Introduction

Your vehicle runs on compressed natural gas (CNG), a highly

pressurized version of the same clean-burning natural gas used in

many homes and businesses.

Your vehicle operates and performs like a gasoline-powered

vehicle. However, there are a few differences you should be aware

of. In addition to reading your vehicle’s owner’s manual, please

read this supplement carefully to understand the operation and

unique features of your vehicle.

You will find important safety information in this supplement and

in the owner’s manual. This information alerts you to potential

hazards that could hurt you or others. Please read it carefully.

CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), Your Vehicle’s

Fuel

The main component of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is

methane. It is a highly flammable colorless gas that is used in

home appliances such as kitchen stoves and water heaters.

The CNG in your vehicle is stored under high pressure. The system

is designed to hold gas at the maximum of 3,600 psi/24,800 kPa,

and you should never smell gas or hear a hissing sound unless you

are refueling. If you smell gas or hear a hissing sound at any other

time, shut down the CNG system immediately.

If a Fuel Leak is Detected P.37

Safety Standards of the Fuel Tank

Your vehicle’s fuel tank meets the safety standards of NGV-2/

NFPA-52/DOT NHTSA FMVSS 304.

Home

Fuel Quality and Home Refueling

In order to insure that your Civic Natural Gas vehicle receives

CNG fuel with quality equal to or above the NFPA-52 and SAE

J1616 fuel standards, Honda only recommends that your vehicle

be refueled at a public commercial-grade CNG refueling station.

Public stations offer an approximately five minute refueling time,

and the assurance of natural gas quality meeting NFPA and SAE

standards.

Public refueling stations use commercial quality filtering and

drying equipment that helps to assure your vehicle will only be

refueled with automotive grade CNG, meeting the NFPA and

SAE standards. Due to the nature of home natural gas supplies

from gas companies, even with filtering and drying equipment,

it is possible to introduce moisture into your vehicle’s CNG tank

and fueling system, possibly resulting in damage to the system.

Moisture damage can require inconvenient and costly repairs.

Due to the wide variation of natural gas quality for home use,

Honda does not recommend the use of home refueling at this

time. If you choose to use a home refueling device, you should

consult with the equipment manufacturer and the local natural

gas contractor that installs the equipment. Ask them to evaluate

the quality of the natural gas at the location the refueling

equipment will be installed. They may recommend additional

filtering and drying equipment, and a schedule for maintaining

this equipment to insure delivery of natural gas that meets

the NFPA and SAE standards of fuel quality. It is important to

understand the quality of fuel not just when it is evaluated, but

the range of quality, particularly moisture content, from the

natural gas provider.

The choice to use a slow fill or home refueling equipment,

evaluation of the suitability of using this equipment, installation

and proper maintenance of the equipment, and any damage

associated with the use of this equipment, is the sole responsibility

of you, the owner.

If your vehicle needs repairs, is examined by an authorized

Honda Civic Natural Gas automobile dealer, and is found to have

contamination in the fuel system or damage to the fuel system as

a result of using sub standard natural gas, your warranty claim for

repairs may be denied.

Starting the Engine

Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when

starting the engine.

The engine is harder to start in cold weather and

in thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet

(2,400 meters).

When starting the engine in cold weather, turn

off all electrical accessories (the lights, heating

and cooling system, and rear defogger) in order to

reduce battery drain.

If you live in a region where winter is extremely

cold, an engine block heater will improve starting

and warming of the engine. If temperatures

consistently below -22°F (-30°C) are expected, the

coolant mixture should be changed to a higher

concentration to prevent freezing. Consult a dealer

for details.

If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you

can smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have

your vehicle checked by a dealer. There may be a

problem with the engine or exhaust system.

Fuel Information

Only fuels that can be used

NFPA-52 and SAE J1616 standards

Use of a fuel that does not meet these standards can cause a decrease in engine

power and damage the emission controls.

Fuel tank capacity:

Slow filling

6.96 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,000 psi)

7.77 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,600 psi)

Fast filling

5.84 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,000 psi)

6.51 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,600 psi)

How to Refuel

There are two methods of refueling:

Fast filling

It takes about three to five minutes to fill up the fuel tank. This method is usually

available at stations designed to refuel natural gas vehicles.

During fast filling, the natural gas is warmed, causing the pressure in the tank to

rise and reduces the amount of fuel you can put in.

Slow filling

It takes about an hour and a half per GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) to fill up

the fuel tank. This method can be done using a vehicle refueling appliance.

NOTICE

Using fast fill equipment at temperature below -4°F

(-20°C) may damage the fuel system, potentially

causing a leak.

Always observe all safety recommendations and

operating instructions on the refueling equipment.

Use a fuel filler nozzle that complies with ANSI/AGA

NGV-1-2008 standards.

The CNG filler nozzle mechanism may vary by

service station. Each nozzle standard has different

maximum pressure:

P24

•－ 2,400 psi (16,500 kPa)

P30

•－ 3,000 psi (20,700 kPa)

P36

•－ 3,600 psi (24,800 kPa)

The refueling steps shown in this manual are the

typical fast fill refueling procedure. You may need

to go through different steps at a station with slow

fill equipment or other types of equipment. Always

follow the instructions provided on site.

1. Stop your vehicle with the service station

pump on the left side of the vehicle in the

rear.

2. Turn off the engine.

How to Refuel

If you hear or see fuel/vapor leaking from the

nozzle-receptacle connection, stop refueling

immediately. Turn off the refueling station, remove

the nozzle, reconnect it to the receptacle, and begin

refueling again. Dirt or debris adhered to the inside

of the fuel receptacle can cause a gas leak. Remove

dirt or debris from the CNG filler nozzle with a

clean, dry rag.

If it continues to leak, have an authorized CNG

dealer inspect the sealing O-ring in the fuel

receptacle. It may be missing, damaged, or worn.

If you are not sure how to operate the refueling

station, ask for assistance.

6. Turn the lever until the arrows on the

nozzle point to each other, then follow

the instructions on the refueling station to

begin refueling.

While refueling, you may hear a chattering

sound. This is normal.

7. Refueling will stop automatically when the

tank is full. Follow the instructions on the

refueling station to turn it off.

8. Disconnect the CNG fill nozzle from the

fuel receptacle by slowly turning the lever

on the nozzle 180 degrees.

You may hear a brief hissing sound as a

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire

This vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire. If the tire has a large cut or is

otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the vehicle towed. If the tire

only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you can use the temporary tire

repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station for a more permanent

repair.

If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually

to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.

1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking

brake.

2. Put the shift lever in P.

3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK 0.

When towing a trailer, unhitch the trailer.

WARNING

Running the engine with the vehicle in

an enclosed or even partly enclosed area

can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon

Only run the engine to power the air

compressor with the vehicle outdoors.

NOTICE

Do not operate the tire repair kit compressor

for more than 15 minutes. The accessory power

socket and compressor can overheat and become

permanently damaged.

Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure

shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher

than actual. After the sealant injection is complete

the pressure will drop and then begin to rise again

as the tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To

accurately measure the air pressure using the gauge,

turn the air compressor off only after the sealant

injection is complete.

If the required air pressure is not reached within

10 minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged

for the kit to provide the necessary seal and your

vehicle will need to be towed.

fuel pressure regulator, a manual shut-off valve,

high pressure fuel lines, and other components that

comply with NFPA-52 standards.

The system in your vehicle, including the tank

and hoses, has been designed to hold gas at this

pressure. It has also been tested for safety. You

should never smell gas or hear a hissing sound

unless you are refueling.

Never modify or replace any original components or

parts with those specified for a gasoline vehicle.

Improper parts or components can damage your

vehicle’s fuel system and affect your vehicle’s safety

performance.

Unlike some gasoline models, your vehicle’s rear

seat-back cannot be folded down.
