*1: If a Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 12 months after the display is
reset, change the engine oil every year.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 24,000 km (15,000 miles). *3:
If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industryand diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen lter every 24,000 km (15,000 miles).
*4: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission
temperatures. This requires transmission uid changes more frequently than recommended by
the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the
transmission uid changed every 40,000 km (25,000 miles).
*5: If a Maintenance Minder Indicator does not appear more than 36 months after the display for

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 Coolant
1. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add
the speci ed 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 reserve tank cap counterclockwise and relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do not push the cap down when turning.
3. Push down and turn the reserve tank cap counterclockwise to remove it.
4. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches the MAX mark.
5. Put the reserve tank cap back on, and tighten it fully.
If temperatures consistently below 22°F ( 30°C) are expected, the coolant mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer for details for more information.

reservoir.
Canadian models
If the washer uid level is low, the washer level indicator or a message appears in the Driver Information Interface.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer
reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution can damage the windshield washer pump.

The uid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir.
We recommend using Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3.
Pour the uid carefully.If the uid level is at or below the MIN mark, have a dealer inspect for leaks or worn brake pads as soon as possible.
The brake uid reservoir is also used for your vehicle’s clutch uid. As long as you keep the brake uid level as instructed above, there is no need for checking the clutch uid level.Brake uid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle’s braking system and can cause extensive damage.
