Maintenance Schedule and Records
Your Honda automobile must be properly maintained to ensure
that it is in peak operating condition and the emission levels are
within the standards set by the Federal Clean Air Act.
The following instructions and maintenance procedures are
based on the assumption that your car will be used exclusively
for the purpose for which it was designed:
1. To carry passengers and cargo within the load limits shown
on the label on the driver's door jamb.
2. To be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal limits.
3. To generally be driven daily over a distance of several miles.
4. Use gasoline from pumps labeled unleaded, with a pump oc-
tane number of 86 or higher. The pump octane number is an
average of the Research (R) octane and Motor (M) octane
numbers.
NOTE: Failures which occur due to a lack of maintenance will
not be covered under the New Car Warranty.
The Required Maintenance Schedule * specifies all mainte-
nance required to keep your car in peak operating condition.
Work should be done by a Honda dealer but may be done by
any qualified service facility or individual who is competent in
this type of work.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control de-
vices and systems may be done by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using parts that are "certified" to
EPA standards.
After the maintenance has been done, be sure to have your
servicing dealer complete the Maintenance Record on pages
79 — 8 1 . All required maintenance is considered normal owner
operating cost and you will be charged for it by your dealer.
* For vehicles sold in California, maintenance operations in-
dicated by *3 on page

Other maintenance operations are required by California
regulations and condition the emission warranty.
