Brake Fluid, Power Steering

Brake Fluid

Check the fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir monthly.
The brake fluid should be replaced according to the time recommenda-
tion in the maintenance schedule.
Always use Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3. If it is not
available, you should use only DOT 3
or DOT 4 fluid, from a sealed
container, as a temporary
replacement. However, the use of any non-Honda brake fluid can cause
corrosion and decrease the life of the
system. Have the brake system
flushed and refilled with Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 assoon as possible.
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your car's braking system and can cause extensive

damage.
Brake System
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side
of the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the MIN mark, your brake system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads. Power Steering
You should check the fluid level in the power steering reservoir at leastonce a year. 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.
