Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant\
level in the
radiator. We recommend Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
Checking the Reserve Tank
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.

The coolant level should be up to the base of the
filler neck. Add coolant if it is low

.

Put the radiator cap back on, and tighten it fully
.
6.

Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches
the MAX mark. Put the cap back on the reserve
tank.
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expec\
ted, the coolant
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. See your dealer for\
information.
NOTICE

Radiator cap
Removing the radiator 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 radiato\
r
cap.
WARNING
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.
NOTICE

If the washer fluid level is low, fill the washer reservoir.
Pour the washer fluid carefully. Do not overflow the
reservoir.
Canadian models
If the washer fluid level is low, the washer level
indicator appears (see page 27).
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to\
kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a \
face
shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING
Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by a sensor on the negative terminal.\
If there is a
problem with the sensor, the charging system indicator appears (see page 24). Have
your vehicle checked by a dealer.
Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.
For jump starting, see page 104.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead\

compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshie\
