Cooling System
Adding Engine Coolant
Check the level of the engine coolant
by looking at the radiator reserve
tank next to the air cleaner housing.
If the level is at or below the MIN
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% anti-
freeze and 50% water. Never add
straight antifreeze or plain water.
Always use Genuine Honda Anti-
freeze/Coolant. The cooling system
contains many aluminum compo-
nents which can corrode if an
improper antifreeze is used. Some
antifreeze, even though labeled as
safe for aluminum parts, may not
provide adequate protection.
If the reserve tank is completely
empty, you should also check the
coolant level in the radiator.
1. Make sure the engine and radiator
are cool.

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.
