Brake and Clutch Fluid
Check the fluid level in the reser-
voirs monthly. There are up to
three reservoirs, depending on
model. They are:
Brake fluid reservoir (all models)
Clutch fluid reservoir
(Manual transmission only)
ABS reservoir
(Canadian VTEC model)
The brake fluid in the brake and
Anti-lock brake systems should be
replaced every 2 years or 48,000 km
(30,000 miles), whichever comes
first.
Brake System
The fluid should be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the side
of the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the MIN mark, it is an
indication that your brake system
needs attention. Have the brake
system inspected for leaks or worn
brake pads.
If you add brake fluid to bring it up
to the MAX mark, use Genuine
Honda Brake Fluid or an equiva-
lent from a sealed container that is
marked DOT3 or DOT4 only.
Brake fluid marked DOT5 is not
compatible with your car's braking
system.
