1 How to Refuel
This vehicle has a pressurized fuel system.
When the fuel vapor pressure inside the fuel tank is
high, it takes about 10 seconds for the vehicle to vent
the fuel tank. Once the pressure is vented, the driver
information interface changes from Please Wait to
Ready.
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 an authorized
Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer.
Do not continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has
automatically stopped. Addi tional fuel can exceed
the full tank capacity.
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.
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.

4.Add fuel very slowly.
u The automatic fuel tank vent valve does
not operate when the fuel fill door is
opened manually. Trying to add fuel too
rapidly when the vent valve is closed will
cause fuel vapors to be pushed out the
filler pipe and can cause a small amount
of liquid fuel to be spilled onto the
ground.

using the manual fuel door release. Gradually release
pressure by slowly turning th e fuel fill cap to the left.
