Fuel Economy, Accessories and Modifications
You may notice that using the A/C
causes a greater drop in fuel
economy than you are used to in
other vehicles. Although the amount
of extra fuel used by the A/C load on
the engine is no greater than other
vehicles, it is more noticeable
because of your vehicle's excellent
fuel economy. Using the A/C in hot
weather may result in fuel economy
that is lower than expected.

Accessories and Modifications

Modifying your vehicle, or installing
non-Honda accessories, may make it
unsafe. Before you make any
modifications or add any accessories,
be sure to read the following
information.
Accessories
Your dealer has genuine Honda
accessories that allow you to
personalize your vehicle. These
accessories have been designed and
approved for your vehicle.
Although non-Honda accessories
may fit on your vehicle, they may not
meet factory specifications, and
could adversely affect your vehicle's
handling, stability, and reliability.
Improper accessories or
modifications can affect your
vehicle's handling, stability,
and performance, and cause
a crash in which you can be
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this
owner's manual regarding
accessories and
modifications.
When properly installed, cellular
phones, alarms, two-way radios,
radio antenna, and low-powered
audio systems should not interfere
with your vehicle's computer
controlled systems, such as your
airbags and anti-lock brakes.
