Brake and Clutch Fluid

Check the fluid level in the reser-

voirs monthly. There are up to two

reservoirs, depending on the model.

They are:

Brake fluid reservoir (all models)

Clutch fluid reservoir

(manual transmission only)

The brake fluid should be replaced

according to the time and distance

recommendations in the mainte-

nance schedule.

Always use 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

4-cylinder models

MIN

The fluid level should be between

the MIN 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.
