find a leak, it must be repaired

before you can continue

driving. (See

Towing on page

.)

If you don't find an obvious

leak, check the coolant level in

the radiator reserve tank. If the

level is below the MIN mark, add

coolant to halfway between the

MIN and MAX marks.

If there was no coolant in the

reserve tank, you may also

have to add coolant to the

radiator.
Let the engine cool down until

the pointer reaches the middle

of the temperature gauge, or

lower, before checking the

radiator.

If needed, add coolant to the

radiator to bring the level up to

the filler neck, and to the

reservoir up to the level

indicated on the reservoir tank.

Proper equipment must be used to

prevent damage to vehicles during

any towing. State and local laws

that apply to vehicles in tow must

be followed. Get detailed towing

instructions from your Honda

dealer.

Should it become necessary to

tow your vehicle, follow these

directions.

Precautions

Before towing, make sure that

the power train, axle,

transmission, wheels and

steering system are in good

condition.
If any of these items are

damaged, a flatbed trailer must

be used.

In Case of Emergency

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.
