pump on the left side of the vehicle in the
rear.
2. Put the transmission into
(P.
3. Turn the power system off.
4. Press the fuel fill door release button.
u Please Wait appears for a few seconds
on the driver info rmation interface.
5. When the message changes to Ready, the
fuel fill door automatically opens.
u You can now unscrew the fuel cap and

6. Remove the fuel fill cap slowly. If you hear a
release of air, wait unti l this stops, then turn
the knob slowly to open the fuel fill cap.
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.
