HONDA 2006 Civic Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 64)

If you turn the steering wheel to the
full left or right repeatedly while
stopping or driving at very low speed,
you may feel slightly harder steering
due to overheating of the steering
gear box.
Continuously driving under those
conditions could damage the power
steering system.
This indicator reminds you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance. The
maintenance main items and sub
items will be displayed in the
information display. See page
for
more information on the
maintenance minder.
This indicator goes off when your
dealer resets it after completing the
required maintenance service.
This indicator normally comes on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position and goes off
after the engine starts. If it comes on
at any other time, there is a problem
in the electric power steering system.
If this happens, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and turn off the engine.
Reset the system by restarting the
engine. The indicator will not turn
off immediately. If it does not go off
after driving a short distance, or
comes back on again while driving,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
have it checked. With the indicator
on, the EPS may be off, making the
vehicle harder to steer.
To protect the engine from damage,
never drive with the tachometer in
its red zone.
This indicator shows you when the
engine speed is near the tachometer’s
red zone. When the engine speed
gets to near the red zone, the
indicator blinks. If you exceed the
maximum speed for the gear you are
in, the indicator stays on, and you
may feel the engine cut in and out
due to the engine speed limiter (see
page
).
