Brake System Bleeding

NOTE:
• Do not reuse the drained fluid. Use only clean Honda
DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container.
Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion
and shorten the life of the system.
• Do not mix different brands of brake fluid; they may
not be compatible.
• Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed
to contaminate the brake fluid.
• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage
the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it
off immediately with water.
• The reservoir connected to the master cylinder must
be at the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of the
bleeding procedure and checked after bleeding each
wheel location. Add fluid as required.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir (A)
is at the MAX (upper) level line (B).
