Bleeding
CAUNON:
. Do not spill brake tluid on the vehicle. it may damage
the paint; if brake fluid does contaqt th€ paint, wash
it otf immodiately with water.
. Maks sure no dirt oy other forsign matter is allowsd
to contaminate the brake fluid.
NOTE:
. Do not reuse the drained fluid.
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using
a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and
decrease the life of the svstem.
. The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the
MAX (upper) level mark at the start of bleeding pro-
cedure and checked after bleeding each brake caliper
and wheel cylinder. Add fluid as required.
1, Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at
the MAX (uDDer) level line.

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 tluid.
Refill the reservoir on the master cvlinder to the
MAX (upper) level line.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Features/Construction
When the brake pedal is pressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop. In such an event,
the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is reduced if the
rear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels to
ensure maximum grip force from the tires, and it thereby ensures maneuverbility and stability of the vehicle.
The ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the vehicle speed and the wheel speed, then it controls the brake
fluid pressure to attain the target slip rate.
