Fuel Information  
Fuel recommendation  
1Fuel Information  
Unleaded gasoline, pump octane number 87 or higher  
NOTICE  
We recommend quality gasoline 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 recommend the use of gasoline  
that does NOT contain harmful manganese-based  
fuel additives such as MMT, if such gasoline is  
available.  
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic knocking noise  
that 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 Detergent Gasoline” where available to help  
maintain the performance and reliability of your vehicle. TOP TIER Detergent  
Gasoline meets a new gasoline standard jointly established by leading automotive  
manufacturers to meet the needs of today’s advanced engines.  
Use of gasoline with these additives may adversely  
affect performance, and cause the malfunction  
indicator lamp on your instrument panel to come on.  
If this happens, contact a dealer for service.  
Qualifying gasoline retailers will, in most cases, 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.  
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 gasoline containing methanol.  
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try  
another service station or switch to another brand of  
gasoline.  
For further important fuel-related 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.

4. Remove the fuel fill cap slowly. If you hear a  
release of air, wait until this stops, then turn  
the knob slowly to open the fuel fill cap.  
1How to Refuel  
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.  
If the filler nozzle keeps turning off when the tank is  
not full, there may 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.

5. Place the fuel fill cap in the holder.  
6. Insert the fuel filler nozzle fully.  
u When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will  
click off automatically. This leaves space  
in the fuel tank in case the fuel expands  
with a change in the temperature.  
7. After filling, replace the fuel fill cap,  
tightening it until you hear it click at least  
once.  
Do not continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has  
automatically stopped. Additional fuel can exceed  
the full tank capacity.

u Shut the fuel fill door by hand.

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.  
1Improving Fuel Economy  
Direct calculation is the recommended method to  
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.

You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle.  
Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the messages displayed on the  
information display*/multi-information display*/intelligent multi-information display  
(i-MID).  
Use the recommended viscosity engine oil, displaying the API Certification Seal.  
Maintain the specified tire pressure.  
In Canada, posted fuel economy numbers are  
established following a simulated test. For more  
information on how this test is performed, please visit  
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.
