MAINTENANCE
Window Washer Fluid
Check the amount of window washer fluid using the
1/2 mark on the reservoir. If the level is low, fill the
washer reservoir. Pour the washer fluid carefully. Do
not overflow the reservoir.
Canadian models
If the washer fluid is low, a message appears on the
multi-information display (MID).
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield
washer reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle's paint. A vinegar/water
solution can damage the windshield washer pump.
Brake Fluid
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the
reservoir. We recommend using Acura Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3.
Pour the fluid carefully.
If the fluid level is at or below the MIN mark, have a
dealer inspect for leaks or worn brake pads as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your vehicle's braking system
and can cause extensive damage.
Checking the Battery
Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.
For jump starting, see page 113.
WARNING
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: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
