Acura 2012 MDX - Manual (Page 431)

Refueling
1. Park with the driver's side closest
to the service station pump.
2. Open the fuel fill door by pressing
the button in the driver's door. (To
open the fuel fill door manually,
see page 572.)
3. Remove the fuel fill cap slowly.
You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank equalizes.
Place the cap in the holder on the
fuel fill door.
4. Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to
‘‘top off’’ the tank. Leave
some room for the fuel to expand
with temperature changes.
If the fuel nozzle keeps clicking off
even though the tank is not full,
there may be a problem with your
vehicle's fuel vapor recovery system.
The system helps keep fuel vapor
from going into the atmosphere. Try
filling at another pump. If this does
not fix the problem, consult your
dealer.
Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. You can be
burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.
● Stop the engine, and keep
heat, sparks, and flame
away.
● Handle fuel only outdoors.
● Wipe up spills immediately.
