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...

Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because
they are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle
crashes are the number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian
province and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained
when they ride in a vehicle...
If you are pregnant, the best way to protect yourself and your unborn child

okay for you to drive...
