This comprehensive PDF file contains the complete, original owner’s manual for the 2006 Honda S2000. The 2006 model year (part of the AP2 generation) is significant as it introduced Drive-by-Wire throttle and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) to the S2000 for the first time, while continuing to utilize the torque-enhanced 2.2L F22C1 engine. Because of the car’s extreme performance envelope, this detailed guide is absolutely essential for owners and enthusiasts to fully utilize the vehicle’s features, understand its advanced safety systems, and perform the rigorous preventative maintenance to keep this legendary sports car running flawlessly.
The manual covers the following key topics in detail:
- Vehicle Overview and Roadster Operation: A detailed introduction to the S2000’s driver-focused cockpit. It provides crucial, step-by-step instructions on safely lowering and raising the power-operated soft top, securing the latches, and installing the tonneau cover. It also covers maximizing passenger comfort and operating the unique hidden audio controls.
- Safety Systems (Including VSA): Essential details on safety features, including proper seatbelt usage and the dual-stage airbag system. Critically for the 2006 model, it explains the operation of the newly added Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) system, how it interacts with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and how to manually disable VSA for track driving.
- Instruments and Controls: A full breakdown of the iconic, F1-inspired digital dashboard layout. It explains every warning light on the instrument cluster, how to read the sweeping digital tachometer, how to operate the exterior lighting, and how to safely use the steering column controls.
- Comfort and Convenience: Detailed instructions for navigating the interior convenience features. It covers the manual climate control systems (heater and air conditioning), the factory audio system (with the signature dashboard-mounted control pod), and the operation of the power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- Driving and Operating: Best practices for starting and driving the vehicle. It thoroughly explains the operation of the precise 6-speed manual transmission. It also provides basic safety guidelines for driving a high-performance rear-wheel-drive vehicle in various weather conditions. (Note: Towing a trailer with the S2000 is strictly prohibited.)
- Vehicle Care and Maintenance: Step-by-step scheduled maintenance guidance utilizing the newly introduced automated Honda Maintenance Minder system. It includes instructions for checking vital fluids on the high-revving 2.2L VTEC engine (stressing the importance of frequent oil checks), checking tire pressures for the staggered wheel setup, replacing filters, deciphering the fuse box diagrams, and handling roadside emergencies (such as safely using the jack and accessing the spare tire).
Whether you need to remember the exact sequence for securing the convertible top, understand how the VSA system intervenes, or locate the correct fuse for the interior lights, this manual is a vital resource for mastering your 2006 Honda S2000.
