adapts it to the used gasoline, however some decrease in the developed power as a result of such replacement becomes inevitable.

Operation of the car on ethylated gasoline can lead to failure of the catalytic converter, the engine. It is worth to remember also about a factor of environmental pollution.

Control operations

Gas station of the fuel tank

Gasoline is flammable and explosive substance. Careless handling of gasoline can lead to burns or other serious injuries. When filling the fuel tank switch off the engine you do not bring close to the fault opened a throat the heated or sparking objects, you do not smoke in the territory of gas station. Carry out all operations on service of fuel system only in the open air. At hit of splashes of gasoline on open sites of skin or on paint and varnish surfaces of body elements it is necessary to wipe them with dry rags immediately.

The filling mouth of a toplivnogobak is located on the left side of the car therefore it is necessary to approach a fuel-dispensing column at gas station the left board.

Open the hatch of a filling mouth of the fuel tank, having pulled for the handle close to a driver's seat, to the left of it.

Slowly turning, uncover a jellied mouth.

Otvorachivany covers can be followed by the characteristic hissing sound arising at an exit from a tank of fuel evaporations. On some models presence of the special holder who settles down on inside of the hatch is provided and it is intended for temporary fastening of a cover of a mouth of the fuel tank during gas station of the car.

Gas station should be stopped as soon as there was an automatic switching off of the pump of a fuel-dispensing column. Do not try to fill a tank over norm, - leave free space for expansion of fuel when heating.

Screw a cover on a filling mouth of the fuel tank and properly tighten it, - not less than two clicks of a clamp of a cover have to be heard.

Close the hatch and press it for a lock clamp zashchelkivaniye.

Opening of a cowl

Transfer the lever of switching of ranges of the automatic transmission to situation "P" or "N", cock the parking brake. Pull for the handle of unlocking of the lock of a cowl located at the left under the dashboard, the first line of a cowl has to rise a little.

Standing in front of the car, push fingers of the right hand under a first line of a cowl (to the right of the middle of a cowl), run a hand to the left and grope the handle of an additional latch of a cowl. Having delayed the handle up, take away a latch and release a cowl. Lift a cowl.

If the cowl opens without preliminary unlocking of an additional latch, or the shift of the handle is complicated and also in case the spring does not come back to a starting position, it is necessary to clean and grease the latch mechanism.

Release a persistent rack from a clamp and insert its end into a nest from the inside of a cowl. The nest is located approximately in the middle under a forward edge of a cowl.

To close a cowl, raise it a little and take out the end of a persistent rack from a nest in a cowl. Lay a rack into place and latch it in a clamp. Lower a cowl on height about 30 cm over a front grille, then release it. When falling a cowl from this height the lock has to be latched.

Make sure of reliability of fixing of the lock of a cowl.

Control of level of engine oil

The description of the procedure of check of level of oil is provided in the Head Nastroyki and routine maintenance of the present manual.

Control of level of cooling liquid of the engine

The description of the procedure of check of level of cooling liquid is provided in the Head Nastroyki and routine maintenance of the present manual.

Valve of emergency shutdown of supply of fuel

Leak of gasoline can become the reason of ignition or explosion and to lead to severe injuries or death of the driver and passengers. Before turning on the fuel valve in the working condition, it is necessary to make sure of lack of traces of dribble of gasoline surely.

The fuel supply shutdown valve which is located behind the central console of the dashboard on the right is included in the package of some models. The valve is intended for ensuring fire safety at the road accident. At collision the valve automatically turns off supply of fuel in the engine.

The worked valve needs to be brought manually to the working condition, press controls of the valve the button. After implementation of this procedure start of the engine becomes possible.

Transportation of goods in the car

The car is equipped with several capacities intended for placement of the transported objects.

The ware offices located in interior of the car are intended for placement of small objects. Treat the main ware box in the dashboards, door pockets and pockets located in seatbacks and also the ware box which is built in the central console their number.

Large-size objects should be placed in the luggage compartment of the car. Transportation of lengthy objects becomes possible thanks to a folding design of backs of a back seat.

It is necessary to remember, however, that the wrong transportation of freights can negatively affect controllability and stability of the car and, therefore, to reduce safety. Before transporting this or that freight in the car, study information given below.

Transportation of goods

Maximum loading capacity of the car

Excess of the maximum admissible loading capacity of the car or the wrong placement of freight in can become the reason of the road accident and lead to traumatizing and even death being in interior of the car of the driver or passengers. Do not exceed the maximum admissible value of weight gross when loading the car, and also other restrictions mentioned in the present manual.

In transit freights in the car it is necessary to consider that the full mass of the car should not exceed the maximum admissible value. The full mass of the car includes: the equipped mass of the car, mass of the driver and passengers, mass of the hook-on device installed on the car, and also the mass of the trailer falling on it. At any options of loading of the car of load of axes also should not exceed extreme admissible values. Information on the maximum admissible values of full weight and axial loadings is provided in Specifications.

Transportation of goods in interior of the car

Reliably fix all objects placed in interior of the car, in order to avoid their shift in case of the road accident.

Do not place a krupnogabaritnyepredmeta on the back shelf of salon, - they narrow to the driver the sector of the review and can be dumped forward at collision sharp braking.

Make sure that the objects laid on the floor behind front seats cannot be rolled forward and under no circumstances are not capable to prevent the driver to manipulate freely pedals of management, and also cannot break correctness of adjustment of provision of front seats.

You hold a ware box during the movement closed.

Transportation of goods in the luggage compartment or on the luggage carrier installed on a car roof

Try to distribute freight evenly, placing baggage it is possible closer to seats. Heavy freights always have to settle down from below, on half of the luggage compartment. Reliably record the transported objects a strong cord that they could not be displaced on the run of the car. Never stack baggage higher than the level of backs of front seats.

In transit large-size or lengthy objects at the put back seats, try to fix reliably them a strong cord to prevent freight shift during emergency brake application of the car. Do not stack baggage higher than the level of seatbacks in order to avoid reduction of the sector of the review to the driver.

The description of operations of folding of backs of back seats and installation them in a starting position is provided in the Section Car Equipment, an arrangement of devices and governing bodies.

In need of transportation of the lengthy objects which are not allowing to close a door a bagazhnogootdeleniye back/cover you remember that the fulfilled engine gases can get to interior of the car, - carry out the appropriate measures of precaution (see the Section Elements of security systems of the car).

At placement of freight on the luggage carrier installed on a car roof track that the cumulative mass of baggage did not exceed admissible value. For obtaining more detailed information address on car repair shop of the Honda company.

Start of the engine

Cock the parking brake.

At a low temperature of air switch off everything auxiliary consumers of electric energy to reduce load of the rechargeable battery.

On the models equipped with RKPP squeeze out a coupling pedal against the stop and include neutral transfer.

On models with AT make sure that the lever of the selector is installed in situation "P" or "N" and squeeze out a pedal of a foot brake.

Without squeezing out the accelerator pedal, turn a key in the ignition lock in situation "START" (III) and include a starter. If the engine was not started at once, continue to scroll a bent shaft a starter, remembering that duration of continuous functioning of a starter should not exceed 15 seconds. The repeated attempt of start should be made not less than ten seconds later, - the pause is necessary for cooling of an electric motor of a starter.

If the engine does not manage to be started during the continuous work of a starter within 15 seconds, or the started engine at once becomes deaf, попытайтес to execute start at the accelerator pedal which is squeezed out to a half. After successful start of the engine release the accelerator pedal to avoid sharp increase in turns.

If it is not possible to start the engine still, completely squeeze out the accelerator pedal and hold it in the pressed situation during the whole time of functioning of a starter, - it will help to remove the excess fuel which got to the inlet pipeline and cylinders of the engine. Duration of continuous work of a starter, as well as in the previous cases, should not exceed 15 seconds. If the engine is not started after a purge of cylinders, once again try to start it at partially squeezed out accelerator pedal. Right after implementation of start release a pedal of Feature of start of the engine in cold weather in the conditions of highlands (you a sota above sea level more than 2400 m)

At a low temperature of air start of the engine is at a loss. In the conditions of highlands where air is strongly discharged, start of the engine becomes complicated in addition. Instructions which need to be followed at start of the engine in the considered conditions are given below.

Switch off everything auxiliary consumers of electric energy to reduce load of the rechargeable battery.

Squeeze out the accelerator pedal to a half hold it in this situation during the whole time of scrolling of a bent shaft of the engine of a starter. Duration of continuous inclusion of a starter should not exceed 15 seconds. After implementation of successful start of the engine gradually release the accelerator pedal, without allowing substantial increase of turns.

If the engine is not started, squeeze out the accelerator pedal against the stop and hold it in the pressed situation during the whole time of functioning of a starter. Duration of continuous work of a starter, as well as in the previous case, should not exceed 15 seconds. If the engine is still not started, repeat the attempt described above.

At a negative temperature of air or if the car was not used within several days, let's the engine get warm within 3 - 4 minutes, only after it begin the movement.

Five-step manual box of gear shifting

At movement along the road with a slippery covering the engine or excessively sharp dispersal can lead intensive braking to loss of control over the car and accidents as a result of which the people who are in the car can be seriously injured. Observe extra care at the movement along the road with a covering which is not providing due coupling with car wheels.

For ensuring smooth and unaccented switching all transfers of the forward course are synchronized. In the transmission there is a blocking device which excludes a possibility of direct switching from the fifth transfer to transfer of a backing. When switchings the transmission "up" (on the highest steps) or "down" (on the lowest steps) completely switch off coupling. After transfer of the lever of switching of the transmission to the provision of the following transfer smoothly release a coupling pedal. During the movement to the chosen transfer completely remove a leg from a coupling pedal in order to avoid premature wear of components of the mechanism of the last.

Include transfer of a backing only after a full stop of the car. The attempt to include a reverse on the run can lead to serious damage of the transmission. Before turning on of the reverse gear completely switch off coupling and sustain short (in several seconds) a pause. Remark: Instead of a pause it is possible to make short inclusion of one of forward transfers. The described methods of inclusion of a backing allow to prevent shock turning on of the reverse gear because of residual rotation of gear wheels.

For delay of the car it is possible to use braking by the engine, having switched the transmission to one of the lowered steps. Braking by the engine allows to control the speed of the movement of the car at the safe level and prevents an overheat of brake mechanisms at the movement on long descents with a considerable bias. Switch the transmission to the lowered steps consistently, in process of reduction of speed that not a dopustitprevysheniye of the most admissible frequency of rotation of a bent shaft of the engine on a tachometer. The arrow of a tachometer should not come into a red zone of a scale. In all cases it is necessary to be guided by values of the maximum admissible speed of the car on the corresponding transfers (see below).

The recommended gear shifting moments

Try to move on the highest transfer, обеспечивающейв specific road conditions normal functioning of the engine at uniform motion and a possibility of smooth dispersal of the car. Following of this recommendation will provide high profitability of the car and effective work of system of neutralization of the fulfilled gases. At gear shiftings be guided by the data provided in Specifications.

The most admissible speeds of the movement of the car on various transfers

In Specifications the maximum admissible speeds of the movement of the car are given in various transfers. At excess of the specified values of speed, the arrow of a tachometer will come into a red zone of a scale, indicating unacceptably high frequency of rotation of a bent shaft of the engine. At the same time the electronic block of a control system of the engine begins to limit turns of a bent shaft, reducing fuel supply that it is possible to feel it on change of power setting. Operation of the engine is normalized as soon as the arrow of a tachometer leaves a red zone of a scale.

In order to avoid breakage of the engine before transfer switching, be convinced that the arrow of a tachometer does not exceed the most admissible speed of the movement on this transfer and is not in a red zone of a scale.

Automatic transmission

On cars of the Honda brand the four-stage hydromechanical automatic transmission with the blocked hydrotransformer and an electronic and hydraulic control system is installed. The control system of the transmission provides timely and smooth switching of all steps of the forward course. Blocking of the hydrotransformer improves fuel profitability of the car. On subjective feelings inclusion of a blocking friction clutch of the hydrotransformer is similar to usual switching of a step of the transmission.

Indicators of position of the selector of switching of ranges

In assembly of a tachometer the additional control lamps allowing the driver are built in it is easy to control position of the selector of ranges of AT. To the right of indicators of the included range there is an indicator of the included transfer which functions in manual control mode the transmission.

The D4 indicator automatically lights up for several seconds at inclusion of ignition (the key is turned in the lock in the provision of "ON" [II]). The blinking of the D4 indicator during the movement of the car (irrespective of position of the selector of ranges) indicates possible malfunction of AT. In this case it is necessary to avoid sharp dispersals of the car. Urgently address on car repair shop of the Honda company for check and repair of automatic transmission.

Provisions of the lever of the selector of ranges

The lever of the selector of ranges of transmission can be in one of eight fixed provisions. At start of the engine the lever has to be only in situation "P" or "N". If the stop of the car is made when in the automatic transmission one of ranges of the movement "D4", "D3", "2", "1", "R", or "N" is included, then it is necessary to release completely a pedal gas and to squeeze out a brake pedal for reliable braking of the car.

For switching in manual to the mode of board, shift the lever of the selector of an izpolozheniye "D4" towards yourself. The possibility of switching manually is published in this provision.

When switching ranges of the automatic transmission move the lever along the directing groove. The lever of switching of ranges is blocked in situation "P" if the ignition key is turned in the provision of "LOCK" (0) or "ASS" (I). In this case a conclusion of the lever of the izpolozheniye "Р" is impossible even when squeezing a brake pedal.

Situation "P". In this position of the lever of the selector of ranges the secondary shaft of transmission is mechanically blocked. Always you transfer the lever the selector of radiapazon to situation "P" at switching off or start of the engine. To bring the lever of the selector of ranges out of situation "P", it is necessary to squeeze out a brake pedal, previously having released the accelerator pedal. Reject the lever of the selector of ranges to the right and bring him out of situation "P".

If after performance of all listed above actions it is still not possible to bring the lever out of situation "P", it is necessary to unblock it, following the instructions stated below.

In order to avoid breakage of AT you transfer the lever to situation "P" only after a full stop of the car. Remark: Extraction of a key from the lock of ignition becomes possible only after transfer of the lever of the selector in the provision "P".

Situation "R". Methods of management of the lever of the selector of ranges at its transfer to situation "R" (Zadniykhod) from situation "P" are described above. (Neutral) you make turning on of the lever in situation "R" from situation "N" only after a full stop of the car.

Automatic transmission is equipped with the special safety device which does not allow to move incidentally the lever to situation "R" if the speed of the car exceeds value of 10-12 km/h.

If the backing does not join after a full stop of the car, squeeze out a brake pedal and slowly move the lever of the selector of ranges at first to situation "N", then to situation "R".

At malfunction of the safety device, and also at the rechargeable battery disconnected from onboard network or discharged it is impossible to include backing range. In this case it is necessary to remove blocking of inclusion of range of a backing.

Situation "N", Use situation "N" (Neutral) at start of the decayed engine on the run of the car and at short stops of the car with the working engine. If you for any reason need to depart from the car, previously transfer the lever of the selector of ranges to situation "P" (Parking). At a lever conclusion squeeze out a pedal of a foot brake of situation "N".

Situation "D4". In this situation the lever of the selector of ranges has to be constantly at the movement of the car in normal road conditions. In the range of "D4" (Movement) automatic gear shifting of the forward course depending on the speed of the car and extent of pressing an accelerator pedal is provided. During the movement of the car you can notice what automatic switchings to the highest transfers occurs later, that is at higher speeds of the movement if the engine of the car is not warmed up up to the normal working temperature yet. It provides more bystry warming up of the engine.

Mode of manual gear shifting. If the lever of the selector of ranges is in situation "D4", there is a possibility of inclusion of the manual mode of gear shifting. In this mode of transfer switch by means of the same lever as it becomes on the models equipped with RKPP, but without use of a pedal of management of coupling. To include the manual mode of gear shifting, move the lever from situation "D4" to the left (towards a driver's seat). The transmission comes back to automatic control mode at the return movement of the lever to the right (towards a passenger seat).

In the mode of manual gear shifting control of transmission is exercised of consecutive pressing the lever forward or back. If to press the lever forward, there will be a switching of the transmission the inheriting highest step. To the contrary, pressing the lever leads to switching of the transmission to an adjacent lowest step back. Number of a vklyuchennoyperedacha is displayed on the dashboard. The indicator of the included transfer is located on the tachometer dial to the right of the D4 indicator.

When moving the lever of switching of ranges to the situation corresponding to manual control mode the transmission on the dashboard the indicator of the transfer included at present lights up. For example, if the fourth transfer is included, on the right an otindikator of "D4" figure "4" wil
