Do not replace the original steering wheel with any other
design since it will make it impossible to properly install
the airbag {only use genuine Honda replacement parts).
After reassembly. confirm that the wheels are still turned
straight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angle is
correct, lf minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary, do
so only by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing and
repositioning the steering wheel.

Lubrication Points
\_For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied, refer to the illustrated index and various work pro-
cedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the proper additives.*2: Always use Honda ATF-Z1 (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.*3: Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease thelife of the system.*4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmis-sion fluid can cause increase wear and poor steering in cold weather.i
