Brake and Clutch Fluid

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 M I N mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or

worn brake pads.

Clutch System

The fluid should be between the

M I N and MAX marks on the side of
the reservoir. If it is not, add brake
fluid to bring it up to that level. Use
the same fluid specified for the
brake system.

Low fluid level can indicate a leak in
the clutch system. Have this system
inspected as soon as possible.
