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.

Fuel Fill Door

Release Handle

WARNING

2. Turn off the engine.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.

You can be burned or seriously injured

when handling fuel.

3. Pull on the fuel fill door release handle

under the driver’s side lower outside corner

of the dashboard.

Pull

u The fuel fill door opens.

• Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks,

and flame away.

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.

• Handle fuel only outdoors.

• Wipe up spills immediately.

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.

Do not continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has

automatically stopped. Additional fuel can exceed

the full tank capacity.

Cap

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.

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.

Holder

u Shut the fuel fill door by hand.

Fuel Economy and CO₂Emissions

Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO₂

Emissions

Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO₂emissions is dependent on several

factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving habits, and

vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the

rated fuel economy of this vehicle.

Maintenance and Fuel Economy

■

In Canada, posted fuel economy numbers are

established following a simulated test. For more

information on how this test is performed, please visit

http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/

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.

• Use engine oil with the viscosity recommended.

2 Recommended Engine Oil P. 531

• 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.
