does not come on when the key is
turned to the "ON" position
without the engine running or
when the parking brake is set.
This light does not eliminate the need for brake inspection and
maintenance. The brake fluid
level must be checked regularly.See the maintenance section of
this manual for other brake
checks.
If the light remains on after
engine start up with the parking
brake released, or comes on during operation of the vehicle, it
may mean that there is something
wrong with the brake system.

What to do?1. Check to see if the parking
brake has been fully released.
2. If it has, pull off the road and
stop carefully. Remember that: Stopping distances may be
longer.
You may have to push
harder on the pedal. The pedal may go down
farther than normal.
3. Have the vehicle towed to the nearest Honda dealer for
repair.
Do not continue to drive with the
brake system light on. There may
be a serious problem with the braking system. Driving under
this condition is hazardous and
could lead to an accident.
The brake system light does not indicate that the parking brake is
fully set. When applying the
parking brake, always pull it up as
far as possible. Hig

Chargin g Syste m

This light should come on when
the key is turned to the "ON"
position and the alternator is not
charging. The light may stay on at
engine idle; however, it should go off and stay off above the normal
engine idle speed. If the light
comes on while driving, the
charging system should be
checked at once so the battery will
not completely discharge. Stop the engine, and check for a broken
drive belt. If it is broken, or if the
drive belt is not responsible for the trouble, have your Honda
dealer inspect and correct the
fault. If the drive belt is broken,

Propelle r Shaf t
Lubricate the sliding yoke with
EP chassis grease. Lubricate
universal joints with grease
containing MoS 2 (molybdenum
disulfide-type grease) at the intervals shown in the
Maintenance Schedule. Also
check the propeller shaft
flange-to-pinion bolts for proper
torque of 64 N.m (46.3 Ib-ft).
Most lubrication recommendations
and procedures for four-wheel drive-
equipped vehicles are the same
for the corresponding components in conventional drive vehicles.
Exhaus t Syste m
Check the complete exhaust
system and nearby body areas for
damaged, missing, or
mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections, or other
deterioration that could allow
exhaust fumes to seep into the
passenger compartment or cause
heat build-up in the floor pan. Any
necessary corrections should be made immediately. For continuedsafety, exhaust system pipes and
resonators rearward of the muffler must be replaced whenever a new
muffler is installed.
Fue l Lin e an d Fue l Tank/Ca p
Inspect the fuel tank, cap and lines
for damage that could cause
leakage. Inspect the fuel cap and
gasket for correct sealing ability
and indications of physical
damage. Replace any damaged or
malfunctioning parts.
Driv
e Bel t
Check the belt driving the
alternator, power steering pump,
and air conditioning compressor.
Look for cracks, fraying, and wear. Replace as necessary.
Timin g Bel t
The timing belt should normally
be replaced at the intervals shown
in the Maintenance Schedule.
Valv e Clearanc e
Incorrect valve clearance will
result in increased engine noise and lower engine output, thereby
adversely affecting engine

performance.
