Honda 2005 CR-V Owner's Manual page 66

The temperature sensor is in the
front bumper. Therefore, the
temperature reading can be affected
by heat reflection from the road
surface, engine heat, and the
exhaust from surrounding traffic.
This can cause an incorrect
temperature reading when your
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes.
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C in
±
Canadian models) warmer or cooler.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized before doing this
procedure.
To adjust the outside temperature
display, press and hold the Select/
Reset button for 10 seconds. The
following sequence will appear for
one second each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
− − − − 4, 3, 2,
3, − − − 3, 2,
When it reaches the desired value,
release the Select/Reset button. You
should see the new outside
temperature displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
forming on the road surface.

Check Fuel Cap Indicator
If your fuel fill cap is loose or
missing, a ''CHECK FUEL CAP''
message appears as text in the
odometer/trip meter display after
you start the engine. The message
appears from CHECK to FUEL, then
to CAP repeatedly.
− 5,
1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2,
1, 0 (Canada).
Turn the engine off and confirm the
fuel fill cap is installed. If it is, loosen
the cap, then retighten it at least 3
clicks. When you restart the engine,
the message appears again. To clear,
press and hold the Select/Reset
button until the message is replaced
by the odometer/trip meter display.
If the system still detects a loose or
missing fuel fill cap, the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) comes on.
Turn the engine off and check or
retighten the fuel fill cap at least 3
clicks. The MIL goes out after 3 days
of normal driving once the cap is
tightened or replaced. If it does not
go out, have your dealer inspect the
vehicle. For more information, see
