Cooling System

Do not add any rust inhibitors or

other additives to your car's cooling

system. They may not be compatible

with the coolant or engine compo-

nents.

Replacing Engine Coolant

The cooling system should be

completely drained and refilled with
new coolant according to the time
and distance recommendations in

the maintenance schedule. Only use

Genuine Honda Antifreeze/Coolant.

Draining the coolant requires access

to the underside of the car. Unless
you have the tools and knowledge,
you should have this maintenance

done by a skilled mechanic.

1. Turn the ignition ON (II). Slide

the heater temperature control

lever to maximum heat. Turn off

the ignition. Open the hood. Make

sure the engine and radiator are
cool to the touch.

2. Remove the radiator cap.

3. Loosen the drain plug on the

bottom of the radiator. The

coolant will come out through the
hole in the splash cover.
