Cooling System

Checking the Engine Coolant
Level
RESERVE TANK
Check the level of the engine coolant
by looking at the radiator reserve
tank next to the battery. If the level
is at or below the MIN line, add
coolant to bring it up to the MAX line.
This coolant should always be a
mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50%
water. Never add straight antifreeze
or plain water.
Maintenance
Always use Genuine Honda Anti-
freeze/Coolant. The cooling system
contains many aluminum compo-
nents which can corrode if an
improper antifreeze is used. Some
antifreeze, even though labeled as
safe for aluminum parts, may not
provide adequate protection.

Adding Engine Coolant
If the reserve tank is completely
empty, you should also check the
coolant level in the radiator.
Removing the radiator cap
while the engine is hot can
cause the coolant to spray out,
seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and
radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.
