It covers operating the 5-speed manual transmission or the 5-speed automatic transmission (including the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters available on the Fit Sport model). It extensively details safety systems like the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and the comprehensive airbag system.
- Comfort and Climate: Detailed instructions for operating the manual climate control system, the power windows and locks, and utilizing the numerous storage cubbies and cupholders integrated into the cabin.
- Vehicle Care and Maintenance: Step-by-step scheduled maintenance guidance utilizing the automated Honda Maintenance Minder system.
