Refueling
Use the proper fuel and refueling procedure to ensure the best performance and safety of your vehicle.
■Fuel Information
Use of unleaded 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.
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.
■Refueling from a Portable Fuel Container
If you need to refuel your vehicle from a portable fuel container, use the funnel provided with your vehicle.
- Turn off the engine.
- Press the fuel fill door release button. The fuel fill door opens.
- Remove the funnel from the tool box.
- Place the end of the funnel on the lower part of the filler opening, then insert it slowly and fully. Make sure that the end of the funnel goes down along with the filler pipe.
- Fill the tank with fuel from the portable fuel container. Pour fuel carefully so you do not spill any.
- Remove the funnel from the filler neck. Wipe up any fuel from the funnel before storing it.
- Shut the fuel fill door by hand.
Do not insert the nozzle of a portable fuel container or any funnel other than the one provided with your vehicle. Doing so can damage the fuel system. Do not try to pry open or push open the sealed fuel tank with foreign objects. This can damage the fuel system and its seal.
