HONDA 2008 Pilot - Manual (Page 75)

This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise
from the bottom white mark to about
the middle white mark. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the pointer may rise to the
upper white mark. If it reaches the
red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the
side of the road. Turn to page
for
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine’s cooling
system.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized before doing this
procedure.
This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Centigrade (Canadian
models). To see the outside
temperature, press and release the
select/reset knob until the
temperature is displayed.
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to
5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C
in Canadian models) warmer or
cooler.
Select the outside temperature
indicator, then press the select/reset
knob for 10 seconds. The following
sequence will appear for 1 second
each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
5, 4, 3, 2,
1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2,
1, 0 (Canada).
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
forming on the road surface.
When the temperature reaches the
desired value, release the select/
reset knob. You should see the new
outside temperature displayed.
The temperature sensor is in the
front bumper. Therefore, the
temperature reading can be affected
by heat reflection from the road
surface, engine heat, and the
exhaust from surrounding traffic.
This can cause an incorrect
temperature reading when your
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes.
