Power Steering, Air Cleaner Element
Power Steering
You should check the fluid level in
the power steering reservoir
monthly. Check the level when
the engine is cold. Look at the
side of the reservoir. The fluid
should be between the UPPER
LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL. If it is
below the LOWER LEVEL, add
power steering fluid to the UPPER
LEVEL.
Using automatic transmission
fluid or another brand of power
steering fluid will damage the
system. Use only Genuine Honda
Power Steering Fluid-V.
A low power steering fluid level
can indicate a leak in the system.
Check the fluid level frequently
and have the system inspected as
soon as possible.
Turning the steering wheel to full
left or right lock and holding it
there can damage the power
steering pump.
Air Cleaner Element
The air cleaner element should be
replaced every 2 years or 30,000
miles (48,000 km), whichever
comes first. Under severe driving
conditions, it should be replaced
every 12 months or 15,000 miles
(24,000 km), whichever comes
first.
Cleaning (Severe Conditions)
Clean the air cleaner element by
blowing compressed air through
it in the opposite direction to
normal air flow. If you do not have
access to compressed air (such
as a gas station), ask your Honda
dealer to do this service.
Follow the replacement
procedure for removal and
reinstallation.
