Lift and Support Points
Floor Jack
Apply the parking brake and block the wheets thatare not being lifted.
When lifting the rear of the vehicle, put the gearshiftlever in reverse (Automatic transmission/Cw in Eposition).
Raise the vehicle high enough to insert the safetystands.
Adjust and place the safety stands so the vehiclewill be approxlmately level, then lower the vehicleonto them.

NorE: The items m arked * 1, *2, +3, *4 and +5 on above chan are described as folows:*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because itdoes not contain the proper additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affectshift quality.+3: Use Genuine Honda cVTfluid only usingotherfluid can affect tra nsmission operation and may reduce transmission life.*4: Always use Genuine Honda DoT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and dec.ease the lifeof the svstem.*5: Always use Genuine Honda Power steering Fluid. using any other type of power steering fluid or automatrc transmissionfluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.
