Fuel Information
■Fuel recommendation
Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause a  persistent, heavy metallic knocking noise 
that 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 ad ditives, 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 information 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 .

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.

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 filler 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.
