Brake and Clutch Fluid

Check the fluid level in the reser-

voirs monthly. There are up to two

reservoirs, depending on the model.

They are:

Brake fluid reservoir (all models)

Clutch fluid reservoir

(manual transmission only)

The brake fluid should be replaced

according to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule.

Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3

brake fluid. 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 DOT 3 brake fluid 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 M I N and MAX marks on the side

of the reservoir. If the level is at or

below the M I N mark, your brake

system needs attention. Have the

brake system inspected for leaks or

worn brake pads.
