Fuel Filler Door and Cap
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain
conditions. Perform this operation in a wel-ventilated area with
the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the area or where gasoline is stored.
The fuel filler door is opened by pulling up on the lever at the left
side of the driver's seat.
The door will lock automatically when closed; push it until it clicks.

CAUTION:

You may hear a hiss when you open the filler cap. This sound is residual pressure escaping from the fuel tank. Open the cap slowly
and remove the cap after the hissing stops. Fuel spray may cause
injury. Do not overfill the tank; fill only until the gas pump clicks off
automatically and never top off.

The factory installed tires on your car were selected to match the
car's performance capabilities and to provide the best combination
of handling, ride comfort and tread wear.
We recommend that you get the same size, type, and grade of tires when replacement is necessary. If your tires have an all-season
tread design, the model name will be followed by the marking: "M + S" (mud and snow) or "all-season".
If you decide not to get the same brand of tires as those originally
installed, you should make sure that the replacements are the radial
type, of the same size, load range and speed rating as the original

tires.
If you have any questions about your car's tires, please contact
your Honda dealer.

Inflation Pressures

The tire label in the glove box lists recommended tire pressures for
carrying loads up to the limit shown. (Tire pressures are also listedon the back cover of this manual.)
These pressures were chosen to provide you with the best combi- nation of tread life, riding comfort and stability under normal driving

conditions.

Improper inflation can reduce both tire life and load carrying
capacity. Check the tire pressures at least once a month, including
the spare. Lower pressure than recommended lets the tread and side walls flex
too much, causing increased tire temperatures, uneven wear, and poor handling. Pressure higher than recommended can make the tire
too stiff, increasing the chance of damage from road hazards, and also causing uneven wear.
