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" will be highlighted. At the subsequent gear shiftings in the manual mode of the indication of the indicator will change as appropriate. If to include manual control mode the transmission on the standing car, then the first transfer automatically will join, and in an indicator window figure "1" will be highlighted.

The start of motion and dispersal of the car will occur on the first transfer, then it is necessary to include manually the second and the subsequent transfers. At manual control mode the transmission it is necessary to watch on a tachometer that limit admissible turns of the engine were not exceeded. In the course of dispersal of the car in due time include adjacent highest transfers, without allowing calling of an arrow of a tachometer a red zone of a scale.

If the driver does not press the lever of the selector of ranges, the transmission will work at the same step (1, 2, 3 or 4th), without switchings. At full squeezing of the accelerator pedal of switching of the transmission also do not occur.

In manual control mode by the transmission it is provided vozmozhnostyavtomatichesky switching of transmission with the fourth on the third передачув the following cases:

a) Speed of the car fell nizhe27 km/h.
b) The car moves uphill a soskorost from 27 to 60 km/h.
c) The pedal of a foot brake at the movement of the car under a bias is squeezed out.

Automatic switching of the transmission "down" to the third transfer provides increase in force of draft at the movement uphill, and also increases efficiency of braking of a dvigatelempra the movement of the car on abrupt descent.

Besides, in manual control mode the transmission automatically switches to the first step at delay and a stop of the car. This switching happens at reduction in the rate of the movement to 10 km/h.

In attempt of manual inclusion on the run one of the lowest transfers on which turns of the engine there will be prevyshatpredelno an admissible value that this switching is automatically blocked.

If the car moves on the fourth transfer, and the command of the driver for inclusion of the third transfer is blocked, then on an instrument guard figure "3" razmignt a little, then the indicator "4" lights up again. Similarly, if the car moves on the third transfer, and the command of the driver for inclusion of the second transfer is blocked, then on the dashboard several razindikator "2" blinks, and then the indicator "3" lights up again.

If in the course of a blinking of the indicator of the blocked transfer the speed of the car decreases so that after transfer switching the frequency of rotation of a shaft of the engine will not be able to exceed maximum permissible value, then blocking is removed and in transmission there is an inclusion of an adjacent lowest step.

At a low temperature of air when temperature of transmission does not exceed -10 °C, the manual mode of switchings of the transmission can not work.

In Specifications the recommended speeds of switching of steps are specified in the transmission.

Situation "D3". If the lever of the selector of ranges is included in the provision "D3", the automatic transmission functions similar to a case of inclusion of range of "D4" (Movement). Difference consists that transition to the fourth transfer is excluded. Range of "D3" is recommended to be used at towage of the trailer in the hilly area or for braking implementation by the engine on descent of the considerable steepness. Inclusion of range of "D3" is useful also for an exception of excess cyclic switchings of automatic transmission between the third and fourth transfers. Similar cyclic switchings of the transmission can be observed, for example, at the movement in a dense transport stream with frequent delays and stops of the car.

For sharp dispersal of the car during the operation of the transmission in the range of "D4" or "D3" squeeze out the accelerator pedal against the stop.
At the same time the transmission will automatically pass to adjacent lowest transfer. If the speed of the car is small, then the transmission can switch to two steps down at once.

Situation "2". At inclusion of range "2" automatic transmission will constantly work at the second transfer. At a car stop the transmission does not pass to the first transfer. Constant inclusion of the second transfer provides good traction dynamics of the car on rises and a possibility of intensive braking with the engine on abrupt descents. Range "2" is recommended to be included at a start of motion on a slippery paving, and also at the movement on deep snow. It helps to prevent strong pro-slipping of driving wheels of the car.

At inclusion of range "2" on the run of the car inclusion of the second передачив transmissions automatically is late and happens only after the speed of the car decreases to the safe level at which the frequency of rotation of a bent shaft of the engine will not exceed the most admissible value.

Situation "1". At inclusion of range "1" automatic transmission will constantly work at the first transfer. If inclusion of range "1" is made at a speed more than 50 km/h, then transmission at first will switch to the second transfer. Inclusion of an intermediate step allows to exclude sharp and unexpected braking by the engine.
Maximum admissible speeds of the movement of the car

The maximum admissible speeds of the movement of the car at inclusion of various ranges of the automatic transmission are specified in Specifications. At excess the stipulated vspetsifikation of values, the arrow of a tachometer comes into a red zone of a scale, indicating excess of admissible turns 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 can be felt on change of power setting. Operation of the engine returns to normal 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 come for value of the most admissible speed of the movement on this transfer and is not in a red zone of a scale.

Switching off of blocking of the lever of the selector of ranges

If it is not possible to bring the lever of the selector of ranges out of situation "P" by means of standard practice (with simultaneous squeezing of a brake pedal), execute the following operations (similarly it is necessary to arrive also for removal of blocking of inclusion of range of a backing):
a) Cock the parking brake;
b) Check that ignition was switched off (the key has to be turned in a provision of "OFF" [0]). If it is required to remove blocking of inclusion of range of a backing, then the ignition key has to be in the provision of "ASS" (I);
c) Cover with a fabric piece a cover which is located to the right of the directing cut of the lever and closes access to the blocking removal device, спомощью the small flat screw-driver (is absent in a set of the mobile tool) or other suitable tool carefully press edge and uncover;
d) Implant a screw-driver sting into a groove
e) Press from above the screw-driver and at the same time move the lever from situation "P" to situation "N";.
f) To remove blocking of inclusion of range of a backing, move the lever from situation "N" a vpolozheniye of "R", then - to situation "P";
e) Take out the screw-driver from a groove and establish into place a new cover. Press a brake pedal and start the engine.

If for removal of blocking of the lever of the selector of ranges it was necessary to use the reception described above, then malfunction of transmission is a possible cause of infringement. Address on car repair shop of the Honda company for check and car repairs.

Parking of the car

Leaving the car on the parking, always you cock the parking brake. Remember that the control lamp of turning on of the parking brake which is built in in an instrument guard, serves only for a reminder to the driver about need of an otpuskaniye of the parking brake before a start of motion. Burning of a control lamp does not guarantee completeness of raising of the parking brake. In order to avoid spontaneous rolling the car on a bias be convinced that the parking brake is cocked properly.

At first it is necessary to cock стояночныйтормоз, and then to transfer the lever of the selector of ranges of the automatic transmission to situation "P". Such sequence of actions prevents casual start-off of the car and excludes transfer of considerable load of the mechanism of blocking of a secondary shaft of transmission otskatyvayushchy force car. Unloading of the coupling of blocking of a secondary shaft of transmission from skatyvayushchy force car. Unloading of the coupling of blocking of a secondary shaft of transmission provides at the subsequent start-off of the car simplicity of a conclusion of the lever from situation "P".

At the parking of the car on rise, develop forward wheels aside from a border and vice versa.

Before a start of motion, убедитесьв the fact that the parking brake is completely released. At the movement with not completely released parking brake the overheat and failure of brake mechanisms of back wheels is possible. Besides, it can lead to violation of serviceability of functioning of ABS.

Recommendation about the safe parking of the car

Track that the top hatch in a roof and all windows were closed.

Switch off all devices of lighting.

Put baggage and valuable things in the closed offices, or occupy them with yourself.

Lock locks of doors by means of a key or the remote control the uniform lock.

On the models equipped with anticreeping system make sure of turning on of the indicator of system on the dashboard which demonstrates activation of the device.

Never leave the car with the working engine on the platforms covered with dry foliage, a high grass or other combustible materials. Remember that the case of the catalytic converter can be heated to very high temperature that is fraught with ignition.
Brake system

Recommendations about security measures at operation of the models equipped with ABS

ABS does not reduce a brake way of the car and is only capable to provide preservation of controllability of the car in the course of braking. In view of told it is necessary to support constantly a safe distance to ahead the going vehicle, proceeding izskorost of the car and specific conditions of the movement.

ABS does not prevent a side skid at sharp change of the direction of the movement of the car. For example, the car can enter a drift when passing turn at too high speed or at breakthrough of a wheel during change of a lane. Always support the safe speed of the vehicle, being conformed with a condition of a paving and traffic conditions.

ABS does not prevent loss of course stability of the car. In the course of emergency brake application avoid sharp breakthroughs of a steering wheel.

The brake way of the equipped ABS car can exceed a little habitual for models with the ordinary brake system. Told especially it is noticeable at the movement on fragile and uneven pavings (gravel, snow). At the movement in similar road conditions reduce speed and increase a distance to ahead the going vehicle.

Control lamp of violations of functioning of ABS

The structure of system of anti-blocking switched on the self-diagnostics block. Externally the procedure of self-diagnostics of system is shown by small pulsations of a foot brake right after start of the engine. Failure diagnostics of ABS is made also at each braking of the car.

At identification by system of any malfunction on the control panel the corresponding control lamp lights up. Operation of a control lamp demonstrates that ABS is disconnected. At the same time operability of the working brake system remains fully, except for function of automatic control of brake effort which is performed by ABS. If the control lamp of ABS does not die away after start of the engine or joins in time of the movement, follows at the first opportunity to address on the next stantsiyutekhobsluzhivaniye.

Joint inclusion of control lamps of ABS and refusals of brake system / raising of the parking brake also means shutdown of function of regulation of brake effort that an ukazyvayetna existence of malfunctions both in ABS, and in the brake system. At the same time the brake system of the car to prodolzhitobespechivat rather adequate braking of the car, however it is necessary to avoid sharp squeezing of a pedal of a foot brake.

Recommendations about driving of the car in adverse weather conditions

Traction control system (tracking control)

The traction control system (tracking control) allowing to start and accelerate more surely on a slippery paving can be included in the package of some models. The system automatically limits the power developed by the engine as soon as one of driving wheels loses coupling with a paving and begins to revolve. It is possible to feel operation of the traction control system on reaction on a steering koyeles.

Driving during a rain, in strong fog or snowfall demands from the driver of special skills, in view of decrease in coupling of wheels with a paving and deterioration in visibility. Constantly support the car in technically working order. At commission of trips to bad weather observe extra care. Avoid use of a tempo-stat (at the corresponding complete set of the car) in adverse weather conditions.

Features of driving in adverse road conditions

Reduce speed and move more slowly, than usually in normal weather conditions on a dry paving. Remember that reactions of the car to management will be more vyalymiya slowed down even if the paving looks only slightly damp. Try to influence all controls of the car smoothly. On a wet and slippery paving the sharp breakthrough of a steering wheel or careless squeezing of a brake pedal can lead to loss of control over management. At the beginning of a trip, still completely without having adapted to adverse weather conditions, show the increased care. It is especially useful to follow this rule at the movement during snowfall. It is necessary to remember that at operation of the car in warm season many useful skills of driving of the car on a slippery paving are forgotten that demands some time for their restoration.

Show extra care, driving the car during a rain as lack of practice during the dry period does not allow to be reconstructed and adapt a bridle manner for new conditions quickly. Remark: After the long dry period the first rains do a paving especially slippery.

Review

For traffic safety in any weather conditions it is very important to have the good review in all directions. It is worth to remember to take care also that your car remained to well noticeable drivers of other vehicles, - you remember that at movement along the route inclusion of passing beam will never prevent even during daylight hours. It is more difficult to fulfill these requirements in adverse weather conditions.

Regularly check a condition of brushes of screen wipers and snuffled windshield washers. Constantly support the required liquid level in the tank of the washing liquid. Use for gas station of system of washing of glasses only liquids, the recommended brands. You watch a condition of working elements of screen wipers, you make their replacement as soon as brushes cease to purify glass properly. For prevention of condensation of moisture on the internal surface of glasses use having blown in glasses air, in case of need turns on the air conditioner.

Coupling of tires with a paving

Regularly control air pressure in tires and degree of wear of protectors of tires (pattern depth). Both of these factors are extremely important from the point of view of good coupling of tires with a paving and prevention of the phenomenon of hydroplaning, that is sharp reduction of coupling with the road at entrance to pools. For ensuring the best controllability with the car and traffic safety at approach of a winter season use studded rubber.

During the movement constantly watch changes of road conditions which often render very unstable. Presence to the road of wet foliage can be dangerous, than ice. Often in appearance the pure and dry paving can ice over separate uchastkay. Especially dangerous conditions develop at air temperatures about 0 °C when pools can alternate frost that does behavior of the car especially unpredictable.

Be careful when switching the automatic transmission in the lowered range. On a slippery covering sharp inclusion of a low gear can lead to short-term pro-slipping of driving wheels and a drift of the car

Extra care and attention are required from the driver at commission of overtakings. Equally it is necessary to observe attentiveness, when overtaking your car by others of a transportnma means. Splashes of water and dirt from under wheels of the overtaken truck can sharply worsen visibility through a windshield. The rush of a side wind during commission of overtaking of the truck or the bus is dangerous by loss of control over management.

Towage of the trailer

Wrong it is placed baggage, and also transportation of too heavy freights on the car or the towed trailer can worsen considerably controllability and brake properties of transport means / road train that it is fraught with creation of an emergency on roads. Before a start of motion always attentively check correctness of loading of the car and trailer.

The models of cars considered in the present manual first of all are, of course, passenger and are intended for transportation of people and their baggage. However, at obligatory observance of a number of the general rules which are given below the Honda cars can be used also with success for towage of the trailer.

The full mass of the trailer including its own weight and mass of the freight placed in it should not exceed the extreme admissible mass of the towed trailer (see Specifications). The extreme admissible mass of the trailer depends on that, it is equipped with brake mechanisms, or not.

The maximum vertical load on the hook-on device of the car with a full mass of the trailer should not exceed 50 kgfs. For trailers with a full weight up to 500 kg it is necessary to follow the following rule: vertical load of a turnbuckle has to make about 10% of the full mass of the trailer. For example, if the full mass of the trailer with freight is equal to 225 kg, vertical load of the hook-on device has to make about 22.5 kgfs. Adjust load of a car turnbuckle, as appropriate placing freight on the trailer. For a start it is recommended to place freight so that about 60% of its weight were ahead of a trailer axis, and 40% - behind. If the full mass of the trailer exceeds 500 kg, try to distribute freight on trailer length more evenly. Never load the trailer so that a back part of the trailer outweighed a lobby, - it brings to разгрузк ezadny wheels of the car that worsens coupling of tires with a paving.

The full mass of the car and the towed trailer should not exceed the corresponding maximum admissible values (see Specifications).

The full mass of the car includes: the equipped mass of the car, mass of the driver, passengers and baggage, mass of the hook-on device and the mass of the trailer falling on it. Remember that the mass of the additional equipment installed on the car and the mass of the trailer falling on a turnbuckle (at towage of the trailer), reduce payload capacity of the vehicle by the corresponding sizes.

The most reliable way of check of correctness of loading of the car and trailer is weighing. Load the car and the trailer as they are usually exploited as a part of the road train, and weigh them on cargo scales. Define values of full mass of the car and the trailer, and also masses falling on axes of the car and trailer. Compare results of measurements to requirements of Specifications.

Hook-on device

Installation of the hook-on devices which are not corresponding on the standard sizes to mass-dimensional characteristics of the trailer, or incorrectly installed on the car, can become the reason of damage of body elements of the vehicle.

The design of the hook-on device intended for installation on your car has to meet completely all necessary requirements, in case of need consult at car repair shop of the Honda company.

The hook-on device has to fasten in several specially provided points on the basis of a car body that loadings from the towed trailer were distributed more evenly and fell on elements of strengthening of a body. It is forbidden to mount on the car the hook-on devices leaning only on a rear bumper which is not intended for perception of similar loadings. Installation of a turnbuckle has to be made by qualified personnel of car service.

Rear-view mirrors

Towage of the large-size trailer (Caravan type) usually demands installation on the car of additional rear-view mirrors with the extended arms. Specify the requirements of the local legislation and Traffic regulations concerning towage of trailers cars. Attach the trailer to the car and estimate extent of deterioration in a rearview through standard rear-view mirrors. If the review unsatisfactory, then for reasons of safety it is necessary to equip the special mirrors providing to the driver the adequate review of space behind the car.

Connection of the trailer to the car

If you are going to buy the trailer equipped with brake mechanisms, be convinced that they have the electric drive of management, the design of the hydraulic drive of the working brake system of your car does not provide a possibility of connection to it of any additional contours, in particular, for actuating of brake mechanisms of the trailer. Any way of accession to a brake hydraulic actuator of the car of the brake system of the trailer what attractive it would not seem will lead to deterioration in efficiency of braking of the car and decrease in traffic safety.

Attaching the trailer to the car, always use a safety chain. The ends of a safety chain have to be reliably fixed to appropriate places on the dyshl of the trailer and on the hook-on device of the car. Track that the chain passed under dyshly the trailer, - it will prevent falling of the forward end of a dyshl on the road in case of a hitch rassoyedineniye. Free length of a chain has to be sufficient not to prevent commission of turns of the road train with the minimum radiuses, however, it is not necessary to allow drawings of a chain on the ground.

Devices of external lighting and alarm systems on the trailer

As on trailers the razlichnykhmarok can be used various laying of an electrical wiring, the equipment of a turnbuckle should be charged to specialists of car service. In certain cases installation of a transitional nozzle (adapter) can be required.

Before connecting trailer electric equipment to the car power supply network, surely consult at car repair shop.

Preparation for towage of the trailer

Before a start of motion it is necessary to make control survey and check of the car and trailer.

Measure the vertical loading falling on the hook-on device, - use usual bathroom scales.

Check reliability of fastening of a dyshl of the trailer and a safety chain.

Check technical condition of tires and pressure of air in tires on the car and the trailer. The lowered air pressure in tires considerably worsens controllability of the car and the road train. At the same time check a state and pressure of air in a spare wheel.

Having completely loaded and having attached the trailer to the car, make sure of lack of excessive "flash" of a back part of the car, - in case of need remove excess freight from the car/trailer.

Check serviceability of functioning of devices of external lighting and the alarm system on the car and the trailer.

Specify the operating restrictions of traffic regulations for the maximum speed of the movement of the road train as a part of the car and the trailer. Planning to make a trip around several countries, in advance get acquainted with features of the local requirements and restrictions concerning towage of the trailer the car as the restrictions can work in each country. Remark: In the European countries restriction of speed of the movement of the road train as a part of the car and the trailer is established at the level of 100 km/h.

Security measures at towage of the trailer

It is necessary to consider that the brake way of the car towing the trailer increases. Therefore, moving with the trailer, you should support the increased distance to ahead the going car. Try to avoid sharp braking and turns. It can lead to folding of the road train or even a turning of the trailer.

Remember that road train length considerably exceeds length of the single car. At turn to the right leave between edge of a carriageway and wheels of the right board of the car the bigger distance, than usually is considerable to avoid arrival by trailer wheels on a border. Consider that at turn of the road train the trailer moves on an arch of smaller radius, than the car, and can run or collide an obstacle which the car freely passed. When overtaking other vehicle you do not hurry to come back to the row as it can lead to collision of the overtaken car with the trailer.

The road train, in comparison with the single car, is more sensitive to action of rushes of a side wind and aerodynamic indignations from other cars. If you are overtaken at great speed by the heavy truck or the road train, try to support rectilinear and uniform motion of the car. To reduce the aerodynamic indignations operating on the road train from ahead the going car reduce speed to leave a turbulent stream.

At towage of the trailer load of all main units and systems of the car increases. Therefore at frequent use of the car for towage of the trailer it is necessary to carry out periodic maintenance of the car according to the regulations characteristic of intense service conditions (see the Head Nastroyki and routine maintenance).

Additional load of the car even more increases at operation of the road train in the hilly area. When overcoming long rises you watch closely temperature condition of the engine according to the arrow index on the control panel. At approach of an arrow of the index to an overheat zone, switch off the air conditioner (if it is equipped and included) and continue the movement. If temperature of cooling liquid of the engine does not decrease, or continues to increase, stop on a roadside and let's the engine cool down. Remark: The conditioner of air should be switched off also at rapid increase in speed on descent at the movement in the hilly or hilly terrain. If temperature of cooling liquid of the engine constantly increases at the movement on the second transfer, reduce the speed of the movement below a mark of 60 km/h.

At the movement in the hilly or hilly terrain cyclic switching of the third and fourth transfers of automatic transmission can be observed. In this case it is necessary to pass into the lowered range of "D3" that will prevent an overheat and excessive wear of details of the frictional AT elements. In order to avoid an overheat of brake mechanisms at the movement on long descents to a spolzuyta braking by the engine. For effective braking by the engine include the lowered range or one of the lowest steps of the automatic transmission.

At a road train stop on rise do not hold it on the place by pressing of the accelerator pedal, - it can lead to AT overheat. Use the working brake system or the parking brake.

At management of automatic transmission in the manual mode use the third, second and first transfers, being conformed with a speed of the movement of the car and road conditions. Towing the trailer, do not include the fourth transfer. The recommended high-speed ranges for use of various steps of the transmission are specified in Specifications.

Zaparkovyvy the road train on the long parking, especially on descent or rise, take all precautionary measures for reliable braking of the car and the trailer. Turn forward wheels of the car so that when rolling the road train they rested against curbstone. Completely cock the parking brake and transfer the lever of the selector of ranges to situation "P". On the models equipped with RKPP turn on the first, or reverse gear. In addition enclose antiretractable boots under both wheels of the trailer.

The control of road train at the movement by a backing presents certain difficulties and demands from the driver of special skills and a training. Move a backing carefully and slowly, do not rotate excessively quickly steering wheel. When maneuvering by a backing in the constrained conditions it is useful that someone, standing outside, monitored movements of the trailer and directed your actions. Keep in mind that at rotation of a steering wheel clockwise (to the right) the trailer moves to the left and vice versa. When maneuvering the road train the backing recommends to hold a rim of a steering wheel from below (and not from above, as usual, at the movement by the forward course). At such successful fellow habitual compliance between the direction of turn of a steering wheel and the movement of the trailer remains: hand shift leads to turn of the trailer also to the left to the left and vice versa.
