Cooling System

Replacing Engine Coolant

The cooling system should be

completely drained and refilled with

new coolant according to the time

and distance recommendations in

the maintenance schedule. Only use

Genuine Honda Antifreeze/Coolant.

Draining the coolant requires access

to the underside of the car. Unless

you have the tools and knowledge,

you should have this maintenance

done by a skilled mechanic.

1. Turn the ignition ON (II). Turn

the temperature control dial to

maximum heat. Turn off the

ignition. Open the hood. Make

sure the engine and radiator are

cool to the touch.

2. Remove the radiator cap.

3. Loosen the drain plug on the

bottom of the radiator. The

coolant will come out through the

hole in the splash cover.
