What Is The Honda Maintenance Minder & How Does It Work?

Created as a way to inform drivers of their specific vehicle maintenance needs, the Honda Maintenance Minder works by measuring and recording sensors at various points throughout your vehicle and can determine the best time to schedule service at our San Antonio dealership. If a problem or concern is detected, the system will then showcase a unique maintenance code on your vehicle instrument panel or dashboard to inform you of what items need to be serviced.

This intelligent system can also coordinate oil change service dates and other maintenance check-ups as well as keep you in the loop with updated information regarding your ride's remaining oil life. To view your oil use progression, simply press the Select/Reset knob on the information display. When the Honda Maintenance Minder determines that you have reached 15% remaining oil life, a specific code and icon will illuminate on your dashboard to signal that an oil change is due soon.
