About Your Multi-View Rear Camera

The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see
the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath
the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects
appear closer or farther than they actually are.

Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing
up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and
high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do
not rely on the rearview display which does not give
you all information about conditions at the back of
your vehicle.

If the camera lens is covered with dirt or moisture,
use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens clean and free
of debris.

You can change the Fixed Guideline and Dynamic
Guideline settings.

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 additives 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 detergent 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 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 gasoline. For more information on top
tier gasoline, visit www.toptiergas.com.

■

Fuel tank capacity: 12.81 US gal (48.5 L)

Unleaded gasoline, pump octane number 87 or higher

Fuel Information

NOTICE

We recommend quality gasoline 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 recommend 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, and cause the malfunction
indicator lamp on your instrument panel to come on.
If this happens, contact a dealer for service.
Some gasoline today is blended with oxygenates such
as ethanol. Your vehicle is designed to operate on
oxygenated gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol
by volume. Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try
another service station or switch to another brand of
gasoline.

How to Refuel

Driving

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 seals 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. Unlock the driver’s door using the master

door lock switch.

The fuel fill door on the outer side of the
vehicle will unlock.

2 Using the Master Door Lock Switch

P. 176

4. Press the area indicated by the arrow to

release the fuel fill door. You will hear a
click.

How to Refuel

The fuel filler opening is designed to accept only
service station filler nozzles for refueling. Use of
smaller diameter 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 master 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 briefly opening then closing the
driver’s door.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.

• Turn the power system off, 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.

Make sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler
pipe.

Keep the filler nozzle level.

When the tank is full, the filler nozzle will
click off automatically.

After filling, wait about five seconds
before removing the filler nozzle.

6. Shut the fuel fill door by hand.

How 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 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 a dealer.

Do not continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has
automatically stopped. Additional fuel can exceed
the full tank capacity.

If you have to refuel your vehicle from a portable
container, use the funnel provided with your vehicle.

Fuel Economy and CO

Emissions

Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO

Emissions

Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO

emissions is dependent on several

factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving habits, and
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.

You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the messages displayed on the
driver information interface.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil, displaying the API Certification Seal.
• Maintain the specified tire pressure.
• Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
• Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle’s underside

adds weight and increases wind resistance.

Safety When Performing Maintenance

Some of the most important safety precautions are given here.
However, we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether you should perform a given
task.

• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames

away from the 12-volt battery, all High Voltage system, and all fuel related parts.

• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.

Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them, causing a fire.

• To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not

gasoline.

• Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the 12-volt

battery or compressed air.

• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous and can kill you.

Only operate the engine if there is sufficient ventilation.

• The vehicle must be in a stationary condition.

Make sure your vehicle is parked on level ground, the parking brake is set, and
the power system is turned off.

• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.

Make sure to let the power system including the engine and exhaust system
cool thoroughly before touching vehicle parts.

• Be aware that moving parts can injure you.

Do not activate the power system unless instructed, and keep your hands and
limbs away from moving parts. When the power system is on, the engine can
automatically start, or the radiator fan may start operating without the engine
running.
