4. Press the ECON button again to turn the system off.

When turned on, performance of the vehicle’s engine, transmission, cruise control, and air conditioning system are adjusted to maximize fuel efficiency.

Real-time Fuel Efficiency Coach

The system provides real-time feedback on your driving style through the Eco Drive Bar on the i-MID and the Ambient Meter’s background color.

For best results, keep the Eco Drive bar near the center and the Ambient Meter at GREEN.

The Eco Assist Scoring system monitors the fuel efficiency of your driving style in real time and converts the results into leaves, displayed in a series of five “plant” icons on the i-MID’s Ecological Drive Display.

• As you drive in a fuel-efficient manner, you earn leaves. If you drive inefficiently, you lose them.

• Each time you reach a new stage of efficiency, a Stage Up Recognition icon briefly appears on the i-MID.

• When you reach the highest ranking, a Trophy icon briefly appears.

• When you turn the vehicle off, your drive cycle score and lifetime score are displayed on the i-MID.

To maximize fuel efficiency, the Auto Idle Stop feature shuts the engine off at a stop.

1. While driving, the engine is on.

2. At a stop with the brake pedal pressed, the engine turns off.

3. When you take your foot off the brake pedal, the engine turns back on.

Note: Auto Idle Stop only functions if you come to a stop with the shift lever in the D or N position. Idle stop occurrence and duration vary depending on conditions like climate control operation, IMA battery level, and outside temperature.

What to Do When the Indicator is On:

When the tire pressure drops significantly, the low tire pressure indicator comes on. If a message also appears on the i-MID, there may be a system problem.

1. Visually inspect the tires for damage.

2. Use a tire air pressure gauge to check which tire(s) have low pressure.

3. Inflate the tire(s), if necessary, to the recommended pressures listed on the label on the driver’s doorjamb.

4. Start TPMS calibration.

You need to recalibrate the system any time you inflate, change, or rotate one or more of your tires. Use the buttons on the steering wheel to operate the Vehicle Menu.

1. Press MENU.

2. Select Customize Settings.

3. Select TPMS Calibration.

4. Select Initialize.

5. Select Yes.

6. Calibration begins and will finish automatically. The process takes about 30 minutes of driving 30-60 mph.

3. When you turn off the windshield wipers, the headlights turn off shortly after.

How It Works

The LaneWatch™ system helps you check your right blind spot when you make a lane change to the right.

• When the right turn signal is activated, a camera located in the passenger side door mirror shows the right rear area outside your vehicle on the display.

• To view a constant real-time display, press the LaneWatch button on the end of the turn signal switch. Press it again to turn the display off. The display will still appear when the right turn signal is activated, even if turned off via the button.

The FCW system alerts you to the possibility of a front-end collision.

• At 10 mph or higher, a camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror detects a vehicle in front of you.

• If the system determines that a collision is likely, it warns you with visual and audible alerts.

• The warning timing can be set to Long, Normal, or Short in the Vehicle Menu.

• If you do not brake in time or take preventive action, “BRAKE” flashes in the i-MID and a beep sounds continuously.

FCW may not activate under certain conditions. You can change the distance warning setting and turn the system off in the Vehicle Menu.

How It Works

LDW alerts you if your vehicle begins to move out of a detected lane without the turn signal being activated.

• A camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror determines if your vehicle begins to move away from the center of a detected lane while driving between 40-90 mph.

• If you cross a detected lane line without using your turn signal, a “LANE DEPARTURE” message appears on the i-MID and a beep sounds.

LDW may not activate under certain conditions.

Use of unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or higher is recommended for your HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 2014.

• Honda recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.

• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.

• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.

• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.

Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based fuel additive. Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT can deteriorate your vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emission control system. Always use MMT-free gasoline if available.

Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add to the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types of collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.

Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infant seat in the front passenger’s seat as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously injure an infant.
