Brake and Clutch Fluid
Check the fluid level in the reser-
voirs monthly. There are up to three
reservoirs, depending on equipment.
They are:
Brake fluid reservoir
Clutch fluid reservoir (manual
transmission only)
ABS reservoir (cars with ABS)
The brake fluid in the brake an anti-
lock brake systems should be
replaced according to the time and
distance recommendations in the
maintenance schedule.
Brake Fluid
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 fluid replaced 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.
