Cooling System

Adding Engine Coolant

If the coolant level in the reserve

tank is at or below the M I N 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 Genuine Honda

Antifreeze/Coolant. 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.

RESERVE TANK

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.
