Figure 15 Brake Fluid and Coolant Access Door
The brake fluid reservoir (1) is located under the dashboard (Figure 15). Raise the access panel located on
top of the dashboard to check the brake fluid level.
When checking the brake fluid, also inspect the following:
• The presence of brake fluid on the exterior surface of the master cylinder indicates a leak.
• The brake fluid reservoir diaphragm (located in the cap) should not have holes or other damage.
BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid level should be within 1/4-inch (6 mm) from the top of the reservoir (Figure 16). Also, brake fluid
should be clean with no residue in the bottom of the reservoir or other evidence of contamination.

CAUT ION
• Use only DOT 5 (silicone) brake fluid. Use of any other type brake fluid is not recommended.
ENGINE OIL
Even though the low oil warning light on the instrument panel should illuminate if the oil level becomes low, the
engine oil level should be checked daily. The vehicle should be on a level surface when the oil is checked. Do
not overfill with oil.
OIL PRESSURE – GASOLINE ENGINE
The gasoline engine has an oil filter that is mounted on a bracket next to the back side of the front panel. Inlet
and outlet oil-carrying hoses enable oil circulation to and from the engine. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The normal oil pressure value stated in the Honda engine manual is 28 psi at idle; however, the
remote filter design causes oil pressure to be 18 psi, which is normal for this type of oil circulation
design.
