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.
NOTE: The filler cap is a screw-in ratchetting type. Tighten
the cap clockwise until ratchetting clicks are heard.
The removed filler cap can be placed on the inside of the door.
Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Always stop the engine before refueling, and never
refuel near sparks or open flames.
CAUTION: If you replace the cap, use only a genuine Honda
replacement part or its equivalent. Failure to use the proper
part could cause serious fuel system problems.
