Fuel Information
■Fuel recommendation
Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a  persistent, heavy metallic knocking noise 
that can lead to engine damage.
Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause oc casional metallic knocking noise in the 
engine and will result in  decreased engine performance.
Use of a gasoline with a pump octane less than 87 can lead to engine damage.
■Top tier detergent gasoline
Because the level of detergency and additive s 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 de tergent 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 informati on 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 gaso line. For more information on top 
tier gasoline, visit  www.toptiergas.com .
■Fuel tank capacity: 12.39 US gal (46.9 liters)

1Fuel Information
NOTICE
We recommend quality ga soline 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 reco mmend 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, a nd cause the malfunction 
indicator lamp on your inst rument panel to come on. 
If this happens, contact a dealer for service.
Some gasoline today is ble nded with oxygenates such 
as ethanol. Your vehicle is designed to operate on 
oxygenated gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol 
by volume. Do not use gaso line containing methanol. 
If you notice any undesira ble operating symptoms, try 
another service station or sw itch to another brand of 
gasoline.

How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel  filler 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 engine.
3. Unlock the driver’s door using the master 
door lock switch.
u The fuel fill door on the outer side of the 
vehicle will unlock.
2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from 
the Inside  P. 146
4.Press the area indicated by the arrow to 
release the fuel fill door. You will hear a 
click.
1How to Refuel
The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only 
service station filler nozzles for refueling. Use of 
smaller diamet er tubes (e.g., those used to siphon 
fuel for other uses) or  other non-service station 
devices can damage the area  in and around the filler 
opening.
Use the lock tab or the ma ster 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 briefl y opening then closing the 
driver’s door.
The 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.
3WARNING
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. 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 the filler nozzle.
6. Shut 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 filler nozzle keeps tu rning off when the tank is 
not full, there may be a problem with the pump’s fuel 
vapor recovery system. Try fi lling 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. 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.

Engine Coolant
This coolant is premixed with 50% an tifreeze and 50% water. Do not add any 
straight antifreeze or water.
We recommend you check the engine coolant  level every time you refuel. Check the 
reserve tank. Add the engine coolant accordingly.
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool .
2. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve 
tank.
u 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.
Specified coolant: Ho nda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2
■Checking the Coolant
1Engine Coolant
NOTICE
Genuine Honda engine coolan t is a 50/50 mixture of 
antifreeze and water that can withstand freezing at 
temperatures as low as about −31°F (−35°C). If your 
vehicle is consistently subjected to temperatures 
below this, the concentration of antifreeze in the 
coolant should be increased. Consult a dealer for 
details.
If Honda antifreeze /coolant is not available, you may 
use another major brand of non-silicate coolant as a 
temporary replacement. Check that it is a high quality 
coolant recommended for  aluminum engines. 
Continued use of any non-Honda coolant can result 
in corrosion, causing the cooling system to 
malfunction or fail. Have  the cooling system flushed 
and refilled with  Honda antifreeze/coolant as soon as 
possible.
3WARNING
Removing the reserve tank 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 reserve tank 
cap.
