Brake and Clutch Fluid

Check the fluid level in the reservoirs
monthly. There are three reservoirs.

They are:

Brake fluid reservoir

Clutch fluid reservoir

(manual transmission only)

Anti-lock brake system

(ABS) reservoir

The brake fluid in the brake and Anti-

lock brake systems should be re-
placed every 2 years or 48,000 km

(30,000 miles), whichever comes

first.

Brake System

The fluid 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, it is an indication that
your brake system needs attention.
Have the brake system inspected for
leaks or worn brake pads.

If you add brake fluid to bring it up to

the MAX mark, use Genuine Honda
Brake Fluid or an equivalent from a

sealed container that is marked
DOT3 or DOT4 only. Brake fluid
marked DOT 5 is not compatible with
your car's braking system.
