Brake and Clutch Fluid, Power Steering

Clutch System

MIN

MAX

The fluid should be between the

M I N and MAX marks on the side of

the reservoir. If it is not, add brake

fluid to bring it up to that level. Use
the same fluid specified for the
brake system.

Low fluid level can indicate a leak in

the clutch system. Have this system
inspected as soon as possible.

Power Steering

UPPER LEVEL

LOWER LEVEL

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.

Always use Genuine Honda Power

Steering Fluid. If it is not available,

you may use another power steering

fluid as an emergency replacement.

However, continued use can cause
increased wear and poor steering in
cold weather. Have the power

steering system flushed and refilled

with Honda PSF as soon as possible.

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.
