Brake and Clutch Fluid, Power Steering

Clutch System

MIN

MAX

The fluid should be between the

MIN and MAX marks on the side of

the reservoir. If it is not, add brake

fluid to bring it up to that level. Use

the same fluid specified for the

brake system.

Low fluid level can indicate a leak in

the clutch system. Have this system

inspected as soon as possible.

Power Steering

UPPER LEVEL

LOWER LEVEL

Check the level when the engine is

cold. Look at the side of the

reservoir. The fluid should be

between the UPPER LEVEL and

LOWER LEVEL. If it is below the

LOWER LEVEL, add power steering

fluid to the UPPER LEVEL.

Always use Honda Power Steering

Fluid. If it is not available, you may

use another power steering fluid as

an emergency replacement.

However, continued use can cause

increased wear and poor steering in

cold weather. 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.

Turning the steering wheel to full left

or right lock and holding it there can

damage the power steering pump.
