HONDA 2013 Ridgeline - Manual (Page 252)

Screw the fuel fill cap back on
until it clicks at least once.
If you do not properly tighten the
cap, you will see a ‘‘CHECK FUEL
CAP’’ message on the information
display (see page
).
Push the fuel fill door closed until
it latches.
Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off. Do
not try to ‘‘top off’’ the tank. This
leaves some room in the fuel tank
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.
If you do not properly tighten the
cap, you will see a ‘‘TIGHTEN
FUEL CAP’’ message on the multi-
information display.
Your vehicle’s on board diagnostic
system will detect a loose or
missing fuel fill cap as an
evaporative system leak. The first
time a leak is detected a
‘‘TIGHTEN FUEL CAP’’ message
appears on the multi-information
display.
