Braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired
immediately after washing the vehicle.
Anticipate longer stopping distance to avoid
a possible accident.
Finishing Touches
After washing your vehicle, consider using a
commercially-available spray cleaner/polish
or quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job.
Use only a non abrasive polish or wax made
specifically for vehicles or automobiles.
Apply the polish or wax according to the
instructions on the container.
If a surface on your vehicle is chipped or
scratched, your Honda dealer has touch up
paint to match your vehicle’s color. Be sure
to use your vehicle’s color code (page 44)
when you buy touch-up paint.
Removing Road Salt
The salt contained in the road surface
freezing prevention medicine which a road
was sprayed with in winter, and the seawater
becomes the cause which rust occurs in.
Wash your vehicle by the following point
after it runs through such a place.
1. Clean the vehicle using cool water
(page 68).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
2. Dry the vehicle and the surface of the
metal is protected with the wax.
STORAGE GUIDE
Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from
non-use of the vehicle. In addition,
necessary repairs should be made before
storing the vehicle; otherwise, these repairs
may be forgotten by the time the vehicle is
removed from storage.
STORAGE
1. Change the engine oil.
2. Empty the fuel tank into an approved
petrol container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method. Spray the inside of the tank
with an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
If storage will last more than one month,
carburetor draining is very important, to
assure proper performance after storage.
