Fuel the Vehicle
This vehicle comes with just a small amount of fuel in the tank. To complete the TQI, you need a minimum of
2 gallons
,
so make sure you fuel the vehicle before continuing the TQI. Running with very little fuel in the tank could damage the
high-voltage battery or cause it not to work properly.
Use only premium grade fuel with an octane rating of 91 or
higher.
Make sure the No. 14 BACK UP (7.5 A) fuse is installed
before
filling up the fuel tank (see Install the Fuses). If you do it
without it installed, the fuel gauge will take much longer than normal to show an accurate reading.
If this happens, and you do not want to wait for the gauge to show the correct level, turn the ignition to OFF and let the
vehicle sit for
10 minutes
. Install the fuse, then turn the ignition to ON. The fuel gauge will show the correct level.
If your dealership does not have a fueling station on the premises, you will need to manually fuel the vehicle from a
portable fuel container using the special funnel made for this purpose.
NOTE
Do not
use the funnel from the tool kit in the trunk; it is strictly for client use. Instead, order one (or more) of these
funnels from Acura parts stock as a service tool for your shop. Order P/N 17675-TG7-A01.
