You may detect a slight natural gas
odor for a few moments after
refueling. This is normal. You should
not be able to smell natural gas at
any other time. If you do, or if you
hear a hissing sound, your vehicle’s
fuel system may have a leak.

If this happens, follow these
directions:

Park your vehicle in a well-
ventilated area and apply the
parking brake.
Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Open all the windows and the
trunk lid for ventilation.

Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK (0) position.

Turn the manual shut-off valve to
the OFF position to shut off the
natural gas (see

on page

in this

supplement).

You cannot continue driving. Your
vehicle should be towed to an
authorized Honda Civic GX dealer
(see

in the

primary owner’s manual).
