The SiriusXM® satellites are in orbit over the equator;  
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause  
satellite reception interruptions. Satellite signals are  
more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and  
mountains the farther north you travel from the  
equator.  
Switch to the SiriusXM® mode by using the audio remote controls on the steering  
wheel, or through the audio/information screen, and stay in this mode for about 30  
minutes until the service is activated. Make sure your vehicle is in an open area with

uuGeneral Information on the Audio SystemuHonda App License Agreement  
5. Unauthorized Use and Abuse. You are responsible for ensuring your (and any authorized third parties’) use of the SOFTWARE and  
SERVICES remains in compliance with this AGREEMENT and all other applicable HONDA TERMS and PROVIDER TERMS. You acknowledge  
and agree that any use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES occurring through your VEHICLE will be deemed your actions and that HONDA and  
PROVIDERS may rely upon such actions. You agree to immediately notify us if you suspect fraudulent or abusive activity involving the  
SOFTWARE or SERVICES. If you so notify us or if we otherwise suspect fraudulent or abusive activity, you agree to cooperate with us in any  
fraud investigation and to use any fraud prevention measures we prescribe. Your failure to immediately notify us or cooperate to use such  
measures will result in your liability for all fraudulent usage or abusive activity associated with your VEHICLE.  
6. SOFTWARE Updates. The SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be updated when your VEHICLE is serviced by a DEALER or remotely, over-the-  
air, by HONDA from time to time; such updates may occur with or without further notice or your future consent. The SOFTWARE may be  
updated at HONDA’s discretion and for any purpose including, without limitation, to patch or otherwise improve the SOFTWARE or  
SERVICES functionality, security, or stability. All updates to the SOFTWARE and SERVICES are subject to this AGREEMENT and any other  
applicable HONDA TERMS and PROVIDER TERMS.  
7. Uninstalling, Removing, and Replacing the SOFTWARE. Replacing SOFTWARE or HONDA SERVICES with software or firmware not  
provided and installed by HONDA or a DEALER will render all representations and warranties for the SOFTWARE, HONDA SERVICES, and  
VEHICLE functionality reliant upon the SOFTWARE or HONDA SERVICES null and void.  
D. SOFTWARE Operational Notices and Warnings  
1. Vehicle Geolocation Information. You acknowledge that your VEHICLE may be equipped with certain traffic and map features. The  
traffic feature will automatically collect and transmit, through GPS technology, your Vehicle’s current location (longitude and latitude),  
travel direction and speed (“VEHICLE GEOLOCATION INFORMATION”) to HONDA and PROVIDERS. The VEHICLE GEOLOCATION  
INFORMATION is used by HONDA and PROVIDERS to provide traffic and navigation-related information to you, but may also be used to  
provide other SERVICES or offers to you. HONDA will not use such VEHICLE GEOLOCATION INFORMATION for its own marketing efforts,  
or provide such information to unaffiliated third parties for their own purposes, without your express consent.  
348  
uuGeneral Information on the Audio SystemuHonda App License Agreement  
2. Potential Map Inaccuracy and Route Safety. Maps used by this system may be inaccurate because of changes in roads, traffic controls,  
routing, or driving conditions. Always use good judgment and common sense when following suggested routes. Do not follow the route  
suggestions if doing so would result in an unsafe or illegal driving maneuver, if you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would  
be directed into an area that you consider unsafe. Do not rely on any navigation features included in the system to route you to emergency  
services. Not all emergency services such as police, fire stations, hospitals, or clinics are likely to be contained in the map database for such  
navigation features. Ask local authorities or an emergency services operator for such locations and routes. The driver is ultimately  
responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore, must evaluate whether it is safe to follow the suggested directions. Any  
navigation features are provided only as an aid. Make your driving decisions based on your observations of local conditions and existing  
traffic regulations. Navigation features are not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by the SOFTWARE or  
SERVICES should never replace any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe driving practices.  
3. Speech Recognition: You acknowledge and understand that HONDA and PROVIDERS may record, retain, and use voices commands  
when you use the speech recognition components of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. You and all VEHICLE operators and passengers (a)  
consent to the recording and retention of voice commands in support of providing speech recognition components and (b) release HONDA  
and PROVIDERS from all claims, liabilities, and losses that may result from any use of such recorded voice commands. Recognition errors  
are inherent in speech recognition. It is your responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and address  
any errors. Neither HONDA nor PROVIDERS will be liable for any damages arising out of errors in the speech recognition process.  
4. Distraction Hazards. Navigation features may require manual (non-verbal) input or setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or insert  
data while driving can seriously distract your attention and could cause a crash or other serious consequences; the ability to undertake such  
interactions may also be limited by state or local law, which laws you are responsible to know and follow. Even occasional short scans of  
the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving at a critical time. Pull over and stop the vehicle in  
a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Do not raise the volume  
excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable  
to hear these sounds could result in a crash.

E. Information Collection and Storage  
1. Information Collection, Use, Transmission and Storage of Data. Consent to Use of Data: You agree that HONDA and PROVIDERS may  
collect and use your information gathered in any manner as part of product support services related to the SOFTWARE or related services.  
HONDA may share such information with third parties, including, without limitation, PROVIDERS, third party software and services  
suppliers, their affiliates and/or their designated agents, solely to improve their products or to provide services or technologies to you.  
HONDA, third party software and systems suppliers, their affiliates and/or their designated agent may disclose this information to others,  
but not in a form that personally identifies you.  
2. Information Storage. Depending on the type of multimedia system you have in your VEHICLE, certain information may be stored for ease  
of use of the SOFTWARE including, without limitation, search history, location history in certain applications, previous and saved  
destinations, map locations within certain applications, and device numbers and contact information.  
(a) Vehicle Health Information. Your VEHICLE may remotely transmit information regarding the status and health of your VEHICLE  
(“VEHICLE INFORMATION”) to HONDA without notification to you. VEHICLE INFORMATION may contain VEHICLE maintenance and  
malfunction status that is derived from VEHICLE diagnostic data and includes, but is not limited to, status of powered doors and windows,  
battery life data, battery charging data, VEHICLE speed, coolant temperature, air compressor revolution, output power, warning codes,  
diagnostic trouble codes, fuel injection volume, and engine rotations per minute. VEHICLE HEALTH INFORMATION may be used by HONDA  
for research and development, to deliver HONDA SERVICES and information to you, and to contact you, and is retained only for a period  
of time necessary to fulfill these goals.  
(b) VEHICLE Geolocation Data (non-navigation/map based). If you opt-in to geolocation-based SERVICES, your vehicle’s geolocation data  
(latitude and longitude) will be automatically sent from your VEHICLE to HONDA and PROVIDERS.  
(c) You understand that the inputting or uploading of information to your VEHICLE’s multimedia system or the SOFTWARE or SERVICES is  
at your own risk and that HONDA is not responsible for unauthorized access to or use of any personal or other information. All information  
uploaded to the SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be stored on your VEHICLES’s multimedia system and you understand that the security and  
safety of your VEHICLE’s multimedia system is your sole responsibility.

F. NO WARRANTY. You understand and agree that your use of the SOFTWARE and SERVICES are solely at your own risk and that you  
will be solely responsible for any damage to your VEHICLE’s multimedia system or any other equipment or any loss of data that may result  
from your use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS  
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES  
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. HONDA makes no warranties that the  
SOFTWARE or SERVICES will meet your requirements, or that the SOFTWARE or SERVICES will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, non-  
infringing or error free. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any and all charges, costs or expenses associated with your  
use of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. Advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the SOFTWARE  
or SERVICES are provided for informational purposes only and will not create any warranty not expressly made herein. You should not rely  
on any such information or advice. We assume no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. We  
do not make any warranty or representation that your use of the material displayed on, or obtained through, the SOFTWARE or SERVICES  
is non-infringing of any rights of any third party. Any decision or action taken by you on the basis of information or content provided via  
the application is at your sole discretion and risk. HONDA and PROVIDERS are not responsible or liable for any such decision, or for the  
accuracy, completeness, usefulness, or availability of any content or information displayed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via  
the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. To the extent jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, some of the above exclusions may  
not apply to you.  
G. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. You and HONDA are each waiving important rights.  
1. Limitations on YOUR liability. HONDA cannot recover from you any consequential, indirect, incidental, or special damages, or attorney’s  
fees in connection with your use of the SOFTWARE or HONDA SERVICES. HONDA WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW  
ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN DIRECT, COMPENSATORY DAMAGES AS LIMITED IN THIS AGREEMENT.  
Continued  
351  
uuGeneral Information on the Audio SystemuHonda App License Agreement  
2. Limitation on HONDA and PROVIDER liability. Neither HONDA nor PROVIDERS will be liable to you or any other party for consequential,  
indirect, incidental, special, or punitive damages (including without limitation lost profits) in connection with your use of the SOFTWARE  
or SERVICES, even if HONDA or PROVIDERS are aware of the possibility of such damages. These limitations apply to all claims, including,  
without limitation, claims in contract and tort (such as negligence, product liability and strict liability). To the extent that a jurisdiction does  
not permit the exclusion or limitation of liability as set forth herein our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law in such  
states. If HONDA or PROVIDERS are found liable to you for any reason, you agree that the aggregate liability of all these parties to you for  
any claim is limited to ten U.S. dollars (US $10.00). Neither HONDA nor any PROVIDER would have agreed to provide the SOFTWARE or  
SERVICES to you if you did not agree to this limitation. This amount is the sole and exclusive liability of HONDA and PROVIDERS to you,  
and is payable as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Except where prohibited by law, you may not bring any claim against HONDA  
or any third-party beneficiary more than two (2) years after the claim arises. We do not have any liability for SOFTWARE or SERVICES  
interruptions of any length.  
(a) Release of HONDA and PROVIDERS For yourself and anyone else claiming under you, you agree to release and discharge HONDA,  
PROVIDERS, their respective officers, directors, and employees, and each third-party beneficiary from all claims, liabilities and losses in  
connection with the SOFTWARE or SERVICES, including, but not limited to claims for personal injury or property damage arising from the  
total or partial failure of performance of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES, even if caused by or based upon the negligence, gross negligence,  
strict products liability, Deceptive Trade Practices Act violations, bad faith, or breach of warranty of us or the malfunction of the SOFTWARE  
or SOFTWARE SERVICES. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN  
DIRECT, COMPENSATORY DAMAGES AS LIMITED IN THIS AGREEMENT. YOU HEREBY RELEASE AND DISCHARGE HONDA AND ITS  
LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS (INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTIES PROVIDING ALL OR PART OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES) FROM AND  
AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, EXPENSES AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY INJURIES, DAMAGES, OR LOSSES TO  
ANY PERSON (INCLUDING DEATH) OR PROPERTY OF ANY KIND RESULTING IN WHOLE OR PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM YOUR  
USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES.  
H. Survival. You agree that the limitations of liability and indemnities in this AGREEMENT will survive even after the AGREEMENT has  
ended. These limitations of liability apply not only to you, but to anyone using the SOFTWARE or SERVICES via your VEHICLE, to anyone  
making a claim on your behalf, and to any claims made by your family, employees, customers, or others arising out of or relating to your  
VEHICLE, the SOFTWARE, or SERVICES.  
352  
uuGeneral Information on the Audio SystemuHonda App License Agreement  
I. Availability/Interruption. The SOFTWARE and certain SERVICES are made available through your VEHICLE’s compatible multimedia  
system when the VEHICLE is turned on. Certain SERVICES may be available only through your compatible mobile device when it is within  
the operating range of the VEHICLE and a wireless carrier. The availability of the SOFTWARE and SERVICES may be subject to transmission  
limitation or interruption, including but not limited to technical obsolesce or sunsetting of the hardware, software or firmware, inside of  
or external to the Vehicle, required for data transmission or receipt. HONDA does not guarantee that the SOFTWARE, SERVICES, or any  
portion thereof will be available at all times or in all areas. You acknowledge and agree that HONDA is not responsible for performance  
degradation, interruption or delays. You acknowledge that HONDA shall not be liable to you if the SOFTWARE or SERVICES in a given  
location are not available. If the SOFTWARE or SERVICES are not available within your intended location, you agree that your sole remedy  
shall be to cease using the SOFTWARE and SERVICES.  
J. PRODUCT SUPPORT: Product support for the SOFTWARE is provided by HONDA. For product support, please refer to HONDA  
instructions provided in the DOCUMENTATION. Should you have any questions concerning this AGREEMENT, or if you desire to contact  
HONDA for any other reason, please refer to the HONDA contact information provided in the DOCUMENTATION.  
K. Termination and Transfer.  
1. Termination. This AGREEMENT is effective until terminated by you or US. WE may terminate this AGREEMENT for any or no reason,  
and with or without notice to you. Your rights under this AGREEMENT will terminate automatically without notice from US if you fail to  
comply with any term of this AGREEMENT. Upon termination of this AGREEMENT, you shall cease all use of the SOFTWARE and SERVICES.  
2. Transfer: You may permanently transfer your rights under this AGREEMENT only as part of a sale or transfer of the VEHICLE, provided  
you retain no copies, you transfer all of the SOFTWARE and HONDA SERVICES (including all component parts, the media and printed  
materials, and any upgrades), and the recipient agrees to the terms of this AGREEMENT. You agree to notify HONDA upon the sale or  
transfer of the VEHICLE. To contact HONDA, please refer to the HONDA contact information provided in the DOCUMENTATION.

L. Changes to the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. WE may change, modify, or update the SOFTWARE or SERVICES from time to time. Unless  
explicitly stated otherwise, any new features or services that augment or enhance the SOFTWARE or SERVICES in the future shall  
respectively be considered part of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES and subject to this AGREEMENT. WE reserve the right at any time and from  
time to time to interrupt, restrict, modify, suspend, discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the SOFTWARE or SERVICES (or any portion  
thereof), with or without notice to you, and you agree that HONDA shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification,

M. ARBITRATION:  
PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT YOU  
MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR DISPUTE  
HEARD IN COURT AND WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING CLASS CLAIMS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE  
MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.  
Arbitration is a method of resolving a claim, dispute or controversy without filing a lawsuit. By agreeing to arbitrate, the right to go to  
court is waived and instead claims, disputes or controversies are submitted to binding arbitration. This provision sets forth the terms and  
conditions of our agreement. YOU and HONDA agree and acknowledge that this Agreement affects interstate commerce and the  
Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) applies. By using the Software, Vehicle, or Services, YOU elect to have disputes resolved by arbitration.  
YOU, HONDA or any involved third party may pursue a Claim. “Claim” means any dispute between YOU, HONDA, or any involved third  
party relating to your use of the Software, the Vehicle, or the Services, this Agreement, or our relationship, including any  
representations, omissions or warranties. “Claim” does not include personal injury or wrongful death claims. YOU or HONDA may seek  
remedies in small claims court or provisional judicial remedies without arbitrating. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver*  
1HomeLink® Universal Transceiver*  
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be programmed to operate up to three  
remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or  
home security systems.  
Before programming HomeLink to operate a garage  
door opener, confirm that the opener has an external  
entrapment protection system, such as an “electronic  
eye,” or other safety and reverse stop features. If it  
does not, HomeLink may not be able to operate it.  
Important Safety Precautions  
■
Refer to the safety information that came with your garage door opener to test that  
the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have the safety  
information, contact the manufacturer.  
Before programming HomeLink, make sure that people and objects are out of the  
way of the garage or gate to prevent potential injury or damage.  
When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage door’s path.

Maximum Load Limit  
1Maximum Load Limit  
The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (385 kg). See the Tire  
and Loading Information label attached to the driver’s doorjamb.  
3
WARNING  
Overloading or improper loading  
can affect handling and stability  
and cause a crash in which you  
can be hurt or killed.  
Label Example  
Follow all load limits and other  
loading guidelines in this manual.  
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR):  
The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all  
occupants, all accessories and all cargo.  
2 Specifications P. 664  
This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and  
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer.  
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit -  
(1)Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and  
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your  
vehicle’s placard.  
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR):  
The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle axle.  
2 Specifications P. 664  
(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers  
that will be riding in your vehicle.  
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers  
from XXX kg or XXX lbs.  
(4)The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and  
luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount  
equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in  
your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load  
capacity is 650 lbs.  
(1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)  
Continued  
459  
 
uuBefore DrivinguMaximum Load Limit  
1Maximum Load Limit  
(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being  
loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the  
available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.  
(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will  
be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to  
determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage  
load capacity of your vehicle.  
Towing a Trailer:  
See Towing a Trailer to determine whether your  
vehicle is designed to tow a trailer.  
2 Towing a Trailer P. 461  
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants,  
accessories, cargo, and trailer tongue load must not exceed the  
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight  
Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.  
Load Limits Example  
Example1  
Max Load  
850 lbs

Passenger Weight  
150 lbs x 2 = 300 lbs
