You will find important safetyinformation in this supplement andin the owner’s manual. Thisinformation alerts you to potentialhazards that could hurt you or others.Please read it carefully.

Your Civic GX runs on CompressedNatural Gas (CNG), a highlypressurized version of the sameclean-burning natural gas used inmany homes.

Your Civic GX operates andperforms like a gasoline-poweredCivic. However, there are a fewdifferences you should be aware of.In addition to reading the CivicSedan owner’s manual, please readthis supplement carefully tounderstand the operation and uniquefeatures of your Civic GX.

This gauge shows how much fuelyou have. The quantity of fuelremaining in the tank is calculatedbased on the pressure andtemperature of the natural gas in thefuel tank.

The gauge may show slightly moreor less than the actual amount. Theoutside temperature, fill method andambient conditions may affect thepressure and temperature of thenatural gas.

The lower ‘‘F’’ mark indicates a fulltank at a fill pressure of 3,000 psi.The upper ‘‘F’’ mark indicates a fulltank at a fill pressure of 3,600 psi.

The CNG fuel system in your Civic,including the tank and hose, hasbeen designed to hold gas at thispressure. It has also been tested forsafety. You should never smell gasor hear a hissing sound unless youare refueling. If you smell gas orhear a hissing sound at any othertime, you need to shut down the fuelsystem. Follow the instructions onpage .

Your Civic GX is designed to operateon Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).The natural gas you use to refuelmust meet NFPA-52 and SAE J1616standards for fuel composition andquality.

If you use a fuel that does not meetthese standards, you may feel adecrease in engine power and yourvehicle’s emissions controls may bedamaged.

The main component of compressednatural gas is methane, a highlyflammable, colorless gas. While it isthe same gas that is burned ineveryday home appliances such askitchen stoves and water heaters,the CNG in your vehicle is storedunder high pressure (maximum3,600 psi/24,800 kPa).

Compressed natural gas isflammable and highly explosive.You could be killed or seriouslyinjured if leaking natural gas isignited.

If you suspect a leak, have yourvehicle immediately inspectedand repaired by an authorizedHonda Civic GX dealer.

０２／０５／２４　１０：２８：０１　３１Ｓ５Ａ９２０　０００８　

Your vehicle has an identifying‘‘CNG’’ label attached next to therear license plate. Do not removethis label. This label is necessary forinsuring your vehicle. Drivingwithout this label may violate thelaws or regulations in some states.

There are two methods of refueling,fast filling or slow filling.

Fast filling is normally used in fuelstations for natural gas vehicles. Ittakes about three to five minutes tofill up the fuel tank.

When refueling, you should use afuel fill nozzle that complies withANSI/AGA NGV-1-1994 standards.Nozzles are designed according totheir maximum fill pressure: P24 for2,400 psi (pounds per square inch),P30 for 3,000 psi, and P36 for 3,600psi.

Slow filling is done with a vehiclerefueling appliance. Refueling takesapproximately 1 hour per gallon.

Always observe all safetyrecommendations and operatinginstructions on the refuelingequipment.

Your Civic’s maximum fill pressureis 3,600 psi (24,800 kPa), so youshould refuel with a P36 nozzle.Using a P30 nozzle will fill the tankto the second (3,000 psi) fill mark onthe fuel gauge. Using a P24 nozzlewill not fill the tank completely.

During a fast fill, the natural gas willbe warmed by the refueling process,causing it to expand and reduce theamount of fuel you can put in.

Fuel, Refueling Procedure

Before Driving

CNG Identification Refueling Procedure

Follow the instructions on therefueling station to begin refueling.

Securely connect the CNG fillnozzle to the fuel receptacle byturning the lever until the arrowson the nozzle point to each other. While refueling, you may hear a

chattering sound. This is normal.

Disconnect the CNG fill nozzlefrom the fuel receptacle byturning the lever on the nozzle 180degrees. You may hear a briefhissing sound as a small amount ofgas escapes. This is normal.

Refueling will stop automaticallywhen the tank is full. Follow theinstructions on the refuelingstation to turn it off.

If you hear or see fuel/vaporleaking from the nozzle-receptacleconnection, stop refuelingimmediately. Dirt or other debrismay be preventing a positiveconnection. Turn off the refuelingstation, remove the nozzle,reconnect it to the receptacle, andbegin refueling again. If itcontinues to leak, have anauthorized Honda Civic GX dealerinspect the sealing O-ring in thereceptacle for damage and wear.

A manual shut-off valve is locatedunderneath the vehicle, near the reartire on the driver’s side. Werecommend that you locate thisvalve so you can find it quickly.

The in-tank fuel shut-off valve iscontrolled by the ignition switch.When the ignition switch is in theLOCK (0) or ACCESSORY (I)position, the valve is closed, shuttingoff fuel flow to the engine. It openswhen the ignition switch is turned toON (II). This is similar to how anelectric fuel pump works in agasoline-powered vehicle.

Fuel system maintenance and repairshould be done only by an authorizedHonda Civic GX dealer.

If the engine does not start within15 seconds, or starts but stallsright away, repeat step 5 with theaccelerator pedal pressed half-waydown. If the engine starts, releasepressure on the accelerator pedalso the engine does not race.

An engine is harder to start in coldweather. The thinner air found athigh altitude above 5,000 feet (1,600meters) adds to the problem.Use the following procedure:

Turn off all electrical accessoriesto reduce the drain on the battery.

Make sure the MalfunctionIndicator Lamp goes out beforeyou turn the ignition key to theSTART (III) position.

If the outside temperature is below4°F ( 20°C), the engine may be

harder to start. In this case, use thestarting procedure for cold weatherat high altitude described in the nextcolumn.

Without touching the acceleratorpedal, turn the ignition key to theON (II) position. You may hear aclick from the in-tank fuel shut-offvalve.

Make sure the MalfunctionIndicator Lamp goes out beforeyou turn the ignition key to theSTART (III) position.

Turn the ignition key to START(III). If the engine does not startright away, do not hold the key inSTART (III) for more than 15seconds at a time. Pause for atleast 10 seconds before tryingagain.

If the engine still does not start,press the accelerator pedal all theway down and hold it there whilestarting. As before, keep theignition key in the START (III)position for no more than 15seconds. Return to step 6 if theengine does not start. If it starts,lift your foot off the acceleratorpedal so the engine does not race.

Use this position foryour normal driving. The transmis-sion automatically adjusts to keepthe engine at the best speed fordriving conditions. To help theengine warm up faster, the transmis-sion will select ratios that allow theengine to run at higher speeds whenit is cold.

If you have done all of the above andstill cannot move the lever out ofPark, see Shift Lock Release in themain Owner’s manual.

You must also press the releasebutton to shift into Park. To avoidtransmission damage, come to acomplete stop before shifting intoPark. The shift lever must be in Parkbefore you can remove the key fromthe ignition switch.

To shift from Re-verse to Park, see the explanationunder Park. To shift to Reverse fromNeutral, come to a complete stopfirst. Press the release button beforeshifting into Reverse from Neutral.

Use Neutral if youneed to restart a stalled engine, or ifit is necessary to stop briefly withthe engine idling. Shift to Park posi-tion if you need to leave the vehiclefor any reason. Press on the brake pe-dal when you are moving the shiftlever from Neutral to another gear.

This positionmechanically locks the transmission.Use Park whenever you are turningoff or starting the engine. To shiftout of Park, you must press on thebrake pedal, have your foot off theaccelerator pedal, and press therelease button on the front of theshift lever.

When the vehicle reaches themaximum speed in any shift position,you may feel the engine cut in andout. This is caused by a limiter (112mph, 180 km/h) in the engine’scomputer controls. The engine willrun normally when you reduce thespeed to below the maximum.

The CVT shifts automatically tomaintain proper engine speed in anyshift position.

Selecting Secondshifts the transmission into a lowerrange of ratios for better accelera-tion and increased engine braking.Use Second when you are goingdown a steep hill, or in stop-and-godriving.

To shift to Low, pressthe release button on the front of theshift lever. Use Low to get morepower when climbing, and formaximum engine braking whengoing down steep hills.

For faster acceleration when in D, Sor L, the transmission willautomatically ‘‘kick down’’ to a lowerrange of ratios by pushing theaccelerator pedal to the floor.
