How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel fill cap. You can insert the filler nozzle
directly into the filler pipe. The tank seals itself again when you pull out the filler
nozzle.
1. The fuel fill door is located at the left rear of the
vehicle. Park next to the service pump that is
most accessible, and turn off the engine.
2. Press the fuel fill door release button. The fuel
fill door opens.
3. Place the end of the filler nozzle on the lower
part of the filler opening, then insert it slowly
and fully. Make sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler pipe.
4. After filling, wait about 5 seconds before
removing the filler nozzle. Close the fuel fill door
by hand.
Refueling
Use the proper fuel and refueling procedure to ensure the best performance and
safety of your vehicle.
Fuel Information
Use of unleaded premium gasoline of 91 octane or higher is recommended.
• Acura recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
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.
NOTICE
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.
WARNING
Cross Traffic Monitor*
Alerts you if a detected vehicle is approaching from a rear corner when your vehicle
is in Reverse (R) at speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) or lower, which can be helpful when
backing out of parking spaces.
The system does not detect pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary objects.
Turning the System On or Off
1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Select Camera Settings.
3. Select Cross Traffic Monitor.
4. Select On or Off.
5. Press BACK to exit the menu.
This system is for your convenience only. The system cannot detect all
approaching vehicles or avoid all possible collisions.
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to reverse the vehicle before doing so
may result in a collision. Do not rely only on the system’s audible and visual
alerts when reversing.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side of your vehicle, and behind you for
other vehicles before reversing your vehicle.
CAUTION
Arrow icons appear on the
side of an approaching
vehicle, and an audible
beep sounds.

Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant level in the
radiator. We recommend Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
Checking the Reserve Tank
1. Open the hood (see page 115). Check the
amount of coolant in the reserve tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add
the specified coolant until it reaches the MAX
mark.
3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Adding Coolant
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
2. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and
relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do
not push the cap down when turning.
3. Push down and turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise to remove it.
4. The coolant level should be up to the base of the
filler neck. Add coolant if it is low.
5. Put the radiator cap back on, and tighten it fully.
6. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it
reaches the MAX mark. Put the cap back on the
reserve tank.
4-cylinder models
6-cylinder models
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator
cap.
WARNING
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expected, the coolant
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer for
more information.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.

Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield
washer reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water
solution can damage the windshield washer pump.
NOTICE
Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If there
is a problem with the sensor, a message appears on multi-information display. Have
your vehicle checked by a dealer.
For jump starting the battery, see page 99.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING
Window Washer Fluid
Check the amount of window washer fluid by looking at
the reservoir. Fill if it is low. Pour the washer fluid carefully.
Do not overflow the reservoir
Canadian models
If the washer fluid is low, a message appears on the multi-
information display.
