Cooling System

Do not add any rust inhibitors or
other additives to your car's cooling
system. They may not be compatible

with the coolant or engine compo-

nents.

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
Honda All Season Antifreeze/

Coolant Type 2. Use of any non-
Honda coolant or plain water can

result in corrosion and deposits in
the cooling system.

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). Slide

the heater temperature control
lever to maximum heat. Turn the
ignition off.

2. Open the hood. Make sure the

engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.

3. Remove the radiator cap.

4. Loosen the drain plug on the

bottom of the radiator. The
coolant will drain through the

splash guard. Remove the drain

bolt and washer from the engine
block.
