WARNING
Removing the reserve tank cap while the motor is hot can cause the
coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
NOTICE
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Immediately clean
any spills—they can damage components in the motor compartment.

Brake Fluid

The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the
reserve tank. We recommend Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3.
Pour the fluid carefully.
If the fluid level is at or below the MIN

Electric dealer inspect for leaks or worn
brake pads as soon as possible.
