Servicing Your Honda
If the level is at or below the lower
level mark, check the brake pads for
wear (page 135 ).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads
are not worn beyond the recommended
limit, have your brake system inspected
for leaks.
Other Inspections

Check for deterioration or cracks in the
hoses and fittings.
