Cooling System

Adding Engine Coolant

MAX

MIN

If the coolant level in the reserve

tank is at or below the MIN line, add

coolant to bring it up to the MAX line.

Inspect the cooling system for leaks.

This coolant should always be a

mixture of 50 percent antifreeze and

50 percent water. Never add straight

antifreeze or plain water.

Always use Honda All Season

Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. This

coolant is pre-mixed with 50 percent

antifreeze and 50 percent water. It

does not require any additional

mixing.

If it is not available, you may use

another major-brand non-silicate

coolant as a temporary replacement.

Make sure it is a high-quality coolant

recommended for aluminum engines.

However, continued use of any non-

Honda coolant can result in

corrosion, causing the cooling

system to malfunction or fail. Have

the cooling system flushed and

refilled with Honda antifreeze/

coolant as soon as possible.

If the reserve tank is completely

empty, you should also check the

coolant level in the radiator.

1. Make sure the engine and radiator

are cool.

Maintenance

Removing the radiator cap

while the engine is hot can

cause the coolant to spray out,

seriously scalding you.

Always let the engine and

radiator cool down before

removing the radiator cap.
