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.

Removal
NOTE:
. Replace the timing belt at 105,000 miles (168.000 km)
according to the maintenance schedule (normal con-
ditions/severe conditions).
lf the vehicle is regularly driven in one or more of the
followlng conditions, replace the timing belt at 60.000
miles (U.S.A.) 100,000 km {Canada).
.In very high temperatures (over 110'F.43'C)
. In very low temperatures (under -20'F, -29"C)'
! Turn the crankshaft pulley so the No. 1 piston is at
top dead center (TDC) before removing the belt (see
page 6'21).
. Inspect the water pump before installing the timing
belt {see Page 10-14).
1. Remove the splash shield (see page 5-7).
