Brake Fluid, Power Steering

Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3
brake fluid. If it is not available, you

should use only DOT 3 or DOT 4

fluid, from a sealed container, as a
temporary replacement. However,
the use of any non-Honda brake fluid

can cause corrosion and decrease
the life of the system. Have the
brake system flushed and refilled

with Honda DOT 3 brake fluid as

soon as possible.

Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your car's braking
system and can cause extensive
damage.

Brake System

The fluid level should be between

the M I N and MAX marks on the side
of the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the MIN mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.

Power Steering

You should check the fluid level in

the power steering reservoir
monthly. Check the level when the
engine is cold. Look at the side of
the reservoir. The fluid should be
between the UPPER LEVEL and
LOWER LEVEL. If it is below the
LOWER LEVEL, add power steering
fluid to the UPPER LEVEL.
