Cooling System
Checking the Coolant Level
Check the level of the engine
coolant by looking at the radiator
reserve tank next to the air filter
element box. If the level is at or
below the MIN line, add coolant to
bring it up to the MAX line. This
coolant should always be a mixture
of 50% antifreeze and 50% water.
Never add straight antifreeze or
plain water.
Always use Genuine Honda
Antifreeze/Coolant. The cooling
system contains many aluminum
components which can corrode if
an improper antifreeze is used.
Some antifreeze, even though
labeled as safe for aluminum parts,
may not provide adequate
protection.
Adding Radiator Coolant
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.

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.
