Honda CR-V: Driving / Turbo Engine Vehicle
The scheduled maintenance intervals for replacing
the filter is indicated on the driver information
interface. Follow the information of when to replace
them.
The temperature gauge pointer is at the
mark
when you restart the engine after driving under high
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly
terrain. This is normal. The gauge goes down after
you idle or drive the vehicle for about one minute.
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by
delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine
driven by
the engine's exhaust gas pressure.
- When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid revving the engine or
sudden
acceleration.
- Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the
Maintenance
Minder. The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its
temperature reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricated and cooled by
engine
oil. If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled
distance or
interval, deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and
abnormal
noise of the turbine bearing.
Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2 Emissions
Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO2
emissions is dependent on several
factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving habits,
and
vehicle condition...
Other information:
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use
the proper
equipment, and follow the towing guidelines. Check the load limits before
driving.
Total trailer weight
Maximum allowable weight of the trailer,
cargo, and everything in or on it must not
exceed 1,500 lbs (680 kg)...
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors,
exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your
field of
vision while driving...
