2014 HONDA CIVIC COUPE heater

Introduction
Your vehicle runs on compressed natural gas (CNG), a highly
pressurized version of the same clean-burning natural gas used in
many homes and businesses.
Your vehicle operates and performs like a gasoline-powered
vehicle. However, there are a few differences you should be aware
of. In addition to reading your vehicle’s owner’s manual, please
read this supplement carefully to understand the operation and
unique features of your vehicle.
You will find important safety information in this supplement and
in the owner’s manual. This information alerts you to potential
hazards that could hurt you or others. Please read it carefully.
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), Your Vehicle’s
Fuel
The main component of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is
methane. It is a highly flammable colorless gas that is used in
home appliances such as kitchen stoves and water heaters.
The CNG in your vehicle is stored under high pressure. The system
is designed to hold gas at the maximum of 3,600 psi/24,800 kPa,
and you should never smell gas or hear a hissing sound unless you
are refueling. If you smell gas or hear a hissing sound at any other
time, shut down the CNG system immediately.
If a Fuel Leak is Detected P.37
Safety Standards of the Fuel Tank
Your vehicle’s fuel tank meets the safety standards of NGV- 2/
NFPA-52/DOT NHTSA FMVSS 304.

Starting the Engine
Starting the Engine
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
The engine is harder to start in cold weather and
in thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet
(2,400 meters).
When starting the engine in cold weather, turn
off all electrical accessories (the lights, heating
and cooling system, and rear defogger) in order to
reduce battery drain.
If you live in a region where winter is extremely
cold, an engine block heater will improve starting
and warming of the engine. If temperatures
consistently below -22°F (-30°C) are expected, the
coolant mixture should be changed to a higher
concentration to prevent freezing. Consult a dealer
for details.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you
can smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have
your vehicle checked by a dealer. There may be a
problem with the engine or exhaust system.
Brake Pedal
1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Check that the shift lever is in P
, then
depress the brake pedal.
Although it is possible to start the vehicle
in
N, it is safer to start it in P.
