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.

Check the fluid level in the reser-
voirs monthly. There are two reser-
voirs. They are:

Brake fluid reservoir
Clutch fluid reservoir

The brake fluid should be replaced
according to the time recommenda-
tion in the maintenance schedule.

Always use Honda Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid DOT 3. 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
Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 as
soon as possible.

Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your car’s braking
system and can cause extensive
damage.
