Maintenance
Engine Coolant
This coolant is premixed with 50% an tifreeze and 50% water. Do not add any 
straight antifreeze or water.
We recommend you check the engine coolant  level every time you refuel. Check the 
reserve tank. Add the engine coolant accordingly.
1.Check the amount of coolant in the reserve 
tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the  MIN mark, 
add the specified coolant until it reaches 
the  MAX  mark.
3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Specified coolant: Ho nda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2
■Checking the Coolant
1Engine Coolant
NOTICE
Genuine Honda engine coolant is a 50/50 mixture of 
antifreeze and water that can withstand freezing at 
temperatures as low as about −31°F (−35°C). If your 
vehicle is consistently subjected to temperatures 
below this, the concentration of antifreeze in the 
coolant should be increased. Consult a dealer for 
details.
If Honda antifreeze /coolant is not available, you may 
use another major brand of non-silicate coolant as a 
temporary replacement. Check that it is a high quality 
coolant recommended for  aluminum engines. 
Continued use of any non-Honda coolant can result 
in corrosion, causing the cooling system to 
malfunction or fail. Have  the cooling system flushed 
and refilled wi th Honda antifreeze /coolant as soon as 
possible.
3WARNING
Removing the reserve tank cap while the 
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray 
out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool 
down before removing the reserve tank 
cap.
