Refueling

How to Refuel

Driving

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.

If you do not fill up the tank to full,
always add a minimum of 1.3 US gal (5 L)
of fuel.

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

Shut the fuel fill door by hand.

How to Refuel

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.

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.

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.

Refueling From a Portable Fuel Container

P. 508

If you repeatedly fill the tank with less than the
specified minimum amount of fuel, the malfunction
indicator lamp may come on. If this happens, have
your vehicle checked by a dealer.

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 engine oil with the viscosity recommended.

Recommended Engine Oil

P. 437

•

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.

Turbo Engine Vehicle

Handling Precautions

The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by
delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine driven by
the engine’s exhaust gas pressure.

•

When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid revving the engine or sudden
acceleration.

•

Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Maintenance
Minder

. The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its

temperature reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricated and cooled by engine
oil. If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or
interval, deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal
noise of the turbine bearing.

Turbo Engine Vehicle

The scheduled maintenance intervals for replacing
the filter is indicated on the driver information
interface. Follow the information on replacement
timing.

The temperature gauge pointer is at the

when you restart the engine after driving under high
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly
terrain. This is normal. The gauge goes down after
you idle or drive the vehicle for about one minute.

Before Performing Maintenance

Inspection and Maintenance

For your safety, perform all listed inspections and maintenance to keep your vehicle
in good condition. If you become aware of any abnormality (noise, smell, insufficient
brake fluid, oil residue on the ground, etc.), have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
(Note, however, that service at a dealer is not mandatory to keep your warranties in
effect.)

Routine inspections

Perform inspections before long distance trips, when washing the vehicle, or when
refueling.

Types of Inspection and Maintenance

Inspection and Maintenance

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
emissions control devices and systems may be
done by any automotive repair establishment or
individuals using parts that are “certified” to
EPA standards.

According to state and federal regulations, failure to

items marked with # will not void your emissions
warranties. However, all maintenance services should
be performed in accordance with the intervals
indicated by the driver information interface.

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 battery 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 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.

raised the hood slightly, you can release the
lever.

Remove the support rod from the clamp
using the grip. Mount the support rod in
the hood.

When closing, remove the support rod and
stow it in the clamp, then gently lower the
hood. Remove your hand at a height of
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) and let the
hood close.

Opening the Hood

NOTICE

Do not open the hood when the wiper arms are
raised.
The hood will strike the wipers, resulting in possible
damage to the hood and/or the wipers.

When closing the hood, check that the hood is

If the hood latch lever moves stiffly, or if you can
open the hood without lifting the lever, the latch
mechanism should be cleaned and lubricated.

Do not open the hood while the Auto Idle Stop
function is activated.

NOTICE

Genuine Honda engine coolant 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.

Do not add rust inhibitors or other additives to your
vehicle’s cooling system. They may not be compatible
with the coolant or with the engine components.

WARNING

Removing the radiator cap while the
