In Case of Emergency
find a leak, it must be repaired
before you can continue
driving. (See Towing on page
191
.)
•
If you don’t find an obvious
leak, check the coolant level in
the radiator reserve tank. If the
level is below the MIN mark, add
coolant to halfway between the
MIN
and MAX marks.
•
If there was no coolant in the
reserve tank, you may also
have to add coolant to the
radiator.
Let the engine cool down until
the pointer reaches the middle
of the temperature gauge, or
lower, before checking the
radiator.
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.
•
If needed, add coolant to the
radiator to bring the level up to
the filler neck, and to the
reservoir up to the level
indicated on the reservoir tank.
Proper equipment must be used to
prevent damage to vehicles during
any towing. State and local laws
that apply to vehicles in tow must
be followed. Get detailed towing
instructions from your Honda
dealer.
Should it become necessary to
tow your vehicle, follow these
directions.
Precautions
•
Before towing, make sure that
the power train, axle,
transmission, wheels and
steering system are in good
condition.
If any of these items are
damaged, a flatbed trailer must
be used.
