Fuel InformationUse of unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or higher is recommended.
• 
Honda 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 mainta\
in 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
How to Refuel
Your fuel tank features a capless design. You can insert the filler nozzle directly
into the filler pipe. The tank seals itself when you pull out the fi\
ller nozzle.

*1: If a Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 12 months afte\
r the display is
reset, change the engine oil every year.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every \
24,000 km (15,000 miles).
*3:
If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of s\
oot in the air from industryand diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen lter every \
24,000 km (15,000 miles).
*4: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in highe\
r transmission
temperatures. This requires transmission uid changes more frequently\
than recommended by
the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the
transmission uid changed every 40,000 km (25,000 miles).
*5: If a Maintenance Minder Indicator does not appear more than 36 months after the display for
item7 is reset, change the brake uid every 3 years.#: See information on maintenance and emissions warranty.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diag\
nostic system.
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the
testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes \
off, the
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes \
are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness cod\
es are set,
prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°\
C and 35°C).
4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
for 20
seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral for manual transmission. Incre\
ase the
engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the \
highway
with the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear. Do not use cruise control. When traffic
allows, drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (vehicle speed
may vary slightly; this is oK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds
because of traffic conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then rep\
eat two more
times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic\
conditions
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set\
again
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, y\
ou may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your de\
aler.
