Pour the f luid slowly and caref ully so
you do not spill any. Clean up any
spill immediately; it could damage
components in the engine
compartment.
If the level is below the lower
mark, add f luid into the dipstick
tube to bring it to the level
between the upper and lower
marks on the dipstick.
Always use Honda Genuine ATF-Z1
(automatic transmission f luid). Insert the dipstick all the way back
into the transmission securely as

Make sure the rubber cap on the

service is indicated on a maintenance
message on the inf ormation display
or on the multi-inf ormation display
(depending on models).
If you are not sure how to add f luid,
