NOTICE
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your 
vehicle's braking system and can cause extensive 
damage.
If the specified brake fluid is not available, you should 
use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid from a sealed 
container as a temporary replacement.
Using any non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion 
and decrease the longevity of the system. Have the 
brake system flushed and refilled with Honda Heavy 
Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 as soon as possible.
If the brake fluid level is at or below the MIN mark, 
have a dealer inspect for leaks or worn brake pads as 
soon as possible.
