Brakes (cont'd)
Brake Fluid
Check the fluid level in the brake
reservoir periodically; it should be
between the MAX and MIN marks
on the reservoir.
If the level is near the MIN mark, add
fluid to raise it to the MAX mark. Do
not overfill. Use only brake fluid
manufactured to DOT 3 or DOT 4
specifications (see reservoir cap)
from a sealed container. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions printed
on the can.
NOTE:
A low brake fluid level may be an indication of brake pad wear or of
brake fluid leakage. You should have your brakes checked if the
brake fluid level in the reservoir is low before re-filling it.
CAUTION:
The arrow on the reservoir cap must be pointing forward after the
cap is installed. Make sure the brake warning switch wiring doesn't
get caught between the cap and top edge of the reservoir.
Anti-lock Brake Fluid
(US: EX/SE/Anniversary Edition,
Canada: EX-R/SE)
Check the fluid level in the ABS
reservoir periodically.
To check, drive the car for a few
minutes to equalize fluid pressure in
the system.
The level should be between the
MAX and MIN marks on the
reservoir. If the level is near the MIN
mark, add fluid to raise it to the
MAX mark.
Do not overfill. Use only brake fluid
manufactured to DOT 3 or DOT 4
specifications from a sealed container.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the can.
If the level is more than 10 mm (0.4 in) above the MAX mark, it may
indicate a malfunction of ABS. Have an authorized Honda dealer
check the system as soon as possible.
