Power Steering, Hood Latch

Power Steering

MAX

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.

Always use Genuine Honda Power
Steering Fluid. If it is not available,
you may use another power steering
fluid as an emergency replacement.

However, continued use can cause
increased wear and poor steering in

cold weather. Have the power
steering system flushed and refilled
with Honda PSF as soon as possible.

A low power steering fluid level can

indicate a leak in the system. Check
the fluid level frequently and have
the system inspected as soon as
possible.

Turning the steering wheel to full left

or right lock and holding it there can
damage the power steering pump.

Hood Latch

Clean the hood latch assembly with a
mild cleaner, then lubricate it with a
multipurpose grease. Lubricate all
the moving parts, including the pivot.
Follow the time and distance
recommendations in the
Maintenance Schedule. If you are
not sure how to clean and grease the

latch, contact your Acura dealer.
