    • *1 Horsepower and torque calculations reflect SAE net, Rev. 08/04, SAE J1349 procedures.
    • 2 None of the features we describe are intended to replace the driver's responsibility to exercise due care while driving. Drivers should not use handheld devices or operate certain vehicle features unless it is safe and legal to do so. Some features have technological limitations. For additional feature information, limitations and restrictions, please visit www.honda.ca/disclaimers and refer to the vehicle's Owner's Manual.
    • 3 For optimal tire wear and performance, the pressure should be checked regularly with a tire gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system.
    • 4 Only compatible with certain devices and operating systems. Operation may be dependent upon: 1. GPS satellite signal reception and available cellular data and/or voice connection; or 2. connection to vehicle's built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, if applicable. Associated charges (incl. data plans, roaming charges or other amounts charged by your wireless carrier) may apply.
    • 5 Operation requires wireless mobile phone to be paired with the vehicle. Operation is dependent upon cellular data and/or voice connection availability and GPS satellite signal reception.
    • 6 Map database covers major metropolitan areas in Canada and the 48 contiguous U.S. states.
    • 7 HomeLink® can be programmed with codes of up to three remote-control devices (e.g., garage-door opener, home security system, etc.).
    • 8 The availability of certain GPS satellite and/or cellular networks is required for HondaLink™ to operate properly. Service interruptions may occur and/or vehicle system upgrades may be required if cellular network availability is compromised. Some restrictions may apply. For additional HondaLink™ information, please visit www.honda.ca/hondalink and www.honda.ca/privacy.
