left engine compartment cover (see

Independent of the Maintenance

Minder information, replace the

brake fluid every 3 years.

Always use Honda Heavy Duty

Brake Fluid DOT 3. If it is not

available, you should use only DOT 3

or DOT 4 fluid, from a sealed

container, as a temporary

replacement.

Using any non-Honda brake fluid can

cause corrosion and decrease the life

of the system. Have the brake

system flushed and refilled with

Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid

DOT 3 as soon as possible.

Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not

compatible with your vehicle's

braking system and can cause

extensive damage.

The fluid level should be between

the MIN and MAX marks on the side

of the reservoir. If the level is at or

below the MIN mark, your brake

system needs attention. Have the

brake system inspected for leaks or

worn brake pads.
