Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding
CAUTION: when pouring engine coolant, be sure to
shut the relay box lid and not to lst coolant spill on the
eleqtrical parts or the paint. lf any coolant spills, rinse it
off immediately.
1. Slide the heater temperature control lever to maxl-
mum heat. Make sure the engine and radiator are
cool to the touch.
Remove the radiator caP.
Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant'

8. Mix the recommended antifreeze with an eoualamount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
o Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.. For best corrosion protection. the coolant con_centration must be maintained year_round at50% minimum. Coolant concentrations less than50% may not provide sufficient protectionagainst corrosion or freezing.. Coolant concentrations greater than 60010 willimpair cooling efficiency and are not recom_mended.
CAUTION:
. Do not mix difforont brands ofar ilreeze/coolants.. Do not use additional rust inhibiiors or anti_rustproduqt3; they may not be compatible with thecoolant.

Start the engine and let it run until it warms up (theradiator fan comes on at least twicer.
Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator.add coolant if needed.
Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run the engineagain and check for leaks.

Bleeding
CAUTION:
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using 8
non-Honda brak€ fluid can cause corrosion and
docrea3e the life of the system.
. Make surs ||o dirt or other foteign matter is allowed
to contaminate the brake fluid,
. Do not spill brake lluid on the vehicle, it may damago
the paint; if brake lluid doos contac{ the paint, wash
it ofl imm€diately with water.
NOTE: The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at
the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of the bleeding
procedure and checked after bleeding each brake
caliper. Add fluid as required.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at
the MAX lupper) level line.
MAX {UPPER) LEVEL
CYLINDER
Have someone slowly pump the brake pedsl several
times, then apply steady Pressure.
Loosen the brake bleed screw to allow air to escape
from the system. Then tighten the bleed screw
securely.
Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequence
shown below until air bubbles no longer appear in
the fluid.
Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX (up-
per) level line.

9. Remove the four booster mountlng nuts
10. Pull the brake booster forward until the clevis is

CAUTION:
. When connecting the brake lines. make sure
that there is no inte erence between the brake
lines and oth6r Parts.
r Be careful not to bend or damage the brake lines
when installing the master cylinder.
NOTE: lf replacing the master cylinder or brake
booster, check and adiust the pushrod clearance
be{ore installing the master cylinder (see page 19-221'
Fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the
brake svstem (see Page 19-7).
After installation. check the brake pedal height and
