AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN OWNED FOR APPROXIMATELY 90 DAYS AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 2500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN INITIALLY STARTED IN A STATIONARY POISTION THE INFORMATION DISPLAY PROVIDED MULTIPLE APPARENTLY SPURIOUS ALARMS AND WARNINGS. THESE WARNINGS CONTINUED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. TURNING THE VEHICLER OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLEWOULD NOT CLEAR THE WARNINGS. THE DISPLAY WOULD CYCLE DISPLAYING *ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM*,*LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM PROBLEM*, AND *EMMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM*. ADDTIONALLY THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND LANE DEPARTURE MITIGATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION LIGHTS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO RESET THE CODES USING PROPRIETARY HONDA VEHICLE ANALYSIS SOFTWARE. THE WARNING AND CODES DID NOT RE-APPEAR. THE CAUSE FOR THE WARNINGS WAS NOT DETERMINED. THESE APPARENTLY SPURIOUS WARNINGS PRESENT A SAFETY CONCERN. THEY PROVIDE A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER WHILE CYCLING ON THE INFORMAITON DISPLAY AND COULD CAUSE A DRIVER TO IGNORE VALID WARNINGS IN THE BELIEF THEY TOO ARE SPURIOUS. THE ISSUE IS SUCH THAT IT WARRANTS MONITORING BY THE MANUFACTURER AND NTSB TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE.
