The Honda Accord Coupe 2012 is not specifically designed for towing, and it is recommended to avoid towing heavy loads to prevent potential damage to the vehicle's drivetrain.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure regular maintenance such as oil changes and air filter replacements. Keep tires properly inflated, drive smoothly, and avoid excessive idling.
Common causes of a check engine light include a loose gas cap, faulty oxygen sensors, worn spark plugs, and issues with the catalytic converter. It's best to use an OBD-II scanner to identify the specific issue.
To change the cabin air filter, open the glove box and remove the limiting stops on each side. Locate the cabin air filter cover behind the glove box, remove it, pull out the old filter, and insert a new one. Reassemble the glove box.
If the battery keeps dying, check for electrical drains such as lights left on, faulty alternator, or bad battery connections. Consider having the battery and charging system tested at a professional service center.
