RefuelingFuel Information■Fuel recommendation
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.
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. 
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 tank capacity: 18.5 US gal (70 liters)Unleaded gasoline, pump octane number 87 or higher
1Fuel InformationNOTICEWe 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 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.
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.

How to Refuel
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.Unlock the driver’s door using the lock tab 
or the master door lock switch.
uThe fuel fill door on the outer side of the 
vehicle will unlock.
4.Press the area indicated by the arrow to 
release the fuel fill door. You will hear a 
click.
1How to Refuel
Use the lock tab or the master door lock switch to 
unlock the fuel fill door.
The vehicle doors and fuel fill door automatically 
relock if the remote unlock function is used. This can 
be deactivated by briefly opening then closing the 
driver’s door.NOTICEThe fuel fill door and its latching mechanism can be 
permanently damaged if the fuel fill door is forced 
closed when the driver’s door is locked.

WARNING
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.

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

Power Steering Fluid Check
*
We recommend that you check the power steering fluid level every time you refuel. 
Check when the engine is not running.
1.Look at the side of the reservoir. The fluid 
should be between the UPPER LEVEL and 
LOWER LEVEL.
2.Add power steering fluid if necessary to the 
UPPER LEVEL mark.
uInspect the system for a leak. If the fluid 
level goes below the LOWER LEVEL 
frequently, have the system inspected as 
soon as possible.Specified fluid: Honda Power Steering Fluid
1Power Steering Fluid Check
*
NOTICETurning the steering wheel to full left or right lock 
and holding it there can damage the power steering 
pump.NOTICEPour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill 
any. Clean up any spills immediately; it could damage 
components in the engine compartment.
