Cooling System
Adding Engine Coolant
If the coolant level in the reserve
tank 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 percent antifreeze and
50 percent water. Never add straight
antifreeze or plain water.
Always use Genuine Honda anti-
freeze/coolant. The cooling system
contains many aluminum compo-
nents that 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.

Maintenance
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.
