Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so
you do not spill. Clean up any spills
immediately; it could damage
components in the engine
compartment.

Always use Honda Power Steering
Fluid. You may use another power
steering fluid as an emergency
replacement, but have the power
steering system flushed and refilled
with Honda PSF as soon as possible.

A low power steering fluid level can
indicate a leak in the system. Check
the fluid level frequently, and have
the system inspected as soon as
possible.

The timing belt should be replaced
at the intervals shown in the
maintenance schedule.

Replace the belt at 60,000 miles
(100,000 km) if you regularly drive
your vehicle in one or more of these
conditions:

In very high temperatures
(over 110°F, 43°C).
In very low temperatures
(under

20°F,

29°C).

Check the level on the side of the
reservoir when the engine is cold.
The fluid should be between the
UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL.
If not, add power steering fluid to the
UPPER LEVEL mark.
