Fuel Information
■Fuel recommendation
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause occasional metallic knocking noise in the 
engine and will result in decreased engine performance.
Use of gasoline with a pump octane less than 87 can lead to engine damage.
■Top tier detergent gasoline
Because the level of detergency and additives in gasoline vary in the market, Honda 
endorses the use of “TOP TIER Deterg ent Gasoline” where available to help 
maintain the performance and reliability of your vehicle. TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline meets a new gasoline standard join tly established by leading automotive 
manufacturers to meet the need s of today’s advanced engines.
Qualifying gasoline retailers will, in most ca ses, identify their gasoline as having met 
“TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards  at the retail location. This fuel is 
guaranteed to contain the proper level of  detergent additives and be free of metallic 
additives. The proper level of detergent  additives, and absence of harmful metallic 
additives in gasoline, help avoid build-up of deposits in your engine and emission 
control system.
For further important fuel-rel ated information for your vehicle, or on information on 
gasoline that does not contain MMT, visit www.hondacars.com. In Canada, visit 
www.honda.ca for additional information on gasoline. For more information on top 
tier gasoline, visit www.toptiergas.com .
■Fuel tank capacity: 19.5 US gal (73.8 liters)
Unleaded gasoline, pump octane number 87 or higher
1Fuel Information
NOTICE
We recommend quality ga soline containing 
detergent additives that help prevent fuel system and 
engine deposits. In  addition, in order to maintain 
good performance, fuel economy, and emissions 
control, we strongly reco mmend the use of gasoline 
that does NOT contain  harmful manganese-based 
fuel additives such as MMT, if such gasoline is 
available.
Use of gasoline with these additives may adversely 
affect performance, a nd cause the malfunction 
indicator lamp on your inst rument panel to come on. 
If this happens, contact a dealer for service. Some 
gasoline today is  blended with oxygenates such as 
ethanol. Your vehicle is  designed to operate on 
oxygenated gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol 
by volume. Do not use gaso line containing methanol. 
If you notice any undesira ble operating symptoms, try 
another service station or sw itch to another brand of 
gasoline.

Continued
Driving
How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel  filler cap. You can insert the filler nozzle 
directly into the filler neck. The tank seals itself again when you pull out the filler 
nozzle. 1.Stop your vehicle with  the service station 
pump on the left side of the vehicle in the 
rear.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Press the fuel fill door release button.
u The fuel fill door opens.1How to Refuel
The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only 
service station filler nozzles for refueling. Use of 
smaller diameter tubes (e.g ., to siphon fuel for other 
uses) or other non-service station devices can 
damage the area in and around the filler opening.
The filler nozzle automatically stops to leave space in 
the fuel tank so that fuel  does not overflow as a result 
of changes in air temperature.
3WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. 
You can be burned or  seriously injured 
when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks, 
and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.

4. Place the end of the filler nozzle on the 
lower part of filler opening, then insert it 
slowly and fully.
u Make sure that the end of the filler 
nozzle goes down along with the filler 
pipe.
u Keep the filler nozzle level.
u When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will 
click off automatically.
u After filling, wait about five seconds 
before removing th e filler nozzle.
5. Shut the fuel fill door by hand.1How to Refuel
If the fuel filler nozzle keeps turning off when the 
tank is not full, there ma y be a problem with the 
pump’s fuel vapor recovery  system. Try filling at 
another pump. If this  does not fix the problem, 
consult a dealer.
Do not continue to add  fuel after the nozzle has 
automatically stopped. Addi tional fuel can exceed 
the full tank capacity.
If you have to refuel y our vehicle from a portable 
container, use the funnel pr ovided with your vehicle.

Fuel Economy
Improving Fuel Economy
Fuel economy depends on several conditions, including driving conditions, your 
driving habits, the condition of your vehicle, and loading. Depending on these and 
other conditions, you may or may not achieve the rated fuel economy of this vehicle.
You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle. 
Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the messages displayed on the 
MID.
• Use the recommended viscosit y engine oil, displaying the API Certification Seal.
• Maintain the specified tire pressure.
• Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
• Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle’s underside 
adds weight and increases wind resistance.
■Maintenance and Fuel Economy
1Improving Fuel Economy
Direct calculation is  the recommended method to 
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.
In Canada, posted fuel  economy numbers are 
established following a simulated test. For more 
information on how this test  is performed, please visit

Safety When Performing Maintenance
Some of the most important safe ty precautions are given here.
However, we cannot warn you of every  conceivable hazard that can arise in 
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform 
a given task.
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explos ion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames 
away from the battery and all fuel related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
u Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them causing a fire.
• To clean parts, use a co mmercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not 
gasoline.
• Wear eye protection and prot ective clothing when working with the battery or 
compressed air.
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous and can kill you.
u Only operate the engine if th ere is sufficient ventilation.
• The vehicle must be in a stationary condition.
u Make sure your vehicle is parked on le vel ground, the parking brake is set, and 
the engine is off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
u Make sure to let the engine and exhaust system cool thoroughly before 
touching vehicle parts.
• Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
u Do not start the engine unless instruct ed, and keep your hands and limbs away 
from moving parts.
