uuRefueling uHow to Refuel
Driving
How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel fill cap. You can insert the filler nozzle
directly into the filler neck. The tank seal s itself again when you pull out the filler
nozzle.
1.Stop your vehicle with the service station
pump on the left side of the vehicle in the
rear.
2. Turn off the power system.
3. Press the fuel fill door release button.
u The fuel fill door opens.
4. Place the end of the filler nozzle on the
lower part of filler opening, then insert it
slowly and fully.
u Make sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler
pipe.
u Keep the filler nozzle level.
u When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will
click off automatically.
u After filling, wait about five seconds
before removing th e filler nozzle.
5. Shut the fuel fill door by hand.1How to Refuel
The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only
service station filler nozzles for refueling. Use of
smaller diameter tubes (e.g ., to siphon fuel for other
uses) or other non-service station devices can
damage the area in and around the filler opening.
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 an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
Do not continue to add fuel after the nozzle has
automatically stopped. Addi tional fuel can exceed
the full tank capacity.
If you have to refuel y our vehicle from a portable
container, use the funnel pr ovided with your vehicle.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.
•Turn the power sy stem off, and keep
heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
