Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant\
level in the
radiator. We recommend Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
Checking the Reserve Tank

Check the amount of coolant in the reserve tank.
2.
If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add
the specified coolant until it reaches the MAX
mark.
3.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Adding Coolant 1.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
2.
Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and
relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do
not push the cap down when turning.
3.
Push down and turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise to remove it.

The coolant level should be up to the base of the
filler neck. Add coolant if it is low.

the MAX mark. Put the cap back on the reserve
tank.
