DRIVING
Refueling
Use the proper fuel and refueling procedure to ensure the best performance and
safety of your vehicle.
Fuel Information
Use of unleaded premium gasoline of 91 octane or higher is recommended.
• Acura recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
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.
How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel fill cap.
You can insert the filler nozzle directly into the filler
pipe. The tank seals itself again when you pull out
the filler nozzle.
1. The fuel fill door is located at the left rear of the
vehicle. Park next to the service pump that is
most accessible, and turn off the power system.
2. Press the fuel fill door release button. The fuel
fill door opens.
3. Place the end of the filler nozzle on the lower
part of the filler opening, then insert it slowly
and fully. Make sure that the end of the filler
nozzle goes down along with the filler pipe.
4. After filling, wait about 5 seconds before removing the filler nozzle. Close the
fuel fill door by hand.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously
injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the power system and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
