Brake and Clutch Fluid

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.

Brake Fluid

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.

Brake System

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.
